    Must admit Jimmy, I don't use any kind of clamp, I just use the 'V' rest that it comes with as I don't feel the gun when it is in a clamp then it works for me. Phil

    That makes more sense after all why would you have different reg for each model, oh well the wait will be over next week all being well and testing will start on the new Crown.
  5. philpot
    I wouldn't know Mitch, this is what Sportsman told my friend but they did say there were issues with the Impact reg, not FX regs but naming the models so perhaps in sub 12 could be different but who knows. I just hope the Crown is not another crock of shit as well as this is having a major impact to his mind set.

    Over the years I have enjoyed both my fac air rifles along with my .22lr, wmr and hmr but I am having a few thoughts recently about where my love lies. If I am completely honest, my 'go to' gun is the fac air and I really miss my .25 fac air soooooo I am now toying with moving on my Tikka .22lr and my Sako hmr and spare wmr barrel plus their respective Wildcat sound mods but my old head is in a bit of a spin as I am not too sure what to do. I am an FX rifle fan / user but the cost of buying another .25 FX to go with my .22 FX Wildcat does not come easily on a pension and selling them would g

    I cannot believe I am following this thread up with more bad news. After setting the new gun zero at 25mt, and taking my pal to go for a few ferals which he did well and built his confidence up after all the issues, today was the first day he has had free so off to one of our perms to work on holdover positions BUT checking zero at 25mt, the pellet was not even on the paper and in fact it was shooting approx 6'' low and to the left. My pal thought he must have nudged the scope either putting it in it's case or taking it out so time to set zero again.................................. not possi

    A moderator on what Darren. Mark was doing a full tune on P15 / P35 for around £130 including fitting one of his shrouds which is what he quoted me but I didn't us the gun outside of my garden so I didn't bother, use the FX for most of my hunting but his reputation is really good. Phil

    I think the upgrade brought some little annoying downsides but with any luck, Ian has sorted it. Phil

    I find they work well so give them a chance big fella. Forget the old addage about old dogs and new tricks, sometimes we have to try new stuff as well Jimmy. Phil

    I had the HC and as a couple of our members on here may recall how badly I shot with it, that is until another of our members tuned the gun and fitted a Tinbum kit after which it was bloody amazing, absolutely pellet pn pellet which pleased me no end but sadly I found it just to heavy to carry around so sold it. What a mistake to make, I wish I had kept it. Phil

    If there was another way to buy some of the guns and gear, we would but they now have so many brands, it is very difficult not to deal with them. I am just pleased for my friend now all is good and as an afternote he bagged 2 ferals, 3 woodies and 3 crows on the first time out and only out for an hour before the activity dried up so he is a happy chappy.

    The final chapter :- Two new Impact Mk3 guns arrived today at the rfd, both were checked for power through the chrono, 11.5 average. 200 JSb pellets and my good friend is over the moon with pellet on pellet grouping...........................................thank fcuk for that so on the ferals tonight.

    The final outcome. Sportsman could find no fault then after a further chat with my pal, they went back into their test range and the gun was producing a shotgun pattern. They changed every part they could but nothing stopped the issue to the point that FX told the Sportsman to scrap that gun. Two new guns are being sent to the rfd next week and my pal is to pick one of them. I have to say that the rfd has not done a good job in terms of reporting the issues as Sportsman tech team were unaware of some of the problems. With a bit of luck, this should be an end to this on going saga w

    Ah, I didn't know that, I thought it was normal power, pretty stupid is that if the idea was to let them grow into a full size stock but only half the power. I am sure when I chatted with the BSA rep in my rfd, he never said they were reduced power, I bet they dont sell many in that case. Phil
  22. philpot
    They do make the Ultra in a junior version as well, a normal size stock can be bought when needed.

    Love shooting ferals and so it seems does your grandson who appears to be holding on to your hw rather tightly me thinks NP. ? I picked up a couple of pigeon deeks which have been painted with more white areas just like ferals often are and with a telescopic pole and tree hangers for lofting deeks, we can just reach some of the barn gutters, they really work well. going to try it with crows next time as we get plenty of the buggers which clear off after one shot so perhps it may help, we will see.

    In what way if it's pellet on pellet Billy.

    As fans of FX Guns there is no alternative to Sportsman, ASI the previous importer were excellent in their after sales service but this lot can simply afford to give big orders to manufacturers like FX, CZ, ATA, Pard and others more is the pity....... Phil
