    G&G wild hog

    Looks like it's £211.99 on Defcon.
  2. Thank you, it's basically my first child. For those interested in the gory details: Tikka Compact Tactical Rifle 24" threaded barrel, chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor (Finnish import for those 'White Death' vibes) Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 w/ illuminated reticle Vortex Tactical Pro mounts Harris lightweight 9"-13" bipod 20x Hornady match-grade Ballistic tipped 140grain (9.1 grams) This rifle is built for 1000m-1400m target shooting as well as (normal-ranged) highland red-deer stalking.
  3. The reason I haven't bought an airsoft gun in a while, been saving up for this newly acquired baby ❤️ (apologies if non-airsoft guns aren't allowed, thought this may be of interest to gun addicts such as myself)
  4. Sensible me: Testing the waters of getting back into airsoft, buys a £140 AEG. Also me: Spends £500 on gear in three weeks.

      Yeah its like that isn't it,well written gave me a chuckle this morning 🖖

      I haven't spent more than £30 on gear yet

  5. The favourite part of my watch is the sapphire back which gives you a glimpse of the automatic workings, impossible to take a good picture of it without a proper camera and a macro lens unfortunately looks beautiful in person.
  6. Not strictly airsoft related, though I'll bung them in here next time I go on holiday; but a new rifle safe with inbuilt ammo lockbox. Absolute bargain from eBay.
  7. Psyched to have my first AEG up and running after 10 years out of the game. Thanks to @Iceni for the battery tutorial!

      Welcome back burny!

      How does it feel compared to that old CA of yours?

       

      Also that thread was great, even I learned something from Iceni.

      I'm actually pleasantly surprised; bearing in mind the G&G was almost a third of the price of the CA in real terms, it feels solid, no creeks, shoots straight, its rails and stock feel okay. I've not managed to get anywhere with over 5m to shoot yet, to see what the hop and longer range accuracy is like, so perhaps that will be where it lets itself down, hopefully not. With that said I am already planning my next two purchases which will be an ICS M4 then a TM 416; a dangerous precedent seeing as I haven't played a skirmish this decade :wacko:

      Meh ! from the time scale your obviously old enough to know better so crack on with the plan ! 😂😂

  8. Yeah. I think I'll start a dedicated thread so as to not clog up the quick question thread. This is all new to me and this smart charger is like something out of apollo 13. Thanks for the help.
  9. Thanks for the reply, I guess what's confusing me is that when connected the wires no longer match: That's battery on the left charger on the right. Is this normal? Thanks
  10. Is this mini tamiya connector wired backwards?
  11. Resurrecting a really old thread to see if there was a conclusion to this search for us gargantuan headed folks?? I'm 62/63!!... Move aside normallos I need a freak lid.
  12. Awesome collection... Also cool to see Finmere is still running, a mate and I played there quite a bit 10-12 years ago, is it still ran by Matt?
  13. Spent far too long trying to figure out which metal bodied M4 is the best blend of performance & reliability out of the box and therefore my next purchase and 3rd M4 (I'm basic). Going to flip a coin between ICS & VFC.

      ICS all the way !

      Cheers fellas. Looks like we might be going the ICS (non blowback) route for M4 no.3... The yanks seem to have a collective love of Krytacs, that's probably my final mental hurdle before pulling the trigger (no pun intended) on the ICS.

      I had an ICS L85 totally bomb proof and felt like a real one to me , only sold it help pay for a very expensive new toy , got an M4 again solid as a rock feel real confidence in it , some AEGs look amazing but soon as you pick it up you instantly think “mmmm this feels like it’ll have the strength of a chocolate Easter egg !”
