andyfr1968 772 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Maybe a washer or shim to take up any slack on the screw, or perhaps a little padding between the stock and the action? Even PCPs recoil a little bit because of the hammer action and the pellet moving down the barrel. Any movement between the action and stock is not best unless it's been designed to be that way but from looking at the FX as pre-charge, I can't see that being the case. Like I said, I'm no expert on these so don't take my word as gospel. Maybe best to contact FX direct. Quote Link to post
KurtH 74 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Just tightened it up as best as possible. It's not loose as such. It does need pulling away from the stock for you to see movement, and you can hold it by the stock, turn it upside down and shake it and can't feel no wobble. Think it you physically have to pull it up to notice it.... Thank God It's not a fraction as bad as a Daystate Air Ranger I used to have which was like it as new Edited October 2, 2013 by KurtH Quote Link to post
KurtH 74 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Looking at the pics on here of the Indy:- http://tedsholdover.com/2013/08/08/fx_bobcat_indy_bullpups_arrive/ The Indy has a second screw through the Picatinny rail underneath at the front, and inside the stock of my Bobcat, you can see, there's a partial whole in exactly the same place, but it doesn't go through, so these both have identical stocks, but the Bobcat only has one screw, so I guess it's supposed to be like it is Quote Link to post

KurtH 74 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Kurt that's mint. How much do they retail at? Is there a wait for them?Solware charge £1398 I believe and BAR charge £1198. When I contacted them both, they said they sold out straight away and it'd be about 10 weeks before the next lot arrive. However, I found Shooting Supplies Ltd were advertising them. Got it for £1210 and £16 postage. I think he said he had 3 in. I ordered mine on Tuesday morning and it was with my RFD on Wednesday. Great service Edited October 3, 2013 by KurtH Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Oh.....!! You have some patience. I would have had a 500w halogen spotlight mounted on the scope and would be shooting the crap out of everything in the garden by now. I'm not so fussed about the grouping as you may be a shit shot. How it handles and shoots etc is what I'm interested in. Atvb Quote Link to post
