    I'd end up laid out next to the rat How man shots can we put into it before we weigh it?

    Cheers guys, It was satisfying to get one in such shitty conditions. It felt good to get home in the warm again.

    It's a nice rifle mate and, for a 2009 made gun, it's in excellent condition. ..... I just can't see me using it. Hi JJ, - so which rifles are you using before the Merlyn ?Hi Mark, For .177 pcp I use the GSX100. For .22 it's the Super 10. Springers are a HW97kt in .177 and a TX200hc in .22 It's taken a while but, I feel like I've finally got the full set that I'm happy with.

    ...... Last one I'm really liking this rifle.

    The end result of our efforts was a dead rat and wet rifle each. The one that I got was back in a pen, He was a big 'un - I took a picture of him next to my size 12 boot. He was heavy on the end of a litter picker I was starting to doubt .177 for rats because of the amount of wrigglers I've been getting but, the shot on this big boy put him straigh down It may have only been 1 but, I was happy with the quality The drive home was interesting - dark country lanes and pea soup fog. I was home by 10pm, drying and oiling my kit while enjoying a nice Souther Comfort. .....

    ....... of course, being careful not to hit those feckin' aggressive Geese

    Because we were there a lot earlier than usual, we bumped into the owner - he was well happy and told us that he's seeing a lot less rats now Indeed, most of our night was spent hanging around, watching the usual spots with the rifles up on sticks. I took a few pictures of the usual spots on the NV screen.... Because the permission is long and thin, most of the shots are through fences and under gates etc

    We decided to have another bash at the rat farm last night....... We got there at 6pm and stayed until 9:30pm. It was a little foggy when we arrived but within an hour, a really thick mist had descended - I could feel the wind whipping into my face and hands. The range on the NS Viper was cut down to 25yrds.

    12 years old ffs Surely the worlds security services have the abilities to track down and execute the scum behind this. ........ That kid is a year older than my daughter. He should be playing with his mates or doing his homework etc - not trying to set off f***ing nail bombs.

    Wise words ....... f**k 'em all, take care of you and yours Life is short short so, what else is there?

    Big enough to make you tuck your trousers into your socks when you hunt the feckers Especially if you're kipping in and old house in France, eh Si?

    Again, nice shooting BN But, is that half a dove at the top left

    Always nice to have a pet in the house mate - it helps to make a home I looked in on this thread while I was at work earlier - the thought of those kittens buggering about with the Christmas tree did make me smile

    You can't beat a nice slow glass of Southern Comfort But, as far as cans go, San Miguel and Kronenbourg are quite nice if they're ice cold. Even the dog agrees

    It looks like the 98 would be the one to go for As you say, it'll be a 100% keeper and, you miss your last one. Also, it looks like your collection needs a .177 springer Either way, good luck with the choice.
  16. Jonjon79
    I'd go for a 100 and buy a single shot loader DJ. That way you've got a more versatile rifle - perfect for if you ever decide to hunt and, perfect for target work. Also, if you ever decide to sell it, it'll be easier to move on.

    Nice shooting rick

    You can fit a mod to it Mac but, it's got a female thread on the end that isn't 1/2". My RFD tells me that Daystate sells an adaptor to fit a standard 1/2" BSP silencer. If you end up buying the rifle, I'll order the adaptor

    You're welcome mate I did feel like a bit of a c**t when I shot poor little Frank on the arse but, it made me laugh when he brought the rubber dart back, tail wagging, looking for a fuss
  20. Jonjon79
    The Rapid will be easier for hunting. You'll have more shots to hand and, you'll be able to take longer accurate shots than with the 97.
  21. Jonjon79
    Of course, I did take the obligatory trophy shot but, because the freezer is already full of Christmas food, I've decided not to gut and skin this one

    After a short stalk from the kitchen to the living room, I spotted a non native species on the sofa - a Chihuahua. It was aware of my presence and knew something was up. The first shot needed to be a good one. I managed to use the other sofa for cover to get within 5yrds. I took careful aim and fired. A mix of the shot hitting the cushion and the report from the rifle spooked my quarry. It bolted for the dining room table - it's come to feel safe under there because it's near impossible to catch among all the chair legs. I reloaded quickly and took aim. My quarry learn

    We recently had our works secret Santa and, some generous soul found it in their heart to buy me a new rifle It's light and pointable. It's small and compact. The single pump action works flawlessly, if a little clunky. It's surprisingly quiet. It's easily accurate out to 3yrds. Although with a little reckless confidence, this can be pushed out to 5yrds. The single stage trigger..... well, makes the gun fire. It comes with 4 rounds of ammo. It has modern blue tactical stock. It has open sights. I've been itching to try this out for days now. So, today, while little 'uns at
