Those pill tubs look just the ticket.

I will try out some JSBs and try to source some Rat Sniper Slugs. Might be hard to find here in UK.

Don’t have trouble with heat in Scotand, that’s for sure. Just frozen fingers.

Try starting at 880 and do some trial and error.

Crickets are only air guns, so they will never have much power but they can be very accurate, better than a rimrire.

But it was highly inaccurate when I had the speed at 910 fps, lucky if I got a 3 inch group at 50 yds.

Amazing the a difference 30fps can make – what the is the theory behind this big difference ?

T
hey go through pretty much the same hole at 50 yards. Fairly comfortable with head shots on rabbit up to 60 yards.
Maybe I should clean it, but cannot see much point cleaning air rifle barrels. There is no copper or corrosive combustible residue. Maybe I am missing something…Read more

I have ordered Atlas bipod! I am now getting a bit worried that the Magpul MOE PTS 9 Slot polymer Rail I have ordered is not strong enough to take the bipod and single point sling! Any thoughts or recommendations.?

What benefits does the atlas offer over the smallest model in the Harris range.? I have a Harris on my daystate regal but I do not know much we all about Atlas.

Will have a look at your link.

Thanks again
