    I’ve got a full tin of barracuda .25 here. Won’t fit in my fx magazine. Any takers welcome to them , on the house of course....

    Just a heads up for anyone looking for a dust cap for the fill port. if it’s already been posted on here and I’ve missed it please accept my apologies !. for a gunnof that price I’d expect one with rifle but after looking at several magnetic types on eBay I settled on a sleek push on version from Best Fittings. Comes on and off easily and is available in a few couloirs to suit. I got the silver for under a tenner and it’s kept any dirt and debris out while keeping the aesthetics of the rifle in line. thouroughly reccomend ?

    .223 is the better allround calibre ( my opinion ) .22-250 would however give an advantage in knockdown power and trajectory and wind drift if you were regularly shooting past 200 yards on a night. If you shoot different areas land types then go .223.if your land consists of huge wide open fields then the bigger calibre would be useful so go .22-250 I use the .223 90% of the time with 40grainers. When it’s windy on the bigger fields I use the .243 with 75 grainers but I find the .223 a very quiet , cheap and effective round to shoot.

    To be honest deker, just purely and totally to try something a bit different. No logical or long winded reason. Just fancy something different. The .25 seems to sit on the edge of the heavy side.... once you get up over the trajectories get loopy but its got plenty of punch and not too much penetration from what I can gather. Ive never shot the .25 and I fancy giving it a go. not planning on long range stuff, just bunnies out to around 50 and squirrels. To be honest I've got plenty of tools for different jobs and im sure that either the .22 or the .25 will fill my needs. I just

    Cheers for the replys its looking like the power needs to be around 45-50 fps to get best results then. Cant understand why Bsa run it at 33. Possibly limited to bottle size or working pressures maybe ? Im liking the fx impact, looks great and very compact but I'm finding many people having issues with them when looking at them on net. Also today for example, my lad slipped and his bsa ultra stock ended up in the sloppiest bit of muddy crap in the field, just wiped it over in the sink when we got back home. If that had been me with the impact then no doubt since many of th

    Ive decided to try the .25 calibre in FAC , and am looking into which model to purchase. Some manufacturers clearly display the power output and fps and some don't. Bsa for example state a speed of 665 fps from their R10 .25 cal FAC model on their website. I've ran this through the apps and its giving up to around 30 ftlb dependant on pellet. I hear many lads recommending a muzzle velocity of close to 900 fps for .22 and .25. Id appreciate a few opinions and suggestions from .25 FAC users on whats best as the power output of the calibre will dictate which rifle to purchase

    I'd avoid the x sight as there are much better alternatives at much cheaper prices. Add ons like the home made stuff can be ok for a relatively cheap cost but the mass produced shite like the nite site range is so over priced it's redicolous for what you get considering your looking through a tv screen with loads or wires and fiddly bits hanging off yer gun. A photon is a good starting point and is best at short ranges, say 30-150 yards and would be ok for a air rifle, rimfires or .243. The next step up would be a 2nd hand pulsar which are ok but not brilliant. For around 800 there's the war

    It's a good unit David, don't get me wrong..... Just my personal opinion the position of the controls could be located a bit more ergonomically but just my preference. Just nit picking really.........

    Mint condition and can be sold with deben tracer 900 ir illuminater A good friend of mines asked me to put it up on here for him , and I've used the unit a lot myself. Not my cup of tea personally ( a bit fiddly and not the most user friendly unit ) but rangefinder works well and it's ideal for rabbits on hmr / .22 etc. He bought it new so he's got all relevant boxes and paperwork etc, think it's about 9 months old. £975 with the illuminater . Just edited to say il forward his details via pm if anyone's interested.
  15. dixyhmr
    I like using the pulsar on the rimfires out to 150 yards as the clarity at that range is usable and the rangefinder on the pulsar plus the option of having 3 preset zeroes means it swaps from .22 to .17 easily. The buttons on it and the whole configuration is not well thought out though and finding the buttons in the dark etc is a pain. Why they put the rangefinder buttons and focus etc on the right hand side is baffling me. The drone is far far better picture clarity and image quality. If it was going on a .22 or id go pulsar with range finder every time. The hmr is debatable as you p

    Just wondering what you guys are running on your custom / semi custom rigs. I'm getting a new heavy barrel soon to replace the 20" sporter. I'm thinking 26" heavy un fluted and also considering changing the chamber to .243 AI. I've spoke to a couple of guys who reckon the 26" barrel is optimum for powder burn and velocity as long as the weight isn't an issue ( it's not ). Does anyone run a 26" barrel ?. And any of you lads with .243 ackley offer any advice if it's worth changing from the standard .243 chambering ?.
  17. dixyhmr
    Around 700 fitted, chambered proofed etc. I've had a few quotes recently for a rebarrel myself and this is about the going rate.

    With my experience of hardy mods id say this is a perfect excuse to bin it and get a decent strippable mod. If not just leave it in as there's the off chance it could make it quieter !. Bloody loud things at the muzzle them hardys. Surely if you can see through the mod then it's not blocking anything so for a few shots through it checking it each time. After a dozen shots the patch will have epithet burnt up or will have moved position letting you poke a rod through and push out the remains ?
  19. dixyhmr
    Agree with above . Get a secondhand Baikel o/u for 100-300 quid. ....... Then you can get a pump and a semi and a s/s and a silenced 410 and maybe a new shiny o/u. Start basic and work up. A o/u is also a safer option for new shooters as you can break the gun which makes everyone round you less nervous !

    Looks like I'm sorted now lads thanks to this lad

    If anyone can point me in the direction of any available ferret kits in this area itl be much appreciated. My Jill never took this year and I regret getting my best hob snipped as I've lost his line now. I'm after a hob, possibly two. Colour or type irrelevant as long as they are from decent stock. Thanks .

    I've just bought a bsa ultra for my lad to use. Tonight we were plunking and somehow a .177 pellet has dropped down and into the hole where the bolt magazine feeder comes from. The bolt will only pull back and forth now and won't lift. I've took the action from stock and can't see a way off getting into the internals to hunt for the rogue pellet !. Anyone have any advice ? Thanks
  23. dixyhmr
    I have for sale an air rifle I bought last year for plinking in the garden with my son but he never really took to the whole tin can thing as he prefers being out hunting !. To be honest it's a shame as I still enjoy knocking a few tin cans over......... The rifle is a .177 break barrel with a youth size stock and the ft lbs is approx 6-7 if I remember right. It's light weight and although it fits adults it's ideally suited as a starter or plunking gun for kids and teenagers. It has the record trigger which is two stage and adjustable. It was bought new and I've still got the instru

    Il take a look at that. Cheers for posting link. I've used mine just recently to shoot rabbits consistently out to 250 yards. I've not done it yet but I reckon shooting rabbits is more than possible at 300 with the drone. I'mage quality is absolutely superb. A friends just purchased on as well.

    Got some here mate. Pm me where to send them and il post em tomorrow
