    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    You now need a defence to buy a knock off optic? Is the defence "I have no taste your honour" ?

    Bolt action sniper rifle query

    Round about the £100 mark. If I was spending any more, then I may as well get an air rifle I think. Otherwise I would go for a TM Gspec.

    Bolt action sniper rifle query

    I have been out of it for a while - I used to rock an upgraded SRS, but I think my playing days are nearly over. So the question is for my youngest son. I would like to get him a bolt action rifle, so that I can teach him the principles of using a rifle correctly. I want the minimum fucking...

    We do it all the time, with everything. It's because the dialogue level on a normal TV is shit - so if we have it at a volume where we can actually hear the dialogue, it disturbs the kids trying to get to sleep. It's also pretty cool when there's stuff you read that you wouldn't have a chance...

    Vortex are awesome. Fact.

    And that's what they did! They sent it and it arrived the next day. They actually sent a pair of caps. Excellent comms, stunning service and completely free to boot! Despite my dogs' best attempts to destroy them whilst shredding the mail, they're now back on the scope....

    Pistol recommendations

    The CZ SP09, whilst ergonomically, is shit in use, imho. Which is why I gave it to my son. ? The SZSP01 Shadow, however, is a massive bowl of awesome sauce. I loved them so much I used to run two. Or If you want some sneaky sneaky, then an MK23 will see you right. No they're not blowback, but...

    Vortex are awesome. Fact.

    Everyone, I am sure has heard of the Vortex warranty. Well, it's just awesome! I know it's only a little thing, but I lost my elevation turret cap in a game. Haven't thought about it until it's come time to sell the scope. Popped them an email and they're sending a replacement out the same...

    Old skool. Really, really old skool

    Original 1991 Tokyo Mario springer Desert Eagle. Oh the fun me and my bruv had with this!  I also had a Beretta 92f that ran off a compression tank/pump which was rather fun. But that was sold at uni for beer. Things are somewhat different now....

    p.s. no, wait... they seem to be about a million pounds these days. I'll get my coat.

    I used to run a 4x mag battle sight on my DMR. Never understood the need for 1x mag, cos you can splat them just as easily at 4x with a battle sight, because the field of view is so good. No, the fov isn't as good as a red dot, but your other eye should be open anyway, so it's not really an...

    Silverstone shooting centre Skills House

    Holy moly, this place looks awesome! https://www.silverstoneshootingcentre.co.uk/two-story-skills-house-1/ I don't know if he's planning on running CQB courses, but I know there are some airsoft teams that are using it already for shenanigans (sorry, training). It's not often us poor...

    I wonder if those two things are related...  I thought the IDF used Tavors now? (which to some are still ugly, but hey, I love em).

    Nah, the BS is still there - he still says he's NOT a retailer and still wants friends and family payment.

    Unspoken rules in airsoft?

    If it's not an unspoken rule, it should be: People who pretend to be dead and then shoot you. The hit shouldn't count and you should be permitted to shoot them at 30m with a sniper rifle. In the head. Repeatedly. I loathe this dishonourable behaviour. Basically, it means I shoot everyone...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    This has confused me.  So £20 off retail for the whole package? When you've no idea how it's been put together or anything? AND IT'S ONLY £20 OFF RETAIL????  Crazy.

    Vortex scopes - Bad warranty experience

    Has anyone ever had a bad experience with the Vortex warranty? I've got a few of their scopes and have never had to use it - I know a few people who have used it and can't speak highly enough. But it got me wondering - have they ever failed to provide the service that we all buy the scopes for?

    Would a £120 scope survive a fall?

    Two things about Vortex scopes: 1) Increased likelihood of survival, as they are well built 2) Doesn't matter if they survive, as they will replace/repair ANY damage for free, forever. I was talking to a UK rep for Vortex about the warranty and they have one single instruction from the parent...
