    What do I know, but this is the result of a few calibres on 12mm steel plate at 100 yards. None went through, and its interesting to note the twist pattern on the back of the plate (and to some extent on the front with the .308), some of this was near dusk as well, and the firework display was a bit special. Front back side

    May I suggest you put these in the For Sale section, I'm sure you can easily achieve £10 or more per magazine, and then simply donate it to charity should you so desire.

    I've long thought that air rifles below 30ft lbs should be available on a shotgun certificate. (30ft lbs because many air rifles except the extreme ones, top out around 25ft lbs so it gives some margin for safety). In addition, in any event, I think there should be a buffer available of say 5 ft lbs in which you get warned and forced to recertify the rifle at cost through a RFD rather than prosecuted to allow for any slight variations that might cause the limit to be accidentally exceeded (given that there are more variables than with Firearms Ammunition). The cost should serve as a deterr

    Do you/anyone have any links to any of his vids please? Cheers

    I can't quote specifically on the Anschutz, but that is commonly the case with magazines, easy enough to try!

    It most certainly is! I am fortunate that PRVI delivers perfectly acceptable field performance in all my centrefires. If I was still serious about target/competition they would definitely not be on my list, but for the cost of PRVI it just isn't worth me reloading. Now, as regards Home Brews, a certain gent I know rather well started reloading a few years back, he knew nothing to start with and even his reject reloads shot better than PRVI. It was an eye opener for me just how good they can be, and how good he has now got (but he keeps tinkering). So, if you want to play you w

    This question goes round and round, it should be pinned, the answer is always the same. Unless you have a very good reason not to, then simply get a SAK.

    Who knows who/where is the cheapest at any given time, but these are worth a look. http://riflemags.co.uk/cz-10-round-steel-22lr-magazine-452-453-455-brno/ Edit You are also in the Airguns section, you may get more help here............... Reloading, Optics & Gun Accessories

    That will be down to you. Some like 10, others 5. If you use a rifle sling try your 10 for a while, depending on the adjustment you have on the sling, throwing the rifle over your shoulder can sometimes result in a thump in your back with a 10 shot magazine. Even if you prefer the 5, a 10 shot mag is a good way to carry 10 spare rounds without them getting dirty or rattling about, just feed them into the 5 round mag as required!

    The Firearms lady was having an off day! Who knows the circumstances of the call, or the conversation with her, or the landowner, but just because a landowner uses 22-250 it doesn't mean the lands is cleared for it. I use rifles/calibres regularly on land that the homeowners themselves would never get permission on!

    Can't help but agree, if you go for an ASE try before you buy (if you can). I had an S5 many years back now, it was heavy, and whilst it was well made and pretty good at moderation it caused balance issues on the rifle!

    Whatever your definition of small game is, a .22lr can accommodate a lot. You really need to get land first and find what quarry is on it, then tailor the rifle to your requirements. No region is going to give you any rifle for land/quarry you don't have. Alternatively, join a club, get some experience/rifles/contacts!

    YES!

    Everyone has the best moderator for them, and they are all different. Only you can decide on type/size/weight/price/etc. There is very little between them all from a moderation point of view, but stick to one as calibre specific as possible. The P8 Compact works for me as a package! .223 .243 .308

    I don't think many would disagree at all, but the real world just isn't that simple sometimes!

    Whilst we have every right to jump up and down about inefficiencies, in the case you mention there does not seem a great deal that can be done. Even a Temporary certificate will not allow you to buy ammo!

    I'm really not following the OP, is it a wind up, very wrong on several levels!

    Worst case...circa £30 each way for shipping (less if they are shipping more than one rifle) circa £40 for proof (less if they are sending more than one rifle). So that's £100. Yet they are charging £140 (apparently). Around £120 for cut thread crown and proof from a TOP man round here. £200 is taking the Michael!

    It isn't usually that difficult to find the dens, and nobody sets out with the intention of causing suffering. I have land where foxes are an asset and we leave them, and land where they are public enemy No1. There can be no sentimentality when a job has to be done!

    £200 to cut and proof...someone is taking the Michael!

    Never say never, lots of people get an Open/Unrestricted FAC at first grant, but admittedly the majority don't seem to. Mentoring has been done away with in just the same way every region have been advised to use AOLQ. Never take anyones word for land being cleared, always check with the region yourself.

    If you use rodenticides in accordance with directions and the Law, making sure they are in species specific and tamper proof containers where required, the chances of poisoning none target species are as close to Zero as you can get. Secondary poisoning also offers a VERY SMALL risk if you use rodenticides appropriately.

    Diver Wanted!

    Deker posted a topic in General Talk

    I need the hull of my boat cleaned, only the area below the water line, it is only river so just a bit of light weed, it was also out of the water and cleaned thoroughly only 18 months ago so it will probably only need a light cleaning. Boat is on the Thames near Henley, on a private mooring with a private landing stage. Money is available for this task, or perhaps a contra deal of a day out on the boat, or perhaps a diving trip on the boat. If you are up for it, or know someone who may be, please PM and we can discuss details. Cheers

    Well, that's FEO for you! It is not a legal requirement, although I don't deny I keep mine with my ammo as well. It is all but impossible if you think about it, what about semi auto .22lr/WMR and FAC air rifles, removing the bolt/firing mechanism can be far from easy!
