The big referee used to drive us nuts in the tag-team bouts ( Peter Zackash??), all sorts of shenanigans used to go on behind his back as he was being "distracted" by a protesting innocent wrestler .Used to drive my dad apoplectic RIP Mick.

If i stick in the 5.7mm eyepiece i can read the stewardess` name tag.

Possibly, but looking at your post count your doing more typing than shooting yourself

We`ve been enjoying some very nice weather here for a few days now, crystal clear blue skies if a little cold. Anyway, i have a 8" newt reflector telescope and for a bit of a lark i trained in on the high flying jets that pass overhead. Well, after a bit of jiggling trying to keep the jet in the eyepiece i was mightily impressed with the view. You could read "British Airways", "Air France" and KLM etc.So all good stuff. Then i thought with the internet and all perhaps there would be a resource somewhere that might provide an ident on the jets. Flightradar24.com take a bow. Realtime GPS transponders on board the aircraft tells you where it is over the globe.I zoom into my area and can identify the planes, where they are going and where they came from. I even noticed if you click on a moving plane a picture of that plane comes up, not one like it but that planes registration. As we don`t get too many clear blue skies, even in summer, i don`t suppose i`ll be spending much time at it but it was very interesting seeing how technology educates us all more and more. PS Even at 30,000 odd feet those Airbus 380`s are enormous.

I reckon on accuracy they all are there or there abouts, as previously mentioned some of them seem to be built for juveniles which is why i put a Richards stock on my 77/17. The trigger was way too heavy but a bit of TLC sorted that out thankfully and at £90 odd for an aftermarket Volquartsen unit i`m relieved it did.

Currys staff aren`t very well clued up on their products i find. First off it`s new faces everytime you visit and unless the manager is around they all huddle round the till on their smart phones. Prices are good to be fair to them and they`re open Sat & Sun.

I`m old school. I`d just be happy she didn`t fall for a 16 stone crewcut veggie lezzie with a deep seated hatred for blokes & guns.

Said on radio he had been drinking. Thats the worst thing about the booze, it`s had to make rational decisions when your blocked.

Forgive if you like but don`t forget, put it all down in a book, document times, dates , how it made you feel etc. I know of a production worker who kept a journal on the abuse he took from his manager for over 2 years. Came forward and your man was out the door pronto. Gone.

Airguns are like women, handle a few and see how you get on with them. Daystate for me, beautiful to look at & shoot but everyone to their agricultural own.

For what it`s worth i think politicians are a bunch of self serving egotistical ********** but i could be wrong....

It`s only a habit I was off the fags for 2 years which, you would think, was it done and dusted. Lit a cigarette for a girl i had met and hey ho!!!! So if your off them stay off them cos if you go back on you seem to smoke more to make up for the time you were off them. Best of luck anyway. Ps. Watch out for the weight gain...or it`s gonna turn into love handle central round your waist. The old metabolism slows down you see. I guess thats why models puff away like trains. Tesco`s and some petrol stations open 24hrs now.

Thanks for the tips. I had originally planned to get a Jard trigger but with weather, work and one thing and another never set the wheels in motion..plus it was working out about £90 and that was with a good exchange rate against the USD at that particular time. I see Midway UK have the rifle Basix unit in stock so it`s an option. Thanks again.

Cheers Dougy, thanks for the advice. :blink:

I was wondering if any of you know if it`s possible to modify the stock trigger on a 77/17 HMR. The trigger i believe is set around 6lbs and although i have used it i know if it were lighter shots, especially longer range ones, would be tighter. Kits are available but can the stock trigger be made a little more user friendly? Thanks
