    I have broken eggs in the catch compartment, but I'll try a little red sauce mixed in - thanks for the tip. Mark

    Thanks jok, I'll look into the matches! I'm not permitted to keep a live call bird in my trap because its in my garden and may offend the neighbours according to the WO.. So I'm just using a plastic decoy. Atvb Mark

    Hi everyone, After receiving my unique trapping number from the local WO the other day, I've decided to finally act and rid my garden of these horrible creatures. That's my trap out and set with a decoy, so wish me luck on my first time using a Larsen! Atvb Mark

    Hi mate, thanks for that. I actually have a tin of 4.52's lying around somewhere that I bought for a different gun somewhere along the line I think. Even though I'm using the single shot loader now almost exclusively now anyway, I'd still like to know that my mags and pellets will cycle without problem if I'm hunting. I'll give the 52's a go when I get a chance. Cheers buddy ?

    Pretty sure it's the new type, it's a new gun?

    Thank you everyone ?... I'll probably be using the single shot adapter a lot of the time anyway but I'd like to know that my mags will cycle properly when I want them too. Thanks again guys. Mark.

    Hi folks Can anyone tell me if certain pellets will make a magazine jam? I tried JSB exact diabolo 4.53 in my 177 Scorpion SE today, after them being recommended for my rifle. However after jamming two magazines on two separate occasions, I decided not to bother with them, and went back to testing other pellets for probably 200+ shots without a problem. Is this just coincidence it happened both times on the JSB's or could it be the pellets? Cheers, Mark.

    Looking forward to getting out to zero my new setup. ?

    So it arrived today and I'm very impressed I must say. First thing I noticed is that it was slightly on the heavier side, but the build quality is absolutely superb.. And I'm not putting it on a tx or anything.. So who cares! The hmd reticle is nice and thin but not so much so it'll disappear in low light. Finger turrets are positive and provide a reassuring click. The magnification window is a nice touch, and the matte finish is really sleek. It's a nice addition as well with the 60mm screw in sunshade. Just need my rifle back from BSA now to get it mounted.

    Hi Sam nice one mate.. I'm well impressed with the 4th gen Hills, I'll never own a bottle.. enjoy your new rifle bud ?

    I'll keep you posted mate ?

    Hi Deker, I've no want or need to spend hundreds and hundreds on a scope, my post was simply generalising on model that's in my desired price range. As it turned out I didn't buy a hawke, I bought a Discovery VT-1 Pro 3-12x42 hmd. I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow, so looking forward to getting it mounted on the scorpion! Cheers, Mark

    Any alternatives you could recommend around the 160 quid mark? Cheers, Mark

    Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the above scope? My intended use would be a bit of everything, but probably the most important factor for me would be for it to perform reasonably well in the odd HFT shoot.. Hence being drawn to the 40mm objective. How does the AMX reticle fair against a normal half mil dot? The scope would be mounted on my Scorpion SE. Mark

    Give it some time buddy and put in a few hours getting used to the way the gun recoils and how to hold it lightly and let it cycle and move as it needs to in your hands and against your body. If you still don't have any luck mate I'd try a few different pellets.. That's always worth a go! Good to hear you're on the mend - keep us posted on how you get on. Enjoy your new rifle bud ?. Mark

    Hi mate are you sure it's not just technique managing the recoil of a springer? They can be tough to shoot super accurately without putting in the practice to learn the gun. Also have you done any pellet testing? My hw95 absolutely hates a few big brands. Cheers, Mark.

    Hey chaps, Just wondered if anyone on here is north of the border like me, and if so what clubs do you shoot at? Cheers, Mark

    So that isn't filling me with joy mate! ? Thankfully it wasn't yodel who collected this afternoon ?
  20. maha87
    Ha thanks lads, looks like that will do the trick then. It's away back to Birmingham under warranty.. Super slow barely noticeable air leak, but an air leak nevertheless.. on a brand new gun. ?
  21. maha87
    Thanks bud ?

    Hi guys, Just wanted to know how everyone packs their beloved rifles if they are to be collected by courier for example, and put (possibly thrown) into the back of a van? I have used 5m of bubble wrap on the gun itself and sealed it in an old buffalo river gun slip. Then a further 8m to wrap both the case and gun in. Does anyone know of a better way? Thanks, Mark

    Very nice bigmac, I did consider the tactical version but chose beech in the end. Really nice setups mate, cheers for the pics ??

    Just had the scorpion out for the first time at the club lads, could not be happier ?. It's really very windy where I am just now, so I stuck to the 25yd indoor range today. After some pellet testing, (jsb exact 4.52, Falcon accuracy plus, air arms field diabolo) surprisingly it was the RWS superdomes that were giving me the best results! I was shooting at the usual 25mm and 15mm targets, and have put a few pics of my groupings at the bottom. BSA scorpion se, absolutely fantastic. Pic one - 3 shots 25mm target Pic two - same 3 shot group with another 2 shots into it making

    They're nice Rez huh ?. I could have sold a springer or two to pay for it, but I knew I'd miss them so I didn't part with anything. Sold my TX200 HC a few years back, and regretted it ever since ?.
