    Thanks a lot for the kind words Ruby16, much appreciated. I should point out that you paid sight unseen, so in my opinion you deserve more credit than me! All the best, Eric

    Hi WoodsmanJim, Yes, I'll try and get out sometime this week and do some testing, fingers crossed for some good weather. Got the selection packs from Pellet Perfect (http://www.pelletperfect.co.uk/) Had a good day out up at Byley FTC, first time up there and what a fabulous place. Great bunch of enthusiasts from a very wide cross selection. All sorts of gear in use and a really excellent set-up with a wooded shoot around water. I'll certainly be sure to pull through between pellets and I'll set the Chrony F1 up attached to Chrono Connect so I can upload the results. Eric

    Chased about everywhere after a non-camo bean bag cushion and was let down by a couple of places. Got hold of Redbeck (http://www.airrifleshop.co.uk/) and they got a black one out in two days for standard posting cost. Excellent result!

    +1 for the AA Diablo Field. They really appear to suit my HW 97K a treat - although, I recently ordered up a 'variety pack' of JSB Exact Diablo 4.51, 4.52 and 4.5 mm, JSB Exact RA 4.52mm, JSB Exact Express 4.52mm and Weihrauch F&T Spec 4.51mm and intend sitting down with them sometime next week. I'll try and present as detailed report as yours Jim. So, pull through after each variety and then pop a few through before starting?

    I was in a very similar position recently - originally had a 77K back in the early 80's, loved it to bits. Recently came back to air rifle shooting and analysed every last bit of information I could find. OK, choice made, it's going to be a Air Arms S400 Superlite in .177. Off I trot to the gunsmiths and when I get my hands on it, it just doesn't feel right. Alright, I know it's an extremely accurate bit of kit capable of placing pellet on top of pellet, but with all the paraphernalia of tanks and bottles and valves and kit - and then the reports of leaking valves etc.. I'm still in two minds.

    Hi, what about the front one fella? How did you attach that one? Use a 14.5mm Bisley swivel with a single turn of black insulation tape between it and the cocking lever, both for snug fit and to protect metal finish. Works just fine.

    Hi Rob, really interesting reading. any chance you could post the URL of the YouTube video's, I can't see them on this iPad. Thanks, Eric

    Got my .177 KTS a couple of weeks back and have to admit, after fitting the V-Mach kit it really does feel like a nice fit. Incidentally, Bisley swivels are fine in the synthetics stock so long as you make sure the 'pilot' hole you drill leaves a good amount of material for the thread to pick up on. Used my drill on slow-speed screwdriver mode to insert the pin, then reattached the swivel.

    Good write-up, not too sure about lying on a muck heap though :-)

    I think I saw one of these last weekend, trouble was it was 'Nestle'd' down in the grass and I couldn't get a clear shot :-)

    Welcome from another 'newbie'. Yes, the weather certainly did take a turn for the better over the weekend, my wife reminded me of a few jobs that require attention - they do have such wonderful memories for these things wives, don't they? Happy shooting.

    After being away in NZ for the past eleven years I recently got back and decided to take up air rifle shooting again. I say again, because the last time I used an air rifle seriously was when my son James asked if he could have one at age thirteen. We lived in a built-up area then, although on the verge of open countryside, so I told him that of he could find a local farmer who would let us shoot over his land I'd get him one. Well, he was off on his bike every night for best part of a month before he returned triumphantly. So, off we went and got a couple of (then, brand new and only just on
