  1. As usual Mark...............nice shooting mate. Phil
  2. 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

  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. Somw very nice terrain there Si. Phil
  10. 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
  11. Glad I started this post..................................................... Phil

  17. It's Phil, not Lewis but thank you for the answer Trevor. Phil
  18. Does your oil leave a high gloss finish or can you maintain a silk or matt finish Trevor. Phil
  19. I totally agree with you Si, I love mine. Just get yourself a nice scope and enjoy. Phil
  20. Freestanding is pretty difficult for most people and most certainly me but a friend told me of a method which did improve matters although I was using a PCP rifle. Take in a deep breath and at about half way on exhale aim and shoot within a max of 5 seconds. I worked on 5 seconds then 3 seconds which is quite easy to do and found that you take the shot before the gun really starts to wobble very much. I must say that I practiced this each day and it did make quite an improvement although given a chance I will always shoot off my Trigger Grip Tripod, sat down if I can but the above method has
