Try the sales section.

I had one, lovely gun as Jonjon said, the only reason I sold it was that the scope U fitted made it heavy then add nv with a ir torch, too much to walk round with. If I were to do it again, an A&M air tube, much lighter scope or Pard nv or pard 007 nv to keep the weight down and you have a cracker but in all honesty it would be the green synthetic stock for me reducing weight even more.

Sorry Mitch but I am not so sure they would let you in anyway ? Phil

Well I have never seen any scope like this and I think it is what is technically known as fcuked............................time for a new scope me thinks. Phil

Just got my ticket, so who is going this year. I must admit, I am really looking forward to this as I missed it last year and with covid spoiling it for everyone it is time to go and look at what I cannot afford ? I am on the research path for new clay guns although I have not told my dear wife, Trish, although one is for her anyway so it's time to take my little rucksack and stuff it full of leaftets to read later. Names and what day, Saturday or Sunday, I favour Sat myself, gets too busy on Sundays. Phil

Yes because the factory puts a coating of grease in the barrel for protection until it is actually sold, to you in this case. Phil

The cost of buying loads of tins of pellets to test which gives the best grouping can be costly so the best course of action is to buy 'test packs/tins'. JSB and H&N produce them and I think are available from a number of retailers online. I always liked JSB Exact in my .177 guns but others will say something different because ALL barrels can and usually will give different results. .177 JSB Exact – Test Pack Pellets - Bagnall and Kirkwood BAGNALLANDKIRKWOOD.CO.UK Characteristics: Characteristics: Wide selection of different weights Exact pel

Taken from the BSA words of sheer wisdom...............................? '' By what can only be described as witchcraft; BSA has managed to squeeze over 100 shots per fill out of this new Naturally Regulated (self-regulates without the need for a regulator) BSA Scorpion TS '' What a load of utter bollocks, BSA is at it again. Save your money Jason as I think you may reget it otherwise. Phil

Didn't know there was a new Scorpion but if it is anything like the Ultra CLX, apart from a side lever, no reg and a low shot count and all for about a grand. Hmmmmm let us hope is it better than that. Phil

Good man, it would be such a shame if we were not able to have a member get some shooting and help Kirstin out at the same time. ? Phil

I am amazed you do not have any takers, I am in North Lincs and have plenty of land a long way to get to you, a superb offer and I would suggest contacting a local gun shop who will almost certainly be able to put you in touch with someone local assuming you have no takers on here in the next few days. Best regards Phil

Not a lover of the BSA R10, never found the balance to suit me and hate rear bolt action, mind you it could be worse you might be thinking of a Daystate.......... There are so many decent guns to choose from, it depends on your budget and why you want something different to your Rapids. Phil

Whatever happened, it does not help our sport.

You got me, it just sounds like my cup of tea and to be VERY honest,,,,, I do rather like them anyway as a shepard, you could claim for it on your tax return ben AND you stay comfortable. winner winner xmas dinner.

I take it Ben you have the aluminium Bog Death Grip tripod rather than the carbon version which is lighter but even more expensive and if you win the lotto, you can now get the Bog Death Grip 360 Shooting Chair for about £300, just what you need Ben. ? Phil

He was advised that the police don't make the court hearing and so one delay after another, all adding to the costs, I am repeating what his solicitor told him, well you can only afford so much and so he was advised not to proceed. I think it is a great shame, not just for my friend but for anyone in this position, in fact the rfd told my friend yesterday that they had ( I think ) 7 guys bringing their gear in to sell on as they just see the thin end of the wedge and big concerns about their medical situation, whatever that may be, deciding to call it quits and hand in their tickets and get o

It will be a minimum of £5 - 6k even with his daughter handling the case, too much for him.
-
I know what you are saying an yes he may be holding something back but we have talked in some depth an the two things the police said when they came to pick up all his stuff was that he lied on the application, I checked it and he didn't lie at all, also a medical reason but he has no bloody idea what the hell that is unless they regard angina as a reason nowadays. He is totally at a loss as to the reason given because it is not a qualified reason.
-
Well we would like to think so Mitch and it may well be the case that all will be made clear, I know the solicitor has sent a letter and email stating the police have 7 days to respond so we will see. My friend accepts the decision as he feels despite the upset he feels an the stress it has caused him, it is simply not worth trying to fight them hence buying two sub 12 rifles yesterday. We have been out this morning to set up a new hide for him on one of our perms ready for a rabbit session and we will work our way round all the perms to evaluate what the best approach is with only the sub 12

A bit early for the gin Deker..............? Phil

I suspect you are right Mitch. I have been at the rfd today with my pal while he bought a sub 12 Crown .22 and a green stock HW100 .177. Now Mitch I know you like the lighter pellets in .22, Express / RS but what about .177 as my pal is thinking of light pellets again but I have not used them in the past in my .177 in fact my hw100 prefered bis mags to anything else. What do you think.

It was stated on the radio the other day that the whole situation of gun licenses are being reviewed so goodness where that will go BUT we will no doubt find out sooner or later.

Never heard of the 'Home office approved club' before, is that a national thing with many clubs or something different.
