Re: Sportsmatch full adjustable - tips for zeroing?

Thanks Brooksy that is helpful. It looks like I was probably unlocking by more than I needed to, which was making the fiddly process longer than it needed to be. Not having a workmate I have to rely on shooting prone off a bipod. This is enough when using the scope to adjust but I got the feeling th...

Re: Sportsmatch full adjustable - tips for zeroing?

Sure, or rather I'll have a go... m It is the ATP66 model, which should be fine. The issue is the small screws, not on the side of the mounts, but on the face, which puts them under the scope once it is mounted. It is the locking screw that has to be released on both mounts prior to making any modif...

Sportsmatch full adjustable - tips for zeroing?

OK I have set of these mounts for getting the Photon XT zeroed. Any suggestions on how to make this process less painful? I had a quick try over the Christmas break but the fiddly nature of trying to get to the screws under the scope meant it was a nightmare. I didn't get as long as I would have lik...

They are cracking rifles if you can get on with them.

Re: TDR back stud

I use a standard sling, with the front attached to the stud on the accessory rail, and then at the back I have the strap around the stock between the cheek piece and the butt. The sling I have has a nylon strap and a buckle and there is sufficient length to go round the stock and back through the bu...

Re: Air Arms TDR, SO HANDY...

Just to join the love for the TDR I got hold of a second hand one through the old site a couple of years ago and have found it to be excellent. Not the easiest to get used to if you are tall and lanky but well worth persevering with as it is as accurate as you like. Taken all sorts with it, close in...

Re: TDR Value

If he has only had it a week I would say he needs to persevere with it a bit longer. I have had mine for 2 years now and love it but when I first started using it I struggled. Maybe because I am tall and lanky (half man/half gibbon ) but I did find it did not "fit" as naturally as some of ...

Re: And i thought the farm rats were big

ok so it is made to look bigger by the camera angle but I still reckon that is a solid argument right there for FAC 0.25 :shock:
I would ask what it has been eating to get that big but on second thought I really don't want to know.....

Re: Rabbits - new permission

Thanks for the tip Raj, I'll have a word (under safe conditions!)
They had cooled somewhat due to me getting caught in a nice refreshing thunder shower last night whilst gutting them :roll:

All skinned and in the freezer now. 8-)

Re: Rabbits - new permission

Thanks for that Timmy, I'll maybe bear that in mind for next time. They went straight in the fridge after paunching last night, though the missus did insist on them being double bagged to do so! Not got round to skinning them yet, next on the list of things to do but it is just too hot to be wrestli...
