Great minds think alike :-) made one almost identical, works great. By the way, love that stock on the 410 👍👍

I reckon that you could use a large plastic flagon containing polystyrene bean-bag or packing beans. You could then separate the pellets from the fill by tipping the contents into water, skimming the fill off with an old sieve and drying it in a nylon stocking, then pouring the water through the sieve to recover the pellets - so avoiding breathing lead particulates.

Love watching people make stuff 👍I put layers of quality fake grass with a good rubber backing in pellet traps, have used old carpet and clothing before but it smells when it gets wet,the grass can stay out whatever the weather, I'm sure if you've a local installer they'd have plenty of off cuts they'd want rid of 😉

Glue some magnets on the inside of the corners then use either magnets or bits of metal to hold the targets flat

Now we know why cowboys wore jeans... just in case of a shoot-out.

It was 4 shots and one flyer of the Bisley Magnum in the small group and not 3 pellets, as you has shot 6 pellets instead of 5.

Looks like a project for the weekend. I like the adaptability of it.

I use a 70L gas bottle cut in half filled with beach sand and memory foam at the end to hold the sand in very quite the foam lasts a long time I have a king-size mattress of it cut up ready to go. I also use it with my 22LR.

A very good afternoon to you, mate. Just going to grab a coffee and settle in to watch this before I go into the garden for a little tinkering and then plinkering 😋 Just adding a new bipod and red dot to a budget xs38 for messing around with.... Before the usual know it all suspects chime in regarding springers and... well, pretty much anything.... I'll make sure to check with you before I consider anything else that you don't understand and that has nothing to do with you in the future, happy now? Retention relaxed and unclenched?

Nice box! If you glue 2 layers of old conveyor belt or strips of old car tires to the back, it'll stop everything upto 24J. And it'll dampen the sound of the impact completely.

I just mounted a good quality pellet trap for paper targets on an adjustable tripod. I like to shoot on same hight level. Own the green Caldwell rest and it works fine for PCP and powder burners but not for springer use. I rather use a sand bag to lay my hand on for the artillery hold. I never shoot a springer directly from any rest. I see guys doing this and i tried it many times, but the best control and results i'd always get with both hands on the stock. Cheers!

Hello Jeff, never tried a Vector Optics Veyron? Low cost and absolutely very clear. 4 of my 7 scopes are VO... We'll be at Duxford Sunday 21st. Keep up the good work mate!

Great review. Just shows it’s all in the head . 😆👌🫡🙏

Accuracy isn't simply down to the rifle barrel itself, it is also down to testing multiple pellet brands and weights and also possible power adjusting etc. There are many factors.

The Brocock website has to two different lengths stated for the Carbine, it states 633mm and 655mm. Both of which are different to the 665mm which you stated?

Hi Jeff, brilliant piece of work which must have taken ages to put together, I am learning all the time. Not sure about the tin foil method, seems like a very "iffy" way of getting an accurate measurement. How did you discover that a simple mechanical measurement of the scope/barrel was incorrect? Using basic trigonometry, based on a 25 yard zero and a 45mm scope hight (hate mixing units) at the objective (Scope diameter + barrel diameter /2) + gap between top of barrel and bottom of scope) if the barrel sticks out 400mm beyond the scope then the difference in the trajectory lines would be 0.692mm which is nowhere near 5% and is within acceptable error. This is not criticism, just debate to find the best solutions 🙂

Many thanks for this detailed video. However, I am confused. At 17:10 you elude to using the diopter to eliminate parallax, is this correct? The diopter is used to focus your eye on the reticle in the same way reading glasses focus your eye on the pages of a book and should not need to be changed once set. The side focus or adjustable objective is used to bring the objective (target) onto the same focal plane as the reticle, only when this happens is parallax eliminated and the reticle will be static relative to the target even when "bobbing " your head. I have always understood that any movement is adjusted out by small adjustments to the focus. How does moving the diopter focus eliminate the parallax when it does not adjust the object image relative to the reticle focal plane?

"Safe and well" - that's a very bad hangover you need to ditch from COVID! To not be safe would mean they couldn't ever be watching this. Unless it's under duress. .. on with the video. Stay safe.

Thanks. Great vid. 👍🏻

Fantastic informative video thanks for sharing , I'm a big fan of fixed mag scopes , at present my go to scope is a swfa 10x42 , shame you haven't got one to include in your reviews , Optically and mechanically they are second to none from a price point of view

Yo, how about showing your scopes in a woodland setting in a typical HFT course ? No one else is doing it. That would be banging !

Something to consider with these entry level scopes is that they are not all made equal. So you can buy the same scopes but the rets will be different. I have had a few CP’s and the rets have all been slightly different in terms of thickness

Nice comparison video mate, thank you. 8-)

Personal bug bear of mine is mismatched turrets and ret. If you have a mil dot ret you ideally should have mil turrets not Moa and on my traditional scopes I prefer ffp so sim points stay the same and if I’m zeroing and off by 1/2 a mil dot just adjust by 5 clicks

If having your scope ring close to turrets affects focus that would suggest to me the rings are over tight

Ive got Hawke, MTC, Riton, Vector and Arken, like them all. All MRAD and a split of SFP and FFP. Good optics make such a difference to the shooting experience! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeff. Just upgraded to Optisan 4-16x40F1. Nice and compact. Looks sexy on my Epic Two 😂🤣. Love your channel x

Great review👍 I have Airmax scopes mounted on all my HW springers. That are twelve of them and never had an issue. Prefer the Aimax more than the Vantage because of the finer cross hair and half mill dots. Maybe you should have mention the fixed power SWFA SS series scopes. Those are superb scopes and very well build. The SWFA is my first choice in fixed power hunting scope because you'll never mess up with the hold over on different power settings, easy AO access on the eye piece and dead on with range finding. 👌Cheers!

My rule of thumb is to spend 2/3 of your budget on the gun and 1/3 on a sight. But 50/50 would not be excessive.

What martial art did you do

Maybe I'm wrong, but I googled this and its on another UA-cam video. I think you got that that wrong way round.177 for feather and 22 for fur.

Don’t see the point of pellet testing in the wind. It was obvious from the video that it was blowing harder when testing some pellets than others and funnily enough the pellets with the tighter groups were the ones shot when the wind was blowing less. And also in windy conditions be the nature of the pellet being heavier it will usually group better due to it having less effect on it from the wind. Perhaps try this again indoors as the results will be noticeably different. Also, as the ghost has variable power adjustment try turning the power wheel down or up a few numbers. Some pellets that don’t group as well on max power group brilliantly on one or two numbers lower. Pellet testing is as much about finding the right pellet for the barrel as it is finding the right speed to shoot the pellet at… try different pellet head sizes too. You may find that ur best pellet is one that shoots better on power setting lower than max with a head size you wouldn’t normally shoot.

I don't disagree with you, but it is a matter of different barrels, different results. Some barrel are not pellet picky, others are. My one 5.5mm pcp is very pellet picky. It shoots H&N 18gr pellets very good, other pellets including JSB not so good. Also, certain H&N batches are definitely better than others. Even if I use the better batch pellets, on longer distances sorting by head size makes a BIG difference in this pcp. Sorting by weight not so much.

I featured one of these couple of yrs ago, was solid built like a tank, was happy with the build of the gun , but after about 170 shots it started making a ringing sound after every shot , then I noticed over the chrono it was down to 9 ft lbs , so I took it back to the shop , and they refunded me, and said that it must have been a faulty batch cos they’d had a few returned ,, people in the no, got intouch and said I should have stripped it , debured ,, spelling ,,, etc , cheers shane

I enjoyed watching this test with the heavies, but I think I've come across a pellet that you didn't try, yet could outdo the JSB's, they are the Webley AccuMAX at 10.65 grain. I was very surprised with those through both my BSA R10se and HW100kt. How about trying the JSB against the AccuMAX in another vid?

Great tips and video! Audio tip; get a Rode or DJI wireless mic, with the included windjammers, you will have pristine outdoor audio!

I have a backwards question. I use a Diana Chaser CO2 pistol to "convince" pigeons to stay off my roof. What are the slowest pellets? Specifically pellets that slow down the quickest? If I miss a pigeon on my roof (10-20 yds) the pellet continues an unknown distance. What I would like to find is a pellet formed like a badminton shuttle. Quick for a little bit, then slows dramatically. Is there such a thing?

Always use Jsb heavies,the only rifle I've owned which didn't shoot them well was an FX Wildcat.

Bisley mags are Barracuda heavies .

did you check fps / power . Most pcp like heavy pellets and will give a higher power output despite the drop in fps

Are all these pellets the same skirt size, as this can affect the way the pellet travel’s down the rifling in the barrel. I find my AA410 carbine prefers small skirts of exactly 4.50 in 177 calibre, tested 11 different pellets and all the 4.51 and 4.52 skirt types performed less well.

Is that form hand grip on your ghost

ad an lgu best pellet was falcon accuracy plus [under 8 grains]

Try daystate rangemaster sovereign hunters 10.33grain you will be amazed 👌

How many meters ..maybe i missed it .but very nice clip.

Hi, great content as normal, what was the ballistic calculator you use, I couldn’t really hear and I’ve searched what I think you said and I couldn’t find anything

Hft is not so much about group size like benchrest is but predictablility. A pellet that is consistent in the amount of wind and drop it takes so it's poi can be accuratly predicted is what will put more points on your card and the 10.3's are certainly good in the wind. I have used the JSB heavies myself and find that going up about 5 or 6mm higher on the mounts compared to a 8.4 setup brings the aimpoints to very nearly the same.

Just solder a new infrared LED from an old remote control back on. Just make sure you get the polarity right.

The weather looks as good in Cambs as it is here in Norfolk abysmal, suprisingly good results in that wind 👍

I have found the JSB Exact Heavy pellets give the best results for my Ghost and FX Dreamline.
