Nice going Billy Phil

I can always bring a shotgun if it pleases your farmer. Well done mate. Phil

I have a Swift Stumpy, very impressed with it and you can remove some section to get it shorter but can't confirm how much louder it becomes. It even reduces the noise from my TX by quite a bit but my wife claimed it for her Brocock which is now silent and they are not too heavy either. Phil

Plus one more Phil

Strange thing is Walshie, I have two illuminated scopes, on one the full cross hairs light up in red or green and these are useless but on my MTC only the centre of the cross hairs is red and this works really well. The tail switch should be here in a couple of days but there again the NV unit should be back soon and when it does, I'll be using that. Phil

The gun is stunning looking Si. I know they have a shocking reputation but strangely enough the lads on another forum don't seem to have too many issues with this model. I really hope it is a good un Si. Phil

I ordered one on ebay to try only £3.66 so not exactly a costly job to try out. Going back out again in an hour to try again. Phil

Got The Nite Site Viper/cheers Daz

It should have come with ND filters Jimmy (shades of grey) which have no colour cast. I have looked for some but not so easy to get hold of. On the new NV units they have now got screen brightness control so you can reduce it right down. My mate has one and loves it. Going to try the lamping again in about an hour so fingers crossed. Phil -
I know these can work really well but in all the cases I know of, it has been shooting with shotguns. Just wondered if any of you have used them to effect on woodies with the air rifle. I am looking at one for shotgun work with a pal, it would be a real advantage if successful getting them on the ground to use a rifle. Phil

As soon as I have bought a tail switch, I am deffo off to try again whilst my NV unit is away for sorting. Plenty to think about there Jimmy and all new to me. Phil
-
PM sent I'm not far away and would be very happy to meet up. Phil

I would deffo have one if they were half the price, could be a new sport....... Phil

One of the lads on here, Seamaster, has bought another Brocock after he thought the first was not so good but this time Chris says this is a cracking gun and very accurate. It has to be said however a few of the guys on airgun forum have got them and they are up to the Daystate standard with poor quality control meaning there have been issues with things not working properly or not at all, only minor like not being able to put air in but hey does that really matter.................... I think it is a case of if you get a good one, they are great but if you get a problem, it's back to Dayst

I had a go at lamping tonight as my NV is up the spout and going back for a new camera so out with the red beam. There must be more to it than I thought although the wind has been howling all day with a couple of showers and only one bunny made a show but free hand missed it. Must remember to make allowance for the fecking wind !!!! My lamp doesn't have a switch on the stock, instead the button is on the back of the torch so I need to get a remote switch, this made it tricky and noisy. I can't see a bloody thing with the torch on lowest setting so middle or high. Bit by bit I did get more

To be honest Si, the Impact doesn't do it for me, perhaps a little too military for me although extremely clever and a friend in London has the first in the UK and loves it but the Wildcat has been in my mind for some time now and after shooing one at the Game Fair last week, I am smitten with them...........................I WILL HAVE ONE, NEED MORE MONEY....... Phil

I do like my laminated stock on the HW100KT but to be honest, I am really careful in the field with it, too careful perhaps. If buying the gun again, it would be a walnut stock for durability. I think I may end up using it for target stuff instead of field use and my soon to be Rapid and hopefully a Wildcat will be the field guns. I'll get me hat and duck. Phil

Some Stocks Ive Refinished
philpot replied to nath92's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
I would love to do a stock in your green or you do it perhaps Nath Phil -
Nice to see you back again. Phil
-
This looks such a good position and thought I would give it a try Mitch, With knackered knees, I had all on to get back up and to be honest I found it uncomfortable. I will go back to free hand or sticks........Pity but it is what hapens when you become an OLD TART (still young at heart though) Phil
-
Good luck with both David Phil

Some Stocks Ive Refinished
philpot replied to nath92's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
As soon as I saw the green stocks Nath, I knew who you were and which forum. Love the work you have done that I have seen and really want a green stock they look superb. Now we have two stock men. Phil -
David, providing you have ticked the appropriate boxes at the top of the form and supplied 2 refs, you have covered it mate. Are you applying for both or is one or both a renewal. Phil
-
Couldn't agree more and we are not the only ones as the police I spoke to are of the same opinion Mark. Phil

Deposit is already paid, just waiting for approval from those gentlemen in blue. Phil
