Hi kris unfortunately I've had to shrink my collection down to four rifles now I have a air arms xti50 orange laminate hft model a Benjamin kratos .22 a weihrauch hw35 limited edition .22 and a cometa fenix 400 USC in grey laminate. 22 all of which I love to shoot I'm very lucky to have the permission of various fields to shoot them in it's a great hobby to have thank you for your comment. 😊

Thank you for your comment I was introduced to shooting by my cousin Michael Rowe fantastic shot and artist with a pencil joined cadets been shooting ever since I find it your artistic your generally a good shot but keep practising that also helps.😊

Hi Phil sorry haven't got back earlier been away on holiday The hawke airmax touch has the distance Mark's on it from factory and unlike some scopes these do correspond to the right distance still pleased with the scope and it's still amazes me every time I shoot with it I've also would recommend the mtc genesis 5x20x50 if you don't like the close eye relief of the hawke hope this helps you. Lee😊

@@leesmith3081 Thanks Lee, hope you had a great holiday. Cheers. Phil. 😎👍🇬🇧

Hi Mike the moderator is a get shorty by airforce I think the shooting party stock them now .Thanks for your comment.

@@leesmith3081 thanks Lee

Thanks Ian for your comment every time I go out with the air arms s510 us it feels special and the stress of Christmas pressure and strikes it's even more essential to escape into the field for a shooting session. Hope you've had a nice Christmas and Santa's been kind take care my friend.

@Lee Smith Hi Lee, Thankyou for your message and great to hear from you. It's nice to have something in common with someone. I'm shortly out to do some target practice. Just keeping an eye on the weather and breeze/wind. I feel I've needed that escape that our hobby brings. Things generally not great at the moment, and the weather this time of the year is just another inconvenient discomfort to us. I have all the kit I need now, and I just need the weather and time and health to enjoy it. I'm hoping a resolution can be achieved with our strikes. Something has to change. We, the working class, have carried the can for long enough, while those much higher sit with their feet up, noses in the trough, drinking champagne and munching caviar, telling lies to cover their tracks. It's done its time and has to stop now. If everything was accounted for properly, we could all live in harmony, 60/40, I'd settle for. Not 95/5, which is what it is at the moment. Thank the heavens for guys like Dave Ward and Mick Lynch. Honest people to the core, wanting a fair deal for everyone, not just the disgusting, thieving, faceless pigs at the top, who spend their hideous lives hiding and squaring their wealth away in off shore accounts, avoiding paying their rightful taxes, which would be fair and help us all. Respect, my friend. Take care, Ian.

@@ianwoods1384 Thanks Ian hope your little rant has released some tension I totally agree with you in everything you say .When I look back on my life it's with agreat sence of achievement I've had to work very hard for every single thing I've done hard manual work for over forty years so to see such greed is upsetting but the realizations that people are people and things will never change I just enjoy everything I've got .There's my rant out the way thanks again Ian just keep shooting and enjoy.

Hi Nigel thanks for commenting my personal recommendation is the s510 because in my experience air arms are more reliable and easy to service not sure about the regulator in the s510 reg but knowing how the company looks after its customers it will be soon sorted if anything went wrong .I will put my hands up and say the weihrauch hw100 is probably better made engineering wise but that is also the problem sometimes too many seal areas to leak my first 100 was one of the earlier models and I had no end of leaks from it sent back to hull cartridge so many times so when I bought a new one 13years later and that one also leaked I was disappointed to say the least so forget what you see on the media sites that the weihrauch hw100 is more accurate it's not true my s510 will out shot any weihrauch 100 that I've had in my hands and I've shot lots also when you buy a s510 it will still shoot great a long time from now hope this helps .

Hi Robert I use walnut oil you can buy it from the supermarket keep wiping it over and leave to dry keep adding every so often I'd just oil it before the video and the conservatory roof let's in a lot of light making it look shiny. Great rifles whith a little tinkering taken shroud of mine and added a silencer more accurate now.

Love watching your videos Shane keep up the good work .

Thank you for your comment I like restoring air rifles and have done for a lot of years it's a practise that will never make me rich in fact I'm sometimes out of pocket but like to see them looking smart again as for the weihrauch 35 I enjoy every second shooting her the gun not the wife ha ha.

@@leesmith3081 Great job on the stock, I honestly can't tell it was repaired. You were right to focus on the wood and leave the original bluing with some character. Older webleys were given some of the best bluing or so I've heard. Best not, or she won't be buying you any more nice guns.

They did indeed Paul , i have number 76 of 215 in .22 calibre which i bought from Pellpax .

I've always wondered why people need telescopes on air rifles...

You are obviously not a serious shooter

Like you I'm also 55 and enjoy shooting some the simplicity of a good well made Springer sends you back like a time machine to the early days when field craft and skill was paramount to hunting success it can sometimes be forgotten with new PCP hunting enjoy every pellet .

@@leesmith3081 Evening Lee Yep ... something about a Springer isn't there , they're more " alive " so to speak I've got 3 pcp's ( all great rifles ) and 1 break barrel Springer ... Soon to be another to the collection , can't wait 👍🏻

No I think they've finished shame I looked forward to them
