    I know where you are coming from Tim and agree, in fact I may get a .410 O/U 3'' for US skeet shooting which is brilliant fun mate but this little gun is no more than just something I fancy, nothing more with very low expectations. I certainly will not be paying much for one that is for sure and if I don't find one for less than £, I won't be getting one. At that money I can sell it, at £130ish, I will not get my money back and on a whim, I want to keep the cost down. I know a chap who is going to sell all his guns which include a .410 and 12 gauge hushpower along with various others s

    Thank you very much Jimmy, Charlie is going to be a very happy little fella. I have the fishing gear for him at the ready and now he will have a gun to boot. We will be keeping him active in the fresh air in a short while starting to learn about field sports. Cheers mate Phil

    I cannot disagree with you but it is just one of those things that keeps coming up in my head and I have a feeling that I can pot a rat or two with it. It is never likely to get much use, just an itch that I need to scratch. It will for sure be used to teach my grandson gun safety when old enough. Phil

    Depending if anyone is wanting one of these childrens guns, I would like to put my grandson's name, Charlie into the frame and although he is still too small for one, it would be lovely for him when he is old enough to use it. I do NOT want to jump in if someone has already set their hearts on one for their child / grandchild though. Phil

    Thank you for that Paul. I have had a call from a friend this morning as he knows of one close to us so I am going to follow that one up first. Phil

    Right chaps I am after a litte help and ask you to keep an eye open please when you call in your local gunship as I am on the look out for the above. It is also known as a 9mm garden gun made by Webley and Scott and very similar to look at as a bolt action .410 shotgun. It is something I have thought about every few years or so and whilst it has very limited use, great fun on rats. Sadly no longer made although 9mm brass cartridges are still easily available. Anyway, if any of you come across one of these little shotguns on your travels, I would be grateful if you could let me know.

    When they have outgrown them, you can fit the normal size stock. What a great shame there is no BSA conversion to 12ft/lb for when the kids grow. Phil

    I am pleased to hear you are not going increase the power as it will be great for a child mate. I had a look at the Ultra Junior at 6ft/lb when the BSA rep called in my RFD a few weeks ago and it got me thinking about a little gun for my grandson when he is old enough. Charlie is only 3 years old but is really desperate to shoot with his daddy and grandad. The only guns I have seen that are really suited to a small child apart from the BSA above are a bit crappy with Co2 power and it would be nice to see a few decent guns for kids without being silly money. Nice one Jimmy. Phil

    Only had one Mountmaster and to be honest didn't use it much as it was on a gun I bought but it seemed quite a nice little scope although I didn't get to a stage to know if it held zero. I was about to buy another last week to go on the Airsporter coming from Mac as I had sold the other with a gun but instead I picked up an 'as new' Hawke Vantage 3-9x40 AO scope which fits the bill very nicely. I must confess that I really only like side focus scopes but I wanted to keep the weight down on this gun so we will see how it works soon. Phil

    Well I will tell you this Jon...................................left handed, bloody good on yer mate because that is very impressive for a right handed shooter. Must have a go at that for the sheer hell of it. Phil

    B&Q have threaded bar SI and it is quite cheap, just a thought. Phil
  12. philpot
    There are also two new models out, the Streamline and another with all the tech bits including internal barrel sleeves to match to a given pellet but I'm very happy with my Wildcat and Impact. Phil

    Now there's an open ended question if ever I heard one. Hope you find something you like. (FX) Phil

    Phil also likes his Rapid .22 FAC as well Jon.....................................................come over to the dark side matey, you know it makes sense. Never mind the Chrony Si, what about that other item we talked about in Rob's shop, has he got one and are you buying it Phil

    I get some pellets and odds n sods from Uttings, superb company with brilliant communications. They are very very helpful and the ONLY large dealer I will order from. Phil

    .20 or .25 of course JOKE Phil

    Where would this forum and it's members be without our Mac ????????????????????? Well it would be a lesser place for sure and that is not being unkind to the forum or membership. Phil

    I don't know where you live, it might help if you stated that but whatever, you should be able to get an RFD within driving distance to order you the gun of your choice. I am not too wild about using one of these supermarket gunshops to supply me my guns for a couple of reasons. Firstly, if we just deal with the supermarket guys, your local RFD will have no real business left and therefore not enough profit to stay open which in turn means no local supplies of all the small stuff we buy and secondly you have no direct contact with a dealer so he doesn't know you from Adam and may not care a b

    You just wait until you shoot that air sporter Phil Nice is not the word mate atvbjimmy :thumbs: Looking forward to it Jimmy. Just bought a Hawke Vantage 3-9x40 AO scope from another forum today, should be spot on for the Airsporter matey an not too heavy. Phil

    Funny but I don't like shooting rabbits as nobody wants them, we don't eat them and I don't know anybody locally who does but I need to knock a few off to keep the farmer sweet. Give me rats or pigeons any day. Nevertheless Jon, nice shooting the first bunny of the year. That stock looks superb, beautiful shades. Phil

    It will be interesting to see if BAR are going to stock the new FX guns after the slating they gave the Impact, particularly after they voted it in the top ten guns. If I were ASI, I think I would not allow them to have the new guns. Phil

    I must admit, when I first saw the FX Streamline a few months ago on a youtube review, it looked like FX had really taken on board the fact that not everyone could afford their usual offerings and good for them. The weight and price of this gun seems to tick a lot of boxes and along with the new model that has just been launched at the recent trade show (can't remember it's name, senior moment), FX are bringing some super guns that don't look like my Impact but have just as many technical features and look like stunning wood stocked guns.

    Hmmm A thought provoking topic Rez. For me, I wanted my TX to be smoother shooting because I found it very difficult to be consistent so in that case I had two issues, firstly that I was a crap shot with an untamed springer and secondly I wanted to enjoy using the TX which I didn't before Charlie Caller did his magic. With the above in mind, I would say the man who can shoot an untuned springer with serious accuracy is a better shot than someone like me who needed the gun tuned before I was able to produce the goods.

    Right mate, I will put my thinking cap on and see what we can do. I need to have a chat with the farmer to get his ok and take it from there. It is trying to time it when there are pigeon during the day or a few rabbits at night because it is a long way to come and have little to shoot. Leave it with me Jimmy. Phil
