  1. Yerr, the only thing I’ll be ordering from their menu is my favourite. No69, set meal for two..... ?
  2. That’s something you don’t see everyday, great suit, thanks for sharing.?
  3. Interesting stuff Ian. It will be good to see the results. Thanks for putting the time in to test them, and sharing your findings. Nice one fella......??
  4. If you mean the baracuda 18’s, I haven’t tried them. I just found a tin of ftt’s and thought I’d try them to see if they were accurate at higher speed than a 12ft lb rifle velocity. I didn’t expect good results with them to be honest. It seems they’re ok at mid twenties ft lb but start to go off at about 27 ish. I did turn it up to about 40 and they were all over the place. The baracuda 18’s would be interesting and probably better in fac?
  5. I thought I’d try these in the impact .22 as I had a few left. These were the 5.53 head size. I tried them on minimum power setting and at 840 FPS just over 22 ft lbs they were shooting half inch at 45 yards so not bad. I thought I’d turn the power up a couple of settings at power 1 about 24.5 ft lbs, again, they were fairly accurate. That’s about as fast as they liked as on power 2 at 900 FPS / 26.2 ft lb they opened up to over an inch. So, they seem ok up to around 850/860 FPS. If anybody’s still reading this drivel I finished with a bit of 90 yard plinking with jsb 18.1’s on power 4 / 34.5
  6. Has anyone on here used a Yukon photon? They’re reasonably cheap used and I was thinking of putting one on a .22 for night time rabbits. I realise that they aren’t the latest technology, but for a couple of hundred to put on a .22, worth it?
  7. Just out of interest, what’s your set up on the .204 night time rig Ian?
  8. Above 12 it’s pretty much unusable Stav? ? ???
  9. How are you getting on with the 008 Ben? I’ve been considering one myself but never used one. As I said, I couldn’t get on with the 007. Also, I found the pulsar a pain. There’s a few Yukon’s on fleabay atm, I might have a bid, not sure though?
  10. Mine was an early one, just standard dovetails. I think I used an ASI or Nikko 4x32 on it and it was ok. No mill dots, just 30/30 ret. I think the fixed mag scopes are probably less prone to fail due to less moving parts. I’ve had a 4x40 Japanese Apollo fourstar on a Theoben gas rammer for 30 years, never loses zero.
  11. That’s crap Jake. Mine was a great little rifle, bought it sometime in early nineties I think. Are they made in Birmingham or Spain now?
  12. If he’s going to spend a monkey, be better going for a used hw or air arms imo.
  13. What about the Yukon’s ? I couldn’t really get on with pard 007, but haven’t tried 008.........yet. But I can’t get on with add ons.
  14. Nah.....ditch that and get yourself a nice supersport ?
  15. Well that’s not good. Will you be getting another one, seems like the one you got hadn’t been maintained very well. I thought they were fairly durable.
  16. How much are these Ben? Let us know how you get on filling the rifle?
  17. Let us know how you get on with it Ben, hopefully you will have better luck than I had with mine. I might get one of these if yours is ok. ?
  18. Good shooting fd, good to see those rats bite the dust fella??
  19. Good work tinker, looks like you know what you’re doing anyway. It will be interesting to see how it performs fella.??
