zini 1,939 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Hi lads , I just thought that i would post Section 9 of my new DVD (The Vermin Sniper)to get some feed back from you on what you think and what more needs to be added to it to bring it on some. I'm reviewing my Hawke Airmax 6-18x44 AO scope with the SR12 reticule and using my scope camera to try and demonstrate how good the reticule is once calibrated with the Hawke ChairGun Pro software. The metal resettable squizzer target is set out at 20 metres to 50 metres at every 5 metre interval. The kill zone is very small with it being 13mm out to 40 metres and 20mm from 45 to 50 metres, still under a 25mm recognised kill zone. Ive added some slow motion footage to at the end at the 50 metres point . Ive only burnt this footage to IPod quality as the proper HD 10 minute clip was 1.5 GB in size but awesome quality. It required 6 hours to upload though to YouTube and I wasnt waiting 6 hours Rest assured though the finished product will be in super clear HD . Your thoughts and comments are valued. Si Here is the link to the footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRJOxlm7Fnc Edited October 12, 2010 by zini 1 Quote Link to post
redeye jedi 39 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hello Si, its looking good now mate well done if it was my vid i would add a little tip on how to focus the scope. just something i do to get my scope ranges, i focus on a single blade of grass as its about the thinest object about once you get a good picture on this you know the sight picture is almost perfect. just my opinion:thumbs: Keep up the good work mate.

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi Si. Looking good mate, nice footage. ATB. Bill Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Yes i can have a look at that Davy buddy Ill only be able to do it at x6 min though with that scope as its a 6-18x44 mate. The reason i used x14 was its what ChairGun said is the correct mag for 5 metre intervals for my rifles balistic profile with the SR12 reticule. I could use x6 mag and use my second profile and see how it looks in the future buddy Good idea mate cheers. Ive just ordered a Tench customised BSA Ultra in .177, the tactical version as i like the look of it. The rifle is being regged with the Tench regulator, giving 90 full power shots at 11.8 ft lbs with Bisley Magnums, the hammer stroke is getting shortend to speed up the lock time and aid accuracy in the long run, and the piston and trigger is being tuned and polished, he is also moving the QD swivel back 2 inches for me to correctly fit a bipod. It should be a awesome rifle and im going to fit a Hawke 4-12x50 AO IR scope on it until i get the Pulsar so i will be able to use a lower mag for scope camming too buddy. I cant wait to review it. No prizes for guessing what silencer im fitting to it Twink Mark 2. ATB Si Edited October 12, 2010 by zini Quote Link to post

If you can find time pop over mate to see me and we can have a brew and chat and try and plan something together pal. I get plenty of time off while im there so a beer shouldnt be a problem if your up for it. Have you tried the golf course at Larkhill mate? or Durrington Farm? I used to shoot there in 2005 when i was posted to Larkhill on the Gunnery careers Course. The golf course have loads of rooks and crows to shoot and the farm had plenty of rabbits. The posting for me will be to Nottingham i believe pal where im orininally from as a BOWMAN PSI for the TA Regiment there Yep resettlemant and quality time i think. First time in 20 years so im quite looking forward to it. If you pop over to West Down, ask for Si Pittaway from 3RHA (Hicon) and someone will point you in the right direction mate.
