Thanks Phil. I was able to pass on your details to Robert Taylor. A the moment the membership is full, but once places become available he will start to notify people on the list. Great to see you. Not too bad a morning considering the hurricane was on its way.

Yes it was a good morning, ok thanks for the info.

Thanks James, we have some good banter down at the club and yes, the Brocock rifles are very nice and even more impressive now that Daystate have got involved with them. The Brocock Bantam gives a good shot count, especially in sub 12 ft/lbs, but even at 30 ft/lbs you are going to probably get around 60 shots in .22

Yes, most are OK, but i have found that some are probably larger in the head diametre and need the extra push. Bisley Long Range Gold and i believe the H&N Excite Hollow points, which have a slight rim and are also a tight fit. Apart from these two, most are OK.

Hello Si, was testing pellets in the bantam and mark has plenty of them, he is an air head like us, you still working that compatto on the bunnies ?

hunter100t yes mate. I have two now, the standard version and the new Target version with the regulator.

Well I must admit they are nice to shoot, well balanced and accurate. I am currently waging war on rats on a beef farm using the 100 permanently fitted with NV and the Bantam during the day, a good pair !

Hello Anthony, yest you are right. That's David Oldham. I believe he joined 1 RHA in 1964 and won best recruit. He also served through the 70s. We have a few veterans at the club, both gunners, paras and cavalry from the Army and also Navy and RAF.

Well,what a small world. He joined us the year before we were posted out to Aden,during the troubles. He must have come through my hands at some time, as I was the NCO in charge of the M.I.Room when we arrived out in that God-forsaken-place, with all the heat and the flies. I am 77 years old now, and just starting to feel my age. I noticed a previous comment from a close Army buddy of mine,"Foxpest" who also spotted the RHA Cypher.

It's from Altaros in the Chec Republic. It's larger capacity and lighter than the original and comes with a guage and fill probe. You can also order it with a regulator as a set. When I purchased it, they could be sold in standard size or a larger capacity one like the one I have. As I had purchased my Air Arms S200 second hand and Air Arms recommend you to replace your air cylinder after 10 years, I decided to buy this one, as I had already regulated the rifle, so just replaced the cylinder. You will have to ask if they still do the cylinders on there own, because I can only see them as part of a set at the moment, but I see why they wouldn't still do them on their own.

@@airgunsniper-elite7385 thanks so very much! I will give them a try!

You can pick up an old MK1 Air Arms with multi shot magazine and scope from around £300 second hand. The new ones are about £450 from new just for the rifle. The Brocock Compatto Bantam rifles are from around £750 depending on where you buy them from. brocock.co.uk/

Yes, Dave Oldham was with 1st RHA

I knew I know him we served together. !962-1972 Thank you, I have tracked him through Facebook and have messaged him. Good looking club by the way.

Dave shoots every day, early morning to early afternoon. You will have to come over if you don't live far away.
