    Not seen a fix for weeks! Nicely played.

    Depends. How close can you get to the mice? ?

    It's lousy getting old. My right is terrible, a stigmatism or something. If I look through my right eye alone it is dark. It has really affected my shooting and one reason I gave up my centerfires. Close range shooting is my thing now. Ten years from now if I can still shoot I can see it being shotgun only! Probably a 10g single for Charlie. My airguns I have notice recently my mounting is paramount in aiding a good shot despite failing site. I know that means little to most but it kind of shows how the whole being is the shooting system not just the rifle.

    Me too. When the zero is spot on.

    Got up to watch the sunrise after that storm yesterday and in the calmer weather check the zero of my 22 on this Winchester ammo I got recently. The subs are quite impressive. After some adjustment up and left off hand plinking had me shooting to 150 yds easily. It also explains why I was struggling a little on the rabbits last week! Now have a 60yd zero and the lasers are on at 100. The reticle post comes in at 150 for lasers and 100 for subbies, or thereabouts. Must say I have really been enjoying my 22 again these past few months. U.

    Canadians can hunt with archery gear, carry antique handguns in the wilderness, can own and shoot handguns licensed elsewhere and have less hoops to jump through than us for rifles. You can keep your as you say civilised (uncivilised actually) world I want to live there!

    In all honesty, any avid airgun hunter is probably best getting an FAC. Then one can forget all about 'the limit'! Whilst it's a pain to sell them once your in the system acquiring another is routine. Also, I am of the opinion that a little extra umph certainly does make a difference in small game. Over normal airgun distance it flattens trajectory and helps a little with the wind. Next ticket I may add my little 99 to my licence so I can run it around 13 and not fret. There are so many airguns capable of more than 12 that are hamstrung and definitely not at their bes

    What police? Unless one is being a complete all round idiot in the wrong place it ain't going to happen.

    And I am staying with my Mrs and grandaughter today. I doubt I will get out. Might do some cooking, certainly dress a rabbit. Anyway those that do, stay warm, dress well and have a grand time. U.

    Put the wacky baccy down now, even I was slurring reading the above!

    Subbies without a mod make noise pretty much as loud as hv for all intents and purposes.

    How long have you had your current licence bud? Think once past 3years the conditions come off land wise and so also most likely would not be added Besides, won't the air rifles deal with the mice ?

    What a grand winter day. Bitter cold breeze, frost and sun. Ideal I thought for a black powder gun. Loaded the 45 with ball first, just on a few thin cards and one on top to hold it in. The first shot, a forty yarder the ball just snook over its head, a belting looking rabbit as well. I stalked into the cold wind but was not seeing many rabbit but what I did see were out of the wind so I got to a sunny bank side out of the wind and sure enough in the sun was a bunny all of ten yards away! A blackbird was betraying me and the rabbits ears were listening intently! Eventually

    I thought you can carry an antique original in the wilderness? And muzzleloader pistols??
  15. Underdog
    I lament I can not use a muzzle loading rifle for hunting and archery equipment. I also lament that we can not hunt with handguns or even hunt deer with pistol calibre carbines/rifles......legally! U.

    I once used a cheap Springer that was doing 650 FPS with a h&n trophy about 21grn. It was an awesome bit of kit and flattened stuff easily. It shot like a sub12 22 trajectory wise. It also shot the 30grn Superdomes to 30 yds pretty flat too.

    Excellent photos. Looks a lovely place. U.

    Self retrieving rabbits! Could do with some of them down here Stav!

    I don't know how you guys do it but I can get amazing results from my 22 by pulling the bullet, loading the case in the breach and then I get a small funnel and fill the barrel with powder, black powder. When full I take the pulled bullet and hammer it in the end of the barrel, usually after a couple of hits from the mallet I remember to apply the safety, well you can't be to careful can you. Goes off with hell of a bang and 1000yd shots are easily made at night in fog! The blast does singe hair (if you've got some) but picking bits of brass case out her face is a pain so I only

    Is it raining oop there? Keep yer powder dry!
  21. Underdog
    Same as above. I did think I could feel a very slight increase in recoil.....don't laugh. It's a sales gimmick really! Bet someone just screwed up making the forming dies and they made thousands before they realised!

    50w, is that like the old 200w bulbs?
  23. Underdog
    Not me mate, I could smell the poop from here!
  24. Underdog
    Mine is usually between 50-60 yard zeros but my rabbit shooting is close shooting, depends on your ground a bit.
  25. Underdog
    Yes, they reckon one in 16" twist isn't enough (always) to control the wobble coming back to sub sonic. I tend to think of HV ammo for just more clout and not really range extension. In saying that at normal 22 ranges a subbie is ample!
