    Thanks Sean, but I am wanting the Lite version 3-12x44 as I want to keep the weight down where I can. I have an MTC Genesis 5-20x50 which is superb and to be honest not sure what to do with that one. I bought a Lite last week to go on my Ultra which I am really pleased with so my thought was to move in this direction for other guns as well. I popped on my NiteSite Viper this morning to check fit due to the Lite having a chunky recticle focus wheel and not only does it fit very well but I get a far better image than any other scope. Thank you for the thought Sean. Phil

    Matt Manning in one of his 'The Airgun Show' videos was showing him shoot quite a few pure white pigeons that were living in one of his farmyard perm barns so I am assuming that as they have become feral, you can shoot them as vermin. Phil

    Does anyone know of a Mamba Lite 3-12x44 in any RFD new or s/h. I know they are no longer available from MTC but after just missing another on ebay earlier tonight, I am searching the net but nothing jumping out as yet. If you see one or have one to sell, please PM me. Phil

    I have been doing a little research into this subject for my Ultra and the word amongst people in the know is that XTX huma reg is about as good as it gets. I know Airtech regs are spot on as well but Carl is going away to China on family matters so perhaps not so straight forward. Cloverleaf on AGF is actually fitting a Huma reg on his AA rifle which might give you a bit more insight and XTX has full instructions on how to fit that a few guys have said are very good. Phil

I will send you a PM Charlie with my mobile number and if you let me have yours, we can arrange something.

    Phil if you really wanted to try with the tx after giving it a tune, send it me and I will do it for you free of charge, I personally dont like the slow firing cycle on the new tx its a little slow for me, I prefer a quicker lock time, I would think you would much prefer it with a TBT short stroke kit installed, there really is not a huge amount to do to improve the internals of a tx the piston runs on synthetic bearings, however, a good spring ends polish,and a proper re-lube combined with the short stroke kit changes the feel quite a bit, anyway the offer is there mate. That is a very k

    No not given up yet Jimmy, not in love with it but more than that just having a laugh. I do think I made a mistake buying a springer to be honest, I am just not having a 'bond' with the gun and would never take it hunting. It is a challenge on the range and that is all it would ever get used for. When it was first delivered and I opened the box to see this super dark lump of wood which as already said on another post, really p1ssed me off after seeing and testing a lighter wood TX, as all the demo guns were that I saw. I couldn't walk away from it as it was ordered in for me, had I seen it

    This may have been done but if not it would be my first course of action. Forget zero at the moment We need to establish if you, the scope or the gun is playing tricks here. Due to it being a springer, you cannot completely lock the gun in a fixed position but we can still go some length to test out where a possible fault lay. Mark a 5mm spot on plain sheet of paper and at 20mts with the cross hairs on the spot, shoot about 10 pellets at that spot. What we are looking for is to see if the gun is shooting a good group with scope and gun set up as it is. You will need to support the

    You know what Si, I can see totally where you are coming from and seriously wished I had gone down that route instead of an under lever, ah well, good for you matey, enjoy. Phil

    Can't believe how light the stock is after a wash Jimmy. Well I'm off to Suffolk again next week but I might try this when I get back, it might even make me start to love her a bit......................perhaps. Phil
  13. philpot
    That will be because they ARE the same pellet as Bis magnums, H&N make em for Bisley, give the extreme's a go too, bloody deadly in my .177 Brocock. Not the same pellet, they have a hollow domed head. Phil
  14. philpot
    It is quite strange with these stocks, all the demo guns at the fairs have a superb light walnut and then when they come, they are all bloody dark. I know you told me what to do Jimmy in order to make it lighter but I'm just not in love with it..................................fcuking springers...........................bahumbug. Phil

    Yes the link is on but not a photo just the link. I use photobucket from the phone very rarely but it can be done. I have PB on both the computer and phone, quite often taking photo's on the phone and installing them to PB actually on the phone then download to the forum if needed. Once you get used to it, very easy and quick to use and you finish up with an actual photo rather than a link such as Phil

    Why don't you try using photobucket, it's free, easy to use and works on every forum that I have been involved in. Phil

    The tune was well worth it Mark, good on yer mate. Phil

    Let's face it boys, the rabbits were a bonus, you had a good crack I am betting. Great company and a few bunnies, NICE. Phil

    Do you have an A&M cylinder as well Jon by any chance, already missed the HW cocking lever by being a twat so if you have one, I will jump in before you put it up for sale Phil
  21. philpot
    Oh my god, that is pretty bad..........................yep, I think you need another scope. Phil

    A while ago I did a load of pellet tests with my HW100, one of the pellets was H&N Baracuda Hunter (not the extreme) and at 25mt, they were very accurate, very small groups. Not the cheapest pellet but I am guessing they will have a fair old thump, I say guessing because I had completely forgotten that I had them....................until now, so I have just put the tin in my bag for the next time out. If I recall, they were the same zero as Bis Mags so shouldn't have to fanny around. Phil

    If you set the scope, most scopes to zero at a given mag setting, get it shooting spot on, then change mag, the zero will also change. If you put it back to the original mag, I assume the zero is spot on again or is that not the case. I have two sets of zero settings, one at 6x and one at 12x on my MTC Genesis scope. I just did a set for 12x if I was struggling to see. To be very honest I have never used the 12x (eyes must be better than I thought) and only did this as I remember when I first started learning holdover principles, it was stated that zero WILL move with different mags and I

    Are you thinking of buying it Jimmy Just been looking at some s/h landies, my god I had no idea they were so expensive. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/land-rover/defender-90?atcidk=knc-car-mckv!sbZ2GzoVi_dc!pcrid!!plid!!kword!_inurl%3Aused-cars%2Fland-rover!&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnKzABRDy2pb7nPSazdsBEiQAI4lZQE3y-b57kw7h8IUFQOIoN3nlVQcdgHvoSY4jiJmh5vQaAtRd8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CIaFntDY7s8CFXat7QodrEgGOg Phil

    That is interesting, I have no knowledge on this aspect as I only picked it up last week and been plinking in the garden so not enough time spent using it. There are a hell of lot of them around and not heard of this issue before so from my point, only time will tell but in truth it isn't likely to get much use to be honest although it may go on my TX for a while.
