    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

    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

    Sounds like they are worth trying in my .22 and .25 FAC Tim. Phil

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Take no notice of Mark, he is a bit old fashioned, it's an age thing Jim. Love yer really Mark Phil

    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

    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
  23. philpot
    well it won't be the same as I have just bought but I think it could be a Raider 14........... Phil

    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

    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
