  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Heavy recoil Mark, that doesn't sound good at all. Phil
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Welcome I love your rifle and your country, having been many times over the years on business. Phil
  8. Yes I read that as well. It doesn't sound like a good start does it. Phil
  9. We used to use an owl decoy when shotgun shooting a few years ago but not sure that would work with a rifle as they mob the owl and we obviously shot them on the wing. Phil
  10. If I do buy one of these guns, you can be rest assured that I will do a review, warts and all. At this stage, I will be happy to just get my hands on one to feel what is is like in the shoulder and take it from there. To be very honest, I would buy an Hm 1000 if I could afford one but the old pension doesn't go that far and that has to be one of my considerations for my next gun. God, I do sound like an old fart but I have just come in from a 5 mile walk so not completely knackered just yet. Phil
  11. VM, I don't really know, there is just something about this gun I really like as I do with a few guns, not just this one. I love my HW but I want a .22 and possibly a different make. I liked the older Brococks for the handling but the shot count was rubbish. Confined areas ratting comes to mind, it won't be the first time I am wrong about something and I'm sure as hell it won't be the last but I need to get this out of the thinking one way or another. Phil
  12. If it works, I don't care who made it, it may fit the bill so I will keep an open mind and wait to see the outcome. Phil
  13. But dipped in camo Mac............................
  14. Nice one and I love your gun. Phil
  15. A merry Xmas to you and your family Davy Phil
  16. Cheers Davy, I might just take you up on that mate. Phil
  17. quote. Guys after the review,it will be a rifle for air gun enthusiasts to consider. It already is Davy. It is a pity I live so far away because I would sneak down to your club to beg a shot or two. Really looking forward to hearing more but already sound like it ticks some of my boxes. Phil
  18. I have just had a call from an excited son in law who has been bought an AA S410 carbine by my daughter with some help from me. He is not dressed yet but already been out in the garden to test the gun. Good job I had my bottle filled earlier this week ready for the hectic activity later today. I had to give him some bullsh1t story about needing my old scope which is fitted to an old spring gun I gave him to play with in order that we could see what height the outfit was in order that we could get a good fitting gun bag. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together. MERRY CHR
  19. I personally would not want either the air rifle or shotgun but can't knock the feed back I have been given (shotgun) from very reliable sources. Phil
  20. Some years ago, I had been out shooting with friends and popped round to see one of the lads who were shooting with me only to find him ranting as he had just been robbed while he was watching the TV in another room. Now okay, he should have cleaned the gun and put it away but had not done, leaving it on the table and the back door unlocked. The thieves took his washing machine !!!!!!!! and left a rolled up piece of paper in the barrel of his shotgun. It said that he should not leave his gun laying around...................................the sheer cheek. Really sorry to hear of your bad n
