    Last night, I had a drive to one of my perms just for a look around, one the way back, some very small rabbits were playing in the lane and on the grass verge. I slowed right down to let them get out of the way and while I was almost stopped, a young badger came out from the long grass, sat in the middle of the lane for a scratch. I rolled the car very slowly and within about 15' I put the hand brake on. Expecting the badger to run off, I was surprised to see he or she was quite happy to forage in the grass so moving slowly with the phone camera, I got to about two feet away and took a photo,

    You must have had a BAD S200 because they are way better made than any Gamo in terms of build quality and supreme accuracy. Phil

    Black n grey laminate looks really nice. Just been looking at a Ruger .22lr, keyhole laminated stock , satin silver barrel and the fit is superb but I don't know what the price is yet as it had only just arrived from a guy who is selling up all his stuff. I think I might pop in tomorrow and test it while Trish is out ? Phil

    That is a fair comment Mick and yes you are right, using FAC can throw my logic out but it seems that the pellets are doing ok for Jeff so far so let's see what happens. Phil

    Right mate, Bilton is very close to Hull, 5 miles east of Hull in fact.

    Still makes me laugh mate. I will send you a text when we know what we are doing. What time are you seeing the guy with the cabinet. Phil

    Ahhhhh Jimmy, there was one exactly the same in my RFD a few months ago and for me the balance was fantastic, I really did not want to walk away BUT I am surprised you liked it so much because it is MUCH lighter than the Ultimate Sporter which is a heavy lump to me although I know you like heavy lumps of guns soooooooo how can you like the Crown apart from the fact that it is wayyyy better than the bloody Ultimate Sporter ??? Only joking Jimmy .............................................................................. not really, Crown every day of the week IF ONLY my numbers were to c

    I am really pleased for you mate and hope you and Nicola have a great weekend, I think you are both ready for it Jimmy. The new 510R Ultimate sporter has a reg fitted and a track under the forend to slot in all manner of things such as bipod, sling mount, hamster if ever wanted etc and the stock in walnut has a soft feel adjustable comb raiser which can be positioned in different directions from what I read.

    Jeff, try Uttings for availability and price because they have been best on both recently. The heavier JSB even at almost 50fpe simply group anywhere as well as the AA Fields 25,4 neither do JSB Exact Kings 25.4 or at least not in any FX barrel I have heard about. Phil

    It may be worthwhile giving York guns a call Tom as they are the importers of the mossy hushpower along with other options so I would assume they will also carry the best ammo for these guns. Phil

    You have gone for a cal that reloading would pay huge dividends and extend the joy of small bore guns. My pal had one which I shot a couple of times and what a lovely thing it was. Have a look at 'Clay & Game, it may be an interesting route to take. All the reloading components are available here. https://www.claygame.co.uk/lee-precision-p113 Phil

    Top flight competition do cost a hell of a lot of money. Top clay shooters are using guns costing from about £6k - £12k. When you think about it, in every sport where specialised equipment is used, the top level competition versions are always highly priced. Phil

    Yes please Mitch, pm me your payment details and I will send some dosh. Phil
  20. philpot
    Yes you are right, either pick one up at your local RFD or contact Best Fittings as they make all the fittings. https://www.bestfittings.co.uk/product-category/quick-coupler-kits-and-parts/ Phil

    It is Mitch, I agree. Phil
  22. philpot
    I agree with bigmac, A bit more in the kitty and go for a s/h Weihraugh HW100 or HW110 for that matter. Phil

    You will be very hard pushed to get better than AA Field 25.4gr. This pellet works superbly in fac and I recall reading on another forum that it seems to be the pellet of choice. Just bought a slab from Uttings as they had the best price and in stock. If you want some to try, pm me your name / address details and I will send some for you to try. Phil

    I was having a look at the laser units that were put forward by WJ as a means of scaring the birds away as they don't like the laser in their faces ................... well who would BUT farms that have tested these units are in various parts of the world are not quite the same landscape as here and I don't think any were tested here in the UK but I stand to be corrected if I have that point wrong. Now the greatest success was Texas, a huge totally flat land where you can see for miles with no stone walls, high hedgerows etc etc but even there they have to have a number of units in place at £

    Quote ''In an interview with the Radio Times ahead of a new series of Springwatch, the naturalist said that, while opposing various culling programmes he regards as ineffective, there are times when it is appropriate to selectively kill animals.'' He regards as ineffective ....................................oh well, thats okay then. Selectively kill animals, GIVE ME STRENGTH> Phil
