  1. NO NO NO don't buy raffle tickets, I want to win this Just joking boys, buy the tickets as it is for a good cause, I won't win, If I fell into a barrel full of tits, I would come out sucking my thumb so little chance of winning this cracking gun. Phil
  2. Yet another load of crap from Dayslap. You really have to wonder what is the percentage of decent rifles Vs useless crap. They should be taken to court for their attitude when they supply product not fit for purpose and at crazy prices offering NO customer support. It would not be tooooo bad if the guns were cheap stuff but when they charge top dollar, it's a joke. I'm glad you have a plan in place Simon with the right bloke. Phil
  3. Having seen first hand what an incredible shot pianoman, Simon, is and what he is able to do wth my TX let alone his own HW springers, made me quickly change my opinion of what a springer can acheive. The SPRINGER IN THE RIGHT HANDS IS EVERY BIT AS ACCURATE AS A PCP. The reality however is that IMO few people are CONSISTANTLY as good with a springer as they are with a PCP. PHIL
  4. Yes mate, I am in no rush, the FAC will take time. Phil
  5. Nice one Sean, my friend has 3 Rapid .20 (or perhaps it's 2 plus a .22) but whichever he loves his and confess, I am so looking forward to getting mine although .22, .20 is on the list....... Phil
  6. You have a very understanding wife Mitch Phil
  7. Nice one matey, I like to sit and wait but when I have a successful stalk, it always feels much better to me. Pbil
  8. I wonder if they are strong enough to run on a springer because I am going to need another scope for the Rapid and may use my Varmint from the TX so will need a replacement but cannot afford to buy another £200_300 scope in the short term. This one is no good for the Rapid as I doubt I will be able to get the nv add on to fit with the IR control. Phil
  9. Did you have a word with Simon then Phil about the fac,,air atvbjimmy :thumbs: Yes I did Jimmy and applying for an FAC ticket along with my renewal shotgun certificate so they run together. I wish I had seen your guns for sale JJM, I would have been interested. Phil
  10. I bought a Stanley tool bag from B&Q for a tenner, not too big and not too small. Phil
  11. Get thee hence temptation.......................oh, I am so weak...............deposit paid !!!! Phil
  12. There are quite a few scopes on ebay which have been bought by various people on another forum which have been a good purchase. What seems to happen however sometimes is the consistency of manufacture that has cause issues for some. The scope shown here looks to be great value for money if the glass is decent. Phil
  13. As usual Mark...............nice shooting mate. Phil
  14. I look forward to trying these out when my dear wife get down the 1500 AA Field she has in stock. I do wonder why the .177 version does not have the same following as in the world of .22, is it the fact that in 177, it is too light and more prone to cross winds. Phil
  15. Nice one Rez...........................love that rifle Phil
  16. Has your friend got sorted now Jimmy. Phil
  17. Been there, done that but not twice.................................... Phil
  18. I am not keen on mr wabbit nor is the family but as I have loads on the perm, a different approach to cooking them might be in order. Do you guys joint them or cook them whole. Phil
  19. Ah,,,,,,,there we have it boys, a shotgun cert ,Yes.................FAC, no. That is the reason it is still there. I have been toying with the idea of getting an FAC ticket but not sure my perm would be suitable to get approval because there are public footpaths on the edge which might screw it up. I have just been told that whilst my shotgun cert is due in October, with the backlog, I need to apply now and I am not ready to go for an FAC at the moment which is a pity because if I applied for both at the same time, my shotgun cert will only cost me £2.00 extra. Just not good timing I'm afr
  20. I popped into my local RFD today for a coffee and chat along with a scrounge for some BKL mounts. He didn't have the mounts BUT what was leaning agaist the wall behing the counter had me fixed to the spot. A Rapid MK2, .22 mint..................well of course I asked to take a closer look, it seemed much lighter in the hand than I expected, Oh my lord, it felt spot on fitted with a quick fill port as well. It had just been priced up at £550 and my mind was racing with 'SHALL I DO IT' but then the dawning of reality was dropped in my lap as the RFD said it was an FAC version Not happy.
  21. Somw very nice terrain there Si. Phil
  22. I bought a spare cylinder for my HW100KT a couple of months ago, thought it might be a handy thing to have and use it for switching in the field if I run out of air. I had not really thought of selling it but as my pension is likely to drop a bit perhaps so. Phil
