    Can I just ask, how often are you putting spray oil on the magazine back and silicone grease on the 'O' ring. I had an issue with my RM8 but didn't know the HW could have similar issues. Oh yes, which spray oil do you suggest, I have some Napier Power Airgun Oil, would that do. Phil

    So this is the right one Mark and the best price but is £99 including carriage. http://www.bushwear.co.uk/stalking-hunting-shooting/rifle-rests-shooting-sticks/primos-trigger-stick-tall-tripod-gen-2.html Phil

    David I would like to take you up on that please, I am quite curious because most reports say they are not good but as the saying goes, ' you don't know until you try'. I am going to do some pellet tests so these will fit in with those tests. I have also heard a couple of reports about BSA Interceptors (hollow point) being amazing for ratting and although they were in .22 produced good groups up to 35yds, no feed back on .177 though. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bsa+interceptors&espv=2&biw=1440&bih=775&tbm=isch&imgil=8hhpGuiuN3pF1M%253A%253B0EefnNKpNk2qPM%253Bh

    Mark was singing their praises and must admit the tripod is on my list. From ebay which seem to be the best prices that I have seen. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xprimos+trigger+sticks.TRS0&_nkw=primos+trigger+sticks&_sacat=0 Phil

    Thank you anyway David, the link will be most helpful. Phil

    I know what you mean about the blue switch light and I will be putting a shroud of some kind over that to prevent spooking any rats / rabbits which shouldn't be too tricky. Hope to be shifting some sea fishing gear this weekend which is no longer used and will go a fair way to paying for this NV. Phil

    Samuria please let Tom have the gun as my pal has just gone to France on a job for 6 weeks so I am happy someone will get the benefit of your kind offer. Phil

    Thank you very much David. Phil

    Okay, I will contact him and see if it is possible to pick it up. Phil

    Oh right, something I was not aware of David. What do you use and where do you get them from. Phil

    I have a friend in Dereham, if he can pick it up for me, I would be happy to have it, ideal for my nephew to start off with. Are you desperate to get rid of it or do I have a little time. Phil

    I don't have a perm yet although I do know a few farmers so I will be shooting a few rats before long. I bought a T20 red Cree lamp which gives a good light but this was just to get me into night shooting and I have been doing a little practice with that at targets. I came across a nice NV unit on ebay which the guy has sold to a few of the 'Airgun' forum lads who all seem very pleased with it so I think that is the next purchase. I know quite a number of guys have made their own but to be honest, I don't think I want to make one. This is the one I will buy, the sale has ended but I ha

    Has anybody got an exploded diagram of this bloody seal because I am really quite confused by the concerns of Hull Cartridge if there isn't any need to worry about using a pull through. Phil

    My Vision King range finder arrived today. Very pleased on first viewing, fast and simple. I also used it a few minutes ago with my red scope light in the darkness out in the field and it works fine as I took readings during the daylight, the readings were the same in red light so could be handy for night shooting. Perhaps you guys know this but I didn't so well pleased. Phil

    Perhaps this would be better left alone as it is giving the anti band some interesting reading. We are all gun users for whatever purpose and should stick together with a united front. Phil

    I have to admit that I would prefer the pull through method but am somewhat nervous about this bloody seal, just how easy is it to dislodge. I did make a pull through ready to use out of fly fishing line and bought these from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191283237819?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT How do you know if the seal has become dislodged, does it just come out or what and how easy is it to sort should the worse happen, never had to think about this sort of thing before.

    When I bought my HW100KT a couple of weeks ago, I was advised to clean the barrel as there may be some protective coating in the barrel. I was given thoughts on a pull through and cleaning pellets but with the HW I had to be careful not to pull the seal out of position as it is sited in the barrel so I phoned Hull Cartridge to see what they advised. They said to be VERY VERY careful with pull through cleaning and suggested cleaning pellets every time. The method was to spray 4 or 5 pellets with Napier Power Airgun oil, and fill the rest of the mag with dry pellets. Remove the mod and fire

    I do a lot of lure fishing for pike, perch, chub etc, in fact most fish and this bugger is the my best perch by a mile. A .177 lime green 3.5'' Kopyto soft plastic pellet got him Phil

    It seems to work fine although having never used this method, it took a few mins to sort it out. Open new google page' photobucket' and either log in or register For those who have photobucket, go to library and select your photo by tapping the image. tap on 'share' , get links. data page opens, select IMG, select 'copy' go back to forum page and keep finger on your post, 'paste' will appear, press paste and your photo will be transferred to your post.

    Have you tried using 'Photobucket' on your phone to load photos, it should work. Phil

    I used to be a mad keen wildfowler many moons ago when the east coast marshes were open and trust me actually hitting the ducks and geese was not an easy task as you were shooting with no backdrop to know distances, usually in an uncomfortable position in the mud hide. Any birds taken were WELL earned. I knew two guys with punt guns and as said earlier, originally they were a means of scraping a living or at least something to eat for a poor family on the wash and I know for a fact that on most occasions the pound of lead shot had to be fired before getting back to shore as they were muzzl

    What are the Falcon AP like in .177 in an HW, anyone tried them. Phil
