  1. I have a BSA R10 Mk1 (late one with Mk2 internals) with blue mag and a VC moderator. Beautiful gun which shoots bang on ! Too nice / pretty to shoot out and about, hence looking for a work horse rather than a thoroughbred ;0) Regards JonP
  2. Hi Keith Yes please - as per PM Regards JonP

  5. BSA Hornet .22 Multishot PCP Air Rifle - SOLD In very good condition ! Complete with magazine and fill probe. 'Blueprinted' by John Bowkett. (Includes the JB test sheet showing just how accurate these things are ! ) Very smooth loading and cocking. Old style magazine which works ! Safe 'cocking' and 'decocking' so ideal for serious use. Very consistent. 566fps (+/- 4fps) with 15.9gn JSB's (11.4 ft-lbs) Very accurate. 19" Threaded Barrel. Loads of tosh talked about 'pellet on pellet', but at my working zero (26 yards) it really does produce just one
  6. Almost exactly 12 months ago I posted the following . . . . xxxx I have been doing some ratting on a local farm for some time now and popping in every 3 or 4 days for a couple of hours. I am using a Hornet Multishot in .22 and Accupells and a Challenger NV setup, and am getting 40 - 50 rats per outing, only just seeing a reduction in the numbers. However, what I have been seeing is a young dog fox. He usually appears within 15 minutes of me starting, and although he must know where I am - I can see him as bold as brass sometimes only 10 yards away standing, or even sitting - just
  7. . I use the Challenger on my ratting rig, having taken advice from Warbucks and using the IR illuminator from Some bloke. Together they work really well with the Hawke Varmint 2.5-10x44 SF. I tend to use the scope on the minimum 2.5 mag as most of the time I am taking the rats at between 15 and 20 yards. The image is clear and the cross hairs in focus - once you have adjusted all the variables (Scope eye piece, Challenger eye piece, Challenger focus, Scope side focus.) But once set - you can just leave it. Totally shootable from 3 yards to 25 yards. I also find that the IR
  8. Hi I have a new client / permission this weekend as a result of some other chaps failing miserably ! I got a call from a local farmer with a rat problem. He had been allowing two lads with air rifles to have free range of the farm and stables for a couple of months. They recently got themselves a night vision add-on (a NS I believe) and were out using it last week when they shot the control panel of a drier - mistaking the red neon indication light for a rat's eye. Unfortunately it is an oldish unit, and the spare controller PCB for the timer / humidity sensors are no longer a
  9. When I said minimal, I am talking on millimetres over air rifle ranges. I am a firm believer that any change to a scope mounting system - however well engineered or expensive, will not hold a perfect zero if removed then reattached. (I have nothing against the likes of Blazer - been there, done that. But for my larger calibres I prefer a fixed mounting system. Shooting out at long ranges, any minute difference is 'magnified' resulting in a different POI - it may only be centimetres at 600 metres, but a change never the less.) Having said that, provided that there is 'repeatabili
  10. I have been using a Challenger NV unit on my BSA Hornet for some time but was not happy with the mounting of the scope, as I was hoping to be able to have the scope move forward when using NV, then back for daylight use. I did try to use a 13mm to Picatinnny adapter but it proved unsuccessful (see bottom picture), so I toyed with the idea of mounting a Picatinny rail directly onto the top of the action. So here it is, a 10" Picatinny scope rail with a dovetail cut into the base. I had it made up by a local engineering firm using a good quality stock rail sourced from China. They p
