  1. I am sticking with the AA Express or in the JSB guise Simon. I am sure you will find one sooner or later. Phil
  2. The pellets seem to be ongoing but it might be in name only ????? Phil
  3. Strange how pellet choice varies so much with the same make/model of gun.
  4. Funniley enough, I bought a tin of superfields for my HW100KT, nothing short of shocking. Whilst Weihrauch state 4.51 pellet size on the action, having tried several at that size including AA Fields, the result is very poor groups however 4.2 and 4.3 generally work fine. Phil
  5. Cheers me dears............................onward and upward as they say. Phil
  6. Who is a clever boy Mark................ http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/215285-25mm30mm/ Phil
  7. I am finding hard to shoot the TX with any real purpose but I can honestly say, even though at times it is a bit frustrating, I am really enjoying the process and it seems to really like AA Express pellets. Phil
  8. Yes the black dot is 8mm approx and whilst I have a looooooong way to go, I am not too unhappy with that. Still not ready to take you guys on but bit by bit better, well let's face it, wouldn't be worse. Phil
  9. I went up to the range today to practice with the TX and after a zeroing session (top left) for 25mt, slowly and steady, things started to look a bit better. The last group of 12 shots proved to be the best so I packed up and left while feeling good about an improvement. I changed my hold on the gun as well today which seemed to make a difference. Phil
  10. I saw that episode as well Tom and they do seem good value for money but I have not looked through one so no idea how good is the image from that glass. It was a thought for my wife's gun but she got a Leapers Bug Buster instead which suits her need very well. Quite a few on ebay I'm not well experienced to know if 30mm glass is better, logic says more light to reach the eye but I don't see any difference in brightness between my 25mm Hawke and my 30mm MTC buy there again, I have not used them in the gloom of an evening so perhaps that is when the 30mm comes into it's own. Phil
  11. Thanks Mitch, it just might be easier to get hold of these. Phil
  12. Countryway and uttings are out of stock at present so she will be using the AA field for the time being. Just been advised that FAP is in fact JSB Exact Jumbo RS, so they might be available. Have you tested them Mitch and if so, do they perform as well as FAP in .22. Phil
  13. Very nice to see a youngster seeing the wonderful kindness extended by two of our members, fantastic guys. This may help with her eye issue and is something we do in clay shooting when someone starting off, has a left eye dominance but are right handed (or the other way around). Get a pair of very dark sunglasses and remove the right lens, then put black insulating tape over the left lens. I have NOT tried this for rifle shooting but the principle is the same and may just work fine as it forces the right eye to focus on the target and the left eye cannot have any bearing on the shooting.
  14. That is some rain matey. Pity it is such a long way from me, about 5hrs as we have nothing like this anywhere near me. Phil
  15. Thanks guys, just looked on their site, JSB's are very well priced as well. Mark, you are a gent mate Thank you but I am going to get some anyway. Phil
  16. That looks brilliant Ethan far far better than mine. How about a link David as to where you got it. Phil
  17. I saw it in the flesh, so to speak and it does look superb. Phil
  18. Ah sorry, I misunderstood. Phil
  19. I want to get some FAP to try in my wife's gun, who has the best prices/postage please. Phil
  20. If the length is the issue, use a spacer or a few spacers which can be made both cheaply and easily from wood, plastic or professionally made ones. If the stock is too low, buy a Beartooth comb raiser, brilliant product, my wife had one on a shotgun she used to own and it worked a treat. http://www.avalon-guns.com/avalon/Comb-Raisers.html Phil
  21. Good on you David. Ethan is going to be made up with that Jimmy. Phil
  22. Nice one Chris, I did wonder how long it would be before you had one. I confess I was drooling over a .22 in Crawfords last week. Phil
