The DonnyFL Fat Boy 2.0 fits-in well with the compact lines of the Krait Lite doesn't it? 🤓 Yep the stock is sweet, barely adds ½lb and yet AirMaks have shaved-off £50, despite adding both it and a Huma reg. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

A++ on the methodology - fill up, let it settle, wait, a few stabilization shots... That'll definitely help consistency

@RussDouglas222 3 ай бұрын

Cheers Nate, I've learned (the hard way, i.e. on camera) in the past that it's easy to get a few velocity fluctuations straight after filling, before things settle. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

Love love the look of this rifle! If I see more good reports I will get it. Probably going 22 myself as the wind we seem to have nowadays is to much for the little 177, but on those still day the smaller calibre is still my first choice( would be great with interchangeable barrels

@RussDouglas222 3 ай бұрын

It's a cracker and I'm doing more testing, starting now. I feel .177" fights wind better than .22", as the latter's larger cross-section and slower pace combine to move it off-course more easily. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The testing Gary Wain did within Airgun World articles confirmed this too. 🤓 Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

@@RussDouglas222 I didn’t now that about the wind with both calibres and now that you say that i have noticed since changing to qys pellets my hw 100 hundred 177 now hates the wind, I will go back to throwing away a quarter of the tin of JSBs and more than likely now get the krait in 177👍 great informative vids! All the best with your new home

Think there was an error with magazine capacity in .177 it should be 18 not 22 unless its using a different magazine to the krait & katran ?

So the big question, Krait or Krait Lite?

@RussDouglas222 3 ай бұрын

Ah that's down to personal choice, particularly WRT the grip/stock options. But I love both my .177" Krait and .22" Krait Lite -which I'll now start testing in earnest... but excellent rifles and above all - very well engineered. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

Hi nice review as usual loverly compact quite bit kit but what happened to the arken zulus ir/thermal you and Bruce had am thinking youse must have found a few niggles with it that arken are sorting out before your review comes out good things are worth waiting for thanks Russ 👍keep them coming

@RussDouglas222 2 ай бұрын

Actually following all the feedback they got (mostly positive), and testing it themselves Arken decided they didn't want to launch it until they were happy with the quality. So they went away after the British Shooting Show to upgrade the image quality of both the digital (day/night) sensor and the thermal sensor. It's gonna be one hell of a scope once they're happy with it! Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ
