    I have been messing around with a friend's laser with the thought of using it to pin point shot rabbits so when I or my pal knock over a rabbit at night, it would be possible to switch on the laser to roughly point to where the dead bunny is as we take it in turns to go out and pick up when the other one is shooting. Now on large stubble fields or grass for that matter at 50 - 80mt, it can be very tricky to find the quarry. I know a thermal spotter would be much easier and it is one the cards but nevertheless I would like to try a laser out. So have any of you used one and if so wh

    Why fix it when it was not broken, not impressed at all.

    I did wave as I drove past on Saturday only just made it to Derek Lee before closing time. I had a look at the other Webley/FX 2000 on their website, it does look good. I am wanting a .22 ratter with a decent shot count but having only just paid for my .22 rimfire, it will have to wait a little me thinks. Let us know when you are a bit quieter Simon and I will pop over mate. Phil

    FAC or not, that is cheap. Rapid FAC versions can and do fetch higher prices than this as did mine and I have an agreed sale at the price I paid. Phil

    I am a bit late on this one Simon but deffo up for trip over to you mate as jimmy said it is an eye opener to see what you can do with an air rifle. I will be passing your door tomorrow afternoon on my way back from a fortnight in Suffolk but don't worry I am not going to drop in without notice and we need to get everything unpacked. It would be good to get over to see you again at some point Simon. Phil

    To be honest for your use, I would have thought a scope with a 3_12 x 44 would be fine but an 'AO' model will be a major advantage so that you can focus up on the target. Phil

    Just as a matter of interest lads, I had an invite to attend a presentation given by Lincolnshire police to launch a new system for license application, renewal and variation. The new scheme is being launched in Lincolnshire and is online in order to speed up the process. I asked the bobby who came to see me the other day but he knew nothing of it and between us we could only see an improvement in the initial process because the officers will still need to do the leg work so jury is out on this one but IF it speeds things up, spot on. My wife sent in her shotgun certificate for renewal

    Well I NEVER thought of that Mark............................hell of a good idea but I think either my cats or one of the many foxes in our village would mess things up a bit AND my youngest daughter would kill me........................................................................I love it mate. Nice one. Phil

    I don't do face book and never will although I know I do miss out on some good shooting topics but the shite and trouble I hear from that place is something I don't want to get involved in, I will stick with the abuse on here Never met Si but respect his ability but must say the vid clip on the link is the worst thing to post on any media format, seeing the squirrel flicking about as we all know they do at times is giving the anti brigade and some arsehole reporter just what they want............................an easy target, the hunter.

    Welcome aboard matey How things have changed, yes, I thought that a few years ago after coming back into airguns after many many years away. The art of getting land to shoot on is in my humble opinion, ask EVERY person you know for ratting or crow problems etc etc and ask if THEY know any land owners, be creative in the search. You may well be surprised at some of the places some of the guys on here shoot or used to, from churches to industrial estates to allotments to manor houses to large farm estates, just keep at it.

    I don't have anything of that order Jimmy but if you contact any steel stockholder, they will have loads of offcuts which I am sure they would give you. Have a look in yellow pages for steel stockholder and steel fabricators locally mate. Phil

    I have been looking into the subject of reloading 12g cartridges and there is no advantage at all BUT the price advantage shows when loading 3 /3.5'' mags or smaller gauge shells and very much with .410. Clay and Game reloading is a good place to start and helpful people. I kicked the idea into touch but may well now buy a loader for wildfowl cartridges as they are so expensive. http://www.claygame.co.uk/ Hope that may help Phil
