No got a super 7 mate,had a simmons whitetail first,wont be buying any of there products again beleive me.

Had the same problem,mine was fine after zeroing(everytime i went out)for the first,second,maybe the third shot,then a mile off,and it turned out to be the scope,for my money,buy a Hawk Airmax,yes there not the best,but i have never needed to re-zero as yet after many hunting trips,very impressed....

The one we have the green filter for now,is a logan,what a wasnt of cash that was,total ****,with the filter on,you got to be near enough to touch the bunnys,near enough anyway,the only thing we use it for is a light just to see our gear,and loading up ect,think it was about 70quid,i must have been mad to buy that,yes i do need the vari power attachment fot the 1million power one we use,but i still think that the green is softer on the bunnys eyes,softer on mine anyway.....

Question:-For a wile now we have been using a red filter,now the bunnys seem to be scared of this now,hasnt taken many trips for this to happen,we use a second lamp,a lower powered one,this has a green filter,it seems to alot better,they not as scared of this colour,but is this because we have used the green less?or is it a better colour for bunnys?Anyway i have ordered a green,and blue filter to try on the big lamp,anybody tell me about this? Thanks....

God knows mate,recently i replaced my simmons whitetail,3.5-10+50,that has turned out to be defective :< so i got a Hawk Airmax 4-12+44AO,now i hate AO,but i thought give it a try,and for £80 didnt break the bank,i zero`d it in 7 shots,and been out shooting 5 times since and the zero hasnt changed atall,im very impressed with the scope,i think the best scope i have ever had for keeping its Zero.Oh and whatever it says there scopes are good for killing,well i have killed rabbits,pigeons,crows,hares,ferrals,ect.with it,i think the advise they give for the best use of there scopes is just SALES TALK mate,but hawk scopes have my vote now...

100times zoom?been out lamping tonight,very,very windy i think this must put most of the rabbits off,must do,coz not alot out,only 4 tonight,and walked along way,mind could have been the very wet fields,and it been a very stary might,maybe to light?

Oh and the big magnification scopes,the reason is i like the 50mm lense,better for the evening shooting,and the lamping...

Yes super 7,dont use any more than 4.75ish on the magnification,i shot the bunny at 97 yards,wouldnt lie,after the first shot it was easy to judge the gap,might have been lucky but was meant,i like just alittle more than 4+mag,just me that,when we go out with friends mag-rimfire 4+mag is more than enough but need to that little bit more accurate with the shots with the rapids...

when i got my rapid,about 6 months ago,i bought a Whitetail classic,3.5-10+50,thought it was good kit,looked the part anyway,but some days the gun would be zero`d,and other days firing all over the place,friends said it could be the scope,but i didnt listen,so after months of changing seals,and messing with the gun,and feeling very frustrated i bought a Hawk airmax scope(not rating hawk atall)the gun zero`d within one mag,and has never moved since,and the Hawk has the mildot reticle,another thing i didnt rate and didnt think i needed,but last night i dropped one at 97 yards,after firing one pellet and seing the poof of dust were the pellet hit,the second i allowed for,and straight hit in the head ,i was very happy,and my friend very impressed,so now i have changed my mind on the Hawk range,and mine being the 4-12+48,boght it new for 75 notes,and the simmons being 209notes,Also when i got the gun(NEW)the valve on the buddy bottle was knacked,and we tried to fix.So therefore DRAPERS of Nottingham sold me a rite load of ****,apart from the gun,which after nearly loosing faith in it,and not beleiving people about how effective the super 7 is,well now im more than happy,and have lamped more than 50 bunnys this week with my Hawk scope,and soon the rookery at the farm will be done,looking forward to many more happy days with my rapid.

yes you can adjust the by turning the rear screw,but flush to action with premiers,you will get about 23ftlbs,27ish one turn in,but for premiers 24 more than enough,but i can shoot 45 shots with barracudas,then they start to drop,then load up with prems and get another couple of mags,just got a boz of 20.5grn exterminators,available from blackpool airguns,they look much better quality,try the light pellets,but you will end up using the heavy ones,will let you know how the exterminators mate.Deni...

Yes got about 13 wazb,let me know if you want one lol

I have received my flying pigeon and crow decoys today,can you give me any advice on how high to have them?and how far to off the pattern,any help would be good thanks,Deni... ,Havent seen these collapsable ones before....

Hello there,im no great expert,but i have stopped using shell decoys,they just dont do the business for me,i now have full bodied ones,standing/standing feeding,and sitting also,and i have a flying decoy on the way,and hope that will do me even better.Deni...

Yes got nets,its just freezin here at the moment,im only 26 and should be able to stand the cold no probs,but 2.5years ago i had bad accident at work,broke pelvis,had 9 ops,and full of titainium,and stainless screws and rods,so the cold effects me badly.And no it doesnt put them off,i have good days with the full body dec`s,just the other day with the shells i had to convince myself they dont work,and they Dont.Im in direct flight line of pigoens,they fly over me every evening no more than 25yards away,yes very cramped for shooting,but it has to be that way,until the better weather,thanks,Deni...

Well i never,only sais you were better shot to help your depression,well you do have better gun,that meteor:shoot is the business,open sights the lot,very jelous.The sparrows,yes can certaily give them a good winding with the gat-gun,had a 30inch group at 5yards today,well pleased with that,tuned it to,put a spring off an old ford cortina in it,oh gives the wrist a bit of hassle,heard your wrist gets abit of hassle? :

I use a pop up hide at the moment,it keeps me warm and dry,i havent tried to use 12bore in it,but i do very well with rifle and .410,they are hard to put back into its original state,but you get the hang of it,also its not so good in wind,well high winds anyway.But i woudlnt be without it on these cold days......

Ok mate,its a very long way anyway,but like to help if i can.Deni....

Yes come shooting with me,but im over in the east,near Alnwick,North Northumberland,if you can make the drive,i have good shootshoot,coming down with pigeons,still abit cold for the bunnies,and a rookery,big bit or land,few hot spots,let me know,cheers,Deni..... ::

Its was ur gun that went of mate,and if the meteor(bsa)had went of mate,the game would have been up,be more careful,maybe get a less powerful rifle,i think the meteor is way to much for you,II KNOW ITS KNOCKING OUT 6FTLBS,killing pigeons at 15yards mate :*) ,and yes you are a better shot than me,but i thnk that guns got alot to do with it.................

I use camo balaclva,(that i wear when in the hide) and i use a pop up hide to great affect,using fac rapid and hushpower .410 for close stuff they fly over my head at about 15-20yards,use these guns because of the noise,that cant be ,im very sure its those decoys that arent quite rite somehow,i always do ok with my full bodied ones,and im learning all the time,thanks everbody. Oh and yes its the main flightline,hundreds pass every day,going to there roost. Could you tell me also wether/what patteren should be used for best effect?

Wouldnt anyway mate,after your last shooting accident,and got sick of you missing everything.........

Well i tried them today in the same place,the same hide as wednesday(on wednesday i only used full bodied)they came but stayed well out of range,it must me those shell decoys,thats the 4th time they have rejected them,so i have bought another 6 full bodied ones,i havent done much decoying in the past,therfore any tips on setting them up,in the correct order ect,but as consilation i dropped 2 rooks at the end of today,so not so bad.Thankyou for the advise people,and anymore would be very welcome,thanks,Deni...

I have alot of full bodyed and alot more shell decoys,but when i used to use the shell ones,there were`nt keen,there non shine good ones,but they could tell im sure,flying away very quickly......

Yes i think it is worth it,30ftlbs with my rapid will kill pigeons/rabbits at 75yards,very flat shooting aswell,yes shotgun liscence easer to obtain,but the advantage of an fac airrifle is you dont need to think like you do with a rimfire so much about thinking were the bullets going...
