  1. I am a few years older than some or most of you ......okay quite a few years older alright.....and when I was a kid we all wanted a gun of some sort which usually started with a pea shooter or catapult or spud gun but whichever we progressed to AIR GUNS, in my case a GAT pistol then the Meteor etc etc but now kids don't want to be in fresh air, climbing trees and shooting, well almost anything, they like to be curled up in a comfortable chair texting whilst playing electronic games..................sad, fcuking sad in my book. Phil
  2. Flambeau make hard cases for rifle ans scope, worth a phone call. http://www.uttings.co.uk/c540-gun-slips-and-hard-cases/brand=flambeau/ Phil
  3. Nice one, love the thumb hole stock on mine...................................Mac loves them too.......................wait for it, where's my helmet. Phil
  4. Sorry, I was thinking of fbs but I was just about right at that distance for fbs Phil
  5. It is a super flat finish Nath. is it sprayed on paint. Phil
  6. I seem to remember that I read it was 6-7fps at 45mt but probably wrong, I usually am Phil
  7. I have two friends who use them and love em to bits. If I am honest, the real advantage for me is the weight reduction carrying it around and freehand shooting, I am getting a old tart but can't really see me moving on the HW, far to good. Sorry Sean, highjacked your thread a bit there so I have done mate. Phil
  8. Sounds like a GREAT plan. Incidently Si, why has the greenhouse been buried underground, most people including me find they work much better on top of the soil mate, then you wouldn't need to dig it out. Phil
  9. Changing the subject slightly, if I were not going on holiday in a weeks time, I would have been VERY VERY TEMPTED to buy a cracking Wildcat with a walnut stock today but I am being a good boy..........................for now. Not selling the HW100 though. Phil
  10. That is good to hear Sean, could there be a wind of change, lets hope so, not just for you but everyone else. Phil
  11. Well done you, a golf course, that must be rabbit heaven, fresh short grass, it doesn't get much better but rats, now that I am really jealous about. I really want a ratting perm. Phil
  12. You could always buy a set of adjustable mounts, then just crank em up for new zero. Seen it on youtube.......................looks very fiddly to me but who knows. Phil
  13. Cheers Si, I will have a play with that Phil
  14. Well done Si and good to see the new lady is working for you mate, you could have frozen a rabbit to use as corvid bait, works a treat. Right now the bit I am interested in, that gizmo on the phone, is it Chairgun app or something, I am crap with these bloody phones other than talking but this looks interesting. Phil
  15. Your photo's get more and more impressive Billy, not that I am jealous in any way you understand.......................... Phil
  16. I would save the time and paper Simon, do you really think TB doesn't already know !!!!!! Ostrich and sand spring to mind if you follow my drift. Phil
  17. http://www.urbanfieldsportsman.com/index.php/shin-sung-career-707-22-carbine-pcp/ It does remind me of another gun but I am buggered if I can remember which. Phil
  18. The link opens fine for me. Interesting topic because I find my TX too light but not happy about adjusting it, out of my comfort zone.... Phil
  19. Carl, even though I have not used your services, your reputation here and on other sites is second to none and it will be only a matter of time before I do make the call to you. I know some people are not very good at keeping in touch which in turn p1sses people off who are waiting because they are looking forward to getting their guns back after the upgrades but it is good to see you admit that aspect of your work is not your best forte but I have never heard anyone say even the slightest bad thing about the workmanship. I was sorry to hear of the death in your wife's family a little whil
  20. £4 difference between the tins, are the 5.51 an old tin. The 5.52 seem to do the trick mate, melt the others down for fishing leads. Phil
  21. Sounds good Si, if we ever meet up, I will deffo ask for a few shots through her and the Wolf of course but mainly the Ultimate Sporter. Phil
  22. The big question Jimmy, is the new raider as good as the one which you loved so much. If it is, then you know what you would be buying and know that it compared with your HW100 so the decision is not so big, both will work for you, it is just a case of which do you prefer. I think I would be a little nervous getting rid of the HW in case the Raider is not quite as you remembered it. The ideal situation is to get the Raider and try it out, if okay, sell the HW. Phil
  23. That is well worth the money. When I finally get my FAC through and get my hands on the Rapid Mk2, the stock is VERY bland so I want to do something, we will wait and see. Phil
  24. Well pleased for you Simon, now you have the gun you THOUGHT you had bought in the first place....................BUT BETTER. Phil
