This hobby/sport/way of life, is like many others, a costly one to start off with. No surprise there, being a clay shooter, I know how to spend dosh on gear so this year, my first year back into this side of shooting has been a steep learning curve but nevertheless I believe after making a mistake buying the Rotex RM8, I am now on the right path.........I hope. I finish the year with most of the kit I wanted/needed now being bought HW 100 KT .177 ( Mac's choice of weapon ) Hawk Varmint 4-16 x 44 AO scope 4lt air cylinder & connector Visionking range finder Buffal

I had decided to get an NV system and because of cost, it would need to be a home build. The bottom line is that I just didn't want to build one and found one on ebay that has already been bought by a few guys on another forum with nothing but glowing reports so I coughed up £200 and it arrived yesterday. I have only had the chance to play around in the garden but to be honest it seems spot on. All the batteries are housed in the camera box so nice and neat. The charger plugs directly into the camera box so no battery removal and has short circuit protection for charging. The came

I can only agree with you...........end of. Phil

I have never owned an R10 but before buying the HW 100 KT (which Mac loves) I looked closely at the R10 and for me, the HW has a better magazine, easy and quick to load plus a spare with 14 shots to boot. The other thing I preferred was the side lever, very comfortable and quicker to use. It just did not feel right with the R10 bolt at the back of the action. These are just my observations and we all like different things in a gun plus the fact that both guns sell in large quantity so that speaks for itself. I am very happy with the HW although the higher shot count of the R10 certainly ap

A great many people swear by them as they can be tuned to the hilt so making a good rifle a really great rifle. I am thinking of the Ultra .22 regged with a bigger cylinder for ratting, they just feel great. Phil

Airgun World Spot The Difference.
philpot replied to patterdale's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Oh no it isn't, oh yes it is....................oh what was the question, I got into panto mood then. I will enter the odd competition but always find the changes and mark them in the mags but don't send them in unless the prize appeals then get hacked off that I didn't win............................and round and round we go. Phil -
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
-
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
-
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
-
The sea doesn't freeze dear boy and I will be piking next week
-
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.
