Kral NP 02 , A tiny little gun , left side cocking lever , huge shot count. Not a fortune.

As above , follow the XTX Video and you cant go wrong. The reason the O rings fail , is filling the gun too quickly , it simply cooks the o rings. So, when fixed , fill it slowly.

Three in January, 2 Boars 1 female. 152 -
There are still very few turning up at feeders in the woods. and those that do , are very wary. I've only managed to bag three , since the turn of the year, despite the feeders being topped up and hours , spent shivering in the hide. Still , on the plus side , the amount of small birds coming and going is a beautiful thing to see.

Hi, all the above advice is good, and yes a well shot springer can be just as accurate as a pcp ,( the same as a 1959 Morris Oxford will get you to London, the same as a 2023 Aston Martin, its just easier in the Aston). I tried a cheap pump, of 'tinternet' and it didn't last long at all , so bought a Hill's pump (British made) and its been very reliable over the past few years . So much so that I only use my air bottle, when my ancient back is giving me jip . A BSA Scorpion se .177 is the same as an Ultra with a longer barrel and air tube , Very underrated. and as accurate as you can be.

Two of four shot out if the sweet chestnut trees. With the £40 . 20g Baikal. 3007 -
I always desired a Huntsman , and was thrilled when I could eventually afford a Regal FAC. There were so many little annoyances with it, I was pleased to trade it in for a much better rifle. A BSA Scorpion se FAC. My very humble opinion .

I went fishing on the Trent and Mersey Canal, caught a dozen or so tiddlers. But , just got frustrated watching half a dozen tree rats, in the Oak, and Hazel trees in clear view. on the opposite bank.
-
Nothing ! Absolutely nothing being touched. No barking to be heard. Loads of acorns , a few hazel nuts , and sweet chestnuts not ready yet . Ive never had it this quiet for this long (6weeks). I wish i could get some “ratting “ perms to stop the boredom 😂
-
Sorry , sold pending pickup . To Agriv8.

Beautiful rifles , accurate and will last a lifetime. Just damned heavy to cart around on pest control.

Up tp 21 ft/lbs , I used JSB Express 14.3 , above that , up to 30ft;bs I used 16g or Hedes, Always been happy with the accuracy. But, the BSA Barrel accepts most pellets.

I have a back injury , so getting rid of now unused stuff . 4x Solognac hide poles . 1 ex army Net 6 Fudds , 3 shells , 2 bouncers/flappers . With poles and anchors . 1 bucket seat , with revolving lid and carry strap. I would like to get rid of it without splitting it as it would make a beginner a cheap starter kit . All usable. collection Warrington Cheshire £75

BSA Scorpion se, is one of the most underestimated ignored air rifles,but,one I can thoroughly recommend. I got rid of my Regal, because it simply wasn't as good as the BSA, end of.
-
Nothing on my feeders for weeks and weeks. So, going fishing .
-
Exactly , i caught 2 lads with thermal , about 2 go on a golf course permission of mine , Fx air rifles as well. So no shortage of top kit . They got arsey when challenged , but did leave .But it was obvious they had previously visited.
-
There are a few rabbits returning on my perms, buy not in great numbers . RVHD TYPE 2 decimated huge numbers . I have also found that as tech gear has got better , and more affordable , taking greater numbers became easier. If you take all the breeding Does of a perm , the next generation will not appear.
