    This statement is a bit like the current gun situation here in the UK. When I was a kid a gun was a tool. You started with a ratty 410 and worked up through second hand guns to something decent. Nowadays people wont even look at second hand and guns are bought more as status symbols and many come on the market in as not used or only a hand full of shots put through them. As for range consider the fact that the humble 22lr rimfire has killed people at ranges as far as 1 mile. I think that the most range is obtained at about 45 degrees. The 22lr is shot competitively at 25, 50 and 100 mete

    I've never had a 22 hornet but I know a couple who have a like them for the handyness and cheapness of reloading for the round. Yep, I like the look of that setup,,,, but without that bloated scope on top of it. A simple 6x40 fixed power like a leupold would fit the situation nicely. Are you planning on shooting fleas off of the back of a dog in the next county with a scope that size, Wolfie. ?☺☺.

    There's loads that visit my front garden for the water in a plastic dustbin lid that is in a shrub bed close to the house. I have a load of pictures of them as they are just a yard Orr two away.

    This may be down to the scppe mounts being knocked off line. It doesn't need much to do this. A couple of mill at the mount could be feet out at - 30 yds. I would CAREFULLY re center the turrets by gently winding them in each direction to find the central position so that you have equal adjustment both ways. Put the scope and mounts back on the gun. Put the gun on a solid mount / table / workmate or something and bore sight onto a large target board. Shoot a 3 round group. IF the group is not where the cross hairs are then move /adjust /pack the bases to move the scope onto target. Th

    Sadam Hussain was taken to court for interfering with lambs. The judge asked Saddam how he pleaded. Sadamm replied that he pleaded ot guilty because they were..... Is-lambs so hw could do as he pleased. ?? Father told me never to discuss politics or religion because you won't get an answer, it will just go round and round in circles and you'll just get involved in an argument.

    Years ago i bought a pack of plastic coloured filters to experiment with. Like you I strted small. There weren't any sort of it night vision available. I tried a headlight off of a Honda 50 and a ¥@$% !!!!! Lead acid motorbike battery.!!! The beam was non existent. I then went to a Hitachi torch powered by 4x rechargeable D cells. this had a pencil beam. I tried all the colours... red, Orange, blue/mauve, GREEN the red and Orange were by far the best. The Blue and green were dim and a bit disorienting. The secret is to only use the light sparingly. White is the best because some

    The way that everyone is writing anyone would think that laws had been past outlawing lead bullets. As an aside I shoot 22lr target at a rifle club and there is talk about not being able to shoot lead anymore at some stage in the future but in reality there is no information or alternative guidance coming from the nsra about this. Perhaps someone like ELEY will come up with a non tox bullet like wood or mud or some other non tox substitute considering we only shoot holes through paper cards at 25 mtrs.

    No. I've had super results both accuracy and terminal effect with RWS subsonic. As far as pinpoint target ammo is concerned higher velocity results in greater area of shots. Just erratic.

    Yep. That about the right way to look at it. I think of the amount of days that I've sat out in a cold field supposedly pigeon shooting. But the pigeons didn't cooperate and I didn't get any shooting. The only difference being that it didn't cost anything. Imagine if someone charged for you to sit out in a cold field.

    I've never been on a shoot like that but I've heard of a few. On one shoot I heard that a seagull, morehen, squirrel, jay and other randoms were added to the bag. Not many birds per drive though. Caused by small amount of birds put down in the first place, no real vermin control, no effective dogging back in on a daily basis. And insufficient feeding at the right places to hold the birds. Another thing that gets my goat is the sweepstakes. It doesn't matter if it's a pound or a tenner, it's generally some sort of fixed con. I went on a shoot and some bloke produced a sweet jar wit

    Don't forget the humble 22lr has killed people at 1 mile range so it has a fair amount of energy. If my memory serves me, the max distance / angle is near 30° elevation . AND I think that a full grown African elephant has been dropped by the humble 22 LR

    The furthest that I've shot my 22LR or on a range was 600 yards.!!! YES 600 yards. Using std target Eley match. The target bull (black) was about the size of a car tyre. The aiming point was to put the very bottom of the scope cross hairs on the top of the butts embankment. Which was possibly about 20.. 30 ft above the bull eventually I managed to hit the bull by others scoping down the range and watching the bullets kick up dust. I can't remember how far the first ones where seen. Possibly 300 yards. I just kept lifting the gun and they talked me on. When I found the mark the bulle

    I watched both videos with Interest, being a club smallbore (.22 LR) shooter. WITHOUT BEING RUDE etc my thoughts about this experiment is that this isn't a sensible or practical way to do a test like this and come out with any sort of sustainable result of anything other than an amount of ammunition was shot. I do not know why it is but ALL American .22 rimfire ammunition is fundamentally very inaccurate. I bought a thousand Remington std velocity target rounds and they were so different round to round that all they were fit for was barrel warmers. Other brands just seem to be too fast

    Naah. People will feed it cans of dog food. The daughters neighbour used to feed about six with butchers bones etc. Over the years I've encountered about 3 x 3 wheelers and they all seemed in good condition and ran well until encountering some lead. edit. My sister had a fox hole in her garden and foxes would move in for a few months then disappear. The hole would be vacant for a while then a different Fox would take up residence. My silly sister would feed them and some were tame enough for her to hand feed slices of toast.

    Anyone notice that nearly everyone seems to be just accepting this as a done deal. I haven't seen anyone taking basic to task over this. The only thing I did see was a statement right at the bottom of a cartridge manufacturer (Lyvale) possibly where the management wrote a clear statement that basic had made a claim that in 5 years time where there would be no lead or plastic in the shooting field at all.!! BUT that at No stage had basic consulted any of the 4 major cartridge manufactures in the UK about this and that as far as they were concerned that this was an impossibility because the

    That's all a bit on the negative side. everyone want the success and everyone wants the money. You'd be exactly the same.

    I've never heard of it but is it the same thing. Just a mistype. It just made me chuckle about the ring piece skid. ???

    I thought Damacus earth powder.? What the he'll is that.? I typed it into Google and the Oracle came back with...... Diatomaceous Earth Powder. Are you sure you got it right.? apparently it is used to combat red might on chickens.

    I'd be out for a look round today but wife's confined me to barracks today. On a friend's clay shoot on the 28th though.

    And people want to drink this stuff.??? Still offal and greens. I say OFFAL AND GREENS. There's some strange folk on here. I've woken up early on Christmas day in the morning and the wife's not in bed.??? Yesterday the daughter asked me if I wanted to get out with her dog FIRST THING !!!??? I asked her what time and she replied about 6 ! I said " Have you been drinking? It'll be dark! , The dog won't want dragging round fields in the middle of the night." I bet the wife's gone with her. Total barm pots. The pair of them. Next thing they'll de drinking act and eating

    That's not right. A pink gun.!!! Well, its not even pink. It looks like some cheap Chinese plastic toy. How the he'll are you going to get all that shite off of that when it starts to fall off. It's hideous. Still no one will thieve the b*****d tool. It wouldn't piss me off if I was beaten by a pink gun. No woman that I know would ever shoot a pink gun. They would want to beat me fair and square into the ground with wood and blued steel. Some of those women get super competitive. PINK !!!! It's so disrespectful to the gun.

    Just watched the shoot video. you had a good day there. It would have been a bummer if nothing turned out to play. A good example of decoying on a piece of bare dirt.... no crop showing. I thought that the shot cam images were good. watching the target picture would help a new shooter as to what the overall picture looked like.

    Meece replied to jukel123's topic in General Talk

    According to.... probably just a load of nonsense. there will be management companies doing all of the day to day running. All Neville and Giggs will have anything to do with this is that they have a name on it somewhere along with probably banks and others. Don't believe anything in the papers. Don't be sheep herded to the slaughter. Think about it.

    I know how you feel. I lost my spaniel a year and a few days ago. I miss her presence so much. When we come home both the wife and me look for her to be laying on her bed or getting underfoot. Most times she would be standing in front of me gazing intently right through me or resting her muzzle on my thigh. The year has gone in a flash.
