  2. Pard NV019

    in Night Vision & Thermal

    Posted

    Phil, am just waiting for people to get the NV-019`s in stock again before I order mine. But I will want to add an external IR (T38 as I already have it) as you have done but cant find that bit of rail with the tripod fitting...... Any chance of a link to where you found yours ?

  5. Hunting .with the 177 cal.

    in General Airgun Discussion

    A JSB Heavies fan here also.

    In testing I found that the best pellets in my rifle are either JSB Heavies or light pellets like AA & JSB express.

    Indoor when I travelled up to Atherton indoor range for some testing the AA express just grabbed it I would say.... but it was so marginal it wasn`t clear cut. What was a surprise though was that no medium weight pellets matched the heavies or express.

    So I tested out in the paddocks and at range the heavies very slightly nudged ahead. But for me the selling point on the Heavies has been on head shot rabbits and corvids straight on (H&L). The BC of the JSB heavies puts it flatter on trajectory than the Bisley Magnums, but still has the weight for smashing through breast bones on corvids etc. On rabbits its noticeable how much more damage is done with shots passing though...I suspect its the shape being like a plunger up the middle of a syringe (hydro-static cavity ?) dragging the brains out and dumping them in big bloody clot. 

    Just my observations though.

    The key without doubt though is placement.

  7. A&m cylinder

    Just got a new hw100kt and wanting an a&m cylinder for it, anyone know the best place to get them and what prices are they, cheers for any replys.

    The first thing I did when I got my HW100 (KT) .177 was I bought a A&M cylinder and silencer.

    I dont know what the shot count was originally but running JSB Heavies at 11.2ftlb it gives me 6 mags before the velocity (fps) starts to drop so 80-85 shots. 

    And none of my set-up has ever let me down. Happy to recommend the A&M products.

  10. Any Custom Stock Makers In The Midlands Area?

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    As above really, I have seen a few but they are places like Kent and Scotland which is not much use for what I want.

    I want to find someone who I can drive too in and hour or hour and a half tops so they can size / measure up, I am in Shropshire. Its for my HW100KT and I find the palm grip too small in an ideal world and also the length of pull on the trigger, I would like an extra 10-15mm reach for the trigger from my hand. I also dont want to have a big belly on the front of it making a hampster, a stock very similar in shape to the standard stock but laminate is what am looking at.

     

    Cheers for any help :thumbs:

  11. Is The Hw 100 The " Perfect Gun" ?

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Mitch, my shooting buddy just had his HW101 worked on by Phil @ The Ratworks. Main things though are his cylinder mod and a tench reg in it.

    He also has a HW100kt for hunting that has an A&M cylinder on it so we will see how they both fair.

    My HW100kt has A&M Cylinder and Silencer on that am very happy with.

    The final touch will be a stock that suits my hand size.

  12. Is The Hw 100 The " Perfect Gun" ?

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Gotta say I love my HW100KT (.177) too, the only thing I would change would be my stock, I want a bigger palm swell/hand grip and set a little further back from the trigger ! other than that no issues at all, love it. Bangs out JSB Heavies accurately and very well all day long and does everything I ask of it !

     

    So 2018 may see me get a custom stock for it, just gotta decide who to use next and get a price. Am in no rush so I can take my time and get it right.

  16. They Are Ordered ! 5000 Express .177

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    I normally order from Germany for JSB as My HW100 likes JSB Heavys, but Germany are out of stock currently so just bought a sleave to share with a mate from Voimir and as everyone says great service, packaging and price.

     

    But JSB Express....... How are folk finding them at range on quary IE past 40yards ? They are accurate in my HW100 but I have yet to find a pellet that beats the JSB Heavy for down range effect on quarry which is something I really value.

    Welcome to the area ! I am just up the road from you and within 10mile of you we have a good group of air gunners.

    Main choices will be:

    Furnace Mill

    Milride

    Penkridge

    Kinver

     

    Main one being furnace mill.

    We struggle for good Airgun shops but in Wellington there is Janes fishing tackle. Other than that I buy online or pop over to SFS or DAI sporting supplies.

  18. Which Springer To Buy?

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    For me it would be the HW 97 having shot the other rifles!

    It is just so much better operating for me !

    The LGU is accurate but it's just trying to be a HW and HW do it so much better.

    The TX again is very nice and maybe better out of the box but I can't stand the silly anti-bear catch thing.

    HW97 all the way and treat it to some refinement with a tune or upgrade kit, my money would be spent on a stage 2 at SFS after trying server so others and already owning my IMP !

  21. Sfs Imp Vs Banshee

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Rez,

    There's a very good reason I don't touch stuff like this, especially if it's load bearing or under pressure!

    If I had a go anything could happen from nothing to . . . . Well catastrophic failure resulting in injory to something or someone !

     

    Am best sticking to shooting and leave the messing about well alone !

    At £375 it's only £100 for the "imp-isation" which includes the silencer ! So am happy to do that.

  22. Sfs Imp Vs Banshee

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    As above folks I have pcp's and love them but I've never owned or really used a springer and never a tuned springer ! (Please don't hate me! Lol)

     

    I held a 97kt but didn't like it because the scope was so low / the cheek piece was so high it was unshootable for me.

     

    How ever I really fancy a SFS springer, most likely a Imp or Banshee!

    But I can't decide which of the two too choose!

    Which one would you recommend out of the two and why ?

    The rifles are very good quality but this just goes to show you that Si and Davey are right with what they say in there videos, good rifle, good preparation of kit inc pellets and good technique will deliver good results!they demonstraight this in there videos. So I for one wouldn't doubt it for a second.

     

    Am sure they could set up a nice little business helping folk with finding the right pellet, going through the clean process and then weigh and calibrate the rifle to the scopes aim points. I would sure pay for some of there assistance to get me and my setup working well !

     

    ATB to Si and Davey

     

    Regards
