  1. Is this what you look like Si after half a gall...................................I be tempted to go onto shorts instead matey Phil
  2. You may not be keen when you have had a go with Si's gun Jimmy but I bet you will have a different opinion of the Wildcat, it's not just another bullpup. You just wait matey. Phil
  3. To be honest John, the Bobcat just doesn't quite do for me and if I recall, quite a bit heavier than the Wildcat. Can't say exactly why but the Wildcat just doesn't feel like a bullpup when you compare to others, everything is in the right place, no cocking lever/bolt in your ear, the cheek piece/comb feels normal and in every way, the Wildcat just feels purposeful. I had seen that gun on AGF and whilst Richard got it sorted, he had loads of issues to contend with but he is an honorable sort of chap who would not sell it if it was still trouble. Phil
  4. You know when you think about it Ethan is one of the very FEW youngsters that is ever spoken about who is coming into the sport of shooting.......................now that is sad for the sport. Great to see him taking to the TX mate. Phil
  5. I wouldn't give that a second thought Jimmy, they have no appeal to me at all, done that, been there many many years ago, not for me. If the air rifle and shotty doesn't do the job, then I will leave it for someone else. An FAC air is as extreme as I want to go. Phil
  6. Let us have a look at the results
  7. Just a thought, what is the fill pressure for these guns guys Phil
  8. That looks an interesting new perm Si with a bit of all sorts there matey, well done sir. CRAP LOOKING GUN THOUGH Phil
  9. I think the FAP pellets may have to stay in the tin with a few words of wisdom, heavy pellets seem to be the order of the day then chaps. Thanks for the advice. Phil
  10. 28ft/lb but have not had it on the chrono yet, I can always tweek it a touch if need be but in truth I am very tempted to ask KevG take a look at it once I have had the time to run it a while which won't be until after I get back from Suffolk in a weeks time then off to the range for a days shooting. I'm going to try it with AA fields (because I have a tin full) and FAP to start with then start to look at others after I have a yard stick to measure by. Phil
  11. Well it has taken a long time to come through but at last my FAC ticket arrived which mean't I was able to collect the Rapid Mk2 .22 FAC which has been held for me for the past 3 or 4 months. I also got a set of Theoben scope mounts and shims, I do need some longer set screws if the shims are needed however. The stock has checkering which caught me out as I thought there was none, so I will have to think whether or not to stipple the grip and forend. The nasty varnish is deffo coming off and possibly the green stain that Nath does or just oiled, not going to jump into that
  12. Both my girls loved to come fishing with me and I loved taking them, my youngest, now 20, still enjoys a fishing session and has taken a shine to my semi auto 12gauge shotgun and has the eye for clay shooting. My son, now 44, loved the air rifle, his pride and joy was a little Diana break barrel .177 that he shot thousands of rounds in our cellar shooting range. We used to hang empty 12gauge cartridges on fishing line. Good times. Phil
  13. There are two S10's in my local RFD for a lot less than that. Nice result Jon, the JSB RS is the same pellet as Falcon Accuracy Plus. It seems the Defiant vary quite dramatically from feed back I have seen. Phil
  14. Cheaper than it should be compared to other FAC rapids I had looked at when looking for one myself and certainly less than what I paid for my Mk2. Phil
  15. I used to have a tin of Jacobean dark oak stain Si which might be worth a look if that one doesn't work out. If I still had it, I would send it up but it was colron from B&Q. Just in case mate. Phil
  16. He might if he reads this Jimmy,............might be better to remove that post mate. I don't think so Si but is so high on my radar, it's untrue mate. Phil
  17. Nice one Mark, I think there will be a few on here watching with interest to see how things progress. Phil
  18. I have to confess something here Si, I phoned ASI on Monday as we are off to Suffolk for some clay shooting and ASI is only about 8 miles away so I am off to pick up a load of info which they are putting to one side for me and with any luck to have a scan at some of the guns. Phil
  19. ^%?+*&£YTKHGFDE^%^%$£&%+_*(& Okay rant over ..................................barsteward..........................................twat.............................................fcuking envy, not a bit...............................&&^%£%^*)&&^£$£&%$$%$%W£W+_.........................................twat, bugger, already said that..................................can't think of more words...................................I give up Really pleased for you Si.............................twat, okay now done.
  20. Good on you Tom, I must admit that I wished I had my old scope, I could have sent it down but I gave it away. Phil
  21. Thank you Jon but I am going over to Charlie Caller to fit it at his place, I hope to learn a bit as he has done a number of them. Phil
  22. I have just ordered the Tinbum Pro Kit as mentioned by Jonjon, for £50, it sounds like everything is there I need. Phil
