I've taken similar guns to my gunsmith expecting them to be scrapped - couple of months later they look almost new and have another 100 years of life before them - if you cannot afford/are too busy to restore her then sell her.

Frantically searching for my matching Wonder Woman Bra and Panty set now before looking up the Bus timetables for Lancashire - what time does it open?

That's just about as much sarcasm as a girl can stand Mice! Gonna stop slating Daystates now and pick on the R-10. In a dealers last week when a chap came in and said " Do you have a cheap bag for my R-10" - to which the salesman replied "Yes - I think that's a fair swap". What's the difference between the R-10 and the R-101? - one is a large cumbersome bag of lethal gas contained within a flimsy shell - the other was an Airship. Gloves are off Mice!!

No umbrage here SpringDon - in fact , if you tied me down and tickled me with a feather till I said yes, then the Huntsman is the only Daystate I would allow space in my cabinet - but mainly because of it's looks. As for my user name - cannot recall the last time I used my .22lr - gathering dust since the .17 moved in and sits forlorn buried beneath 14 Shotguns (+/- 1) and a couple of puff guns. Enjoy the Huntsman - LW barrel so should be good.

Are you trying to prove that a Gaystate CAN hit a barn door in that picture? OH - and no - an FAC will not match a .22lr, even if you could rival the FT/LB you would lose out on air usage/supply versus a pocket full of fluff and a hundred HVHP 22's.

Retracing our steps a little r.e. Rabbit's moving upon hearing a pellet inbound - you need to consider that , in many cases, the quarry is already alert and sitting ready to "launch", the leg muscles are tensed and the escape route planned, the very slightest sound can trigger a "bolt" giving the perception of a lightning reaction.

I think Stu may have meant as in a Rabbit facing you head on but maybe head raised so the nose is elevated (scenting for danger) and thus the centre of the target is indeed the nose - a central shot would smash into the nose/mouth area and a little higher might result in a pellet glancing off the top of it's head. Not a shot that I would feel happy taking with an Airgun - LR absolutely no problems - I think he may have worded his thread a little "open to interpretation" but who here hasn't?

And then, as many great British Industries, they were shot down by ignorance, self belief, a total lack of Marketing strategy and financial investment or interest along with a Management team that could not arrange a Bun fight in a Bakery?

Personally I would look for a head that is a perfect cross between a Dome and a Pointed Pellet - the RM8 that I had (and many others now crawling out of the woodwork and admitting it) is the pellet being damaged as it is forced into a breach with very little "chamfer" and off centre due to the retaining ring.

Thanks for that - not eaten since Tuesday so that picture is pure Gastro Porn to me......looks so nice I can almost taste it.

As mere children I guess we all did things that we, now, are not proud of.

Now that's made me smile - thank you so much for posting.

M3 sounds a little small?

If your mag is popping out your quickest test is to beg/steal/borrow another one and see if the problem persists.

As Mice says + not many moving parts on a PCP to wear out - occasionally the seals will need replacing but I've had PCP's go 10 + years and needing nothing at all. Buy used, and wisely, and your shooting will cost you nowt over time when you consider resale value. If you don't want to spend a fortune on a tank buy a used one as before or buy a rifle with a moderate cylinder and use a pump.

Plenty on the bay of plenty - most likely cheaper than your local - £5 ish will get you sorted unless you have been brainwashed by those paid to extol the virtues of Sportsmatch .

IMHO I think that your mounts are a touch too high - your head position could be lower and you would suffer less variation of POI/range.

No - first prize is 20 assorted Golf Balls, pop round when you want to collect them. P.S. Bring a ladder.

Don't beat yourself up about it Mice! Chances are the little blighters are dead as dead can be but they have an uncanny ability to vanish in the undergrowth. Time and Time again I have seen them leg it with a hole through the head so ,following what somebody suggested on here, I shot the last 3 in the chest - they all dropped like a sack of spuds! Beginning to wonder if aim point is relevant to calibre choice.Very well done BTW.

No disrespect intended Mice! I feel obliged to pass on my opinion - when you buy an AA you enter into a secretive world of Hobbit like creatures who spend hours on the Web discussing their guns (and perusing the underwear listings on Ebay) - eventually all you can think about is AA (or 38 B) - we even sing the company song in the morning. Did you not get a CD of the tune and a video clip of the special handshake? Most large towns seem to have an AA meeting once a week - went once but it was full of drunks.

Most Springers are m8 - couldn't put a price on mine - just clipped one today (can't get a groomer for love nor money) - half way through before he lost his patience so he currently looks like an Afghan Hound.

I have been prescribed Allopurinol and Prednisolone - crippled without out them but no symptoms at all if I just take one of each every other day. Not had any regular Blood tests nor worsening of condition when I first started taking them.Both very low dose.

2nd dibs on the Springer Stu.Pretty sure that under new PW rules - you must sell your item now or risk being called a Big girls blouse for as long as we all remember your crime (couple of hours should do it).

Mine was an early version - but I doubt that the Mag has been changed.I think there was a few members on "another" forum fairly recently telling the truth about this gun. What's not to like Mice? AA got it pretty much spot on first time and I regret selling mine - the Cat is no better in any way other than shot count.

Maybe the Treasury would be wise to note that Branson doesn't live in the UK - hasn't done for 7 years.If HM Government want to be high and mighty about tax evasion and general skullduggery they have no need to look overseas.
