  1. Up to your usual standard again Mitch. Phil
  2. I had one but not for long. 1, heavy up front 2, power levels all over the place but generally downwards (11.7-9.?) 3, sticking mag 4, Armex (importer) did not seem interested neither did the RFD so he got NO further business. I spoke to Airtech before I sold it as he had 4 in for similar problems, Carl's words not mine ' the reg will never work for long', he was producing his own reg for this gun as the issue was a common one and growing. If I had kept it, I would have fitted a BSA R10 bottle which was less than half the weight, reduced the barrel length and had the gun regged with an
  3. MEAN MACHINE..................... Phil
  4. Totally agree, both bloody lovely. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of price for one like that. Phil
  5. They are really a nice looking gun Si, I had promised myself one but had quite a surprise when I picked one up in the shop, it just felt wrong, I couldn't get comfortable with it, quite a disappointment really. It is one of those guns that when you hand it back, you wished you had asked to try it, a bit like the Wildcat which was a revelation when I actually got the chance to shoot one so perhaps one day I will get to shoot one and go way back up the list again. She is a pretty lady Si and hope you enjoy it mate. Phil
  6. Pity, I was down that neck of the woods last week, I could have picked it up for you Rez OR kept it myself.............................Oh well. Phil
  7. I did wonder about that trick David but to be honest I would prefer to find a pellet that shoots straight before adding any lube. The selection of pellets locally is very poor meaning you have to send away for so many types, god knows why. Phil
  8. Totally agree and I will have to bite the bullet and get a selection in when I have finished my bloody decorating, who said I would have loads of spare time when I am retired !!!!!!!!!! My local RFD has a few opened tins for range testing guns so they will be the first to try which saves a bit of cash. God I sound so fecking tight, holiday to pay for in two weeks time, I need a lottery win or a bit of one will do fine or get the wife to do an extra little part time job.......................12 hour shifts down the pit Phil
  9. Are there going to be seats available to watch the battle, might be worth a trip north Phil
  10. Now you know that aint true old pal as I do recall you taking a shine to my sticks Phil
  11. Love the 'finger' at the end Renos, nothing wrong with those matey. Phil
  12. Cheers Mac, I will get some different pellets to try. Deker the over powered situation is not my rifle but an identical situation shown on the vid link with 'Teds Holdover' which was an over powered HW .177 FAC and was given as an illustration to the pellet flight path, not the same problem, I see the confusion as we were talking about the same link on another thread so perhaps it seemed to be offered as THE problem but that was not the case here. Phil
  13. Which brocock did you buy the good lady then Phil. Sorry John, missed your question. It is a s/h Contour with a Leaper Bug Buster scope making an extremely light outfit, I thought if she didn't use it much, it will do for my grandson when he is old enough. Phil
  14. I think free standing is blooooomin hard for anyone (except maybe Viz) but with your condition it must be a hell of lot harder Renos. Well done you. I find myself taking most of my hunting shots free standing, not because I want to but the rabbit or pigeon has gone by the time I manage to get down to kneel and then hope there is a good branch to get back up again, perhaps why I miss a lot...................... Keep at it Renos. Phil
  15. Serious result, really serious...................... Phil

    Very clever John, like that. Phil
  17. Si, you KNOW what you want mate and it comes from FX so don't bother debating. You KNOW it makes sense.................... Phil
  18. Not tried 5.51 Deker and to be honest, I am not a lover of AA Fields it was simply a case that the RFD chucked a couple of tins of 5.52 in on the deal for my other half. I was not bothered as I was not using the gun, my wife is. What part are you confused about Deker, I am an East Coast boy so perhaps my description of the issue was not very clear..........sorry. Phil
  19. Yes I have to do that and I am taking off the mod just in case I am getting interference / clipping although I doubt it as it is almost silent and I think you would hear a clicking sound. I was going buy some FAP but at this moment, until I establish what the cause is, I don't want to splash on tins upon tins of pellets as the AA Field may not be the issue. Could anyone send me a handful of .22 FAP to test please. Phil Phil
  20. I guessed that was the vid you were talking about mate. But what about my pellet issue boys, come on Mac, Mitch, Simon, David, Mark and any other boffins..........................ideas ideas ideas boys. I should say the gun has been chrono checked at 11.6fps on two machines Phil
  21. Exactly as that Jonnie and that is also the subject that Mark referred to in another thread. Phil
  22. Perhaps your new love is all conquering mate and no thought of the poor old HW100 Phil
