  1. Had a 97 once, belting rifle but way too heavy for me.
  2. Because they are killing the chickens as well. I just had to go and retie it, a horse pick the bait up and run off with it! It's not going to work is it
  3. ....but I got to try it! I have been feeding a fox in the back field to my house. It takes what ever I throw over the hedge. Tonight I have tied a line to a woodie, it goes all the way to my bedroom and is tied so it rattles a wooden spoon on the radiator! I did wonder about tying it to my my Mrs big toe but that might be too noisy!! Have any of you mad lot ever tried this crazy stunt? U.
  4. After the successful airgun woodie shoot at the weekend I was keen to get the Chinese airgun under the same tree a couple of days later alas they were not going anyway near that tree again! So Chinky delight did not get a chance. So today I took my Webley 410 and my super thrutchers, a reload of 7narfs. They did excellent, 11 shots for 9, not to shoddy if I do say myself. I only sat at the bottom of the tree with a few deeks out. I do like a little session with a 410. U.
  5. Great, will have to try that ?
  6. I never thought of blue dot, I thought it may be a wee to hot. What load weight?
  7. Their coats probably insulate from the sun to some degree!
  8. The reloads worked great, more authority at both ends. Still have my eyes too.
  9. I ignore the horses, they hear my guns all the time and if I get a clever one trying to bully me it gets a good slap on the nose! If a horse is going to go nuts it's because it has not been trained correctly, not because of someone shooting. Those horses rarely get ridden because the owner is useless with them!
  10. This issue came about a few years back. CCI was under immense pressure to fill orders and so uppingg production speed only served to work harden the cold swaged necks more so. This is ammo is from that period, I believe they have now come up with a solution. Still a mouse gun though ?
  11. Woodies, I found some, on the edge of a rape field and two busy sittie trees. I got me under one and got 19 to hand and four lost in the tape, they were gliders folding up near 100 yards in the crop. The little 99, now with a mod on was excellent for the job pulling off a few 45+ yard shots. Would I of done better with a shotgun? I doubt it, I had birds coming while one was dropping through the branches! U.
  12. Sorry to sound a grump but this is another reason I don't have a 17 rimfire. They have to prime the case prior to sizing the neck down. The brass gets work hardened and can not be annealed because of the prime. They have improved this however and it looks like you have some of the old ammo. Make sure the bullet leaves the barrel before firing another! ATB. U.
  13. You worked it out you old...... There is the staggering drunk routine as well if the Pj's don't work. U.
  14. Checked the rifle today. 2" left! U.
  15. That's not bad off hand stood on one leg jumping up and down ?
  16. Jess has had it easy in this heat otherwise she is with me.
  17. Nowt worse than rape stubble on tiny bullets
  18. I told them when they build the new hen range to fit some wickets so I can get in quietly. But no they didn't so last night I had to just watch a fox hunting in the range. Eventually it came close enough and I blooming missed! I have no idea how!! It felt like a good shot. Zero check later! Went to another farm and a Vixen was down wind from calving cattle. Got down to 58 paces on the snoozing vixen. Seen three in total. Got a banging head ache, getting to old for this nonsense..... U.
  19. Good correction and that is a good ways too.
  20. Ok, I enjoyed that. 100paces, not shuffle's, good strides. 3x10 shots off hand. JSB 16 grn pellets. All groups were less than my spanned hand and pretty much the same. I did pull one shot completely off the board so shot another. Here they are with a plastic cap off a gallon can for target spot size. Oh, the scope is 4x. U.
  21. May try this afternoon if I can. It will be pants but what the heck. What's the prize! A kick oops the harris?
