  1. Try and have a look through a few. Various sellers, importers offer night sight evenings.you tend to get what you pay for with nv but it's also about being familiar with it and knowing how to get the best out of it. You can spend megabucks, but get the same results with more modes gear. Don't dismiss the pulsar. Good bit of kit at a good price relatively speaking. I've had one for a few years. The ATN x site looks interesting but I'd want to see through it first. It's got a lot of features but to me, the most important features are field of view and resolution. They can keep their gps etc.
  2. Bushy elite 6500. Had mine a few years now. Used mostly at night under a lamp, but good enough to see contrast when silage is cut for foxes on a clear night. Haven't had to adjust zero in as long as I can remember. Funnily enough, people saying about hawke scopes. I've got an old pro stalk. It's been on everything cf rf air rifles over the years. Oldest scope I own and still going strong.
  3. 22's are much of a muchness. You would have to look hard for something crap. Rifles I've had/used: Rem 597. With later mags, great gun. Still miss mine. Cz511 very underated can be had for peanuts. Cz452. Had one with a 16" barrel, great little rifle for shooting out a truck window . Accuracy was top notch. Good value. Sako Finn fire. If you can find a good second hand example, snap it up. If I was on the skids and needed money this would be the last rifle to go, and I have a few.
  4. I've got a howa1500 a mate has a tikka. Both good rifles but , I'm fussy with triggers. I fitted a timney to mine and it's awesome. The cheapy hogue flexes at the forend. Not great on a bipod. Fitted a boyds laminate. Neither were megabucks as I imported them from the US. My mates tikka was good straight out the box but more expensive. Both shoot very well. Can't comment on the other makes, but as much as I love my howa, I'd go for the tikka.
  5. all moderators cut down recoil more or less.I`ve got a wildcat on my .223 and its very good.Strippable, and appears to cut down noise satisfactorily. The only comparison i can make is with a T8 on a mates 22.250 so its not very subjective, but the T8 seems to do a really good job of taming the noise.It does ring noticably though.Not strippable. Hope this helps, but noise perception is difficult and can vary through a lot of things like surroundings, adjacent hills,and how far the bullet will travel to impact.
  6. Barrel touching the stock along its length. That will throw bullets all over.
  7. Mod loose? it happens. Otherwise, is your scope secure. Just looked at your original post: mod;check;scope, check. Is the barrel secure to the receiver.
  8. Cut 1cm off the folllower at the rear to squeeze an extra round in. You can cut more off and do an extra two but feed problems can happen. Adapted both of mine. Dont think cutting the spring will do anything but make it weaker.
  9. If you`ve cleaned it, then it may take a few shots to get it on song again. Rf`s dont take readily to a lot of cleaning. My rem 597, i clean the receiver so it cycles but rarely clean the bore. Doesnt need it.
  10. If your conditions mention the phrase`authorised by the chief officer of police` then its a closed certificate.
  11. Franchi 612 sporting s/a. For clays and occasional pigeons.12b Ugartechea sbs double trigger ejector. Pigeon gun.12b Norica b/a .410. General mooching around.
  12. I put mine in a drawstring bag that sunglasses often come in.
  13. I have a wildcat on mine. Good well made mod and strippable. In use it takes a lot of the loud boom away, in fact i shot a close range fox under the lamp and couldnt believe how quiet it was. The bullet didnt travel far enough to get a good head of steam on it, and make a long supersonic crack. Couldnt say how much they retail at. It came as part of a package.
  14. Yep, good calls. Vary the pitch with bite pressure. Hands free, i had a fox with it first time out. Its plastic so doesnt taste bad like some of the metal ones.
