(Obviously you can still load polymags one at a time - no problem there!)

Discovered this weekend that my magazine (BSA standard) doesn't take too well to polymags. I can load about 4 polymags with no problems, but any more than that and the magazine doesn't cycle well. I suspect it's the plastic tips that are hitting against the inside of the magazine casing - ie...

Clearly a lot of effort has gone into your videos - excellent stuff!

wow!

What else could you build with the parts you've purchased? I often embark on little build projects that end up morphing into completely different things!

Could well be - very curious now, any links I can follow on this? Embarrassed to say I'm not familiar with the mutant!

As sold (ie., with stock shroud) - I would say*: 1st: Kalibr cricket 2nd: FX Impact 3rd: ??? *Based on consensus of opinions from YouTube videos - I do not own, or shoot any of the above!


1.25 group 1.25cm or inches?! Impressive either way, but if it's cm, I'll remove the concerns I raised about reliability in the post above! I think it's possible (easy) to switch calibres between .177 and .22 on the FX Impact (if you're willing to pay for an additional barrel) - is this still...


You just reminded me to look up FFP pricing - pleasently surprised it's not as expensive as I thought it would be, and love that the whole reticle is illuminated (at 24x in the example at http://athlonoptics.com/product/argos-6-24x50-apmr-ffp-ir-mil/) - that's pretty nifty.

Don't own an FX Impact, but my initial concern is that it might be too light. Matt, and Ted seem to have nothing but praise for the lightweight construction (particularly the carbon fibre air cylinder), so maybe it's just my impression of the rifle. I also like the more traditional look in a...

Matt Dubber uses a Hawke Frontier 30 - he says, "The combination of the FX Impact and the Hawke Frontier 30 is undoubtedly the best combination I've ever had." Not sure which HF30 he's using (or what kind of distances you typically cover), but I imagine the FX Impact is so light that the weight...

Oh, I see - image processing? Something like an Odroid XU4 sampling images via a little 1/3" CCD camera, driving servos on zoom and parallax until you're sampling reasonably dense clusters (focused eyes?), within a certain distance from centre to centre? Sound like a lot of work!

The need to eradicate rats on my permission is how I got into air guns. Wouldn't call myself a bulk rat shooter, but I've probably destroyed upwards of 60 so far this year, and I would estimate: Young rat (up to 7" body) approx 1" Adult rat (up to 9" body) approx 1.25" Mega rat (up to 12" body)...

One heck of a punch! Well done, sir!

Hey, how does the ATN xSight adjust for elevation/inclination - does it do it automatically?
