    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

    BSA Hornet .22 Multishot PCP Air Rifle - SOLD In very good condition ! Complete with magazine and fill probe. 'Blueprinted' by John Bowkett.

Loads of tosh talked about 'pellet on pellet', but at my working zero (26 yards) it really does produce just one

    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

    . 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

    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

    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

    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

    Hi Working on it, but can't get the flash to work on the camera so will have to wait for 'daylight' ;-) Alternatively, I am also in Oxfordshire - we could meet up and you 'have a play' . . . . . pm me to discuss. Regards JonP

    BSA SuperTEN rifle in .22 inc. Dr Bob's QF - FAC SOLD A BSA SuperTEN in .22 delivering a very consistent 26 ft-lbs. This is a bit of a special, as it is basically a Stalker but without the expensive Walnut stock. (It is fitted with a beech MkII stock). When Adrian Hartley was selling the Stalker rifles he did all the lovely wood work and bling, whilst John Bowkett did the engineering. This rifle is one which John obtained when he bought back all the 'metal work' when Adrian stopped production, so it has the tweeked internals, and more importantly, has the full length ref

    BSA Ultra Multishot in .22 - Tench regulator - SOLD This is the MMC version (which I prefer as you can decock and make safe without removing the magazine) and has been fitted with a Tench Regulator so fills to 232bar and gives 65+ consistent shots across the entire fill. It averages 11.55 ft-lbs with JSB Exacts 15.9gn It is in very good condition and comes with two magazines, the fill probe and a moderator. I have used this as a dedicated night vision ratting rig for the couple of months or so, but my wife reminded me of the extravagance of having a gun which is only used a

    Hi -- I have the LRF900 Leica and use it daily. It is effectively a x8 monocular which when you press a button, gives you the distance in yards (can be Euros if you prefer!) Nice and simple, and brilliant optics. Main thing though. The information is displayed via red LED's in the centre of the field of view,so you can use the Leica in poor light / at night. I have seen others which have LCD displays and are next to useless in poor light. I use mine for foxing, (NV / Laser to mark / Range finder for distance / holdover / bang.) Regards JonP

    You're getting good at this video editing lark Malc ;-) Nice one - professional quality video and sound . . . . have you got a new camera ? As you know, I too am a JB fan. Can't wait to see what new ideas he has in the pipeline. Was out last night on the rabbits. Before it went dark the FAC Scornet (Regulated Scorpion with MMC cocking) did the business, and once dark, the Hornet (setup for night vision) kicked in. Got a right telling off from both the dog (left at home) and the wife (dog and I woke her up when I got home) . . . it was a little late. Don't time fly when your hav

    I wanted a new scope to so I decided to do the selection process ‘properly’. My Needs To have a scope for an air rifle (12 ft-lbs) which would give me the ability for general daytime use (at ranges up to 50yds) and also allow me to use a GB Sights ASPro digital night vision add-on for close range vermin control ( 5yds to 25yds). So I had a think about my criteria . . . Cost no more than £150 Minimal magnification on smallest zoom (ASPro has a 1.7 multiplier) Fine reticle (ideally Mil-Dot) (fine because of multiplier as above) Has at least 10x magnification (so I can get to g

    I too have Steiners - the 8 x 56 NightHunters and they are well 'fit for purpose' ! They are used daily (for the past 8 years or so) and are a bit big and heavy (like me ;-) but are rubber armoured and the optics are superb. I particularly like the auto sport focusing thingy as no knobs to fiddle with. They compare favourably with some of the big name / high price tag brands, although not cheap at about £750 http://www.steiner.de/en/binoculars/hunting/nighthunter-xtreme-8x56.php Regards JonP

    'Several feet' is an understatement !!!! Try nearly 30 feet !!!!!!! And apologise if this offends some but - Even to try to shoot at live quarry at any distance where you cannot be sure to provide a humane dispatch, never mind hitting the thing, is grossly irresponsible ! Never mind the tosh about enough energy. With that sort of action, you start to fall into the grasps of the Wildlife and Countryside Act as well as the Animal Welfare Act ! JonP
