  1. Oh no you cant ......... The `Upgrade ` your refering to is a Rowan Engineering Multi shot Mag . It can be found here - http://www.rowanengineering.com/products1.htm The guys make vast amounts of custom parts , and the quality is second to none . I have one for my MPR , and it really is great addition to my `kit ` . You can contact the guys direct throught their website , or you may find them on AAOC ( Air Arms Owners Club ) Astro and Deker . In my opinion , a great bit of kit worth every penny . Buster. PS , as Davy rightly says for Pesting , yes , but for Tar
  2. the only advantage i think that would give is not having to fumble for pellets when lamping at night. other than that i can load a pellet by hand in the same time as it takes to spin the magazine round.
  3. happy new year tony, hope you enjoy your holiday! i got a sling and a camera for xmas and should have some scopecam footage shortly.
  4. hi all, i believe i am getting a handycam for xmas and up until now i was sure i'd fix the cam to my scopes ocular lens and you see the reticle which sounds great BUT after Si's vid on the difficulties of using a scopecam (thanks for the vid btw) im beginning think i should mount the cam either on the gun or on top of the scope. how would you go about doing this? im still unsure which one im going to choose but the top of the scope mount would allow a much more natural shooting position. i would never take unstable or uncomfortable shots which could risk a wound just to get a kill on film. w
  5. i only just found this topic after not beign on the forum for a few days and i reckon that he's not that bad, but many of his shots caused unnesercary suffering which could have been easily corrected but aiming a few inched higher. its not often i disagree with trusted members of the forum, but i hate seeing animals (even a crow) suffer. and 3 or 4 of the shots had the crow alive and wounded in the tree which could have been instant kills had he adjusted his aim. it was obvious to me he ahd enough accuracy, yet he chose not to the pellet in the brain. i dont quite get this.
  6. how about a red dot? much faster aiming which can be real boon when ratting. i think jsramsbottom do a lot of mini scopes too.
  7. my mum once held the lamp for me, but thats it
  8. i've been on this forum for 2 years and i think the colliegrehyhound incident was just some prick who wanted to seem big with lots of guns, thinking we're stupid enough to think that someone who has been asking novice questions and thinking of buying crap guns would have theoben rapids and bsa ultra :/ and this is probably him. BUT just incase this is genuine (highly unlikely) just ansewr questions as you would nomrally. the sings will become all too obvious after a while if this is collie.
  9. i always push my thumb on the bolt just before firing as all too many times i've pulled the trigger on a seemingly easy shot and have been greeted with a blast of air in my face and a pigeon flapping off unharmed.
  10. great gun! i want that camo on my rifle! did he o it himslef?
  11. nice rifle mate! does the adjustable butt pad come as standard or dd you fit it afterwards? if so, how?
  12. nice kit buster! and why not use a ft rifle for hunting? the adjustability is an amazing advantage.
  13. just to have my say i think camo is not as important as good fieldcraft. rabbits have pretty poor vision. they see in black and white and as long as you move at snails pace (literaly), stay down wind, keep sound levels to a minimum you can wear pretty much anything which breaks up your shape by the slightest. this is what fieldcraft is all about. squirrels are fairly stupid IMO and most of the time they spot you first, go up a tree and stop at the first branch. they believe that you being a ground predator that they are perfectly safe up a tree, obviously not knowing that pellets are'nt ground
  14. this reminds me of kiplings 'how the elephant got its trunk' story. i loved those when i was little.
  15. if you look in the airgunners section, and in the rifle reviews technical help theres a good guide by davy pinned.
  16. hi all, well i got up this morning at 7:30 to stake out this spot where i had seen a lot of pigeons feeding recently. i got there at about 8:00 after a quick zero check. there was a fallen tree a paced 38yrds away which provided the perfect spot to look over a row of hawthorns and a large crab apple tree. before long a strong left to right wind picked up as usual and i honed in how much hold-off in needed on a few hawthorn berries. it was going to be a hard shoot because i was to my very limits with the varying wind. out of nowhere i noticed a squirrel vigourosly feeding on some hawthorn berr
  17. i find tha pigeons stick to the same roost trees, but will have numerous sitty trees. maybe some a near a crop, some have good vantage point, others have food supplies like hawthorns and sloes. you have to hunt around for good sitty trees, and find out what time of day they are using them.
  18. al right then, im in. will be using a rifle identical to yours steve, except with a mtc mamba lite 4-16x44
  19. air arms s400s and s410s are excellent rifles but remember you will need to pay for charging equipment (either a dive bottle or a pump) on top of that which will be a extra £120. go down the shop a handle a few of guns below and see which one fits you best. you havent given a budget so these will range from £350-£800. these are the well known and proven guns going from cheapest to most expensive: BSA ultra single shot air arms s200 single shot air arms s400 single shot nsa ultra multi shot air arms s410 multi shot bsa r10 multi shot daystate huntsman hw100k hawke scopes are good
