    I now need to start looking for a nice little scope. I would love to put something in keeping with her age but in truth my eyes are not good enough to shoot with any scope that doesn't have 'AO' otherwise I cant see fine detail so I will pop into the RFD tomorrow and see what he has in the s/h cabinet. I wish I had still got my little Leapers Bug Buster scope, that would have been ideal. Phil

    I am really so very very grateful Jimmy, you keep showing us all just how generous you are mate and to be very honest this is another example of what makes this forum different to any other, it is not a forum, it is an extended family. I will accept you generous gift Jimmy and say from the outset this gun is the gun I could not afford as a lad but always wanted so it will be cherished mate, always. Thank you so much old friend. Best regards Phil

    EEEEEEEERRRRRRR I don't know what to say ..................................................... my god Jimmy, I had no idea you mean't this gun. You can't do this buddy, I know you wanted it yourself mate, that is just not right. This is kindness beyond kindness matey, I am really lost for words and also very guilty as I KNOW you wanted it mate. We gotta talk Jimmy. Phil

    There is just something about the AA 400/410 series of guns that I just do not like. I must be one of the few people in the country that doesn't like them, so the answer is simple for me FX WILDCAT...........................................................okay, out of the two a 100 every day of the week.

    Good to see this and what a pleasant change from the TV or computer games, actually learning something and enjoying the process. A credit to you Jimmy. Phil

    That's a bugger Mark but at least you have some good spots for your hides mate from what I have seen on your photo's. Phil

    Have a great day boys. I have been busy getting my RIB (boat) ready for a guy to buy it today, the twat text a message last night saying that he changed his mind, Oh well I will just keep swearing under my breath............................................................ Phil

    I got to say Ethan, that looks far better than two that are in my RFD at the minute. Very well done indeed young man. Phil

    You would think so Stealthy but surprisingly not. Same price as the garden centre. I think I am going to get the largest one to try on one of my perms. Phil

    Trish and myself have been out to the garden centre to get a few bits for the greenhouse and whilst having a look at all the bits and pieces I don't really need, I came upon an instant trellis complete with leaf creeper covering the entire trellis. Okay so there are loads of hide materials out there and I know Mark is always busy making natural hides on his perm but for me, I don't really have much to make a permanent hide, this however could be cut in half, tied or clipped together in order to produce a 'V' shape hide left out to become a bit weather beaten and let the weeds grow up and a

    If it is any guide Rez, in .177 both long and short fit in the HW mag with no issues regarding indexing. The long only just fitted the mag.The short however produced better groups though. Phil

    Si, What is the 'Tiny Tim' connection above your avatar. The only one I remember was a bloke who sang in a high pitched voice and had very long hair. Phil

    I tend to pass them on to a pal for melting down into fishing weights which reminds me, he owes me some. Phil

    Right Jimmy, I understand now mate. I was going to say that I would be up for buying one of these guns if available but I just didn't quite realize what the project was. I must have missed some detail in an earlier post / thread. Just me being a dim twat as per usual. Phil

    You have a wonderful collection there John and a Sheffielder to boot, good man. Phil

    Are some of these rifles that you are revamping Jimmy for sale or have I misunderstood. Phil

    Happy birthday and enjoy. Very similar to the BSA Ultra XL Phil

    The new FX is sooooooooooo sweet, really really lovely. I can see a space for one in the cabinet but not for a while though. Phil

    Just back from the RFD's and guess what he has on the shelf, not one but two very nice Airsporters in .22 but £300 each which is more than I expected to pay so I didn't but picked them up and an HW35e just to get a feel of them. The old brain box is slowly ticking chaps. Next time I go over there I am going to pop a scope on one of them and the HW35 but a Mamba Lite is not right if you know what I mean. I do have a Vantage non AO but can't focus to fcuking target, pity it is brand new. A vintage section sounds good but I don't have anyone close to share that aspect of shooting with but the

    Very nice Jimmy. The Airsporter is a gun I always wanted when I was a lad but too expensive. They still look just as elegant as they did all those years ago. Phil

    Well impressed with that Mitch. I need to route under some stuff in the garage for my grinder, same as the one in the vid. Phil

    The TX is superb and that has no bearing on my thoughts to go for a break barrel, it is simply the weight. Sitting in a hide with the gun on Primos plus top arm Mark is fine but that is not so much of what I do mate and that gun is seriously heavy to walk around with. Mitch, I have not thought about a price yet mate as I have not reached that point in my head yet. I will let you know when I get there. Phil

    Now you got me thinking Tim...........................................anyone want an immaculate walnut, tuned TX in .177. Phil
