  2. Thermion 2

    in Other Pest Control

    Posted

    good afternoon all quick question. Picked up a thermion 2 xq38 .love it apart from my inability to sort a thermal target for zeroing properly. However got it there or there abouts but can if I'm say 50 mm left of where I'd like it the poi to be can I click the desired x across in the zeroing function. Basically how many "clicks" equals a mm at 100 yards on the various mag scales .I've looked on the distructions but it baffled me to be honest.Ā 

    Thanks in advanceĀ

    There really arent a lot of options about .

    You could try rws superdomes (good pellet ) and they tend to just fit inside the old bsa 5.6mm barrelsĀ 

    There used to be a pellet called the vintage Ā (5.6mm ) made byĀ pax Ā but they went out of business a few years ago Ā .

    Designed for the larger boreĀ

    Afternoon all fancied a change and got the .22 goldstar serviced (old one not pcp)Ā 

    The guy said ditch the wasps I was using and use these air arms .great but they fall out the mag .what would people recommend that's 5.6 mm nowadays that's bit more modern (hopefully better) then the eleys? Thanks in advanceĀ

    Had similar experiences check my post out ,switched to hn field target trophy ,,,so far so good was on aa Diablo field ,must of been a bad batch utter trash by comparison ,even changed my scope at one point because it wouldn't hold a zero and thus was a brand new gun with one and a half tins of pellets through it

    I can only agree but I've shot well with it for the last few years no problem ,all of a sudden it's gone to rat s,,t!

    Must be me ,thanks for all the comments and advice lads ,I'm sticking with it and I'll keep you posted ,cheers lads

    The TX is simply the best springer available in my opinion, without wishing to sound argumentative if you are using the correct pellets and cannot get results its YOU doing something wrong.

    stutieb,,I can understand you being a traditionalist and using springers,,BUT time has moved on bud, I loved the hw80 I had but after using a pcp realised what comfy easy shooting is all about, also being able to have that all important follow up shot when things didn,t go to plan,,

    Ā 

    pcp is the way to go for hunting,, yes having a springer for hitting watermelons at 10ft is ok but using a pcp is effortless and also kinder on the quarry your after

    You are right I know deep down my love affair with a gun that doesn't love me back is going nowhere ,me thinks the winds of change are a blowing !

    Oh god yeah I know they are the dogs danglies ,that's one of the reasons why I went down the line of the tx ,couldn't really do with out the gold star for so that long

    Thanks lads for all the replies , you guys are the best ,looks like I'm off to see what trade in I can wrangle

    All the best lads and thanks again

    Can't argue with that. I sold my Prosport to fund another buy 3years ago. When i was hankering after another springer i went for an LGU which is very similar to a TX. Could'nt get away with it at all. Always fancied a 77k which is what i own now although currently residing in SFS awaiting a stage 2 by Tony Wall. Missing it :yes:

    ATB,

    Pat

    Let me know how you get on with sfs tune ,spoke to them a few times but never took the plunge the time it's away always put me off

    Spring don ,I couldn't agree more,tried a 97 but thought arrrgggghhhhh I'll get used to it and work round it mistake I know

    Got nothing against pcps but I'm a traditionalist and can't turn my back on years of springers and growing up salivating over john darlings and Jim wyatt articles

    As always I can't fault the advice from fellow members ,something's got to give ,pat g your rite on the money they are very temperamental ! I foolishly thought 177 was the holy grail after shooting a friends s200 , I know in a pcp it's the way forward but I've learnt the hard way I think , I do think a .22 would of been a better option in a springer ! He ho ... Thanks again lads please feel free to chip and convince me I'm wrong on the 177 v 22 in springer debate

    All the best guys

    I know what you mean ! Had a few storming shots and at times missed a few stupidly easy close sitters ,doesn't seem to be any forgiveness in it unless your 100% it will punish you !

    Evening all , anybody else can't get on with a tx200 ? I've shot springers all my life couldn't bring myself to turn my back on them and go the pcp route ,anyway after a gradual decline in accuracy of my .22goldstar I took the plunge and brought a .177 tx200 hc ,is it me or are they just too snappy in 177 with the short barrel ?

    Picked up my old goldie earlier and couldn't believe how nice it felt in the shoulder and light compared to the tx ! Feel like sacking it off and picking up a vmach kit for the goldie or the dreaded pcp route !!!

    Help ?

    As the crow flies I'm about 15 mins away from SFS , never been tho !

    I have seen Si pittaways channel I subscribe to him and huntersvermin and a few others besides ,

    Thanks for the advice all it is all appreciated , while I decide what to do I think I'll send the gold star off for a service and a tune up perhaps and see what jumps out at me in SFS

    Cheers lads stu
