    Will second that, chambers have always been polite and helpfull, but 35 quid for a foresight is a bit steep so hoped someone would have a second hand one cheaper. Will keep looking.
  2. Edgar
    Cheers lads I had seen the ones on ebay but I know fine well I can get one from chambers for 35 quid but thought I might get one cheaper on here.
  3. Edgar
    Probably both the same accuracy wise. Try them both if you can and see what one ballances better.

    Hi all, I posted this in the wanted section but no replies,please help. Hi all. I am after an HW break barrel foresight in good condition with at least one insert. The foresights are the same for all the break barrel models. Will pay £10 for one in good nick with one insert or a few quid more for one with all five inserts. If you have one you want to sell send me an e-mail at bourne.richard@googlemail.com Thanks.

    Would go with Hw99 myself, 200 new so should get a second hand one for 150, sorry Andy.

    Just found H and N do a .20 hollow point, maybe try them?
  7. Edgar
    Had a look for you but nothing, thought maybe bisely practice might come in .20 but no. Maybe a heavier, slower pellet might help, bisely mags perhaps?
  8. Edgar
    Fair point, just saw them and wondered if they were any good.

    Hi all, haven't been on for a while. Has anybody used those see through mounts which let you look under the scope and through the open sights? Am thinking of getting some but wonder if they are solid enough. I want a one-peice set as I woukld use them with my springer. I think they would be good for when your quarry is so close you can only see a blurred shape and need to aim high. Anybody had any experiece with these?

    Hi mate, good rifle, the E is the rarer delux version of the 35. Wont do 12 very happily though, a smooth 10.5 is the best you can hope for which is fine for hunting at medium range. Value would depend on condition.

    I think the grub screw is imperial, so you will need an imperial set of alen keys. I have this rifle, webley sold a muzzle break for it, it's not a silencer but it looks good, nice blued finish and keeps the gun original. I have one spare since my tracker is only an open sights plinker, do you want to buy the muzzle break? It has a few scratches. PM me for details if you want it.

    If you want to spend money on it buy the trigger upgrade from chambers.

    Don't understand phantom, vulcans are around the 10-11ft/lbs mark anyway so if the pellet spends less time in the barrel it must be going faster and so the rifle would be more powerfull? I would leave it, if it's not broke don't fix it. Should be good for bunnies to 30 yards.
  14. Edgar
    I would leave it, people make too much fuss about barrel length and I can't see the need to cut down such a nice rifle. If you must do it get a good gun smith to do it so it gets properly re-crowned or accuracy will suffer, it may anyway as you will loose the choke.

    Hi all, my .22 springer was loosing accuracy, kept getting inch and a half groups at normal ranges. Cleaned the barrel and what a difference, half inch groups straight away, don't think it was that good when new.
  16. Edgar
    Looks better than the one I made. Worked fine for 50 shots then wouldn't work as the metal had bent .
  17. Edgar
    Well if you miss a little .22 does more damage. You can't go far wrong with a good .22 cal rifle but people should try both and make up their own minds.
  18. Edgar
    .22, leaves more room for error.

    I personally think FAC air rifles are a waste of time. If you have an FAC get a rimfire, they are quiet, can be used for close range foxing and can be used with smaller loads for barns ect. 12ftlb air rifles are great tools, perfect for pest controll in barns, not so good for rabbits and crows due to their limited range. I'm not slagging 12ftlb air rifles, they are perfect for anybody who wants a bit of inexpensive sport or some well shot rabbits or pigeon for the table but doesn't want the trouble and expense of a licence and cabinet.

    No need for expensive gadgets, not usually much time either. When walking the dog or whatever just stop, estimate the distance to the next tree or whatever and see if you were right. After a while you will get pretty accurate. There are things to help you. If stalking alongside a fence estimate the difference between posts and work it out that way. Be carefull in sheds, they are deceptive. Pace out your shoot next time you are there and you will get to know how far away things are. Or shoot from a hide with rocks left out for range markers where game is likely to appear.

    I have no experience of the lightening but would imagine so, after all it's the same gun in a different stock. Maybe ask your local gun shop nicely if they could check for you.
  22. Edgar
    Hi good little rifles, buy a trigger upgrade though. Price depends on scope. 150 doesn't sound too bad to me.
  23. Edgar
    Get the 95, you shouldn't go far wrong. No open sights but not a problem for scope users, comes with moderator. You can buy one of the DIY kits you buy and fit yourself, v-mach are suposed to be good and cost about £70 from BAR. Or you could send the rifle off and spend a lot of money for proffesionals to tune the rifle for you. The sky is the limit with air rifle tuning.

    Hi all, usually get accupells (£10.25) for my HW but went to tackler shop the other day and no accupells. Shop keeper showed me a different brand of pellets. They had crosman premier and ultra magnum writen on the tin(£8.99). Shop keeper opened the tin and showed me the pellets. Had a few accupells in my coat pocket and what do you know it was exactly the same pellet. Same tin too just a different label. Are they the same or could it be that that tin of pelets had the wrong label on, maybe they are made at the same factory? Sorry if every one but me knew that but unless that tin had the wron

    Hmm sports match are usually pretty good, could it be the scope? But wherever possible one peice mounts are always better. An arrestor pin is a good idea, a pin on the scope mount that fits into a hole in the cylinder. Weihrauch's have these holes drilled, out of the box, don't know about theoben, does your theoben have holes drilled between the dovetails? If so buy a one peice mount with an arrestor pin. Just noticed you didn't actually state theoben, does your rifle have holes drilled?
