Predator Metalmag .177
philpot replied to Jonjon79's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
The Poly are available in two lengths, perhaps the Metalmag are as well. Phil -
So what else is going in the clear out Mark. Phil

Rapid 7 Fill Valve Adapter Problem?
philpot replied to RSVNelly's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Might be worth fitting a Dr Bobs Quick Fill Nelly, I really could not be farting around taking the bottle off mine. http://www.drbobsgunbits.com/page5.html Phil -
That looks rather nice Jimmy, still can't believe you like that thumbhole stock though BUT I can see why you would like it. Phil

Nice one Si. I was in the RFD today talking about rat perms and this guy took out his phone a showed me a video of a stock yard at night. I thought it was raining until he showed the video shot through his NV..............................the yard floor was moving with thousands of eyes looking at him. He said he had three guys bringing terriers in for a few sessions because even when they used a shotty, it made little difference and of course I asked if I could have a session which might be on after the dogs have been in. It must have been a bit freeky to be there though, think I would

Yes, I saw this a little while ago, very impressive but what was the cost of such a mod............................perhaps a similar price to my Impact Phil

I bought a pair with the neoprene liner last year, expensive...................yes, worth the money......................oh yes. The best wellies I have ever had, you can walk in them all day in total comfort. Phil

I must confess that although my TX is shooting very well, I do wish I had bought the .22 version. Having shot one a few weeks ago, it seemed a little calmer to use compared to the .177. Phil

Hope she has a great day Si, my wife, Trish, it's her birthday tomorrow, just been looking at a new gun for her but think shoes will fit the bill more Anyway happy birthday to your little lady mate. Phil

More Surprises From The Super 10
philpot replied to Jonjon79's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Love that little scope Si, there is one up for sale at £160 and I am tempted for the .177 cat. Gun looks good Jon, What pellets are you using. Phil Ah, dopey sod, just noticed FTT. -
Stunning job there Nath. Could you pm me with a price to do a Rapid beech stock in that green shade you use on some guns please mate. Phil
-
Tim, you should set up a tuning service matey because you certainly know what and how to do these things. By the way my TX is soooooo accurate since your tune up, it is superb. Phil

Welcome back Nelly Welly, all water under the bridge mate. Phil

Very nice indeed, just sold mine, they almost make it too easy. JSB Heavy and Bis Mags gave the best results in my gun. Enjoy Phil

I have come back to airguns for a different reason. When I retired three years ago, I soon became well aware that my clay shooting was going to have to reduce as I couldn't simply continue at that expense level any more which made me start thinking about other types of shooting. I saw a few air rifles in the RFD and liked the look so did the research as the BSA Meteor rifles of yester year had changed somewhat and so the saga began. It was the thought of shooting in the garden every day and spending very little money .....................................................well that aspect has

Both companies have good web sites with costing shown for a number of items and services BUT you will have a wait, XTX has a booking calendar and tuning bookings are 1 week. Airtech will have your guns a while and both companies have a really good reputation. If you were fitting the reg yourself, kit cost about £105. I wish you phoned me first because we could have found a newer version but it depends how much you paid I guess. Phil

To be honest, I wouldn't bother trying to work it out, just take it that a 4lt bottle will give you quite a few fills and lasting a few months. The main points are :- fill as often as you need only takes seconds to fill no effort involved carry a bottle easily in the car be totally independant for top-ups have an adaptor to fill a number of guns. (for when you buy number 2 & 3 guns) Phil

So you got sorted Luke, what happened to the TX you were considering. Phil

For Sale Home Built Digital Night Vision Pistol Grip Spotters
philpot replied to some bloke's topic in Optics and Night Vision
A good range there, are you intending to produce a spotter with a range finder built in, a tall order I know but that is what I would ideally want. Best regards Phil -
I think Lloyd at BAR also caters for the carbine as well Nelly. There is also a bottle conversion to replace the normal air cylinder to give BIG shot count. Phil
-
I had some in my HW 100 .177, seriously bad but then again so were AA Fields, crazy because fields work in everyone's HW except mine. Oh well. Phil
-
It will be a combination of all things Rez, my friend in London uses his almost daily for hunting and has no problem and I am so careful with all my shooting and fishing gear, you would think it just came out of the showroom, pride of ownership I guess, when I pay my dosh, I like to keep it in as perfect order as I can. I have only played a little with the power adjustment so far but it allows you to tune power to a pellet. For example, I only had a tin of JSB Kings available so tried on full power with a group of about 20mm then dropped to min power which produced a group of around 7mm. Y

Yes it is a telescopic shroud and it certainly works but bear in mind that I am awaiting my variation ticket so only shot it in the range which is obviously louder than when used outside although you can fit a mod if required. I have asked for the gun and mod on the variation request so it covers all situations if required. Phil

As most of you know, I bought into FAC air last year and became quite hooked along with a switch to FX Wildcats for their lightweight handling and have been toying with going for an FAC version for a little while. The only problem was the lack of them around to try out BUT whilst the wildcat is a gun I really enjoy using, it's bigger brother the Impact has had me very curious. It is quite strange how these guns have grabbed my attention as I am not into military style guns at all but there is something with the Impact that I like even though it is an ugly bugger. Well the opportunity prese
