Cyber Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I am loving the look of my Ranger. It has a RWS 500 stock on it in black, a polished Bisley adjustable butt pad, A realtree sling, bipod, and finished off with an AGS 4-16x50 vipir scope. (I have posted pics before but not with the bipod and sling) What you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 stunning looking rifle, i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Yeah that looks nice. hey Cyber, quick question. I noticed today that the bottle on mine and what the bottle attaches too is wobbling slightly. Any thing I can do about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Cheers guys! Cupra, assuming the RWS bottle attaches to the rifle the same as the Ranger does (I know they are the same rifle just didn't know whether Daystate had made any alterations or not), then have you tried taking the stock off and having a look? The bottle will be attached using some allen key looking bolts although an allen key won't work judging by the look and will need a special shaped tool. If you find that it is these that are lose then you might be able to come up with a tool that will tighten them but if it was me doing it I would either get someone from my local shop to have a look or if you want to try it yourself, I would make sure there is no air in the bottle just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps mate I was thinking just that. There is an Alan Key type bolt underneath near the refill valve. I will see if I have a tool to tighten it, if not I will get it to my local shop.

LB should know as I think he has had his RWS 500 converted to FAC by greenfields. I know someone had a X2 converted by Daystate for £30!

bunny bagger Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 thats one hell of an outfit, looks like something out of star wars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 lol, star wars?? I was going for the military type look. I think I pulled it off. Than ks again everyone. Also Naddan, I would really love to try the 80ft/lbs version!! I wonder what sort of range you could use it at though as that has got to be rimfire type of power surely?? Me and a friend are hopefully applying for our FAC's next month but not 100% yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and a friend are hopefully applying for our FAC's next month but not 100% yet. Apparently they are good out to 100yds from a review I read! Now that is impressive, I am considering FAC and wanted a rimfire but worried slightly with backstops, so considering a ultra high power FAC air rifle, so either an air ranger or theoben.

Cyber Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 hehe me to. I am wanting to get either a rapid or another Ranger on FAC and I think I am leaning towards a .17HMR (if they will pass me on this) a Sako quad or a .22 lr. It depends on how the FAC application goes I suppose. The guy I am buying the nightvision unit off has a Ranger at 80ft/lbs. I will speak to him when he calls me next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_milker Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 that is a lovely looking piece of kit. what make bipod is it and how much did it set you back? hope you dont mind me asking, but i am looking around for one myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 sorry for the late reply. It is a 9-13'' Rockmount swivel Bipod. IT is absolutely spot on. Exactly the same as the Harris bipods but around £20 cheaper. This one was £77 but I am sure you can get it cheaper. Thanks for the replies again guys. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 there is a guy on here that sells Harris swivel pods for £65 - do a search in the for sale section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 £65 is a mint price. My mate is wanting one so I will let him know. I have also just got AS Pro Digital Night Vision Add On unit for this. Haven't really had the chance to give it a ggod go and it needs setting up but so far it is fantastic hehe.
