villaman 9,982 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Two rabbits I shot last night went up to the butchers ,which has been taken over , so I thought I would interduce my self and say I used to supply rabbits to the previous owners . Out of the blue he turned around and said " I have two acre field with loads of rabbits on if you would like to shoot on that ,only if its not to small for you " automatically my mouth opened and said I only shoot air rifles sub 12 and FAC , great was the reply Result going on Wednesday night weather permitting 8 Quote Link to post

ASI told me my .22 slug liner should be here in two weeks time , but I wont hold my breath its sound, got to check zero when you set up though! 100 yards off the knee is easily doable bagged a fair bit with it I found some slug liners in holland but they were the wrong length have you seen how much the neelson slugs cost 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yes Si ,bloody expensive works out about £115- £120 for 500 but they seem to be the only place in Europe to have them . I would buy a liner from them but they haven't got any at the moment Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have emailed JSB to see if they will be producing's slugs ,had a reply saying the are looking into it 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 5,100 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 What differences have you found Si with the 700mm barrel compared to the standard. I think I perhaps it is time to look at the newer improvements available for the Impact along with a FFP scope which I will be doing at the Northern Shooting Show but all this will be wasted if I am still struggling with my eye. I am booked in at the end of March for my cataracts so hoping my aim improves then........... Phil Quote Link to post

I really rate these scopes Yes, I phoned them on Friday but they are now not so sure they will be at the show so I am going to get in touch with SureShot as they are a dealer and taking a stand at the show. MTC have their new FFP scope out as well, I think it is the cobra F1 but they prone to white out on other models so will this new one be the same. Dealers for Discovery are bloody miles from me, Cleveland and Birmingham so 2hrs minimum. I said the the chap that they need dealers in Yorks, Notts, Lincs but I don't think he could be bothered to chase new business. The scopes might be good but he didn't impress me.

Phil not sure if the barrels any better than a 600 Phil mine was choked to death and wouldn't really group at 100, this new ones spot on! shot a pigeon couple of weeks back at a right distance and I physically saw it hit mm perfect... couldn't believe it Quote Link to post
