Full FAC air set up + 12G O/U for sale

[some bloke]

This FAC set-up is also listed elsewhere.

I've now decided to sell this lovely regulated lightweight slim walnut stocked .22 BEN Taylor And Son (of TheoBEN fame) FAC FX Cyclone Carbine/Weaver classic scope combo with sound moderator on ticket, a 3L 300 bar charge bottle/whip in test till July 2029, a Combro chronograph, a nearly full tin of pellets and 5 magazines, spare seals and a regulator service/adjust tool. Plus an old Italian Breda 12G O/U. All for a fantastic bargain at only £500.

The rifle has three regulated power settings up to 26ftlb, currently providing 40 regulated shots before it comes off the regulator (when the 5th full mag is emptied its had 40 shots so needs a recharge. It can be set at higher ftlbs with a reduced amount of regulated shots.

A photo shows three 8 mag strings at each power level. The power level strings were checked using the Combro chrono in the photo.

I lost a location where we needed a discrete air rifle in a paddock behind some houses when it became a Site of Special Scientific Interest - which banned shooting there several years ago, it's been basically sat in the cabinet ever since. Periodical checks for seepage showed it needed some seals replacing so dad did that. Spare seals and the regulator service/adjust tool will come with the rifle along with the original BTAS receipt.

If anyone is totally confident of getting an FAC air slot and a coterminous SGC in the next few months or so I'll hold it for them on receipt of a 50% non returnable deposit until their tickets arrive and the balance is paid. That will be declared here for anyone in this sales section to witness.

Reduced to £400 with an unknown brand 4-40 scope having a duplex reticle now fitted - but not zero'd. When comparing available options - some inexperienced rifle shooters may be unaware that fixed focus/parallax scopes have fewer lenses so let in more light than variable focus scopes.

The budget scope has the objective lens ring missing (and lost) so it can have its parallax set to to the distance it'll mostly be used at, currently set at about 40 yards in daylight - if an IR lamp is used at night that distance becomes longer due to IR light shift.  Fitted with low Sports Match dovetail mounts. This scope is better matched to airgun ranges - as the other scope had a 100 yard fixed parallax.

I should also explain that I was too thick to use the PC software cables included with the Combro chronograph - so wrote the power string results by hand.

Anyone paying a 50 % non refundable deposit ahead of an assured FAC/SGC grant or variation can take the non ticket items with them. I can retain the restricted items on my tickets until the authority to acquire them is received. If that person already has a SGC they can take the 12G too.

I now know the scope is a White Tail Classic 4x40 ish scope (remember the end cap ring with that detail is missing) and this is how to re-parallax it to your requirements. Be that in daylight or the different distance that is present when using IR - or possibly a red lamp too. A focus lens adjuster plate for that is included but a dinner knife will do the job OK.

Pasted from the BBS:

How to re-parallax a scope

Scopes, without PA adjustment, are generally supplied by the manufacturers with the parallax set to 100 yards (50 yards in the case of some rimfire scopes). This is too far for typical airgun use. Ideally for hunting parallax should be about 30 ~ 35 yards. Shorter still for hunter field target shooting around 25 yards being ideal.

Fortunately for us most scopes are easy to re-parallax. Here’s how to do it…

First set out a target at the desired parallax range. Then remove the end ring on the object lens of the scope. Most will loosen with a firm hand grip, you may have to use a strap tool to loosen the very tight ones. After removing the end ring you will find a threaded inner tube carrying the end lens of the scope. Some can be rotated with finger pressure others will need a flat blade across the two slots in the threaded tube to turn it. I find a steel rule ideal. Now unscrew the threaded lens carrier (moving the lens further out) to reduce the parallax distance. Unscrew slowly till the target, you previously laid out, comes into sharp focus. Fortunately for us the point of minimum parallax error is also coincidence with the sharpest focus at that range.

That’s it, you have re-parallaxed your scope.

Price drop to £350 for the package - no offers, no what if's please.

Let me be clear that the scope and 12G and anything else for that matter can be left with me if not wanted but the price remains £350.
