Name and blame my friend. That way we can all stear clear.

Looks like its been dropped into a bucket of Mecano!!!!

have to agree with the lads here. I should have gone down the HW100 route but went for a cheaper Daystate Regal. I would put it up against any or the HW rifles now but has cost me loads to get it to that level. The HW100 will do what it says on the side of the tin. Straight out of the box.

I agree. I practiced for weeks at my club to make sure I could hit that half inch target every time at 25 yds. I then did as you have suggested and downloaded Chair Gun which taught me about pellet trajectory, distances and retained energy. Printed off a scope cap for my chosen pellet and then set off on my first hunt for the bunnies. the only thing none of this taught me was how to judge the bloody distance!!! So, not wanting to wound anything (cardinal sin in my book even though it will happen from time to time) I decided to invest in a small range finder and the world opened up to me.

No disrespect Simon but you paid £800+ on a gun then spent another £120 to get it to work like it should out of the box . At £800 i would like a gun to work with out power issues ,shroud rattling , pellet dropping into the hammer system , powder coating coming of and at that price it should be regulated in the first place . Yes the 110 is having a few problems ,mine has gone back for drop in power ,but so did both of my HW100k's . The difference is HC has picked it up without any fuss unlike daystate . Daystate ask you questions and the put the blame on to you ,until you mention trading s

I had a nightmare with the same question and said no to any issues at the time of making out the form. However, not mentioning a spate of depression which stopped 12 months before I made an application came back to bite me in the proverbial. The question defo refers to the hear and now and the fact that they will contact the doctors means they will get all the info they need any way. But no, I got questioned and told in no uncertain terms that I should have mentioned it as it looks like I was trying to hide the issue. (I can understand the reasoning as no one should be handling fire arms wh

Does anyone have an ida when these are going to be in the stores. I am in the market for a night vision scope and was going to invest in the LRF970, However, I was reliably informed that the new N250 is cheaper and better so decided to wait a while. The problem is that the N250 is no where to be seen so we have no reviews to be able to compare the two models. I thought i would drop this post onto the forum just to see if anyone had any information. If not then i just have to wait i guess. Thanks in advance for any comments. Colin

Temporarry or permanent permission wanted for Midlands area. 17HMR and 22LR plus 177 sub 12ftlb and FAC .22 aire rifles. Currently hold permission for 450 acre golf course but really want a farm permission that will give me more flexability and more frequent shooting opportunities. Only have 5 years to retirement so need to get somewher to build a relationship for the future. Please PM if anything available. Cheers

Interchangeable Barrels
Badgerdaddy replied to Badgerdaddy's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Thanks Dave and to you Walshie for the advice. I did not consider the re zeroing of the scopes after changing barrels and certainly could not be done with having to go through the process of doing so. Thank you for saving me the grief. I will now leave that idea out of the equation. The CZ is going to be high on the list unless any one has other comments tat may make a change. Real big thanks again to you both -
Dear All I could do with a little advice as I am now the proud owner of an FAC for 17HMR and .22LR. I have been looking at what you all use in these calibers and surprised to see a lot of CZ,s which I have also been looking at. They appeal to me for price, looks and also popularity. However, what I would like to know is what is the difference between the models such as 452, 455 etc, etc. I also need to understand why I don't see many interchangeable barrel models being used and is that a normal set up would be to have two separate guns in the cabinet rather than one and two barrels.

Hi Lads and lassies I have been clearing out the shelves and decided to move some stuff that was purchased incorrectly (long story and one best discussed with my psychiatrist) or just not needed. The first is a Nikki Stirling Mountmaster 30 SF 4X12X50 which is new and not used. I have attached mounts to it but never used in anger. These are the real low end market scopes but supprisingly good write-ups if you check them out. Brand new they are £55.00 from Uttings so I am asking £30.00 collected from Birmingham or £40.00 posted. The second up is a Hawke Eclipse 30 SF 6X24X50IR wh

Hi fellas The Daystate is back and sporting a lovely carbon fibre moderator. As far as the gun is concerned I can't begin to tell you just how good it has become. It has changed in operation that the pre Airtech Regal is no where to be seen. If Carl was a chef hen he would be a chocolatier because this thing is as smooth as the finest Belgian confectionary I kid you not. I have produced the best card I have ever shot at the club tonight. 1 ten shot mag at 25 yards and all in the bull at a size half that of a five pence piece. ok it was off a bipod but come on lads I have only been shoo
