  1. Hello, Chokes are a matter of opinion but that sound ideal with those cartridges you mentioned Jd, maybe last year i mentioned going 3/4 full using 28g 7.5s but having a think on this i am going back to 1/4 3/4 when i next get chance of some pigeon shooting, This should get a better pattern over decoys or roosting
  2. Hello, 50 yards !!!!!, ????, your be using a sub 12 ft llb air rifle, i only shot my FAC 22 to 60/70 yards max Hello, forget old tech, i am still using a MK 1 5x42 Photon
  3. Hello, we have given the French millions of ££££ssss enough to pay for more police to keep guard on the french coast yet more boats seem to cross every day, maybe they are in with the traffickers on orders of Macron, Continue de les envoyer !!!! i can hear Macron say !!!!
  4. Hello, From your posts it looks like your years of hard work payed off so well done, we can only dream of such things in UK , keep on posting👍
  5. Hello, it will all depend on your budget and how you will fill the PCP rifle, if you want to buy new or a good used PCP, also budget for a S/F or AO scope if you decide on a rear add on N/V , if this is you first dip into ratting pest control ?, is this on a farm or ??, rats in a back garden is easily done with a red torch, a farm or similar permission would need a better kit, another thought is using a tripod, that for me is essential as for many others ratting, you do not need to spend a lot when starting off shooting, i just bought a Base Optics Quick Sticks Tripod from Optics Warehouse £40 plus post, well good enough for me and have been ratting many years, take a look at the videos on here by Simon and other PW members, it should give you an idea of how best to shoot rats, shot distance, back stop, night shooting, if you only getting a sub 12 ft llb PCP go for a 22, keep us posted how your getting on
  6. Hello, if you want something basic get something like in the above post but your need a scope with side focus or one with AO and best with a low magnification like 3 or 4, The 007 just clips on the rear of scope and easy to set up, it has an on board I/R torch, for short range go 12mm or 100/150 yards 16mm is better, then you can still use the scope in daylight, a new Pard 007 is around £300 or less, a good used one can be around £200, What air rifle are you using ??

  15. Hello, is that a XT or the old MK 1 Photon, plenty of people have done this, There is more info on the UK night vision forum if you look on DIY N/V Radagast has put everything you need to know,, a look on google will bring up lots of info, your most likely need a step down ring , also someone was making a better adapter to take a camera lens for about £15, i tried an old Photon with a Pentax 50mm camera lens and it makes a worth while improvement , there should be a few PW members that have done their Photons in the past so you may get more info,
