    I believe that they welcome you to pop in to their Sheffield workshop so if the distance is not too great, a visit would be on the cards. They are only about 10mins from the M1. Phil

    On my HW100KT I have a Hawke Varmint 4-16x44 which is actually 50mm outside diameter. I used standard Hawke mounts but recently fitted high mounts to take an add-on NV unit which gives me 15mm clearance from the barrel. In fact I didn't need the high mounts so will be switching back to standard but cant give you the gap but would have thought standard mounts would be fine.Looking at mine, I recon you will get a 3-5mm clearance approx.

    The RM8 looks very good value for money...............................but it stops there. I had one, front end heavy after you have walked with it for ten mins and serious issues with power dropping. There have been quite a few guys with the same problem. Mine started on 11.4ft/lb dropping to 9.6 ish, can't remember exactly. Airtec advised that he had 4 RM8 guns in with the same problem and was designing a new regulator as the reg fitted was rubbish and would just keep breaking down. My option was to replace the air bottle with a BSA R10 bottle and reduce the barrel length as it was too long

    I saw an HW at the range the other week with a stunning CS Custom stock, the grain was a sheer delight and a sporter to boot Mac so you would have loved it mate. Phil

    It is possible that the wad strayed and hit the thrush, more than enough clout to knock out a small bird. Just a freek accident. Phil

    Nice read Mac, it's great to get the kids/grandkids involved and watch them get better and better up to the point when you NEED to leave them at home, getting too good. Phil

    Okay thanks. Decent prices. Phil

    They don't spend the money to make a good rifle great because they sell too many rifles to people who are not members of any forum so are not likely to know that modifications can make such a difference. Just as an example, I know 4 people who own airguns and would never think of joining a forum.........thhe perfect customer... Phil

    I saw the shroud Si Pittaway had fitted by Ratworks, very very quiet. To be honest it was the shot count that always put me off the Ultra and I did have a chat with Phil at Ratworks to build a gun for me. Never actually actually shot one but picked them up many times in the shop, feel spot on. Phil

    What increase in shot count do you expect Mitch with the longer cylinder and who is going to do the work for you. Phil

    Cheers Mark, noted Uttings. Thought JSB Exacts were AA Field made in Poland or somewhere. Phil

    David , if it's for your HW100k try AA Express or JSB Express ,thats all i use in my now and seems good in the wind and better than Falcons in .177 I think they would be easier to get hold of compared to Falcons so they need to go on the list of test pellets.
  13. philpot
    I would like to try the .177 but nowhere near me sells them. Every bit of feed back I have read has been good so far and paticularly in HW guns. Phil

    I have got to say Mac, your new avatar photo is really superb, love it and would have been pleased to take that photo. Phil

    A bit slow to pick this up.........................it makes me feel sick, what the hell is wrong with people who do this sort of thing. I really hope your eye is not seriously damaged Sean and I hope some of your friends just happen to meet up with the guy or guys involved. Utter cowards, get well soon mate. When my son was in university in London, he was attacked from the rear trying to slash his hamstring so he could not run and they could nick his watch. The girls were the ones with the razor blades and blokes doing the robbing. He also finished in hospital but so did a couple of his at

    I take it that they are scope fussy. Do you know what works or not. Needless to say I had a look at the web site after you gave me the info. Phil

    I hate new year, it is 11.20pm, that means in 40 mins I will be 64.......... not fair, I am still 30 in my head. Have a great New Year chaps Phil

    I am curious about that as well Mitch.

    Heavy recoil Mark, that doesn't sound good at all. Phil
  22. philpot
    Whizz your mod off the barrel and unscrew the barrel weight then refit the mod. You will make the front end lighter straight away and benefit by it. If you find it still a little heavy at the front, you can fit a BSA R10 air bottle which being made of aluminium is much lighter. Phil

    The Rapid stock is really nice. Some of the prices seem okay and others, not so good. I wish him well and glad you got a good deal. Phil

    Welcome I love your rifle and your country, having been many times over the years on business. Phil
  25. philpot
    Yes I read that as well. It doesn't sound like a good start does it. Phil
