  1. Nice one! Got an old redundant Kevin Nash oval brolly down the shed doing nothing.. Food for thought now ive seen your set up.. like it. Atb
  2. Nice read Chris.. And cracking set up! How does that timber work (i.e getting in out) Does it slide up and down on the brolly storm poles?
  3. Good thread this.. enjoying it! Way out of my depths all of this today so apologies, i can't help. Played about with triggers and ox mainsprings in some webleys back in the eighties.. (distant memory now) but still enjoy this hands on crack. Keen to see how this turns out tom.. Atb
  4. Had the same problem a couple of month's back.. Being fresh back into the airgun scene and getting my first pcp (after shooting springers year's previously ) I thought they were totally recoiless.. Messing about with various homemade bench rests to get better stability i found if the barrel or silencer touched anything solid my groups went horrible to say the least!! Probably common knowledge to you lads but like i say i'm new back to the airgun scene and thought pcp's were totally recoiless. Goodluck muttley94.. hope you get it sorted Atb
  5. Nice one mark.. Good trigger restraint (leaving the gun at home) and conservation. Why have one desperate dan sized rabbit pie in one go when you can have a few smaller ones throughout the year.. Atb
  6. Left the airgun scene a while back.. and returned 20+ years later! Filled those year's in though with fishing, long netting, lurchers and ferreting. Even as a wee lad at school I'd be out fishing and setting snares instead of joining in with the popular gang playing football/rugby and suchlike..it certainly didn't make me one of the gang but i enjoyed it..just me and surrounded by bird's, animals, streams and trees. Old fashioned and a loner at heart I've been told..well maybe? Or maybe i just feel more at home with just me and nature for company..
  7. OH FECK OFF PHONE!! Will work on the kb lol.
  8. Very well done DJ. Looks like the grub for that auld girl! Atb.
  9. Was wondering that myself.. Been gone only 20 years and wow things changed a lot.. Got a lot of catching up to do.
  10. Cracking afternoon by the looks of things mark.. In cracking company too! ATB
  11. Oh' ek mac.. Bop food = headshots.. NO PRESSURE THEN?? Lol. Hope you have good day tomorrow ATB.
  12. Rats lughole at 30 yds.. nice! Good going Rez..enjoyed that.
  13. Apologies BN..strayed off there. Good going there with the shooting and the perm. Atb.
  14. Discussion with the landowner always a good thing prior ive found.. see what they want Not always.. but mostly what ive found is the ones that like a couple for the pot/or food for the dogs now and again like a few leaving on. Rats are a different story..
  15. Express it is! Thanks for the link DJ (much better price than what i paid) gonna have 10 tins. Can go on for ever testing if you let it..bit fed up of it now to be honest. Think my works done on that front..time to call it a day and enjoy. Cheers lads
  16. These feckers are making it a hard decision.. Half the price with a fps spread of 21 fps..still reading 11.05 ft/lbs
  17. Thanks matt and simon.. Been out of the airgun scene a while now (following other countryside pursuits ) and only shot springers previously ( hawk, excel and eclipse ) so not sure what a good group is like these days with a pcp.
  18. Photie worked.. GET IN THERE!! ☺ Still not decided yet but could be leaning towards the express. Found the AA field 4.52 have the best punch and the superfields least with the express midway. 2 mags through the Combro reading 806-811fps for the express. Decisions decisions..
  19. Pellet testing that is... How far do you lads go before you make the decision which is best and ordering 10 tins? After testing quite a few now up to 30 yds with good and bad results ive weeded it down to the RWS superfields 4.51, AA fields 4.51 and 4.52, and the AA express being the best ( all the above would hit a rat in the lughole at 25-30 yds so there's not much between them ) Keep hearing about pellet on pellet at 30-40 yards and i imagine it been 5 pellets in the same hole?? Not yet found a pellet that can do that yet but almost.. so maybe i'll keep on searching for th
  20. Mine doesn't get on with them Phil. .even at 20 yards when most pellets do okay they were barely hiding under a 5p. They are a very light pellet but i found the quality of them very good i.e damaged skirts compared to others.
  21. ISA's aren't doing that well at the moment..UNLESS you say goodbye to you're money for the next 3 or 4 years and get tied in for that period. Their is risks you take (after all the banks are gambling with your savings) I can't knock my works company pension.. they put in what i do each month (without getting the mountain of paperwork out i think it's upto 7-8%) Also with the benefit of a (plus) big lump sum for the family if I pop my clogs in service. Must state though ive worked there 20 plus years and got no intention of leaving (lotto win considered though)
  22. Find it hard to shoot a couple of woodies when they riding each other.. Many a time i could have had two birds with one stone sort of speak
  23. For what it's worth.. (u lads will know this already ) I only found out recently that chronoing in a nice warm house and then doing the same tests outside there's quite a bit of difference in the power..some pellets were reading 12.20ft/lbs but dropped by half a ft/lb when i let everything acclimatize outside (had me a bit worried to be honest)
  24. That will do nicely.. Thanks alot lads
