  1. There aren't any available. same as powder, wads, shot or anything. I don't know where it is all going. I was told that the Italians on the Fiocchi Facebook page are all up in arms because they can't get anything. Production of everything must have all been changed over to military production headed out to Ukraine. PS. I've got all sorts of stock supplies. I'm ready for the revolution brother. PPS. AND NO. you're not having any. Sorry.
  2. I would have loved to have a 1.7 cf rifle ,,,, and I had a slot on my cert to get one but at the end of the day I couldn't justify getting one because I already had a 222 and a 223. Along with a ton of other guns. I just couldn't shoot that much. The problem here in the UK is that basically you can have what you want ; IF; you can justify the reason for having it. You cant just say "well I fancy having one" You have to have a sensible ,valid reason. Now,, pressure parts such as barrels are controlled items; SO you can't just order up a barrel and convert something. Shooting is difficult
  3. Are the breakages the same part. They can't all be faulty, The design has been around since the 1800s so the most likely fault is you. you're the weakest link. the common denominator.

    Well, at least this thread hasn't been shut down due to someone mentioning the word Jews. Free speech still is alive.

    It doesn't matter what country , there are good and there are bad. There's just as many scum good for nothing people in the uk that would rob you blind as there are genuine people. Take the Turkish. A unlimited country but personally I would prefer to operate with the Turks than the Greeks. I have found them are very honest and helpful. Meat is meat and it eats the same. What you have to do is to get your head around the fact that there is no benefit system and they have to take as much bounty out of the tourist as they can. That dont mean that they are a load of kaniving thieving fel

    I've been to all of 5hose mentioned places. What people forget it that in the winter you have to go a long way down south to find heat. Not only that but in a lot of these places the season is over and there is nothing going on for tourists to see or do. As for not ever going to a Muslim country, that is very short sighted. They are just people like anyone. If they came here with that sort of attitude you would say what a load of arrogant people. If you go to THEIR COUNTRY with a sort of arrogant imperialistic attitude it doesn't represent this country. It all depends on what you are goin
  7. I hope that they caught it early. Fight it like a lion. Physically and probably more important mentally. If you give up it gets stronger, fight it and at least you have a chance. The medics will do their best for you. Live life to the full for as long as you can.
  8. How lovely to hear from you. Well.... we did tell you... back when you bought an older 22 target rifle and was intent on chopping the barrel down to about x inches. Firstly these guys can shòot but. It's the gun setup and the ammunition along with a LOT OF PRACTICE.
  9. I'd forgotten that I had written that nearlyover 6 odd months ago.
  10. Interesting read but we dont ever encounter buffalo in the local village, or anywhere for that matter in the UK. Another thing is that even if my freezer were to be empty, I'd never have enough spare space to take the meat.
  11. They're in my garden I tell you. Every day I have wash the residue off of my car bonnet. Sometimes there's 5 ..6 big splats on the bonnet from where they sit on the power line above. And along the front fence line in the lawn grass. They come down on the front and back lawns pecking away at the clover or something. The problem is that my house is surrounded by roads front and side and over looked by houses and road footpaths. The house is in a situation where controlling the pigeons by final solutions are not possible. Without getting the locals up in a posse and even being reported f
  12. Again there are all of these rumours about lead free bullets but it like the clowns at basic making a random statement about that in five years time that there won't be any lead OR plastic in the shooting field.!!?? So you have to ask yourself the question about .. on what basis did some bright spark make this statement considering the ammunition companies have a counter statement on their web pages that totally refutes the idea. That the supply of non toxic shot and suitable plastic components isn't and won't be available anytime soon. It's all there in black and white for all to read.
  13. The Mrs had a spell of sea sickness out in the Aegean and A bloke from a neighbouring cabin gave her a sheet of 25mg Stugeron tablets. They worked well. I bought some over the counter from a chemists out in Crete when we docked in.
  14. what's with all of this conspiracy anti ... anything nonsense stuff. unless you have dug a hole in the ground and live on worms, someone knows who you are, where you are and what you are doing. you are on here so you are known about. you have to have an internet conection so your presence is recorded. Now the sooner that you find out that you are just a grain of sand on the wind and of no consequence in the grand sceme of thing the better it will be for you. The general alert is not an app. your device is noted by being connected to the net in an area as are all devices. if there is go
  15. After many trials of lots of different colours I still come back to white. The reason is that it illuminates the target better/more. White light is more common at night than any other colour. House /buildings, town/street lights, car/vehicles. The trick is to use it sparingly. when you find a target DON'T KEEP LOOKING AT IT. SHUT THE LIGHT OFF ..... QUICK. You know the lay of your land..... or you should do. As soon as you know that your on you should be thinking of which way the wind is going and whether you can move reasonably quickly to a down wind position which will allow distanc
  16. This statement is a bit like the current gun situation here in the UK. When I was a kid a gun was a tool. You started with a ratty 410 and worked up through second hand guns to something decent. Nowadays people wont even look at second hand and guns are bought more as status symbols and many come on the market in as not used or only a hand full of shots put through them. As for range consider the fact that the humble 22lr rimfire has killed people at ranges as far as 1 mile. I think that the most range is obtained at about 45 degrees. The 22lr is shot competitively at 25, 50 and 100 mete
  17. I've never had a 22 hornet but I know a couple who have a like them for the handyness and cheapness of reloading for the round. Yep, I like the look of that setup,,,, but without that bloated scope on top of it. A simple 6x40 fixed power like a leupold would fit the situation nicely. Are you planning on shooting fleas off of the back of a dog in the next county with a scope that size, Wolfie. ?☺☺.
  18. There's loads that visit my front garden for the water in a plastic dustbin lid that is in a shrub bed close to the house. I have a load of pictures of them as they are just a yard Orr two away.
  19. This may be down to the scppe mounts being knocked off line. It doesn't need much to do this. A couple of mill at the mount could be feet out at - 30 yds. I would CAREFULLY re center the turrets by gently winding them in each direction to find the central position so that you have equal adjustment both ways. Put the scope and mounts back on the gun. Put the gun on a solid mount / table / workmate or something and bore sight onto a large target board. Shoot a 3 round group. IF the group is not where the cross hairs are then move /adjust /pack the bases to move the scope onto target. Th
  20. Sadam Hussain was taken to court for interfering with lambs. The judge asked Saddam how he pleaded. Sadamm replied that he pleaded ot guilty because they were..... Is-lambs so hw could do as he pleased. ?? Father told me never to discuss politics or religion because you won't get an answer, it will just go round and round in circles and you'll just get involved in an argument.
  21. Years ago i bought a pack of plastic coloured filters to experiment with. Like you I strted small. There weren't any sort of it night vision available. I tried a headlight off of a Honda 50 and a ¥@$% !!!!! Lead acid motorbike battery.!!! The beam was non existent. I then went to a Hitachi torch powered by 4x rechargeable D cells. this had a pencil beam. I tried all the colours... red, Orange, blue/mauve, GREEN the red and Orange were by far the best. The Blue and green were dim and a bit disorienting. The secret is to only use the light sparingly. White is the best because some
  22. The way that everyone is writing anyone would think that laws had been past outlawing lead bullets. As an aside I shoot 22lr target at a rifle club and there is talk about not being able to shoot lead anymore at some stage in the future but in reality there is no information or alternative guidance coming from the nsra about this. Perhaps someone like ELEY will come up with a non tox bullet like wood or mud or some other non tox substitute considering we only shoot holes through paper cards at 25 mtrs.
  23. No. I've had super results both accuracy and terminal effect with RWS subsonic. As far as pinpoint target ammo is concerned higher velocity results in greater area of shots. Just erratic.
  24. Yep. That about the right way to look at it. I think of the amount of days that I've sat out in a cold field supposedly pigeon shooting. But the pigeons didn't cooperate and I didn't get any shooting. The only difference being that it didn't cost anything. Imagine if someone charged for you to sit out in a cold field.
