    Just opened a few parcels that have been delivered today, one of them is the Mamba Lite scope I bought on flebay Sunday night. On first viewing, very impressed with both the glass and the weight. Never had the Christmas tree recticle before but I am sure I will get used to it. A change round of scopes tonight/tomorrow morning, Mamba Lite onto the Ultra, the Nikko Mountmaster onto the TX and the Varmint from the TX is already off and possibly fit to the Rapid when I get it. I have some serious thinking to do regarding rifle line up after I get into the Rapid because it is likely that m

    Cheers Rez, that will be good mate. Phil

    Ah well, enjoy the biking before it gets too cold. Phil

    If you make the holes bigger, don't go right through so the mag can't be pushed all the way through. It would look and work much better. Phil

    Completely agree but not sure what the score would be with old charlie. To be honest though, I think it would be as rare as hens teeth that I would get close enough to even consider a shot, it is more theory than any intention. Phil

    Well I will get some in .22 when I have the gun to try out, it may be quite interesting. Phil

    Has anybody got a BSA .177 new type (plastic) mag that they would like to sell, thought it worth asking before buying a new one. Are the older metal ones worth bothering with. Phil

    Forgive me but surely the hard point of those pellets is going to aid the pellet go straight through more easily rather than cause more damage once in the target which seems to go against the principle of pellet damage. I do wonder if they would stop a fox with a head shot from my soon to be FAC rapid..................hmmmm Phil

    A little ahead of myself here but my FAC ticket is due in the next couple of weeks if there are no delays which means I can go and collect my Rapid Mk2 fac .22. Now a thought just crossed my mind, the BSA bottle is aluminium, what is the Rapid bottle made of, if steel, do any of you Rapid boys fit an aluminium bottle to keep weight down at the front or is it not available or needed. Would an R10 bottle fit if needed. Just curious and the mind is thinking more and more about this gun or at least getting hold of it. Phil

    They are a lovely looking rifle Jon, it is a wonder they don't produce one in subdued colours or plain wood. A friend of mine in Suffolk has just bought a Hatsan semi auto shotgun in PINK camo for pigeon shooting over decoys.................................WHAT. Well she and her partner do a great deal of shooting so I was surprised at her buying this colour but she said it worked a treat and far more effective than black barrels without any birds jinking away when they saw the gun so perhaps if the shape is broken down, that could be more important. I think I will reserve judgement o

    To be honest, I wanted a Viper Connect but no good for NV add-on and this is lighter, if it anywhere near as good as my Genesis, it will be spot on and just about right for the Ultra..............................or perhaps the Wildcat, when I get one. Phil

    No longer looking for a Mamba Lite...................................just bought one on ebay Yeeeehaaa Phil

    There was a BSA scope on the Ultra I just bought which IMO was not good by any means so took into the RFD to see what he had and sat on the counter was a s/h Nikko Mountmaster AO, a quick chat and a straight swap. Now I hear a lot of bad reports about this scope and have to say that it is nothing more than a stop gap until I have decided what to do with the rifles........................it is not bad at all, okay the outer edge definition of the lens is soft compared to my Hawke Varmint and MTC Genesis but quite usable and the cross hair is not too thick either so I might even keep it and put

    Have you tried the polymag short Jon, they cycle in most mags. Phil

    A bit late but why not get a quick fill cylinder second hand, a lot less messing around. Which model HW100 have you bought, standard or carbine (SK or TK) version. Phil

    I find most AA guns have a similar cocking issue, I don't think it is a problem just the design. I picked a 410 for my son in law which was the same and was advised by the RFD that with AA bolt action guns you should use your thumb to centralize the bolt when pulling it back which does seem to work.

    I agree, it is worth pushing him on price because he might think the stock appearance is cool but should you decide to sell it at some point, those holes/carving WILL knock the price down. Phil

    Am I right in thinking that the WTC and other simmons scopes are not available with mil dots. Phil

    You were using a springer at 70yds...................................accurate at 70yds.........................................you must be quite a shot my friend. Phil

    I use a pair of cheap Thinsulate gloves over shooting gloves so I can keep taking the over gloves off when my hands get warmer. Just bought some MacWets because they do help keep the heat in as well as work well in the rain. As an option, buy two pairs of thinsulates and cut the index finger off or slit it, so cheap and such great heat keepers. I bought a couple of pairs Hot Socks 3 years ago and they work really well, also sell as Heat Holders, same product, worn with a normal pair of everyday socks underneath, all day comfort and I can stand hours in the water fishing with these under my

    Now I am a plonker when it comes to striping down guns to do mods as Chris (seamaster) will confirm, thank you Chris for your help with the bits on the Ultra, however, this is not something to just take back for a refund my friend, it is a classic and a few quid and some outside help if needed would be very worthwhile because these things are going to become more and more hard come by BUT YOU WILL OWN A CLASSIC while others will not.
