It will be off tomorrow Sean with one of the Mamba Lites taking it's place....................................anyone want a laser king ? Phil How much do you want for it Phil atvbmac :thumbs: I really don't know Jimmy as I know nothing about them and as I only picked up the rifle yesterday afternoon, I have not had chance to play with it properly as yet so no idea what it is like. I confess that I prefer a side focus scope not a fixed focal length although it seems fine looking out of the garden and across the fields. I was going to take it off today and pop on one of my

Si and I were chatting via PM yesterday but he was working in York today otherwise we would have met up for a coffee. The deal I got was spot on, they know how to look after a customer. I can quite understand that these don't appeal to everyone and I don't like bullpups normally but these are just different to hold and shoot for me at any rate. I had a look at the new AA bullpup in the shop (can't remember it's name) really awful thing, feels sh1t in the shoulder with lousy balance. When I get the scope tested and sorted if needed, I will do a review. Phil

Well after making me go somewhat green with envy when he posted about buying an FX Wildcat when he knew I wanted one, not a nice thing to do to mates. THEN He has the fcuking nerve to tell me that Pickering Guns, where he bought his gun from has a .22 in the shop ready to go to a new home. That really just takes the p1ss. SO What option did I have................................exactly.........................no option, a drive up to Pickering today and that bloody gun was just sat there saying ' BUY ME PHILPOT, BUY ME'...........................................well what coul

Any RFD would be able to get you one for about £35-45 each. Contact ' Browns Lock Stock & Barrel' in Sheffield as they often have s/h spare chokes kicking around. Phil

Thumb hole rules Jimmy Phil

One for sale on AGF

Got em Mark..........now something different. Phil

Taking this marking a little further, I spoke to my friend in London who has both Wildcats and Impact so he is a real fan of FX and he sent me this link which shows how to remove the scrape from the tension bar. Might need to know how to do this Si Phil

A really great photo Billy Phil

Could be sorting mine tomorrow............................... Phil

To be honest, I will be in a hotel as well more than likely. Old tarts like me have to take care of ourselves. Phil

Accupel or jsb's. Sometimes use AA. Just depends on which comes out of the box. They all work equally well Cheers Moxy

So all we need is a bit of warm weather and we are in business, combine it with the meet we all talked about earlier in the year and bingo, a weekend cracker, can't shoot for sh1t but what the hell, I will give you all something to laugh at Phil
-
The middle gun stood up at the back Moxy, Mk2 with 16'' barrel, don't know if that is yours but any idea what pellets are used in that one. My FAC .22 is also a 16'' barrel and I have not started pellet testing as yet but advised that the shorter barrel can cause issues with lighter pellets so just trying to get in some that will suit it.

Never eaten one Mark but I also believe they are very boney, I'm very happy to have a good fight and let them go for another day. With all the rain today the rivers will be murky so no good for lure fishing and I can't be arsed sitting with dead baits all day so the shooting will take first place as soon as the back lets me until the waters clear then shooting and pike fishing will be shared time for me. Phil

Must say I am eager to get out and play with the Rapid but also looking forward to the start of pike fishing. Phil

I must bear this in mind guys A bit easier today, good job as we were flooding around the house at 4.30pm and had to have the tanker to pump water away, not gone by any means but not raining at present so when the tide goes out, it will allow some of the surface water to drain off........................................fingers crossed. Getting my waders on was not easy though. Phil

When the weather gets warmer boys, I will bring the bivvy up and camp over and we can have a mates meet.......................up norf Phil

The marking on the mag is very common and whilst I can't remember what the adjustment or slight polishing is, there is an easy fix that I heard from a number of owners on AGF talk about a little while ago. I can ask Si as someone in London I know has a couple of Wildcats and an Impact. Phil
-
Right, any info.............................I have only got my hands on one for about 15mins at the Game Fair where they had a have a go type area where you could try a few rifles out and I chose the Wildcat. It is not like a bullpup with cocking lever in your ear nor does it feel strange in the shoulder as the WC while not having a super shaped comb, it feels as though it does, in fact once in the shoulder it is simply a very quick handling air rifle which shoots superbly in my opinion. As you can tell, I was very impressed and one will be living in my cabinet next year. Phil
-
Sounds like you had a good one Si and Nelly will have benefited no end by the follow up training/coaching. Phil
-
I would like to say YES I have one but sadly not YET. Get it bought matey. Phil

Thanks guys, I am a past master when it comes to back trouble and I don't think this bout is going to be be a major problem just a pain in the arse. When it was bad back in the eighties, I was off work for months until I had surgery but I know this is not going to be so bad providing I manage the situation as I have learned over the years. It is just bad timing, quite a few things to do at the moment which will have to be left in order not to push it over the edge. All four of my rifles have the scopes removed in the process of a change over and I am seriously wanting to get them all sorte
