  1. Apparently there is an App called imazing on the app store which will transfer apps from one I phone to another The only place you can still download Strelok pro is the Galaxy store if you have an android phone or the Huawei store if you have one of their phones It has been removed from the PLay store and the App store.
  2. I help a friend with pest control on a regular basis and Rabbits are the main thing he does, I use a .223 with a 40vmax which does the job very well out to and beyond 300 yards, I use a Tikka CTR and just head shoot them, not much left of it afterwards but it's a clean kill, I also use FAC air and a 17hmr ( My least favourite rifle, if someone said you have to cut one of your rifles up with a angle grinder it would be that one ) also .22LR It depends on noise and proximity to buildings as to what I use, all effective though.
  3. Excuse me butting in, Is that a 700cc bottle on your Impact m3, what sort of shot count are you getting, mine has the 580cc Bottle, just wondering if a 700cc is worth getting. NV wise I dont think the OP would go far wrong with a DS35, I have one and for the money it's a great unit.
  4. Never needed anything bigger than a 40 Vmax point and shoot to 300 yards

    Pard DS35

    Once you have one in your Hands it make perfect sense to have everything built in to the Scope, I'm with Bruce on this. I was out the other evening with the DS35 not mounted to a Rifle just Hand held, I could clearly see Hares out past 400 yards, Then discovered you can Spot and flood the beam by pulling in and out, Something that I didn't see in Chris Parkins review, and I have to disagree with that review saying the the onboard IR is only good for 150 metres, I could quite happily Id and shoot a Fox @ 250 - 300 yards with the onboard IR, If anything it's too powerful close in at say 40 yards, So if your a Ratter with a Air rifle maybe just a good old T20 LED based torch would be enough and give a clearer Image. I have yet to test the Ballistic calculator, but I'm sure it will work fine, it's just a case of entering the correct data. I bought this to go on a FX Impact M3.25 FAC Air rifle and it will be perfect for that, in the meantime I will stick it on my 22.250 too see what it's like on a Rifle. I have looked through enough NV units to know it's Pretty good value for Money, even if it does look like the Star ship enterprise:)
  6. Yes, Lovely Rifle and on my list, My mate bought a .30 Cal one based on my recommendation, He wanted a FX Impact, but knowing what a techophobe he is< i said get the RAW it will work straight out of the box with no tinkering.
  7. 5-600 yards is easily achievable with a Sirius Xtl I use this torch over all the others on myDrone x15 done extensive testing with the Drone because I’m always making mounts for them. I have a Dragonfly which is a dirty light, but also at least with my Drone is too powerful the Drone camera starts shuttering down because it’s too bright, so of limited benefit, I much prefer the clean light of the Sirius Xtl the diffused model works a treat. For the interest of research, I will replace the laser in the Dragon fly with a VCSEL laser, to see if it’s clearer
  8. That's why the Rapid platform is so popular, it only has a few o rings, I have a Rapid MFR I bought new in 2003, other than 1 bottle o ring it's completely standard and untouched, British engineering at it's finest.
  9. I have a .30 cal FX Bobcat, its really good been using it helping a mate with his pest control business, we are doing a College sports ground where its a built up area, people walking Dogs etc, but with a silenced air rifle ,no one knows your there. I also have a Modified Rapid mk2 in .20 and its the most accurate air rifle I've used. I have 22LR when I need it, but there is something about an Air rifle. Quite fancy getting a Mk3 Impact
  10. I Have looked through a lot of Thermal rifle scopes over the years, pretty much all the top end stuff including a GCSI 75mm 640 sensor which retailed at £14k and nothing i have seen tops the Senopex A7 I'm sure there is some Military stuff that's maybe better but it's not available to us. For the money I thinks it's unbeatable, that's why it's not in stock and sold out. trust me it's taken a long time to wean me off a Drone, I have 3 of them but will never sell just in case.......
  11. I shoot a Tikka CTR in .223 using 40gr Vmax, I have 2 mates that have the .204both rifles are very capable, but I choose .223 over .204 because of the availability of ammunition and the versatility of the calibre, mine is 1:8 twist and it shoot's 40Vmax just fine Despite everyone saying otherwise, it is my go to foxing round because it's cheap to load for and odes the job great, but should I want to go and do a bit of long distance it also shoots 77TMK's just as well, If you look at the choice of the Bullet alone if you reload, then really it's a no brainer, My friend has had 39 Blitzkings on order now for getting on 4 months with no sign of any turning up, but .there is plenty of .223 about even if it's not quite what you want. both great rounds, but .223 is more practical than the .204 in my opinion.
  12. With what's going on in the Ukraine at the moment, I don't think they'll be making anymore for a while. looked through a lot of stuff but the Drone is still king of the pile.
  13. Iray also have a Tubed unit now, so it could be interesting to see what’s what and what is the best value for money out of them. If only Pard did a tubed unit.
