All in .22. I'd love to drop on a couple of .177 side levers but they are a rare find.

Wanted to try it for grouping with scope fitted, but I think a normal scope would not suit. Think an Elcan Specter DR looks better on it?

Make and Mend afternoon, cleanest 7.62 in the squad stuffed in back of cupboard. Everything ironed to the size of the Globe and Laurel.

Do you think they suit a military look ? Never found them that good, on mine the dot covered too much of the target, especially at distance. Had one on my customised AR7 Explorer.Originally Posted by harvey_s

Had a single point on mine but it was not great. I did give it away with the rifle though

Seem to recall one tip to try & cure the "echo box" of a hollow stock was to fill it with the foaming filler used in the building industry. Not sure how effective it would be but the theory seems to be good. The stocks on the Mistral & Camargue look very nice, aesthetically at any rate. Nicely sculpted, & no need to stuff it with underlay or foam. Suppose the pop of a 7.62 drowned out the rattles & echos from the abs stock of the SLR, but they made wooden furniture for those too.....

Clacity clack, just so noisy, especially the Sussex Armoury ones. AA got the quality control better and took the design further. The base design always had a pretty poor or "average" for its day trigger, but then everything did in those days unless German. The rest is history.
High Power looks best with a 4x40 scope. AR7 with Singlepoint.
These rifles were for plinking and hunting around the farmyard. Best in .22 for the whollop. What a lot of fun. They were never meant to be 35m tack drivers, and to be honest can't do it just as a factory Airsporter or Webley Vulcan can't even if many tried. The HW77 could in .177.
The High Power with scope so it looked like a R1 Fal. The AR7 because it could look like a Blake Seven AR16.
I missed an AR7 a few years back; its the one I'd have for the fun of it. Those High Powers I've saved from the skip I've always passed on.

That one looks like an Armson sight rather than a Singlepoint...Do you think they suit a military look ? Never found them that good, on mine the dot covered too much of the target, especially at distance. Had one on my customised AR7 Explorer.

I use the term in a generic sense like "hoover" is used for all makes of vacuum cleaner. All these sights have the same principal, a fluorescent rod that requires an outside light source to work. They are OK for a moving target, or fairly large targets, but not for precision shooting. I would never test an air rifle for getting the best grouping size using one of these.

Which actually describes rather well the answer to your question as to whether they "suit the military look?"... If you're looking for a military look of a certain vintage (as the Jackals of the the time undoubtedly were) then Yes, absolutely...
