    There was a lot of hooha on airgun forum regarding BSA stopping production of the Ultra in favour of this piece of crap known as the Ultra XL but at present they still keep coming into the RFD but for how long. I ought to buy one I guess before they stop producing them but I would prefer a Wildcat any day if I am honest, no tuning needed. Phil

    Quote:- A rimfire doing 90 ft/lbs and poor marksmanship will result in a rabbit running away shot because the shot placement was poor. This also applies to every gun including a shotgun Mark. Without doubt, accuracy and field craft are involved with all live quarry hunting sports so really providing the person actually using the gun is not an idiot and shoots to both his accurate distance limit and the gun's limit, there is no case to answer in terms of power as each gun class will have it's own 'safe' killing distance and so will the person shooting the gun. The problem comes abo

    Depending what make it is, some have a lifetime warranty so it is worth contacting the RFD to establish what is the score with the scope to have. Phil

    Welcome aboard matey I use 'photobucket' to upload all my piccies, very easy and free unless like me you have rather a lot of photo's but even then, it isn't much. Phil

    I don't know if it is my speakers but the sound is very muffled. Good to see another Sheffielder on here, I left the home town twenty years ago however to the east coast (there weren't many cod to be caught in Sheffield ). I still go back to shoot with some friends every now and then. Welcome to the forum Phil

    I will be ducking behind him David and that is for sure. Just been talking to the makers of my NV and despite the fact that I have another on the way, I want to sort this one out. We think it may well be the IR illuminator that is at fault so they are sending me one of theirs to try. To be honest, I am interested in converting it into a spotter scope if I can sort the IR, if in fact that is the fault, so in the next couple of days I will find out. Some busy night work coming up methinks. Phil

    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

    Oh my god !!!! That looks superb, who made the stock. Phil

    Works with all corvids David

    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. Phil

    Thanks for that. Phil
  23. philpot
    That is a great result and thanks must go to Si and Jimmy. Phil

    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
