Glad its not just me that has problems yanking them up trees now and again, even with the Roe!

I seem to be having all sorts of IT problems at the moment, could be due to the fact I am in the middle of changing my ISP.

You have limited ammo spec above, .22lr subs tend to be in the region you mention, .22lr HV goes a lot higher than 1260 (I used to use Rem Yellow jackets at 1500ft sec), HMR you are in the region, but there is a little variation, and WMR can be up to 2200 or more.

Sub sonic ammo is very hard/impossible to find (if anyone does know somewhere I can find some I'd love to try it) VERY heavy WMR was the ammo, not the rifle, there is 50g WMR ammo available, (maybe more, I think I remember seeing 60g somewhere) it hits hard but the Arc is like falling off a cliff. Edit Response to philpot above!

For some reason I cant reply with more than a few words!

I'm having all sorts of problems trying to reply.

I've tried all of that and more, apples to, trapping rabbits just not bringing great results for me, such is life. I'll keep trying when required. I did pick up one of these a while back though!

If the police had shoot a bit higher and used a few more rounds when they needed to stop them we wouldn't have to!

Flippen 'ek, that looks the part, how many friends you got?

The .22lr, HMR and WMR are different! Of course there are some areas of moderate crossover and without doubt the .22lr is the most versatile of the 3, but the HMR does things the .22LR can't, no HV .22lr round can match the HMR for speed or accuracy. WMR is also a great calibre but Subs are as hard to find as Rocking Horse doings and the VERY heavy WMR are like falling off a cliff, but they tend to hit quite hard. I have 2 x .22LR, HMR and WMR and I need them all. .22lr is Winchester subs, HMR is Hornady 17g V-Max and WMR is 30g Hornady V-Max, after that I move to the centrefir
-
I get what you are saying about the HMR being a one trick pony, but that one trick is above anything a .22lr can do, so it has a place.
-
I believe that like for like they are the same price, so, if your dealer has the .243 cheaper it is some sort of offer or he has made a mistake, whatever, if that is the case then I'd grab it quick!

Howa are Japanese mate. Yep, nothing wrong with Howa really, can be a hint agricultural but they tend to work quite well! Tikka are finish I think, or Swedish. Finnish, owned by Sako, who in turn have Italian roots as Beretta have a controlling interest in Sako!

Never heard of them, but I guess they look good if you are another Damascus goat.

This type of question has been asked many a time, the answer is already pretty evident above in virtually every reply. For general field work I struggle to believe anyone would have a problem with a CZ. CZ can provide short, accurate and lightweight just fine. Anschutz are great guns but I defy anyone to show me they can improve on CZ for field use.

Anything but the heavy barrel and Hogue stock personally...but there are those that like them as well!

Sounds like an adder and as already mentioned grass snakes grow longer and have the yellow band round their neck. Whatever, every time I see a snake I do a double take and take a step back usually!
-
What never ceases to amaze me is that people think this is something new, it was common knowledge round my way when I was a lad, and that is more years ago than I want to remember!
-
As per the other thread, my solution was to get rid altogether, I had lots of trouble with mine!
-
I had an Ultra some years back, spent more time with BSA than me, heap of junk, but I do hear a few work ok! Owned it a year or so, but as it was rarely in my possession I never really got used to that odd loading system either.
-
Cleaning has been mentioned a few times above and is seldom a bad thing, but is not required in anything like the same way as rimfires or centrefires. Lead deposit is about all most air rifles will ever see, making sure rifling is clear is good, and being careful of crown damage will help, but generally not a lot of cleaning required on most air rifles! Pellet choice is the main thing and it may well take quite a few before you find one that suits the rifle and quarry!

What dealer do you go to? I would have thought Vicars would be a bit closer than a 140 mile round trip and they tend to want deer regularly! Edit... I was thinking more from Foxdropper than Yokel Matt so perhaps not relevant!
