  1. Cheers guys Umm never really thought of it like that phil... maybe thats how I ended up in this mess in the first place without thinking it through
  2. Stock update All ghastly camo removed A bonus is that as the original surface was sprayed over and dipped... the stock is already super smooth!! so I have given it a good going over with 0000 and here it has had a quick wipe down with white spirit to remove any grease etc. Looks fantastic!! I dont even think ill need to stain it Going to leave it to dry out for 24hrs then re asses but very pleased so far

  10. Hello all I have been meaning to do this for a while now and I have finally gotten around to it... As many of you know my original air rifle is a Daystate Air Ranger in 177 It is a brilliant gun and I love to shoot - with some degree of success It really is a beautiful rifle and I still think the Air Ranger/Wolf stocks are the best looking factory ones you can get (you can have your own opinions that one is mine) so what did i do to this beautiful rifle? ..... ... covered it in camo dip which i was happy with for a while.... until the novelty wore off and the re

  14. I've got a dutch Shepard cross, but he is getting old now and only wants to go out to the garden for a piss and not chase pigeons will have to look into a backstop
  15. Im with you skot .. I find my best groups are when I only use 1 pellet
