    Yes, E700 Two different torches but I agree it think the torch is to blame some how. I am recharging all the batteries I have and run tests again tonight using different torches and gun/scope combinations. To be honest, I may convert this unit into a spotting scope because it has been superbly made and it will not go to waste. I have tried with and without the sunshade. I am over on the East Coast near the Humber Bridge Treecreeper. We will see what results I get tonight Phil

    I hate gutting rabbits summer, winter or any time. I watched a pal do one, what an eye opener, he squeezes the rabbit with one hand then puts the other hand next to that moving down the body, when his hand is a couple of inches from it's arse, he put the rabbit agaist his leg and whacked the last couple of inches of the rabbit and the whole lot shot out from the back, clean fast and no smell plus corvid bait. I hope that all makes sense, brilliant to see. Phil

    NV update I want to throw this fecking thing in the River Humber................F&*%$£^?@ After a great result when the NV was returned back to me, I tried it last night, I am back to a max of 15mts range. I cannot get my head around this issue. Going to contact one of the guys on airgun forum who has a great understanding of add on NV and is in West Yorks so not too far. I am getting more p1ssed off by the minute. Phil

    I wish I had Jimmy but as I have not heard anything, I assume it was not me. I saw the perfect rifle for a project yesterday, it is a side lever Air Arms springer, stock has no finish left on it and the barrels are rusty but it cocked and fired so doable I would have thought........................only problem is that my friend doesn't want to part with it......................bugger.

    What is on top of the Photon and can you just swap the scope to the NV and maintain zero. Phil

    Been to a bbq today and one of the guys brought along his Daystate Air Wolf which he bought second hand from a dealer in Hull. He has had it for a few months, a minter for sure and although we didn't get chance to shoot it, it was nothing short of stunning, fantastic balance, just felt right and I think perhaps he has got a good un, I can really understand how you can fall in love with them, no idea how accurate it is but would have liked a session on the range with it just to see for myself. Lovely gun from a sh1te company. Phil

    Hmmmmmmm, trying an N200 out tonight belonging to a pal just to see if it is any better than my add on. Phil

    Hmmm, thinking Jimmy, I'm thinking....................trying one out tonight, an earlier one than that but we will see and turn my NV into a spotting scope. Phil

    I said they were poor in mine Mark, NOT all HW100's and I am buggered why they don't work in mine, I bet mine is the only HW100 that they don't actually perform in. The express do just not paying that price. Phil

    I was going to put it in the sales section but it will not allow unless I am a donator or something like that but it is on some other forums so fingers crossed. Phil

    Following on from my NV saga and it's lack of showing any distance over 15mt, the unit went back to the cottage industry that made it. The chap was so helpful it was a pleasure to deal with him, he was not at all happy that the image was so poor and requested the unit be sent back at his cost to sort. Yesterday the NV arrived back safe and sound but as I have been helping at my daughter's house, I didn't get chance to try it out until tonight. The camera has been replaced, to be honest I think he has replaced the whole kit, I focused the lens for my scope recticle setting and off into the ga

    Interestingly Stealthy, my local RFD has reached a similar decision after battling with Daystate over a gun which, if I remember correctly, only left the shop a few days earlier and Daystate didn't find fault on their behalf. This went on for weeks. One thing I don't understand, why would a successful English company, capable of high standing in both UK and worldwide markets, be prepared to loose everything by poor QC and p1ss off most of the customers who have spent hard earned cash and a lot of it, to the point, like Mitch and many others, that they will never buy from that company again

    I am a huge believer in 'TRY BEFORE YOU BUY' where ever possible but I know it is not always possible. Phil

    One thing is for sure Luke, it will give you the chance to feel the difference between a PCP and a springer and there is a big difference in shooting them as I have found out when I bought a springer recently, as some of the lads on here will know. I will wait to hear from you matey. Phil

    Extremely well put Mitch. It is the same with cars, we buy a car and it has faults, before we know where we are, that car would never darken the drive again. I feel this way about some cars which is unfair as many people own them and love them. I think it is fair to say however that Daystate do not seem to care about their customers and the money invested in a product which is very poor and that is out of order. I would love one of these guns but I cannot afford one but even if I could, I would be nervous about buying one UNLESS a second hand one came up whose history I actually knew or of co
