EMcC Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Have you considered the Dpt mods, they are made on the same principle as the original T8 but from a modern high grade alloy. I got one recently from Greenfields of Salisbury but I am sure any good gunsmith/shop could get one if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadWasp Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Roedale Delta's are very light and don't alter the balance of the gun. I've shot mine a lot and am very happy with it. Buy from Roedale ( http://wp.roedale.de/en/) direct or through your local non-chain RFD. If you look at an earlier post from me about UK sourced Delta's you we see why I say buy from Roedale. Pete's customer service has been second to none. Don't worry I'm not on commission...I just had a problem and Roedale picked up on it and sorted it out like lightening - excellent service in this age of retail indifference so they get a thumbs up from me for service, and I like the can a lot too so they get a second thumbs up for the product.

maxwell Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 anothe vote for Wildcat (Evo), well made, lightwieght, godd quality finish, easy strippable for cleaning and cheaper than a lot of other mods currently on the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Lead wasp, how do you get round the face to face when ordering direct from Peter L ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadWasp Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 There was a third party RFD involved - Pete will be able to sort it out properly for you. As a separate issue though, whilst we're on the subject - and maybe Welshwarrior can confirm or another RFD - I thought a moderator only became a controlled part AFTER it was actually fitted to a firearm. So, in theory, a person could buy a ridiculously over-spec'ed centrefire mod for their air rifle without a provision on any FAC. Provided it was not purchase for an FAC firearm and never fitted to one it remains a legally possessed part without authority to possess. Is this correct?

welshwarrior Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm not sure to be honest I'd have to have a read but I would not sell you a CF mod for an airgun, I'll only sell you one if you have a FAC with permission to acquire on it.

LeadWasp Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not sure to be honest I'd have to have a read but I would not sell you a CF mod for an airgun, I'll only sell you one if you have a FAC with permission to acquire on it. I agree Daf it would be an odd thing to try and buy for an airgun - I was just exploring the technicalities as I remember a comment made to me by an RFD when I acquired my first ever mod. The whole subject seems to be unclear to people generally. It is interesting to read Jackson Rifles comments (I think it was them) on Council they have received regarding the whole Proof House issue.

Dunkield Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I can't recommend the Aimzonic enough, light and very quiet, and 5 year warranty Backup from Alan Rhone is top notch too. http://www.alanrhone.com/products-aimsport-plus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 i have a Pred8 and an ASE utra which are both great, but Aimzonic is the one i'd buy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 my aimsonic has gone back because if keeps blowing seals after the first shot and shifting POI if a follow up shot is needed, i cant trust it. i am replacing with a DPT reflex type. £255 and as light as the roedale but with a lifetime guarantee. can add more or less modules to suit rifle.

Dunkield Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I have heard of this, but mine has been faultless and I know if see any issues Alan Rhone will sort it. Last person I spoke to said the original 3 piece model has been discontinued and replaced by the Triton which is a two piece design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie g Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 ase cqb or compact superb. the s5 isnt as good but as its all stainless i prefer it now over the other to i had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I will not go past the dpt now after putting one on my 308 could not believe how quiet and light it was... They have only been in this country a few months the local rfd is the sole importer for the UK and Europe nice and handy as he only lives a few minutes away... I have a wildcat compact on my 223 and i think that is great but if i ever have to get another for any of my rifles i will certainly be looking at the dpt...

Last person I spoke to said the original 3 piece model has been discontinued and replaced by the Triton which is a two piece design. After speaking to my local shop it turns out the triton also has the same issues. DTP ordered but no barrel but for me yet. Couple of weeks and it will be sorted I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 those DTP do look good, not come across them before, amazingly light as well, who imports them here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) A mate of mine thats in the same shooting club is the sole importer for the UK and Europe his name is Bill Evans he only started importing then last year after a 3 months hunting trip, to i think it was New Zealand. PS I am so impressed with them I'm going to put in a variation so i can change the mod's on my 243 and 223 at the moment they have the third eye tactical on 243 and wildcat compact on my 223.. and another thing with them is you can get more modules to add to them i have 2 extras ones on my 308 ....
