  1. I now have a bit of a dilemma Si, Wildcat .22 FAC or stick with the original idea of Impact .22 FAC. Impact:- higher shot count, 18 shot magazine, variable power (limited use but could be handy) and very good sliding shroud to quieten it down (fantastic on 12ft/lb), spare carbon air cylinders available if required, .25 barrel available to swap with if the desire was there. Wildcat:- lighter, cheaper mags but only 8 shot.............................................................................................................................hmmmm, Impact me thinks. Phil
  2. I bet you can't wait matey. Enjoy it Jimmy. Phil
  3. I didn't hear anything else from him Si but I think the issue with adjustment is understandable and I am fine with that plus I now know how to tweek the trigger myself so all is good. It was not until I bought a JSB test tub with the various pellet types in that it really came home that this gun prefers the lighter pellet with both the RS and Express giving the best results. I also bought a tin of JSB heavy to try in the FAC because the 18gr AA Field Heavy is a bitch to get hold of so sticking with JSB and can order from Voymir at much better prices than the shops.

  4. Bloackpool airguns are shipping um. Hmmm, I wonder for how long now, after he has pissed off FX after dropping the Impact with their 90% returns bullsh1t.
  5. I have just bought a test tin of these in .177 and .22 getting 30 of each sample. Well worth a try in my opinion. http://voymir.com/jsb-177/291-jsb-diabolo-exact-test-airgun-pellets-cal-177-7-x-50pcs-5906554324010.html Phil
  6. Just come back after a bloody cold one hour session at each farm, altogether about 25 scaley tails but as you said Si they always seem to land in some foul sh1te and despite having a litter picker, I would still get covered in smelly stuff so they can stay where they are. Here are the pick up from the first farm. This is the first time out with .22, JSB Exact Jumbo RS pellets, 13.4gr, in the Wildcat and have to say they really work well giving the best groups this gun has produced, I am well pleased with their performance so far. Phil
  7. Daystate and their limited editions...........................................it is just taking the piss and charging silly money for some reworked slow selling gun. Phil
  8. I do actually like it but wonder what the balance will be like with the air cylinder being so long. When I first saw this last year on some youtube launch, it was going to be a very keen price, has it been launched here yet. Phil
  9. This is on my list to check out at the Northern Shooting Show in May....... Phil
  10. Jimmy my friend, I am so pleased to hear this mate, it must be a serious weight off your shoulders. If I am lucky enough to win the lotto, you will have a bungalow mate. This is a good start to the year. Phil
  11. Yet again, one of the members on this site comes up trumps, nice one Tim. Phil
  12. Might be worth looking on here to see if there is anything else nearer to you, I have a feeling there is a good one at Hodnet but you can look it up. http://www.shootingclubdirectory.com/midlands/ Phil
  13. Who sells a reflex mod, I would like to try one on my Rapid FAC although a second FAC is one the cards which is super quiet so perhaps not so important when I think about it. Phil
  14. Hey Mitch, where the fcuk did you get a photo of me at leisure.............barsteward. Phil
  15. For many years, I have used Sundridge Sleep Skin thermal micro fleece suit. These suits are very light, fully flexible and non sweating. I have worn this under a drysuit in the harshest winter kayak fishing as well as sat on a freezing cold bank after pike, they are just fantastic. I now wear this under my cammo lightweight Deerhunter two piece suit, toastie warm. Phil
  16. I had hold of one a few weeks ago, I though them to be quite heavy and just did not feel right but that is only my first impression. I read on another forum of some guys testing them at a shooting show and said despite the fact they were not so keen on the looks, they shot very well. Just seem very bulky compared to the Wildcat. Phil
  17. Airgun Shooter but as soon as the 12 month prepaid is over, I won't bother with any..........................what goes around comes around, again and again. Phil
  18. What they don't say is if you have to go back to the original zero setting or if it calculates from the last known setting. Phil
  19. Thanks Mitch, a very useful site now stored in my computer. Phil
  20. A lovely stock and no mistake, beautiful flowing lines, me likey lots. Phil
  21. Well never mind being out of practice, just go and enjoy, the HW will do it's job. Phil
  22. You are very lucky indeed to have both Jimmy and Sean as friends for help and advice along with the odd trip out hunting. Very few people have that so early in the sport if ever so something to be cherished mate. Phil
