Cheers Mac, thanks for the persistence. Looks like it's a t20 with scope mount then. Cheers bud.

Very busy weekend I'm afraid mate, sounds like fun though.

So, now I have an A&M moderator/silencer on order and a primos trigger stick tripod, going in on pay day, I looking for a torch to complete the rifle. I've been flicking through different threads and a CREE (not sure what this is) T20 seems to come up, quite often. Do any of you have any opinion? I'd rather keep it small and light, rather than a big lamp. This will then be me fully set up and ready to get to grips with some hunting. Is it too much to pull out the old Ghillie suit?

Thanks Davy I will definitely take you up on your offer. Work is hectic at the moment! I'm on the Red Devils Freefall Team and we take advantage of blue skies, 7days a week. I'm lucky if I get a day off every 2 weeks. If you don't mind, I'll send you a PM once I've settled down. Thanks very much for the offer, I'm looking forward to it.

I found this link the other day. It may help.... http://www.excalibursac.co.uk/index.php/regional-air-fills

I've eaten worse. Looking forward to getting out once this terrible wind and rain has disappeared.

There's trees and a bank (earth, not HSBC) on the other side, I'm happy it wasn't going anywhere.

Cheers fellas. The rifle is definitely zeroed for the back garden first shot in anger fired through it and I bagged this little fat fella with a head shot, right below the ear, exactly where I was aiming. Thanks for the shimming advice, it worked a treat. I set myself up in the garden, with a 15m firing lane down to the fence to where the rats have been coming through to nibble at the rabbit hutch. He popped his head through the gap at the bottom and lights out. Pellet hole in the image... I'd put out some peanut butter (thanks for the tip Copyu Hunter ) and ha

I have and will likely get some set up. I have some from work, home made, we use them a fair bit, rarely standing mostly seated in hides/ OP's in rural areas. In built up areas they're great for standing, while setting up back from windows in buildings etc. I would still like a bipod, removable would be better, to allow me to get into prone and fire from a more stable position. I understand the rifle isn't heavy and it's not difficult to hold it for extended periods of time, but if laid up in a hide/ ambush on a rabbit run, the more relaxed the better, I think. One of the reasons I'm th

So, now that the rifle is up and running and hitting where I aim, I've made an order with A&M for a marksman silencer and am looking at Harris bipods. Do any of you have any preference in bipod size? I was gonna go for the 9-13 in. I measured the distance from the bottom of the rifle stock and the ground (on a flat surface) when in the prone position and its around 11in, so I'm guessing this would be about right. Also, the area at the front of the S410 isn't very flat, to mount a bipod. Did anyone have trouble fitting one to theirs? I was considering putting it on a pica tinny rail via a

She's back in the centre with room to spare on the elevation turret. Cheers fellas. 30 cm of aluminium foil consertinered to about 10mm wide and a mm thick, cut to fit the mountings and it worked like a charm. Thanks again!

Cheers guys, I'll give the packing/ "shims" ago and have a read of the article before returning the scope.

Talked to the guy in Essex where I bought the rifle and he thinks it may be a scope problem. Gotta take it back when I'm down in Colchester next week. Not a great start!

Could be a number of things but start with making sure the rifles power is where you want it, is it in the "sweet spot?"Check the scope mounts and clamps aren't moving. Does the POI change if you adjust downwards? You may need to shim the rear of the scope to bring the POI within the adjustment of the scope. However, if you've had it spot on and now it's gone off the boil it suggests either a power drop or scope fault. If you're testing in the garden I suggest bringing the range down to 15 or 16 yards to zero the scope, that way you will already be close to your ideal secondary zero at abou

Nipped it up with a Gerber, worked a treat, cheers mate.
