  1. In that case, yes. I fill my 12L 232bar bottle from a similar 230bar bottle using a decant rig I had made up. You'll need to do something like this, but with a gauge too (don't rely on the one of the rifle/bottle, if it has one) and terminating in a fitting for your rifle/bottle. Just don't do it with oxygen, and make sure any compressed air is dry.
  2. If you want to visit A&E, go ahead. Seriously, don't charge your air rifle with oxygen, it's very likely to explode destroying the rifle and injuring/killing you.
  3. Nothing you can put through a 22-250 is going to rip a fox in half. Why not ask your FEO, get his opinion ?
  4. I don't have much experience reloading but had the same issues when I started. Lee kit does polarise opinion. But I've ended up with a mixture of Lee and Lyman and haven't had any problems with the Lee kit. There's no way I could ever get a double charge in a 22-250 case as it would be all over the bench, I'd be much more concerned about missing a powder charge altogether and running the risk of a primer-only round, or throwing a light charge. I make sure by looking through the tray before seating with a torch making sure all the powder charges look the same.
  5. Garlands have recently lost it, new disti is Edgar Bros. http://shootingsports.edgarbrothers.com/pages/Savage-Arms1.aspx
  6. Why couldn't this kind of offer arrive AFTER my variation for a .22LR comes back ??? Someone's getting an early Christmas present
  7. It's a 70fpe air rifle ... a firearm in the UK !
  8. Would help to edit your profile with your location.
  9. One of the advantages of having a permission on a large estate is that I can walk on the public roads that run through it with all my gear and a rifle/airgun/shotgun and no-one bats an eyelid. Except the rabbits I'm trying to shoot, they seem to be bothered by the sight of me ! On another that I walk from my house to, rifle goes in a case and the case goes in a hedge when I get onto the land. Only problem with doing that is I have been known to drive to one end of the farm at the start of my session, then try to walk home from the other end when I'm finished, totally forgetting that the ca
  10. Do you mean the magazine ? If you have one, it goes on a plastic peg under the start of the barrel. If you don't have a magazine, good luck finding spares !
  11. Depends where you are and why you think you need to shoot it. Avoid the ire of some by reading this first : http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/regulation/wildlife/licences/generallicences.aspx Then before you take a shot at anything live, kill every piece of paper you can find until you're 100% sure of a clean kill.
  12. Nice video. Only bit I wasn't keen on was the shot over the horizon at 1:00, but I don't know what was the other side of that fenceline
  13. I've got one on my .177 S400. No problems at all, and I always wear a pair of Viper leather/suede gloves when I'm out. It is possible to mis-align the mag when indexing at first, but you soon get used to the feel of when you've got it right.
