    Hi, I've been using a scope that came with a daystate air rifle I bought a few moths ago. It has a 30 30 retical and I don't realy get on with it after I used to have a Hawke night eye with a mildot retical so I went to a shop to look at a new scope and what mine might be work trade in. After the guy in the shop had looked at my scope said it was a fake as it said made in China on it. As at the time I was also having trouble zeroing it, so thought it might be because it was fake although it looks good. Has anybody else seen anything like this? It looks well made and is smooth and a

    Ahh I see, I thought when people mentioned having a general licence it was a physical licence I would have to apply for. Thanks for clearing that up Malt much appreciated. Mart

    Thanks for that Malt, what I don't understand is, if you as you say you don't have to fill anything in or have a copy what do o have todo to gain a licence? Just read it and print off a copy? Or am I missing something?

    From the forms it would appear not , although it does seam abit over the top for someone shooting a known "pest" especially when there's no requirement for it for rats, rabbits and squirrels although I can see how this could be over looked as the internet is full or forums with people showing what they have shot and YouTube is full of videos but there's little mensioned about what licences you need unless you go and look for it. As until I posted this topic it was the first I new of any licence with regard to air rifles other than the F A C licence for 12ft/lb + rifles. Know I know t

    AR177 - no worries, it is hard to gauge tone on a forum. Hi Malt, ya your right,new to this sort of thing which is why i joined the forum and started the post rather than just going streight out and killing things. I've been practicing for a good while now and can get good groups now which is why i feel i would atleast be able to take out a bird or two in an as humanly way as possible. Ive also nearly finished building a night vision set up fter seeing the NS200 kits i thought i'd have a good go at making as theres chance of abit of ratting at my grans farm building. Ive had a

    So the problem I have is that the girlfriend loves to feed all the birds in the garden with fat balls and bird seed everywhere but the feeders and garden are being wreaked by jackdoors, and woodies, there also two magpies that keep coming in. Would I be ok to shoot these pesky birds with my air rifle? I've got decent back stops behind where the feeders are so the pellet shouldn't leave the premissis but where would I stand if for sake of argument one that was hit managed to fly over the fence into next doors garden? Could I be reported? The people either side of me are pretty friendly

    Hi, New to the forum but I'm half way through making a simular set up, I have the same screen as you but I bought one of the larger CCTV cameras with the 48 IR ring around them, there more than half empty so I'm just using the chip out of it which is a 1/3 Sony CCD with 16mm lens and 540tvl, its making a realy good picture but I'm struggling to get it well aligned and the correct distance from the scope to stop it going all black around the edges. Do you have any tips for lining it all up?? As your looks to be set up well! Also what size battery pack/rating are you using with the set up?

    Well it looks like you have abit to do anyway! Do you have a link to your other rebuild thread? Wouldn't mind looking what this one will be in for. Matt
