    Yes, had it on order but when I got to the RFD just didn't like it as much as I thought I would and so I walked out with an HW100KT lam stock. Still not kicked it into touch however because you never say never. Phil

    Yes you are right Chris, it is the Ultra, my mistake. No reg as you say just cosmetics and a price tag of about £800. I think someone said they were being offered to R10 limited edition owners first, or something like that. Phil

    This is the limited edition BSA Scorpion I think that they have made to go along side the R10 pepper stock. Very expensive from what I recall..................for a Scorpion. Phil

    Is that good or bad. I note that Bisley Magnums are also made by H&N, didn't know that. Phil

    They look the same as H&N Sniper Medium, 8.5gr £10 for 500. First tests in my garden which is only 15mt seem to offer good accuracy, the proof of the pudding will be on the range at 30-40mt. I have not tried the Sniper Heavy as yet. Phil

    The advert in this months magazine says available now, must admit I do like very much like the look of these and unlike their other semi bullpups, these have about 100 shots per charge. Phil

    Sorry guys, I should explain. I got some info from another forum which I have passed on to Mac and David, the only reason for not posting on open forum was that the writer who did it for another forum may take offence with his work being posted on here along with copyright being used without permission. That is the only reason and I have witnessed a similar situation on a completely different hobby forum which turned nasty. No secrets I promise. I will pm anyone who is thinking of doing what Mac and I are pondering about. Phil

    There you go, 12 or do they have to be stood up Daft thing but what do you expect from a new un Phil

    I have just got some H&N Sniper Medium in .177 and although I have only tried them in the garden as the range is closed for a refurb, they look to do well. The shape is quite different to most other pellets with a small/lower skirt which might help, perhaps worth a go. http://www.uttings.co.uk/p120887-handn-sniper-medium-pellets-177-x-500-hnsnl177/#.VlRWY3bhAdU Phil

    Sent you a PM Mac with a bit of info I found. Phil

    There were a few bought with the intention of having the upgrades that were advertised but were not forth coming. I may be wrong about this so don't hold me to it but I think there was some talk that the company were no longer trading and someone else had taken over the stock so it may be worth doing some research before you buy.

    Forget guys, I was only messing around, sorry if I offend delicate ears and I am fully aware there is a fishing section, christ I wish I hadn't bothered. Phil
  14. philpot
    Listen you tossers, I will rephrase it then for you, the Humber where I do my sea fishing does not freeze certainly not in my lifetime, it is the 7' waves hitting the sea wall that stops you fishing........................................are we clear Us' new un's'...........................feck me I bet I was shooting before some of you were even born maybe not Mac Phil
  15. philpot
    Thanks chaps, I don't want a rim fire to be honest, it is something that no longer interests me but a .22 or .25 FAC air rifle certainly interests me. Phil
  16. philpot
    The sea doesn't freeze dear boy and I will be piking next week
  17. philpot
    Better not tell you where the land is that I am waiting to hear from then and a good job it is a long drive so think I might be safe Phil

    I have cancelled going to clay competition this morning and now my sea fishing session as the tide is breaking the sea wall with 6' breakers and to top it off it is now 2degrees and SNOWING...........................Oh joy. At least this weather might bring the pike on good style for a mid week session, so glad to be retired, I can fit things in, don't know how I had time to work before................where are thermal wellies. Phil
  19. philpot
    Well done David, I am so looking forward to my first perm. Phil
  20. philpot
    The wind here is so bad that allowance for wind would be impossible at the moment, the gusts are really strong. There is a possibility of bloody snow here according the the forecast last night but hopefully they have it wrong. Good luck if you go out Mac Phil

    To be honest Rez, I am hoping to get a perm with a quarry on the land which is now grassed over and has a large rabbit population and I thought it could be quite handy for that but as much as anything if I got a Brocock Compatto or a Wildcat, both can turn down the power so it could be a cracking ratter. I do want a .22 or .25 for ratting and thought this might cover both areas of interest and I guess it would be nice to simply have it available to me. I am going to have another gun so an FAC will give me that option. Phil

    You guys put a smile on my face that's for sure. Supposed to be shooting Olympic Trap this morning but not in this wind/ gale and then sea fishing late this afternoon hmmmmm maybe but I think it's a case of reading the magazines and watch a film instead Phil
  23. philpot
    Just thinking about the possibility of having a .25 FAC and would like to know from you boys with FAC air rifles just how tricky is it to get a ticket. I have a cabinet that my shotguns are in although not sure if that is the same spec for FAC. Your thoughts please Phil
  24. philpot
    I have had shotguns for over 50 years and now back to air rifles, hobby, obsession, profession.......................................none, it is a way of life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil
  25. philpot
    ooooohh, you do have a way with words Mac. Phil
