rsrjerry Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Following on from my post with my daystate red ranger now fitted with a silver huggett shroud i thought i would post this had a good morning in one of our hot spots (see pic) so silver shinny stuff on your guns/rifles is no good Except when it is ? OH and make sure you have got a good scope as well . paying around the £800 to a grand mark just what you need sat on top of an airrifle for those long shots (35-40 yds) Edited December 21, 2011 by rsrjerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) who said anything about spending £800-1000 for an air rifle scope. a bit more spent and you could have had a nice leupold which range from £220 for a leupold VX 1 3-9x40 on optics warehouse. Putting pictures up your asking for peoples opinions and in my opinion there's much better scopes out there than a hawk for your money.....Theres no need to sob.

Catweazle Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 OH and make sure you have got a good scope as well . paying around the £800 to a grand mark just what you need sat on top of an airrifle for those long shots (35-40 yds) When you try it you'll know why. For £400 you can get a very good used scope, it will add to your shooting enjoyment, so it's a no-brainer to me. If we're honest, an AA410 would have killed those squirrels just as well as that lovely Daystate, but you want to use the best. Scopes are the same, the extra clarity, no white-out and good dawn / dusk performance make shooting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOXHUNTER1 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Brilliant outing. Do you still have a good population of Reds near you ? We used to have them all around us 20 odd years ago but sadly now disappeared . Nearest population now I think is Ponteland... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work my friend!! I agree. I have one on my 17 HMR, and have used one on a 22-250 with good results. Maybe not in the same league as S&B, Zeiss etc, but certainly excellent value for money, and when bought new, they carry a 10 year guarantee. Not many other's offer such a good deal.

Lord Geordie Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 10more tree rats feet in the Air! Nice to see somone making a difference I am currently restoring a Falcon FN19 Raptor 8 shot and hope it will eventually get to make a difference on the Grey population too. I also restored a few others recently FN17in .22 Career 707 10 shot Carbine in .22 And a 12g O/U Waiting for the stock for my Ugartechea to arrive to restore that too. Not as stunning as Your daystate but beautiful to me Keep clouting those greys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Holt Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Nice one OH and make sure you have got a good scope as well . paying around the £800 to a grand mark just what you need sat on top of an airrifle for those long shots (35-40 yds) gotta disagree on that one, my scope was just over £100 and the gun is easily good enough for three shot groups on the end of a 12g cartridge at 60 yards.

kent Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Come on jerry, in the right spot at the right time the bag can be exceeded with a vintage open sighted BSA painted bright flouro pink- does it prove anything?
