    Ye I have tuned a couple, I like them but find them hold sensitive, in my preferred .177 calibre it is a real struggle to get the power above about 10ftlbs which may suit some but I like my rifles around the 11.5 ftlbs mark, so its the .22 that really shines in this model, they really do need stripping out of the box, the last one I did was brand new, the horrible grease and turnings that came out of it, and embedded in the piston seal, was quite shocking, for a brand new rifle, but once done and a Vortek seal added, it was sweet to shoot and accurate, if a little pellet fussy.

    Sounds about right mate if its a minter, and yes they are very good guns indeed,but it needs to fit you remember, so if it needs any altering, a bit of gentle negotiation would be in order mate.

    If you can get an open ticket holder whom you shoot with to vouch for you and say he/she thinks you competent, safe, etc it will strengthen your case enormously.

    It really is Mark, it absolutely loves Baraccuda hunter extreme 9.57 grain, yes I fill it to 180 bar and get I would say 30 bang on shots, really pleased with it mate.

    Want one

    It will be stamped on the gun what model, I.E HW 35 HW77 HW80 etc etc.

    I just got a Brocock concept s6 in .177 very pleased with it, lightweight,awesomely accurate, very quiet, reasonable shot count, so I would lean towards the Brocock, just need to decide if I should fit a regulator now

    Yes its a poxy airgun, but imagine a call to the local station, "I have just seen a man in ........ woods with a black machine gun" hassle hassle hassle, and it looks stupid (in my opinion) why the hell does a fellow want a thing that looks like a machine gun, that spits a pellet out at 550 fps ?

    Good advice, Vortek kits with spring included are very very good, google vortek spring kits, there is a guy in Lincolnshire does them, you wont regret it mate.

    I dont wish to cause offence either mate, but I think the thing looks ridiculous, its like the man with his ar15 clone .22rf, I just dont see the point, and I would imagine a member of the public seeing a man walking round a field with one of them, could quite easily result in the police helicopter hovering overhead, and an mp5 etc being pointed at you.

    The only advantage I can see from fac air to .22 rf is shooting in trees, where a .22 rf would be positively dangerous, from a cost point of view a very decent .22rf can be had on the second hand market for around £150-£200 I would imagine a decent fac pcp would probably cost 3 times that figure, it can never be used without a licence again even if turned back down to 12ftlbs, gunshops seem to charge a premium price for fac air, but come to sell one and they offer next to nothing on the basis that they are hard to sell, if it is a safe shot with a good backstop for an fac air rifle it is a saf

    The last .22 I tuned grouped superbly with Crosman accupel ft but was crap with ftt.

    Yeah I've got two good perms that are passed and I get on well with the land owners too I'm looking at getting an .22 fx impact in the next couple of weeks... Hopefully ! You can run them up to about 80flb and buy changeable barrels, they do a .25..... Could be fun! When I'm back I'll get into the local fac officer, there's a couple of sketchy things from years back but all being well won't affect the application If all goes well I'll be giving you a nod in the future! Cheers Charlie Atb si Anytime pal

    If you have land passed for .22 rimfire or above, I would avoid the fac air, unless you really want one, and go straight for a .22 its not really a suitable rifle for shooting foxes regularly, but will kill them humanely with a headshot at 50 yards or so, once as you say you have a foot in the door, you can apply for a proper fox tool, a hornet either .17 or .22 or .222 .223 .22-250 etc.

    I had one of the latest Yukon photon on my air rifle and on the .22 rimfire, it was very good for the money, I used it mainly for shooting rats from a stationary point (area baited) it was superb on the air rifle for that, but searching round a field looking for rabbits, is a pain in the arse, that is why so many carry a hand held spotter as well, to be honest,I could not bring myself to spend additional funds on a spotter, so have gone back to the lamp, I would have another perhaps a Ward D700 that can be switched from scope to scope,so I could shoot foxes using it on the .243, but I think fo

    now sold thankyou.

    Belated happy birthday lad,keep showing your grandad how to do it.
  18. charlie caller
    I bet a gentleman called REZ will be chomping at the bit for this

    Very good of you Mark, but might I suggest you introduce the concept of him feeding a complete ferret food I.E ferret complete or similar brand, the benefits during the summer months are multiple, the cage smells far less, due to the droppings having a much lower odour, and flies are far less attracted to the cage, than having a semi eaten cadaver, in the nesting box, and the ferrets will receive a proper high fat diet, sometimes lacking with certain carcass feeding.

    Well I would not worry mate, I have a keeper mate with a .2o something year old .22-250 that has shot thousands of foxes,its battered, but still groups 1/2" at 100 yards, you wont burn the barrel out shooting foxes dude, hope it works for you pal.
  21. charlie caller
    Cheers, ye this is the full length one with the ambi stock (Im a left hooker) so should be a decent shot count too.
  22. charlie caller
    H335 was my suggestion,
  23. charlie caller
    H335 powder, col 2.280 start load 25.7 grains,max load 27.9 grains velocity 3885 fps, that should rip mate
  24. charlie caller
    Just wondering if anyone got/had one and what are your thoughts, just been offered a mint s6 concept in .177 for the right money, it looks a nice bit of kit, and I know the guy selling personally and he says its uber accurate, all the reveiws I have looked at seem to suggest that is the case, any bad points lads?
  25. charlie caller
    Is it for sale, if so, how much?
