  1. We are not going David, we are waiting until you are better and meeting up at the Northern show mate so make sure you are well................... Phil
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Sounds like they are worth trying in my .22 and .25 FAC Tim. Phil
  9. Just to let you guys know that the scope arrived today and my thanks to JJ for this. It is now sat on my son in law's rifle and suits him well. It also means the scope I loaned him is back withh me to go on one of the rifles I am selling. Thanks again mate. Phil
  10. Well done............Jimmy comes to the aid of another member and just highlights why this membership is really just a bunch of mates helping eachother. Phil
  11. I am deffo going to Harrogate, went last year and enjoyed it so won't be missing out on that one. I am getting tickets this week but have not seen what they are doing for airguns this year and some good shotty gear there as well. Phil
  12. How about a meet at the Northern Shooting Show in May, David might be feeling much better by then and it's nearer, Harrogate area. Phil
  13. You should have popped round to ASI as they are not far away from you, I bet they could have arranged something for you. Phil
  14. Saturday Phil as me and viz are working Friday mate The rifle defo has a DS look about it and is one of the longest rifles iv seen when the mod is fitted to her could do with a stumpy mod to be honest atvbjimmy :thumbs: I have a Swift Stumpy mod Jimmy, they are not bad at all but not quite as quiet as an HW mod but perfect when you need to keep both weight and length at a minimum. I will let you know if I decide to go to the show, just not sure as yet mate. Phil
  15. Nice one JJ and nice one Mark......... I must admit to looking at a pistol in the gunship the other day for a few minutes longer than I should have, oh god, I'm thinking again.........dangerous. Phil
  16. Take no notice of Mark, he is a bit old fashioned, it's an age thing Jim. Love yer really Mark Phil
  17. Just thinking, next weekend is the Shooting Show where it is likely that you could try both guns out and although a drive from you, cheaper than buying the wrong one. Phil
  18. I must say Jimmy, it does have a DS look about it, very very nice mate. A little too long for me but lovely stock lines. I will have a look at them at the show if they are there. By the way what day are you going to Stoneleigh. Phil
  19. well it won't be the same as I have just bought but I think it could be a Raider 14........... Phil
  20. Just priced some JSB King Heavy .25, £6 a tin cheaper than two prices quoted by shops today. I had some RS pellets a couple of weeks ago and JSB labels were replaced with voymir labels so no chance of batch numbers, first time though. Phil
  21. welcome aboard Jim. An interesting question and one I can relate to. I made a decision to go lighter weight on my rifles as I found most of the guns I have are on the heavy side and I have two Wildcats which I find to be light to carry and a pleasure to shoot. I did have a look at the Gallahad but I must say that I put it back again quite quickly. We all like different things and guns are no different but for me, this gun was heavy in comparision to the Wildcat and no regulator unless I paid more so to me, heavy, expensive, poor feel. Just my own thoughts so do try to have a go wit
  22. I am going to the Northern Shooting Show in Harrogate in May instead of this one, it was really good last year and cheaper. Phil
  23. Not the same pellet, JSB Exact are the same as AA Fields although AA are produced by JSB but in the own moulds. Phil
  24. Have you tried the FX pellets yet and if so, have they made any difference. Phil
  25. I know what you mean there jjm, I have my optic wound right out to get it sharp but it is surprising how well I can see the recticle and anything else is just too thick for me now. Strange how well you get used to something. Phil
