    Thank you very much chaps, I am sure she will be fine. My eldest daughter and family have all had it and the 4 year old grandaughter seemed completely clear and about a week after they were clear and we went to see them, she tested positive the same evening that we popped round in the afternoon. Just sods law I guess. Phil

    Well so much for having a full day testing the rifles and sorting zeros now that all the scopes have been swapped around. A lovely day weather wise BUT my dear wife tested positive for covid so we are not going anywhere even though I am stiil clear at the moment. For two years we have been so careful only to pick it up from my grandaughter, thankfully as we have had all three jabs, we hope it gets no worse than flu and that I keep clear but who knows. Phil

    To be honest DB, I only have the wmr barrel because it was included in the sale and having owned a wmr before, I am aware how well they run but the hmr is for long range bunnies which I believe will be better for that job. Very interesting Mitch and I am not surprised at the effect of the hmr. Great pity he didn't examine the blocks in detail after the first shots which would have been more telling. My buddy and myself are out tomorrow to put our hmr rifles through their paces as over here we are enjoying some calm weather for a change and I will be doing some more test

    Not me Bernard but funnily enough, my ticket came back on Saturday as they had printed a .22 spare barrel not a mag / wmr barrel so now it is reprinted reading a .22 wmr barrel, I popped over to my rfd to pick up the said barrel, good job this guy didn't know about my barrel although in fairness it was included in the package with the hmr. I do have a temptation to tease on this one however.........................perhaps not. Phil

    I must admit that I have lost some shooting mojo this winter and moved to use the shotgun a bit more which has been really nice however we need to get round our perms or they will wonder if we are still interested. Phil

    I have made this type and found them to work just fine But I use an old carry strap instead of platting the parachord, just me being lazy.

    ? ? ? Ah, right, well I am a little slow at times.....................it's an age thing. Been on there a couple of times but not keen, I think I asked questions that were outside deer shooting so therefore I was a plonker which may well be true but I didn't need some twat I don't know suggesting that.

    Only been on PW a few times and found it to be either boring as hell or full of keyboard warriors however I just cannot workout what bloody site SD is, at first I thought it was our SausageDog, SD, but that made no sense which is rather like me, making no sense quite often ? but in this case I need a PM or something to put me out of my misery and tell me what the hell SD stands for.....................???????

    I also have given a helping hand to a lad wanting to get some land and so we took him a few times only to find that he then offered the farmer some cash if he could shoot the pigeon BUT on an exclusive basis. As it happened the farmer told him to fcuk off so no harm done but it does show that there are some assoles out there who are ready to shaft the people who helps them. Phil

    100% agree Si

    I don't think these two chaps would agree with you. BASC is not there for it's members in a legal capacity so lets just throw them to the wolves as they have thrown us it's members or in my case, ex member. The point here must be to have the legal support to not only stand our ground but to attack the very action we as license holders seem to face if these are chaps are anything to go by. Phil

    I charged my new Pard battery and it lasted no time at all so I bought a new charger which is far better, no problems at all now. Phil

    A good read Ian.

    Good inforation thank you. Looking forward to getting some lead up the spout.

    Thank you for that Bernhard, all new ground to me. It will be very interesting to see what drop I get at 150 - 200mt, not that it matters as I will expect holdover to be coming into play but curious to see when that is as people rave on about zero at 100 and still at point of aim at 200 ................................. nah, can't see that at all but I would bet a few quid that is why a number of blokes buy into hmr, I have heard that in the rfd a number of times but who knows perhaps I am wrong although I doubt it. The weather is looking good for the next few days so with a bit of luck I

    As a matter of interest guys, what range do you normally set zero at for hmr, I had thought about 75 - 100mt. I set all the guns in the 25mt range, now I switched the scopes around, just to get a start point and now waiting for the high winds and rain to bugger off. We had a drive round a number of our perms yesterday to see where would be ideal for 100mt out to 200mt trying to find somewhere in the lea of the wind which in Lincolnshire is not easy. Our sheltered quarry perm which is full of trees is a good place but limited on range and we found some great spots but the wind was quite stro

    Just as a matter of interest, take a look at the link which is an archive of gunmakers and on page 37, you will see a Lightwood FW who had a shop in Grimsby, Brigg and Market Rasen. As time went by, the shop in Brigg was known as Leonards which I think could have been originally Lightwoods, that shop was a reloading centre so my curiosity suggests they may be the makers of your spinner. You never know !!! https://archivingindustry.com/Gunsandgunmakers/directory-l.pdf By the way very nice finish to those cartridges ? Phil

    I have never watched a centre fire round being reloaded from start to finish as I don't have centre fire but nevertheless I thought it was bloody good, well done that man. Phil

    I stand to be corrected BUT I think Cheddite make them under licence so may be worth talking to Malmo Guns as they are the importers of Cheddite and really helpful people. They will know if I am right but it must be said............................I have been wrong on the very odd occasion ? Phil

    So how did you get the rfd to get it sent back again after all the aggravation when they said it was fine because I got the impression they were no longer prepared to be involved. Whatever I am pleased you are getting somewhere with it. Phil
  24. philpot
    I'm lost here Jake, must have missed something. I thought you had no joy with AA after sending it back and all the trouble at the gun dealer, have you sent it back to Air Arms yourself or through another dealer. Phil

    I must admit whilst our squirrel shoot only yeilds a fraction of Mitch's perm, but out of the dozen farm perms we have, we get a few bags of wheat from each for nowt so it builds up to see us through the season on pheasants and squirrels. Phil
