  5. Lamping Problem

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    There few ways to stop the glare

     

    1. If it is possible move ur lamp to the side of the gun

     

    2. Depending on what lamp u have u can fit a sunshade style cover over ur lamp if it's a large halogen lamp a flower pot with the end cut off will do the job if its a smaller led lamp a piece of plastic piping with do the job.

     

    I personally don't like the 2 methods I mentioned above

     

    3. what I prefer to do cover the top of the scope lense with a bit of tape you will want to cover about 1/3 of the top of the lense to stop glare I keep a roll of insulating tape in my rifle bag for this reason

  8. Most Accurate 'out The Box' .22 ??

    All or most pcp air rifle are super accurate comes down to range and power for further out distances a firearms rated gun shooting heavier pellets will be more accurate as it's not affected by the elements as much.

     

    I have a 177 hw100 and a fac daystate airwolf on a 40m indoor range they were both shooting one hole groups but outside the 177 was all of the place compared to the 22 don't get me wrong the 177 was accurate but took more time to calculate were the impacted will be as for my 22 airwolf shooting at 37ftlb can shoot eley magnums on the windy days out to 50m with very little deflection from the wind.

     

    So if ur shooting in good condition or inside range a 177 will shoot flatter thus needing less hold over at different ranges.

     

    But it ur out on windy days or just live in a windy area ur best going a bit heavier on the pellets.

     

    My friend just got a brocock and sent it away and had it tuned and a regulator fitted when it came back no difference in accuracy at all yes shot count was up a good bit. As it had a good power curve before the reg was fitted it's hard to notice the difference from before and after.

     

    Great cheap accurate light weight air rifles I see myself getting one at some point

  10. Low Velocity 22 Ammo?

    I won't use anything but eley subs yes there a bit more expensive than other brand.

     

    When I had my .22 ruger bolt action I had my mildots on scope calibrated out to 115yards and producing 1 inch groups on extremely calm days.

     

    I now have a 10/22 but it is not anywhere near as accurate as the bolt action 85 yards max with it for hunting

  11. Grand Vitara 1.6

    I have had 2 1.6 vitara's and now have a 2.0td I actually prefer the 1.6 as it seems alot more reliable and no turbo to go which has happened to me but all turbos go at some point.

     

    The only time I have been stuck in the mud is when I went off roading with road tyres got stuck at 4am in the morning and had no phone signal had to walk 2 miles before I got signal to get the miss to come collect me and then again when I drove into a bog whilst lamping about not looking were I was going.

     

    The difference a set of good mud tyres makes is night and day

    There are loads of good torches available all depends on how much u want to spend as said above the t67 is a bit o.t.t for air rifle

    check out the crelant 7g6cs and the thrunite tc10 better build quality than the t20 t67 etc but don't come with different coloured pils/led

    u can buy a kit with ir red white and green pils there is also a one mod and 3 mode in these torches one has a constant high beam the 3 mode will have a low medium and high handy [BANNED TEXT] in a cattle shed [BANNED TEXT] u are shooting close range and don't want to much light

    t20 is plenty for air rifle ranges

     

    If u do decide to get a torch which uses 18650 batteries buy good one don't buy anything with fire in the name pure junk.

     

    Good batteries

    So had a long wait for my new rifle I have had brass and bullets and dies sitting on the reloading bench withing but as I'm moving from N.I to Scotland I can't put it on my license as cf license is taking 5 months over here by that time I will have moved and will have to surrender my n.I licence and start a new new Scottish application so be lucky if I get my hands on it by Christmas next year
