    Fantastic!!

    It's a good outcome but not the best lead up to it. If I've read it right, you were on the land without his permission? Or without having contacted him in the first place. Glad it all worked out for you but if either of the the above is the case, then you're damn lucky. Could have easily gone a lot worse, not just for you, but also for anybody who did approach the lad in the future. Not exactly doing anything for the reputation of folk who engage in the sport by carrying on like that. If I've picked that up wrong, then I apologise - but the last thing that's needed is more anti'

    There is no backlight - it's an e-ink screen, that's the whole point. For those who've never seen one, think of an old paperback book made on heavy grain paper - you know the slightly off whitish, rough textured stuff. It's almost *exactly* like that. And it's hard to overemphasis the "exactly". Genuinely is exactly like reading a book, so if you need to put light on a book, you'll need to put light on it. They're fantastic for people who read a lot - battery life is well into days as the screen only uses power to change itself, once it's set it doesn't actually use any power a

    Postage to Ireland?

    another vote for the Hawke Nite-eye here. I've the 6.5-20x50 AOIR Mil-dot. It's perfectly suited to anything out to 100m at anything up to mid-dusk light levels.

    Some lovely shots there lad - thanks for sharing and nice work!

    A lad near me has one. .22LR above 410. Gorgeous little piece. He uses it for magpies in his back yard.

    Hawke Nite-eye 6.5-20x50 AO (not sidewheel though) IR. Have one on mine and it's a fine piece of kit for the money - about £235 I believe.

    Wanted for the auld boy who just got himself a '100KT. I have one for my .177 and he loves the idea of it for target work - he's also used to a '90 and just finds the one shot operation gives him greater peace of mind when he's putting the gun away (This does not infer anything about his safety practices - he's perfectly safe but a worrier and this is just what he's used to). Based in Ireland so will require postage - happy to pay by PayPal. On another note - I'm hoping to do a performance assessment of both rifles in the next week or two (the .177 FAC vs. the .22k). I found it tou

    The number of AF zones is largely irrelevant - what you get for your penny with the top end cameras is better colour depth, better textures and less noise at higher ISO's. Having said that - the 5DmkII is a complete gamechanger - it doesn't have the colour depth of the DSmkIII (24-bit vs. the '5's 22-bit) but the textures are phenomenal and the low light performance is superior. It's also got the DIGIC4 processor and the best screen on any camera I've used yet. Only reason I haven't shifted my DS's on for them is that they don't have dual card slots and most of my work is weddings so t

    hello if your house gets burgled who will you call if someone is driving at 100mph answering his phone and kills a member of your family who will you blame my brother was in the forces in ireland for 15 years and then joined the police force he now gets spit on and abuse shouted at him all the time from stupid little whimps with to much ale in em god save the queen and for gods sake please save england so remember who you gonna call and it is not ghost busters Forest dude, chill a little - this is the internet - it doesn't do to be too sensitive. Very rarely anything meant by it

    Would have to agree with the above - can't imagine anything else being any quieter.

    oh and those prime telephoto's - I'm not familiar with the 700mm, but the 800mm f4 is around the £12k mark. ;-)

    The camera back is largely irrelevent these days - save for the very top end stuff where you're significantly concerned with textures and colour depth. It's the lenses that are all important. I shoot with canon's myself, have a DS MKII, a DS MKIII, and a old 50D for the sake of the focal multiplier. Best Canon lense setup bang for buck these days is the 70-200 f2.8 IS lense coupled with the 2x extender and thrown onto the 50D (or any other model that's not full frame - so basically anything except a 5D or a DS series). Total combination gives you 224-640 @f4 with IS and the whole lot will

    oh stinger!!! someone's gonna be kickin' themselves.

    Getting back to the original post - First of all that's a HUGE cell for that sort of money!! In fact, I'd be highly inclined to point a few of my motorbike racing pals in it's direction as that would be absolutely ideal for a total loss setup. Beyond that though, that pack has a few obvious pro's and con's: Firstly, the charger must be built into the pack - you can't have a cell stack that size and not use a balance charger, it'll just kill itself in jig time and usually with spectacular results - so there's no way in hell that little wall adapter is the actual charger (and if it is,

    Howdy all, I'm afraid I've already popped my cherry on another thread - not exactly best forum etiquette, for which I apologise, but I hope it'll be far from my last post on here. I'm from a shotgun background but started getting into air a little over a year ago with a local 10m Olympic club. Have been really enjoying the technical nature of the 10m stuff so figured I'd have a glance into the outdoor hunter/target end of things. Decided to stick with air as it's cheaper to run and quieter, the latter simply being a personal preference as I live in the countryside and wouldn't be

    Howdy guys, Proud new owner of a HW100 and just reading around for now - will post up a proper into in a bit. I know this thread is a few weeks old but felt I might be able to clarify where the whole muzzle turbulance thing comes from. Pianoman is bang on - it's absolute nonsense where any projectile with a proper barrel seal is concerned. Where it *is* actually a concern, and where the practice originated, is in paintball - ie: where you have a very poor barrel seal and a seamed projectile on a non-uniform axis. It's quite common in tuned paintball markers that one will no
