    The 28fps Rapid is not the be all and end all Mark, it just happens to be a gun in the RFD that I fancy. To be honest, higher fps rated rifles are within reach if I get the FAC but I'm not too concerned if I don't get it and carry on as normal. As already said in the other post, I have seen some lovely FAC air rifles which in my area do not carry a fitting price tag therefore, having an FAC ticket gives me access to some very well priced guns that I may not be able to afford otherwise. Will having an fac rifle make me a better shot, of course not but it is an aspect of airgun shooting tha

    Why FAC. It seemed to me to be another aspect of air rifle shooting which interested me. I also noticed just how many FAC airguns were around at very good prices, mainly because of a smaller buying market. My shotgun license was comming up for renewal and thought it made sense to combine the two at a cost saving and the farmer whose land I shoot on had no issues with me using FAC rifles, air or live ammo although I have no interest in live ammo rifles. I am NOT going down this avenue to increase range although I guess that may be posible but having the extra power brings it's own merrits

    Now then Mark, that sounds like you might just be fancying one yourself..... I had the police round on Wednesday evening to check up on me for the renewal of my shotgun license/application for an FAC ticket, I hope I get it so I can go and pick up the FAC Rapid Mk2 that is sat waiting in the RFD for me to collect.

    Having been today, I am really impressed with how this company has taken up the slack from the CLA Game Fair and the short lived replacement to the CLA, UK Game Fair. The show was not as big as the CLA but well laid out and organised. The sad part was the lack of airgun presence apart from the range where a few guns were available but not many which is a real shame. I did however have a couple of magazines through an FX Wildcat which pleasd me no end as I have wanted to try one for quite a while and my first impressions..........................fecking BRILLIANT.

    Well I just got back from the game fair and spent some time looking at the 970, yukon and ATN oh yes and Nite Site but leaning towards a dedicated unit rather than an add on although I do not exclude the Ward but they were not at the show. It wont be a Pulsar however as they are way beyond my reach. I have bought a new IR torch to start with so something to try. Phil

    Thanks Tom, I will pop the back off mine to establish what camera is used and take it from there. Phil

    How about this Tom http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIGHT-VISION-KPC-E700PUB-SONY-CHIPSET-CAMERA-700TVL-2D-DNR-ATR-WDR-/232022649069?var=&hash=item3605a0a8ed:m:mcqLGPP4QIxb6C_66DbmNKw Phil

    I might get another camera then Tom. As stated earlier Bry, it is not a T20 by name but the same type made by a guy on Airgun forum and also used by quite a few other guys on there. It is a Surefire torch and has 3 power modes and zoom capability. Phil

    Anyone going to 'The Game Fair' this weekend at Ragley Hall. Phil

    Yes the highest setting Mitch. I have checked the focus and fine tuned the camera to the scope but I am not certain what camera it is Tom as I bought it as a completely made unit. I had wondered about another camera but don't want to throw money at it if it is no good which is why I want to try another torch to try in comparision. Phil

    Okay, some food for thought. I will have another play tonight. The unit itself is really well made and very neat with it's own built in battery but it is starting to p1ss me off. I take on board what you say TC regarding AO/torch zoom and will look into it further but, and there is always a 'but', I have side wheel AO on my scopes and I did try to make adjustments with both last night with very little effect, worth trying again though. I would like to try a bigger torch, just to eliminate it from the equasion or even another T20. Mine is not a T20 by name but Terry on airgun forum makes th

    The sun shade is normally fitted and I tried it with and without last night but just have not put it back on again. I bought the unit from a guy on ebay who builds them. A number of people on Airgun forum bought them and raved about how good they were so I decided to get one, £200. I have tried making adjustments where possible and have the batteries on charge to see if there is any improvement. Phil

    I just popped the NV on the gun before I changed the scope for the photo but here is the unit as it is on my current set up.
  15. philpot
    Just charging the battery in the torch to be on the safe side although there seems to be plenty of life in it. This is the one I have This is at 15mt The scope is an MTC Genesis AO, IR although the scope in the photo is a Hawke Varmint. The torch is mounted on a picatiny rail so it should be okay. Phil

    Time to pick your collective brains chaps. I have had an add-on NV for a little while but only used it at a friends ratting perm and then it was no more than 15mt distance. Tonight, I sat in wait for some bunnies until the light went, on with the IR torch (T20) and on with the camera unit........................clear image at about 15mt but at 20mt onwards almost no image at all. Now I am assuming it is down to lack of output from the torch but I would have thought these torches would have eaten that distance. I did see a rabbits eye shine but in all honesty, I really don't know what dista
