  1. der iam nick,thicky pm me if you want to carry on been sociable
  2. i have no interest in answering the guy's question! others have done that already,i want to be little your poor attitude and be as equally rude to you as you have been nick
  3. dont be a nob,best place to ask about a shooting related issue is a forum relating to shooting,like this one,if people didnt ask, the forum would collapse,your cant be that anti social as your on this forum
  4. Simon hasnt davy63 and zini had there vhtv spectre spring rifles set at around 10.5 fpe mark,and these guys can shoot a rifle regards nick
  5. i wouldnt get to hung up on power,most springers benifit a detune to around 10 foot pounds,good enough to hunt with and more accurate as they become more uers freindly nick
  6. ive just found out shooting uphill or down hill significantly changes your zero beware as even a slight rise or fall over 25m can catch you out btw iam saving for a chrono nick
  7. i thought my scope was cheap and nasty,turns out i need glasses,hate wearing them for shooting but when i crane my neck enough to see under the rim the optics are really quiet good,so its either shoot well but miss seeing the shot or see the shot miss the target nick
  8. could try using hawke chairgun pro on the generic mil dot scope,it gives u a graph so you can see how your pellets behave at any distance,you will need to chrono your rifle to work out your fpe regards nick
  9. my prosport (springer) will put 12 shots under a five pence piece! nice rifle if you like the cocking system the hornet nick
  10. i take a pic, resize free online,save to a folder then use insert image on the thread reply or new topic bit where you write the words nick
  11. couple of the guys have suggested a strip and re grease to me saying the air arms factory grease is not the best,my rifle is only five months old and i dont to open it up while is under warranty,however,when its out of guaratee i will probably do a mild polish and grease as every firing cycle will move grease from where it should be,but for the time been iam enjoying accuracy/power of these superb rifles nick
  12. simon i shouldered a tx 200 and was impressed how well it balanced even with a scope on it,i find the prosport to heavy for standing shots,both are amazing rifles though as i found out when i fired my mates "datsan" strycker.22,it nearly jumped out of hands,sorry for sounding a snob
  13. it doesnt work correctly with my nikko sterling scope,might as well have micky mouse on my scope cover regards nick
  14. if its as accurate as you say i would leave it alone,the thud you hear is the spring unloading,having your cheek on the stock amplifies the noise through nasal cavities to your ears,for me the noise and slight recoil give my prosport its character,i shot a couple of expensive pcp's the other night and although they were nice,its a real non event when pulling the trigger,also one pcp shot badly at 40m,prosport hit the hft rabbit more times at 40 metres,how smug do i feel nick
  15. when you say loud is it when your firing it or is it the muzzle report when someone else fires it,my prosport has quiet a thud,but one meter infront of the barrel and its pcp quiet nick
  16. i looked at an at 44,but the rate i throw pellets down range iam glad i got an AA prosport,spring all the way for me nick
  17. kids bought me a wilkins pellet pouch for fathers day,beutifully made and english like my prosport regards nick
  18. thanks guys,will probably go with a hawke scope,cash is a little tight at the mo,only getting a new scope on wim, my prosport has become so inconsistant at least it will rule out the scope,and at 200 grams lighter than the nikko sterling currantly adourning her can only be a bonus regards nick
  19. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAO-3-12x44-Compact-Parallax-Illuminated-Air-Rifle-Scope-9-13mm-3-8-Mount-Rings-/370655068372?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item564cc380d4#ht_8691wt_1040 Hi guys has anyone got any experience with this scope,apart from been a little heavy it looks ok,its springer rated comes with seperate mounts and flip up covers also the detachable side wheel regards nick hope the link works
  20. OK with AA field pellets over 20 shots the extreme spread was only fps,washing and lubing pellets has smoothed out the rifle and tightened the group,i dont get daft flyers its a one piece mount with an arrester pin,i have had the scope and mount off to clean and adjust and try differant positions but iam meticulas in checking and refitting, the clamps were tightened down gently and uniformly,
  21. Hy guys,had my prosport two months,in the begining it was great but things have been getting worse,i cant group tight one hole groups that fit under a 5p piece like i used to,have worked really hard trying to be consistent,but nothing seems work and to be honest its not the rifle i was promised it would be,i know iam a newbie but when you have shot well in the beginning after two months i cant hold a group inside 1.5 inches,i have cleaned the barrel tried different pellets,started washing and lubing pellets which has tightened the group slightly,iam now thinking the scope could be at fault,it
  22. Bought some of the above pellet today as the ongoing search for the right pellet for my prosport,first impressions on opening the tin is how well finished they are,really shiney,clean and almost polished,on closer inspection against my usual pellet AAFD they have a thinner waist,less of a dome and what looks a slight ring around dome,havent found one yet with a bent skirt,although the guy at the gunsmiths said the skirts are thicker,but they look similar to the eye,emptied the tin into a mild soapy solution,apart from 50 or so for my mate to try,the water became gray quickly and after rinsing
  23. before i got my prosport i was intending to get a tx200hc,i had hold of a tx the other day and found it much steadier,wonder if the extra muzzle weight helps,also found i could stand and hold aim with the tx,my prosport is to heavy to free stand shoot nick
  24. Fry,i think my prosport is hold sensitive,every now and then ill put 10 shots under a 5p at 25m,but i carnt work out what i do different when the group opens out to an inch and half regards nick
