Well you be just taken the plunge and ordered one. Hopefully it’s as good as everyone says. If so then the next conundrum will be what to do with it. Spotter, HMR, FAC air, 223? Decisions, decisions…

This is an S410 HP. Runs around 30ft lb and with a Lane regulator in it you get around 30 full power shots before it goes off-reg. It’s at least third longer than a standard S410 and has a larger air cylinder

Nice couple of hours out on a recently cut hay field where the farmer wants the rabbit numbers curtailed. 7 with an airgun (not been out with it for a while so it came along for the journey) and 11 with HMR. Even managed to catch up with the cheeky dog fox that was making off with one of my...

Went out with Chris and Kevin this morning for my first ever stalk. Plenty of deer on their ground and they even got me on to a good sized muntjac buck. First stalk, first deer, plenty of guidance, tips and a relaxed atmosphere throughout. Couldn’t recommend them enough, will defiantly be...

Few hours out, couple less foxes hanging around the farmers “for the wildlife” lakes now. The little HMR does the business again. Heard the marsh frogs, saw an owl, didn’t have to watch the doom and gloom on the tv. A rather pleasant Thursday evening

Great stuff. Must just be a quirk of Baikals. Thanks to both of you for your time and replies 👍

Primers aren’t perforated all the way through. Only example I’ve got to hand is below but it certainly doesn’t look as deep (from memory) as some of the other cartridges. Replacing the firing pin spring was a recommendation from an instructor that was teaching my son with a club gun...

Got a little single barrel .410 for my son to use. After I put a few cartridges through it I looked at the primers and I think the firing pin is protruding too much. So three questions really - Where can I get a new firing pin from? Is it the firing pin return spring that’s at fault...

Lovely few hours out with the HMR last night. Met the farmer for a catch up and a chat then off to the races I go. He’s growing those funny broad beans that get combined stalk and all for cattle feed but the rabbits were knocking them back. Set up the trusty doormat on the roof of the...

@Onelesscharlie made a brilliant one for me 👍 Definitely worth reaching out to him on here

Any moisture in the air? I also found that with my pulsar thermal if my finger / hand is anywhere near the ranging bit it gives a reading of 584y ever time

Rather pleasant evening out. The 223 hasn’t seen the light of day (night🤔) for a while especially since I put a Zulu on the HMR so tonight was the night for it. Set up 30mins before sunset with the rifle on the truck roof, thermos of coffee and a ludicrous lumens vulpine NV add-on. An hour...

A pleasant couple of hours out tonight until heavy drizzle set in and spoilt play. Still using the 850nm Zulu pill. Think I’ve been out 4 times with it so far. Overall it works brilliantly. Good clarity out to 150+y and the lrf seems to spook the rabbits more than the torch. Once the light...

Very little difference in picture quality. Main difference that I noticed was more of a “tunnelling” effect when using the 850, ie the area not directly illuminated was dark even when flooded with IR. Think I need a bit more time swapping between them to be able to give a more detailed...
