    Hi Al.

    I wouldn't mind Jim testing my Jackals, as I do have a fair few derivatives .

    I even sent in a write up on them & my projects. Not published probably my writing was pi$$ poor

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Hi.

    I've not held a SE90 yet but they are the same as the Jackals, just abit more refined. 11.5 is a real good power out put. With my Jackals I only use RWS pellets. I tested many different types of pellets & they were the best. I just stick with those. However that was about 20yrs ago & there are better brands on the market now than then. If you are grouping well with the Accupels I'd leave it as is

    The 20/20 is one model that I'm after, not seen one in this country, I missed out on one in America a few months ago . Can't really give a price on that one. But there was two Jackals for sale on here not long ago for £200 each. Way over my budget so I'd didn't get them, plus they were two models I already got.

    Hope That Helps
    Paddy.

    No worries.

    I might even try those Accupels on my recently serviced Firepower & see if they are any better.

    As for the woodsman, I haven't got that model I've got the woodstock. But I'll let you know if I find one.

    Regards
    Paddy

    I have used the AA fields in my .177 Parabellum, as I use those in my PCPs.
