Discovery ffp works really well , hawke vantage , hawke airmax , west hunter Have a look here brilliant person to deal with https://premium-quality-air-rifle-accessories.ecwid.com/

You are better off with normal scope and pard 007 for night . Imo 008 in day time is no where good as a scope

Thermal spotter pard 007 is all you need or just a pard 007

Slugs will work from 880 fps if your gun is set up . I use either H&N 21 gr 218 or ZAN 21 gr 217 , but find ZAN slugs deform more on impact . Both accurate at 100+ yards

Trouble is most are looking for the holy grail

Tried makos slugs but could not get them to work in my guns

Some interesting points to take account of . I do shoot .22 FAC more than any other gun running at 950 fps with ZAN 21 gr slugs . Might look into 177 FAC a bit more , specially for a few squirrel & wood permission’s, 9 hole golf course / small sporting centre I have , but can’t complain with kill rate with .177 sub 12

I must admit love shooting 177 sub 12 @ 810 fps with 7.9 gr JSB express . Now it’s got me thinking about one in FAC , but I can’t see any advantage over the other two Cals at the moment I shoot both .22 & .25 at 25 -100+ yards and wonder where 177would fit in

So why is it not that popular Stu , you are the only person I know of owning one . I have asked at several clubs to see if anyone is shooting one , get a vary strange look when I asked 😁

Any point in FAC.177 ? personal I can’t see no advantage , in fact disadvantage over .22 &.25 and have read that .25 is the ultimate cal for FAC air with speed , weight & size . is that why not many have FAC .177 . I only know one person who swear by .177 FAC I think he might be on this forum 😁 what are your thoughts

Ultra are very good , but needs a reg fitted . Wouldn’t sell mine though and had it tuned with reg fitted If you want the best off the shelf sub12 then HW100 K , I also have one these , you don’t need to touch them for years and years

Reported back to ZAN with my findings and he is making me a new design in 10 gr slug . ZAN and his company are absolutely unbelievable how many would go this far . I have tried most British companies for slugs , just wish the attitude was more like ZAN !!

Yes a few are looking in to lead free slugs now and hopefully might be testing a few very shortly

Accuracy is not a problem but low ftlbs is and will not shoot vermin less than 11ftlbs

Slugs are definitely more suited to FAC ZAN slugs in .22 & 25 are some of the best I have tried on accuracy & expansion even out to 150+ yards

Tried the both the 10 gr ones last night in my HW100K & ultra . Accurate out to 40 yards but HW running @9.75 , ultra 10.8 ftlbs so lower power than pellets

Yes free and postage payed for as well

Received these slugs from ZAN today to try FOC including postage What a great bloke & company to deal with

Had three in the past but couldn’t get on with them . Much prefer the ultra out of any of the BSA guns and specially after a reg and tune

Yes and me

Well I have more ZAN .177 slugs coming next week in different weights to try . Will let you know what they are like . I am impressed with 10.3 gr ZAN slugs so far that’s for sure

JSB heavies 11.6

All depends on the gun and gun tune like I said had the ZAN slugs running @ 11.3ft in my regged BSA ultra and low 10 high 9 ftlbs in my HW100k

Well you never know until you try and like you said a regulated gun is probably needed . I am achieving 11.3 in my regged ultra . ZAN is sending me more but in different lighter weights , hopefully suits sub 12

Cloverleaf is a very knowledgable just a shame he is only on that **** forum
