Thank you for all the excellent videos Si and Davey. I.m still new at this and I appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge and hunts. The Imp and the Jack Snipe are awesome as is Tony’s talents at tuning. I wish that I lived on that side of the pond so I could purchase one from him. Si,you are one heck of a good marksman,really really good shooting !
Brilliant si ,I called down @ Sandwell about 2 weeks ago to drop my Hw98 off for tuning and to buy and put my name down on the waiting list for 1 of these 20cal s but I ended up buying a diana mod 52 in 177 and left it with Tony and saul for the full tune up , when I go to pick both guns up (around 18/20 weeks) I'll definitely put an order in for 1 of these jack snipes , love 20cal I've got a Sandwell tuned hw95 in 20cal witch shoots amazing, the lads @ Sandwell really do know there stuff and are very friendly.
Si, A great video. With FT cushions, I only fill them 2/3rds full with filling. I then effectively sit on the floor & form the remaining filling to give my back support (like a bucket seat)….works for me 😊
Tidy little rifle, reminds me of the fenman also a great rifle that had a 7 inch barrel but the gas ram and the short barrel made the lock time super quick, . nice shooting on the bunnies and that 55 yard stander was sweet. atb phil.
Thanks for the video Si, its really useful for beginners like myself, this helps me understand its not just about loading a pellet aiming and firing. Have you ever or would you consider doing a series of video's, to teach people who are just getting into the sport, starting with the very basic kit required, how to shoot accurately, principles of air gun shooting, do's and don'ts etc. I for one would follow these with great interest, and find them invaluable, Thanks Si, also Sandwell Field Sports are great people and a great shop, Tony is a legend
That would be great and much appreciated Si, I am in my 50's and have just started to take up air gunning and would like to learn more and expand my knowledge, my son has also invested in a springer like myself
Top notch video that rifle looks great and shoots fantastic I wonder if Tony would send one to Aus haha thanks for taking the time to do this review 👍👍😎
Good to see you lot again, it`s been too long...Looks to me Weihrauch+Sandwell field sports +Si=dead rabbits. Very nice vid once again; keep them coming...Please. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Oh goody - VHTV reviewing a springer in .20! Love my 95 in .20 - it prefers the Daystate Kaisers over all else - recent batch of H&N's just fall into the breech and then fly all over. Would love to have a try with the Jack Snipe. Have a go at 100 yds, Si - it's addictive! So satisfying to get a good group. I need to watch this again. Haven't been able to grab a full 40 mins in one sitting. Appreciate your efforts. Any comments on hold sensitivity? That's my bugbear.
Long time no see Si!, been off the net for quite some time 🙃 glad to see you are still at it my friend 👍 I’m currently on a Crown fac .25 & just received my superior slug liner ( only one in the U.K. I believe ) but by far the greatest time I had ie the most successful in sub 12 was in .20 👍 without a shadow of a doubt the most versatile and consistent size I’ve ever used 😎 all the best mate & after all this crazy lockdown is over the invite to Cornwall still stands 🎣🤙
Nice review. Very impressive with a sub 12 FPE rifle. I consider myself very lucky that FPE laws don’t exist here in the states. I never realized what a challenge or the kinda awesome skill it takes to hit targets with pin point accuracy at such long distances with that level of power. I tried to shot 50 yards with my Nova Vista Liberty .22 on low power but after doing the math the rifle is still putting out 19.7 FPE so even at that it was quiet a challenge for me compared to holding dead-on on high power at the same distance. .20s are not common at all over here and would be very difficult for me to find not to mention ammo. They do have a better BC than the .22 and better energy at distance. Awesome shooting bud. Great video. Thank you.
What an excellent review again, you really got your own style Si, I really like these videos. Glad to see you out again after changing jobs and moving houses. All the best, great shooting as always.
proof for those who chase 11.5+ft-lb that you don't need it and in fact can be detrimental for accurate stringer shooting, you'd think the 20 cal would be far more popular then it is being a half way house between .177 and .22 👍... well have to give Nelson club a visit, not to far from me.
I had an Airwolf in .20 sub 12 & it breaks my heart I let her go, absolutely trustworthy target consistency, incredible trajectory & the swirl patterns in the fur of rabbits heads showed how devastating it was, she loved HW FT Exact ( in fact they pip the post on the majority of my many sub 12vers, might have to see if they do heavies for fac ) shame I got week and she became to heavy for me unfortunately
I tried to order the jack snipe but Tony explained to me the British law's would love to own such an amazing gun but at this time shipping an air rifle to Gloucester Massachusetts USA is out of the question . Good hunting be safe .
Nice video and really nice to have you back. I am not quite sure if that rifle in .20 really offers any advantage over a well sorted .177. Your calculated BC for the pellet used was more or less in line with that of the JSB diablo Exact .177 and way behind the .22 version ( I have calculated it to be 0.026 ) . In anycase the rifle appears to be quite accurate at range and that is what counts but persoanlly I'd stick to a .22 and JSB exact express. Thanks for an entertaining video.
Si, getting rid of my pcp and going for a springer, going back to my roots. I’m torn between the imp and the jack snipe. Mainly doing target and some hunting of rabbits. Any advise for which you’d recommend?
Hi Si, I’m a complete novice I’m looking at getting the best ratter I can, my thoughts at the moment are .22 HW97KT Blackline or this SFS Jack Snipe. Would appreciate your advice.
Hi Si what one piece scope mount do you have on there I had a weihrauch one piece on my hw80 then bought an airmax 3-9x40 and the mount that previously fit my hawke vantage was to long so I put the mount on some hi presision equipment and cut a piece out. Now it fits the airmax but is now a two piece that’s tight together. She is shooting three shots at 18 yards through the same ragged hole now. Being a retired machinist I did some other work on my rifle as well thanks
What’s the point of cutting the barrel down on the 99S? Surely that just reduces accuracy and power? I’m thinking the logic is to reduce the snappiness of the gun?
you should have seen what my daystate wolverine .30 did to 9 full beers someone dropped the 12 pack and thought all was lost 9 full beers all warm and shaken up POP beer and glass all over the place the wolverine is 100 ft/lbs beast of a rifle stuff blows up real good at the top of the shot string it shoot the 50 grain JSB's at 950's me laughing like an idiot
