    Especially if you say you will always let him know when you are on the ground. That way he knows it is you - and the comment above about you being another pair of beady eyes looking out for his livestock/crops is absolutely right. A bottle and a card with a quick visit is worth a shot. £20 is cheap shooting for how ever long you have been there.

    Napier pellet lube?

    If the noise of airguns is a nuisance, what about the constant bang, bang, bang of a cricket ball on a bat....drives me MAD. I think cricket should be banned too - those hard balls do tremndous amonts of damage and are VERY dangerous because the batter has little control over where the ball is going.

    noprobs - that is why I said I would give you a few days. Boxing Day is, in fact, Weds, so loads of time to get back to me, which you have done. Do you still have the numbers or do you need me to send them again? You can ring the bank and do it you know - or do it on the internet if you are clever like that (I am not, I don't do any banking on the internet and don't do PayPal)

    No money come through SJT - you sending money or doing a bank transfer? Pellets are still here awaiting your payment. I'll give you until Boxing Day to contact me about payment, then putting them back up for sale if you don't want them. Fair enough?

    WHY? Mind you, why 3x Rapids? My single one does me.

    Daystate are good rifles WHEN THEY ARE WORKING. I have a Huntsman and would agree with the pointability, light weight, handyrifle - but the shot count is what lets it down. Only 65 shots at 12ft-lbs in .20 so how you would get 30 shots at 30ft-lbs is beyond me, 20 I might believe. I like the rifle though and the trigger is simply wonderful.

    FTT are usually pretty good.Give JSB Exacts a go too - even though they are 2 gn heavier they fly more efficiently and the arc of flight is very similar. I use FTT in my 20 Huntsman and JSB Exact in the Rapid,although it will also shoot the FTTs very well.

    A better scope if you buy used. hawke are pretty poor actually. Nikko no better. It is like being poked in the eye with a sharp stick if you have to look towards the light at all.

    At 30ft-lbs or above the Defiant Ogive is a goo dpellet,provided it suits your barrel. It is also important to get the right head size,which means more trial. If you try the wrong head size first you will probably give up on them, but if you can match the head size they areexcellent, even at range. I had a Scorpion that would group one ragged hole with them at 50 yards. My SLR shoots them well, so a range of barrels will work - CLEAN barrel a must.

    Where are these places please? Not having ever been to a range, other than our own on the farm, I have no idea where they are. I might be able to come, it would depnd on the work load.

    Still got the one I bought new in August 1985. It still works!

    I was lucky enough to work and fish with him - I fondly remember those forays around Seafod!

    The great man has breathed a bit of his magic on it. Silent as the night it is........not good on shot count though.......

    I have a farm with a massive feral pigeon problem. They use complete diet feeding,so they are there all year, but this cold weather brought in a flock of around of the things. The maize silage and the concentrates in the silage also brings in about 40 pheasants.....they are vermin just the same in this instance. It was -4.5 as I drove over, it is only 5 miles so the car hardly heats up. The Rapid was fully charged and I had two mags already loaded and a pouch of pellets, enough. The feed barrier was crawling with birds, magpies, crows various and the ferals,plus a load of small song birds

    Don't go for anything but a buddy bottle rifle - the shot count from a cylinder will be very low. Rapid is bomb proof and gives very good efficiency of air - plenty of people able to tweek them to be super quiet and air efficient. Rugged, reliable and cheap and easy to service. A good mk1 is a very good rifle when set up right - easier to set up right than a mk2 as well. A quick fill adaptor is a worthwhile addition if you are using it a lot - otherwise you have to take the bottle off to fill it (second bottle another way round it, always have one full!) .20 at 24ft-lbs = 65 spot on shots

    What is it - and wearing what barrel? My first port of call would be H&N FTT - they are pretty good in every 20 cal I have owned and most others too. Instead of having a variety of head sizes as with .177 and .22, there is just the one size with 20 cal.

    Well, with an ipad on you won't be able to see what you're doing will you - take the eye patch off!

    You cannot anodise steel.

    They are on the tool bar - where the yellow smiling face is, click the face and a string of them come up along underneath where you type.

    Link to what? A friend in a shed? This was a one off built for my rifle and my rifle alone. He has built himself a shroud for his 30ft-lb .20 cal, it is quieter than my friends Air Wolf with shroud and mk5 reflex for the Airwolf at just 12 ft-lbs. the shroud on his 30ft-lber is so efficient you can hold your hand 6" in front of the muzzle and the air blast is no more than if you blew on it....it all comes back down the shroud and exhausts at the back end, through a series of holes drilled in the end cap at the breech end.

    Hang on...why has my message to you, come to me?

    Hey - I did it! thanks.

    Same shape as the standard defiants - on the face of it. I really rate them, they work well in my SLR and the Scorpion t10 shot them the best of all. GREAT shooting there at 30 yards - bloody good shooting at 25 yards if the truth be told.

    Was that the fragmentation bowl you were turning? Be safe in there, dangerous things, man sheds. You should be able to get some nice, seasoned ash soon.
