    I would prefer a week day but not much good if you lot are going on Sat, the joy of retirement, visit places when it is quiet and quite often cheaper. Phil

    If you look at new fac airguns, they all seem to be around 30ft/lb for .22 and 40-50ft/lb for .25. Just cross checked my FX booklet 2016 while doing this which is the same as above with .177 at 18ft/lb and .30 at 75-80ft/lb Phil

    if its springers only its birds in the bag shooting springers off a bench is cheating atb si I don't think I could even hold the TX free hand long enough to aim straight................................................well that's my excuse sorted Phil

    Mitch, it might be worth checking with your perm owners to establish if they have been contacted by the police previously regarding FAC usage on their land, if they have and it was successful for the shooter at that time, keep that one at the top of your references if needed as it will show on their system and automatically pass. Just a thought. Phil

    Well let's face it we keep saying we are going to get together, might as well add some humiliation into the mix as well. Phil

    I think it was Tony I spoke to. I only applied for FAC air Mitch, not interested in live ammo for two reasons, firstly, I have a few footpaths crossing my perm which could be a nightmare when trying to get an FAC ticket and to honest now that I am a retired old pensioner keeping ammo costs down is important considering I spend enough on 12gauge cartridges already. Mark the umph this 28ft/lb hits with is amazing. With other commitments, high winds Xmas etc. I just have not been using the gun for much hunting at all but the few pigeons, crows and one rabbit shot with it just gave kill

    Well, this might be worth getting the sat nav and passport out, load my little guns and drive due north. Phil

    As you know, I dipped my foot into FAC country and the only gun that I really considered was a Rapid at 28ft/lb simply because of their reputation in FAC guns and the word of mouth seemed to guide me that way. I am far to inexperienced for my opinion to be worth a great deal in FAC but I will say my Rapid is very accurate on the pellet testing I have done. I visited ASI offices in October, and during my conversation we spoke about the FX Royal range, which, if I were to lash out on a new gun FX as a maker would have to be very seriously considered as approx +% of their guns are made for th

    FX do an adjustable set of mounts available from ASI. BKL have riser blocks and I think Sports match have adjustable mounts. Phil

    HW100KT. .177. Bisley Mags. Just have confidence in their hitting power. Rapid mk2 FAC. .22. AAField Heavy 18gr, best grouping so far and kill well. TX200HC. .177. AA Express not used for hunting so far. Wildcat .177 and .22. Undergoing pellet testing. Phil

    On testing my 28ft/lb, AA Field Heavy 18gr is giving really tight groups so I am sticking with those. Phil

    Same back at you Mark I see the old couple are coming into there own now mate and putting all the young modern ones to shame so you will be selling the trex then atvbjimmy :thumbs: No Mac, I think that I will stay as I am now, all keepers. There`s no doubt the classics really test your shooting skills and are packed with character and soul . Once mastered the FWB`s are incredibly good hunting rifles. The TX200 hc mk3 is one accurate rifle that has taken a lot of vermin from my perm`s and bomb proof ( as you know). The HW 100`s,

I still am 30 in my head, 90 when I get out of bed which in reality leaves me in the middle plus a bit. It's been a nice day with the kids around and a full Christmas dinner then just been watching the massive fireworks display across the river for Hull city of culture starting today.
