philpot 5,020 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Well after making me go somewhat green with envy when he posted about buying an FX Wildcat when he knew I wanted one, not a nice thing to do to mates. THEN He has the fcuking nerve to tell me that Pickering Guns, where he bought his gun from has a .22 in the shop ready to go to a new home. That really just takes the p1ss. SO What option did I have................................exactly.........................no option, a drive up to Pickering today and that bloody gun was just sat there saying ' BUY ME PHILPOT, BUY ME'...........................................well what could I do....................................I bought the little cracker, what else. Si, thanks mate, for the tip off. Pickering Guns is a gem of a shop with really nice guys in there and I have already talked to them about a .177 version next year. Not sure what the Nikko Laserking scope that came on the rifle is like but I doubt it is going to stay on, I will find that out after I get some pellets through. Trish, my wife, came with me and foolishly I handed the Wildcat to her where upon she said it was likely that she would be taking over this gun as it fitted her very well. The last time she said that, it cost over a grand for her current shotty. I just want to get to the range now and get some time with this little lady, oh yes lastly, I test fired the HW right next to the wildcat and with no real mod fitted on the wildcat as such, almost no difference between them in terms of noise level. I will look into getting an FX screw in adapter to allow for a mod to be fitted and slot on my modular Swift Stumpy mod with only half the length which I think will make it totally silent. A happy bunny... Phil Edited November 26, 2016 by philpot 12 Quote Link to post

The deal I got was spot on, they know how to look after a customer. I can quite understand that these don't appeal to everyone and I don't like bullpups normally but these are just different to hold and shoot for me at any rate. I had a look at the new AA bullpup in the shop (can't remember it's name) really awful thing, feels sh1t in the shoulder with lousy balance. When I get the scope tested and sorted if needed, I will do a review. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
