    If you want a second opinion, you can watch the verminhunterstv vid of the show and the man on the hull cartridge stand says that the left hand option is factory only/not user changeable.

    Well she was a qualified shooting coach so I suspect she knew a bit about rifles.

    The info in the vid said , the cocking leaver can be changed from right to left by the user Giles makes a good video, and he may have got the info from someone else, but the lady from Hull cartridge that I specifically asked while I was having a go, said there were other things to change than the lever. One is a piece that stops the mag from going in the wrong side or being pushed through. She said it required opening the gun up and would invalidate their warranty. you can see the piece she pointed out at 1:06 in the video at the bottom of the mag slot.

    Apparently the changing of the left to right handed is a gunsmith job. At least the lady from hull cartridge said the warranty would be void if you swapped it yourself. Was nice to handle and lighter than the 100.

    If i told you lunch was served between 12:00 and 13:00 you would know when you could get fed and wouldn't expect to get food at 13:01. What's wrong with the wording between 14 and 18 years then? Same with over 18. 18 and 1 hour is over 18.

    So they turned up on the day they said to collect the parcel for next day delivery and you didn't give it to them? Of have I missed something? exactly as automatically if the parcel is not collected by 6pm a failed to collect is started and the order is cancelled, would you want your parcel floating about with no record of it Fair enough I had missed something then. I didn't know about the 6pm cut off.

    I seem to remember with the last cocking of the goldstar the mag indexed half a turn so the probe wouldn't go forward again. I loved my one and keep my eye out for others as I regret seling/PXing it. although I wouldn't have had my FN19 if I hadn't. Simon

    One other reason for your wandering hole is that after a while the hole is so big that you can't aim at a single fixed point anymore. So one shot creeps a bit to the left, the aim point is wider so you aim a little to the left, which pushes the pellet further to the left.... Try giving your top turret a dozen up clicks. Your pellets won't be hitting where you aim, but the group will probably be tighter.

    It also depends on what you want it for. Super high mag, huge objectives scopes for Field Target are stupidly expensive. >£1000 Evening/night hunting in fields, something with a big objective medium mag. Hunting rats in barns, maybe smaller objective and low mag. Hunter field target. something in 40mm objective with 10x mag fixed. Night vision, side focus, large objective and watch out for IR reflective lens coatings. All my opinions, so make of it what you will, I went for a Hawke sidewinder 6.5 - 20 x 42 as I wanted something OK for all round stuff and it suited my eyes better

    Why is it surprising that it doesn't come with a bottle or pump? They guy might be keeping his bottle for the other dozen pcp's he's still got. It's not being sold as a kit to get you started. It may come with an adaptor, but as it's a standard foster fitting it may not, but they are cheap enough to get. Remember bottle or pump will set you back ~£150 depending on what you get.

    It advertised as "full power" I just don't think the guy can shoot, he needs more practice. http://www.sportsguns.co.uk/bargains/rugerered-1.html

    Welcome and no, you still need permission. Also pheasants are subject to closed seasons.

    It will be near 1 mildot at 45 yards on your scope, 1.4 inches drop, not half mildot. You will have to set up chairgun with a first focal plane scope reticule rather than the hawke one you have it set to. Or set the program to the magnification where the mildots are true. 10x or 20x on the hawke depending on the one you picked. For your scope, it won't matter what mag you use as the aim points will be the same. That's kind of the point of the FFP scopes. Simon

    Before you go swapping to a new camera and trying to remove IR cut, you say the camera works off the scope in the garden with the IR light in the dark? Is it just something as simple as the IR being reflected off the moderator? To test, just take the torch off, point the rifle at an object down the garden so you can see it with the the camera. Wait until it gets dark and with the torch in your hand, point it at the object down the garden. If you get a good picture like that, then you are just seeing the IR light bouncing off the barrel or moderator. If it's still poor, it could be

    They guys in the shop in Deadington (Otmoors) would be a good first place to visit. Other than that, get yourself to a club, see what rifle you like, then go looking for it. As for the Daystate, it's going to be the best part of £1000 depending on what bits come with it.

    "Excuse me, do you know who own that field?" "Me Why?" "Well I saw some bunnies/crows/pigeons/rats on there and was wondering if you had any problem with them?" Blah blah blah.

    You could of course have turned the AO too far and broken the air seal. It probably should have stopped before that though. Hawke are great at warrenty work though.

    I've got the 6.5 - 20 x 42 half mildot sidewinder tac 30 on my Airwolf. It's lovely. I tried the MTC taipan but it just didn't suit my eyes, although I think I would have prefered the MTC SCB reticle. I will say though, the illuminated reticle started playing up pretty soon after I bought it and now green just doesn't work and red flickers. However, I've already spoken to Deben and they will take it back whenever I want and fix/replace it under warranty. Just waiting for the last shoot in the HFT season for me and I'll take it off and get it fixed. Simon

    You should take your time filling from the bottle. It sounds like the valve in you new bottle isn't a flow restricted one and has a very course thread on the valve. Be very careful. I take 40 odd seconds to fill my 400cc airwolf from 120 - 200 bar and a little bit less to fill my (200cc?) Falcon from 130 - 185; Simon

    The XS19 isn't a bad rifle, the B2 is rubbish. Yes, they can be fiddled with to get them shooting nicely, but why bother with the hassle. As said a second hand HW would be a good gun or a Hatsan 55 (or 60)

    Aligns the eye in the same place all the time. Removes glare Reduces distractions. If they were worthless, the FT guys wouldn't all have them,

    I love my airwolf, electronic switch and all. It's been faultless so far. I don't mind the bullpup design, but I don't see many people rushing to buy it at £1795 which is the cost of the gun in the photo (or close enough). Mind you I spent £1400 on the Airwolf when it was new. Oh and you can swap the side lever to to the other side easily apparently so the only thing the southpaws will have different is the position of the screen. Simon

    The combro that shado_sniper linked to is what you are after. The others wouldn't fit into your criteria of pocketable or quick to use. Although why wouldn't you be checking it so often? When I first got mine I was checking it every week, then every month and now every now and again unless I've done something to it or thinking of changing the pellets. Simon
