    pile of s**t mate, don't get one. As advised, save up £200 or so and look at a nice secondhand weihrauch,bsa or webley. I had a webley xocet 22 springer which was nice, cost 150 quid, scoped will be best part of £200. Enough for rabbits out to 35 yards.

    Got to love the tench regulator, works a treat. Think I get about 65-70 shots out of my 177, I'd imagine you're getting more with your 22. For the last year I've been using a saik adjustable beam ultrafire torch with red filter and then a laserware red led torch and lamped really successfully. Then went on to use a night vision monocular for spotting as they wised to the lamp and only lamped the final shot, helped with the scaredy rabbits. But now just gone full out night vision to get those which have alluded the lamp. Nice shooting.

    Nice one reaper. Snap! I got three with the T-10 tonight as well! Got in at about 10:00 tonight after a few hours out. It's the first week of using my new pulsar challenger night vision on top of it. Had this for about a year and a half now and love it. Have you had anything done to yours? I bought mine 2nd hand and it came fitted with a tench reg and rowan engineering trigger. I had it serviced by XTX air and it shoots excellently, really consistent 11.3fpe with 177 jsb exact heavies. Love the rowan trigger, I used the normal trigger on another BSA and would highly recommen

    2 more last night different permission before fog moved in and I called it a night. Loving the challenger. Back out tonight as well!

    Finally got a chance to pop out for an hour with the bsa scorpion 177 mounted with my newly acquired pulsar challenger gs x1 night vision add on and nikko sterling nighteater 4-16x44 sa scope. Got it setup last week and with the n1000ap that nvscopes.com speedily delivered to me, it gives a lovely clear image. Stalked this rabbit who was feeding in the long grass of a paddock on one of my permissions. Took the shot from nearly bang on my 37 yard zero. Couldn't take the shot off of the bipod due to the high grass so took off my knee instead from a sitting position. Set the n1000 to the low

    Haha love the autocorrect on my phone. Rowan engineering is what it should have read.

    Get a Roman engineering trigger to add to it as well. Works wonders

    Ask the landowner if you can put up a scarecrow and set off a few crow bangers. Take a picture of your scarecrow and film yourself setting off a few crow bangers as evidence. Then when that doesn't work shoot away! Landowner then knows you've taken non lethal steps which haven't worked, you've got proof of it so you're covered if any dogooder reports you

    I know. Todays looking lovely down here but I'm not able to get out tonight, got plans. Hopefully tomorrow night it stays the same and I can get out again

    Both do the job. Close range ratting go for 22. Rabbits during the day out to 40 yards, 177 works well with its flat trajectory. I prefer a heavier 177. However with a laser rangefinder for assistance, a 22 is just as effective. Get practising first at different ranges to see how the trajectory behaves in either calibre you choose and make sure you can hit a 5p Target everything. At night, which is the time most rabbiting is done this time of year - 177 is superior for rabbits out to 40 yards because its more difficult to judge range at night so the flatter trajectory is important. One wa

    Download chairgun, input your pellet, scope height, fps youre rifles shooting, scope mag and then experiment with different zero distances. See which one would be best for you.

    For rabbits I recommend this, a laserware 1r red led torch with switch. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/231151667369?cmd=VIDESC It's only 40 quid. You don't need to spend 100s on a torch for sub 12fpe ranges. it also have an adjustable beam from flood beam to tight focus. Can reach out to yards or so for spotting on full focus. Dim the beam to flood to take your shot out to 40yards. I found the pure red led is less detectable to rabbits than white light with a red filter. Also comes with normal end cap switch, car charger, wall charger, x1 18650 battery, scope mount and case. Not bad for 40 quid.

    Villaman - definitely agree with you about the jsb heavies. I'm lucky they produce really nice groups for me, my bsa's barrel gets on really well with them. They have a good ballistic coefficient plus their shape and extra weight over most 177s mean they really do hit hard. Defo recommend people who haven't tried them to give them a go and see if their rifle's barrel likes them.
  14. danco1987
    Thanks lads. I'm off out again tonight if it stops chucking it down. Hopefully get another couple for the pot.

    Headed out at 7ish tonight for some rabbits on probably my favourite permission - a nice big, very well run farm, loads of fields and plenty of bunnies. It was pretty windy but hey I wanted to get out. Couldn't be bothered with the night vision monocular for spotting tonight so just used my trusty SAIK SA-6 LED torch with red deben filter. This thing can throw white light for miles and with the red filter on I can still get a good or so yards on full zoom so I can spot from long distances with the white light and then spot closer in with the red filter flipped on. Mounted on my BSA Sco

    The new bsa mags are great, no probs whatsoever. They fit the old and se models

    That will piss off the landowner I shoot for, especially as I go up there often. If he/she says come anytime then do that. Get on with things, get written permission in case anyone asks and then call every now and then when you've got some rabbits for them.

    I use jsb 177 heavies but these are 10.3gr. They're fantastic pellets. My scorpion groups very well with these and with a 37 yard zero it works out at at 1 mil hold over at 47 with my hawke niteye at x9 mag. They hit with a nice thump and hold up well against the wind. 16gr in sub 12fpe 177 though would be a waste of time, may as well get a 22.
  19. danco1987
    Cheers lads. Forgot to mention that I bagged another adult rabbit yesterday after taking this pic at around 40 yards. If the sun stays out, I might go out again tonight.

    I've been shooting one of my permissions now since Easter and have been really happy each time I've taken out my tench regged BSA Scorpion T-10 .177 - it's accuracy is fantastic. I visit it once or twice a week (weather permitting) and have shot 25-30 rabbits since Easter. The T-10 loves 177 JSB Exact 10.3 gr heavy pellets and it produces clover shaped groups at 37 yards (zero range) and 5p sized groups at 48 yards. Power wise it shoots consistently at the 706 fps mark (11.4fpe) and it's topped with a Hawke Nite-eye 3-12x50AO scope zeroed at 37 yards and that gives me a one mildot holdover

    There is a way of of changing a multi mode to just single mod and it I think involves soldering the circuit board inside the torch. Try Google. I got a nice single mod torch off ebay which switch and fitted a deben red filter. Does the job nicely. Try eBay and maybe email a few Chinese sellers which advertise torch switches, tell them the model of your cree and you never know. They'll do anything for a sale. Might have to wait a month for it to arrive but it will more than likely be cheap.

    Hit the mark and it doesn't matter what it is - 177, 20, 22 or 25. Nice shooting!
  23. danco1987
    nice shooting
  24. danco1987
    I bought this secondhand with the reg and trigger already fitted so I've no experience of an unregged one. But for the consistency and shot count it's got to be worth it in the long run.

    Last time I checked - 82 shots from a 200 bar fill. Had it serviced since then though but I'd expect it to be around that anyway. So 8 mags - plenty enough for target work and then hunting. I'd recommend it. Plus the consistency is great - I've been doing some testing tonight results have been impressive. With JSB heavies - Average variation 2-3fps, max spread 7fps. I brought the power down a tad this evening as well. JSB heavies are the most accurate pellet and most powerful I've found so to be on the safe side I brought it down to 11.6 = 711fps av reading over multiple ten shot st
