  1. Volvo XC 60, pretty much 31mpg however we drive it in whatever conditions. 215bhp 5 cylinder diesel on a 11 plate. Before that we have had Skoda Octavia Scout 4x4, 57 plate, 45mpg and 2 Nissan Xtrails, 53 plate and 54 plate, both 2.2 diesels, at about 40mpg. Regards Mark
  2. Loads on that auction site up North. Looking myself, but down South, so a PITA. Good luck. Mark
  3. All received safely. Thanks very much for a smooth transaction. I am sure I will make good use of the pellets, just need to hide them away before the wife gets home Regards Mark
  4. Age? Pictures? Magazine and fill probe included? Regards Mark
  5. How did it go? Interested as I will be on my first lamping run sometime over the next few weeks. Mark
  6. If you want a cheap scope and the tackle shop sells SMK, do they not have the lower end SMK ones in? New these are £10 - £20. As for cleaning, I have been told not to bother with an air rifle unless you are changing pellets and testing accuracy. Even then you will need to lead the barrel back in with the new pellets. I got a rifle slip for my son's SMK XS15 from our local shop for £6. Never going to set the world alight with quality, but keeps the gun covered in public between the car and the gun club. Regards Mark
  7. Looking myself and the Hawke 400 LRF appears to be just a shade over £100 new and also gets reasonable reviews. Picking one up at the weekend. Regards Mark
  8. what temperature or setting for the washing machine? Mate, the rabbit isn't going to care if it shrinks Regards Mark
  9. Bought my son a SMK XS15 last week, for the princely sum of £65 new. My son is a reasonably average build and strength 10 year old, he can cock and load the rifle with a little effort. The XS15 also has an auto safety, which I like. The aim is to learn gun safety and discipline, as well as shooting skills and then he can progress onto the Brocock Contour he seems to have set his sights (pardon the pun) on. Regards Mark
  10. One of the guys on (dare I say it) another forum has used camo tape to good effect. Took a few hours to do well, but presuming this is a MUCH cheaper route than dipping and easier to reverse if needed. http://www.airgunforum.co.uk/forums/anything-airgun-related/134448-afternoon-off-work-roll-camo-tape-bored-man-walk-into-spare-room.html Might be an option to consider. Regards Mark
