I have a BSA R10 Mk1 (late one with Mk2 internals) with blue mag and a VC moderator. Beautiful gun which shoots bang on ! Too nice / pretty to shoot out and about, hence looking for a work horse rather than a thoroughbred ;0) Regards JonP

Almost exactly 12 months ago I posted the following . . . . xxxx I have been doing some ratting on a local farm for some time now and popping in every 3 or 4 days for a couple of hours. I am using a Hornet Multishot in .22 and Accupells and a Challenger NV setup, and am getting 40 - 50 rats per outing, only just seeing a reduction in the numbers. However, what I have been seeing is a young dog fox. He usually appears within 15 minutes of me starting, and although he must know where I am - I can see him as bold as brass sometimes only 10 yards away standing, or even sitting - just

. I use the Challenger on my ratting rig, having taken advice from Warbucks and using the IR illuminator from Some bloke. Together they work really well with the Hawke Varmint 2.5-10x44 SF. I tend to use the scope on the minimum 2.5 mag as most of the time I am taking the rats at between 15 and 20 yards. The image is clear and the cross hairs in focus - once you have adjusted all the variables (Scope eye piece, Challenger eye piece, Challenger focus, Scope side focus.) But once set - you can just leave it. Totally shootable from 3 yards to 25 yards. I also find that the IR

Hi I have a new client / permission this weekend as a result of some other chaps failing miserably ! I got a call from a local farmer with a rat problem. He had been allowing two lads with air rifles to have free range of the farm and stables for a couple of months. They recently got themselves a night vision add-on (a NS I believe) and were out using it last week when they shot the control panel of a drier - mistaking the red neon indication light for a rat's eye. Unfortunately it is an oldish unit, and the spare controller PCB for the timer / humidity sensors are no longer a

When I said minimal, I am talking on millimetres over air rifle ranges. I am a firm believer that any change to a scope mounting system - however well engineered or expensive, will not hold a perfect zero if removed then reattached. (I have nothing against the likes of Blazer - been there, done that. But for my larger calibres I prefer a fixed mounting system. Shooting out at long ranges, any minute difference is 'magnified' resulting in a different POI - it may only be centimetres at 600 metres, but a change never the less.) Having said that, provided that there is 'repeatabili

I have been using a Challenger NV unit on my BSA Hornet for some time but was not happy with the mounting of the scope, as I was hoping to be able to have the scope move forward when using NV, then back for daylight use. I did try to use a 13mm to Picatinnny adapter but it proved unsuccessful (see bottom picture), so I toyed with the idea of mounting a Picatinny rail directly onto the top of the action. So here it is, a 10" Picatinny scope rail with a dovetail cut into the base. I had it made up by a local engineering firm using a good quality stock rail sourced from China. They p
