    I am really impressed with them Mark and the weight advantage suits me well. Phil

    I have to say again that I sometimes use a Swift Stumpy mod on my TX200HC when in the back garden and it DOES make a difference. I totally agree you cannot reduce the action noise but I swear that it helps. Just over my garden wall are horses which have got used to me shooting and do still jump a little at first when shooting the TX with a mod fitted but if I use it without the mod.................they are off on a gallop to the other side of the field. My dear wife has also said on occasions that the gun sounds loud and it is ALWAYS when I don't have the mod fitted. I am not sayin

    I bought Nath's F1 Chrony because I was not too sure on SOME of the readings I got from the combro. Now in truth I have not got round to running the pair in tandem to establish any changes and will do so using FPS then convert to FPE. As stated that there are some differences between inside and out showing on the Combro, I will make a point to do a new set of readings on the guns when time allows. One point you mentioned was that you have fitted a shroud, as a matter of interest, have you tried removing the shroud, replace the mod and test again just in case you are getting an is

    ''is it not better to let some one take over that is known to them as some one else that is not'' 100% spot on Jimmy Phil

    It does not apply to me as I have daughters who would never shoot anything that lives and my son lives in Bristol. It is a wonderful thing if a shoot could be passed on and in Ethan's case, he stands a fair chance of retaining the perms because he is known to shoot them now but I think you will have to keep pushing him in front of the land owners Jimmy in order for him to have a profile on the perm with the land owner despite that he is your grandson.

    When my son was his age 40 years ago I bought a Diana break barrel, no idea what model it was but low power and he was able to cock it. Now by today's standard and range of guns available it was not great BUT he had sooooo much pleasure with that little gun, cheap as chips and we used to shoot in the cellar of that house where we built a range, only 30' but pure fun and that to me is how you get a kid started..............................I know, times have changed, oh well that how it worked for us back in the day.

    When I went to Charlie's place last week to tune my TX, I had a hold of the Brocock pictured here, very very nice. It is longer than I am used to but spot on balance in the shoulder. It is a pity they didn't make a bigger magazine for them. Phil

    You can get them on ebay and there is a guy on AGF forum who does them although I believe he is packing it in but perhaps worth a look. Phil

    Ah, now I understand why you would want to sell the gun here. Phil

    To be honest they are far better than the Vantage that replaced them. Hawke were nuts to change them IMO. The only reason I had even thought about selling it was that I now have Mamba Lites on all the guns (4) so the Varmint, MTC Genesis and a Nikko Mountmaster are just sat there doing nothing. I am not sure if I am keeping the Ultra just yet so the Nikko can go on that if I do decide to sell it. Phil

    I have a Hawke Varmint 4-16 x 44 side focus in mint condition which I will be selling if that is of any interest and in budget. Varmint is the forerunner to Vantage PM me if you are interested. Phil

    Rez, you can borrow my TX soon as I have put the scope on and try for a week or two if it helps mate. It is the latest Mk3 HC version. Phil

    As a matter of interest, is there not a good second hand market in France for air guns where you could sell it without any messing around with FAC regulations. Phil

    Sport of kings, ratting, it just makes my envy rise when I see someone with a bit of good rat shooting. Well shot sir. Phil

    Nice shooting Si. The perms look good and just reminded me of a cracking campsite where I used to keep a caravan years ago with huge warrens and woods, think I should make a visit there. Phil

    You know you guys are right, there is a big hole at the moment made worse by the fact that this was the third cat we had to put to sleep in three years which has taken it's toll on us all BUT great memories WILL be created again when we start again. We would never be without cats but at the same time we have been toying with the idea of a dog for some time so this may well be the catalyst to rethink that a little further. The debates will then start what type of dog................black lab or lurcher perhaps and train it to the gun. We will see as time goes by Thanks guys Phil

    Thank you all for your kind words. I don't think it will be too long before we have another batch of kittens in the house to start a new set of memories whilst we cherish the past memories and perhaps a gun dog but that I will have to ponder for some time. Phil

    That reminds me.............................what has happened to the get together Si and Jimmy were looking into earlier this year...............................still got my diary and pen ready boys. Phil

    One of our members, Seamaster, had had two Compatto's, first had issues but the newer second one was a tackdriver according to Chris. He also bought an HW110 but that had to go back I think with barrel problems and I know of a couple of lads locally who have Compatto's and they love them. Phil

    I have heard that quite a few guys change the reg on R10 rifles as I am told that Huma and Airtech regs are much better although I have no knowledge myself of this fact. Phil

    Most men, particularly shooting men have a dog as their pet but I have been a cat man for about 30+ years. Now I know it is a rare thing for guys to speak about a cat but today is a very sad day for me as my wife and I had to say a very tearful goodbye to a much loved pet cat of 19 years, Sylvie was a special little friend who always made you feel much better when you were ill, made us laugh as she helped unwrap Xmas presents and always kept us company in the house or garden and kept me company in the greenhouse most sunny days. Oh yes I forgot, she used to lay on my keyboard when typing late
