That is pretty much were I ended up. I have the regulator at 140bar and it can shoot the Mark 1 heavies at 900ftps. I tend to run them at 890ftps as I get slightly better results. 140bar also enables me to push the standard kings at 920ftps with room to spare. In my experience daystate rifles...

I am getting very good results in .25 shooting JSB Mark one heavies at 890ftps with a reg pressure of 140bar. Also the Juggernauts shot okay at 925ftps with a reg pressure of 170bar. Looking at trying the wildman 39g slugs but will probably stick with the Heavies for popping rabbits out to...

Strangely the UK is mad keen on moderators and so pretty much every firearm is granted with a moderator. Will probably use the large HW mod as it is mousefart quiet even at fac power levels....

Thanks gents. Sounds like the 500mm is the one for me as by the time I add a mod the 600mm will be too long. Before i cement my decision anyone got any data on the 500mm king in .22 to give me solace I'm on the right track?

I am looking getting a new FAC airgun (based in scotland so anything over 12ftlbs requires a Firearms Certificate). The FAC acquisition process is a bit of a ball ache so want to make sure I get it right to avoid any unnecessary admin.... Looking to shoot .22 jsb redesigns at around 930ftps and...

I have recently tested my effective hunting range by attempting consistent five shot 20mm groups in real world conditions (specifically not too windy but not still either). I came to the conclusion my Crown in .25 shooting heavies at 870ftps was fine to 90 yards and my Cricket in .22 shooting...

Thank you for all the replies. A lot to think about. On balance it sounds like a very accurate rifle and potentially worth a try. Currently shooting a wolverine R which is great but rather cumbersome and not very easy to tune so looking to try a bullpup and edgun has grabbed my imagination.

Thanks, I have read about the magazine issue but hadn't thought about parts availability. Pause for thought

I am based in UK and so purchasing an airgun over 12ftlbs on a firearms certificate is a long and dreary process, accordingly you want to make sure you get it right. In this regard looking for any comments on an r3m matador (long) as one in .22 is up for sale and is calling to me. Not a lot on...

I use to hunt with Ragnar, the Czech wolfdog in my avatar until old age sadly took her away. The next year after she passed two foxes took to following me around quite regularly. The sound of my airguns or rimfire now draws them in and they skulk around behind me politely waiting for an easy...

If you're willing to stretch your budget i would recommend the 1-6x24 Delta Hornet which set me back just over £300. Great glass for the money, made in the Philippines and has two great reticles to chose from. Of the sub £200 scopes I have had good milage from the 2-7 Hawke Airmax.

As has been said before try going back to basics. Grab a decent Springer like a tx200, stick some pellets in your pocket and go for a walk about. When I get bored of my pcps or powder burners I always really enjoy filling my pockets with some pellets and wondering around the farm like I was...

I have owned an element Titan and was very impressed with the glass for the money; indeed I haven't seen anything to beat it for the same money. The reticle also scaled very well and it tracked perfectly. I ended up selling it as it was just too heavy. I have since bought a second hand NX8 4-32...

I run hawke's airmax line on my springers, specifically the 2x7 and 3x9. For the money it is decent glass and they are Springer rated so several years in I haven't rattled them to bits yet. Only thing to watch is the reticle is very fine and can go AWOL when looking up into trees 

I have a huntsman and it is very good for off hand shooting, however strangely I get my best results from a Wolverine R as it just seems to fit me perfectly. It is a much heavier rifle than the huntsman but when paired with a 3x15 PST gen ii I rarely miss my off hand hunting shots, albeit I keep...
