    Wood works for me, but it can still be a bit of a technique and can take a pull as well........ and the fox always looks very strange afterwards!

    They are all good, people will tend to recommend what they have or aspire to!

    Chuck away whatever laser/bore sighter you have. Check everything is mounted tightly and put down a 3 shot live group and check results!

    Works for me also, but I always wash the meths off Atb Yea it matters not pal, but you don't need to. I expect their are many different ways. At. I always shampoo the tail afterwards with delicate baby shampoo, it cleans it and leaves it in better condition in my estimation, dry VERY slowly afterwards to keep it supple!! Optionally finish with the shotgun cart as shown! EDIT USED Shotgun Cart!

    Sadly not, I'm the one you would have to pay to take it away!

    The fact is any Semi WILL jam given time. You can minimise this by a sensible cleaning regime and finding the right ammo, and hoping you get a good one to start with!

    Looking for a reliable rimfire for some bunny bashing, been advised to go with a second hand ruger 10/22..... (presumably by someone who has one for sale :laugh: ) Should not be in the same sentence, nothing wrong with the 10/22 but semis, especially used ones, and reliable are not synonymous! Plenty of good used Bolt Action about at very good prices! :yes:

    gonna buy the resizing die anyway just in case i find some free brass if ur still up for a tip up leeds. i was taking the pi$£ about the brass lads. a few quids worth of bass is nothing compared to the cost of running a chopper and the whole experience looks worth the money spent. however i was hoping some of you might have picked up on the ethics of the methods used. Where do we get off on ethics , we take every advantage we can in the field, 4x4's, Quads, rifle, ammo, lures, camo, etc etc etc etc...would have been better if she could shoot straight though! :yes:

    I thought the point of the EU was for the UK to support all the Europeans who wanted to move here, and the ones that didn't we would simply pay VAST sums of money to the EU to support! How did we get here from the Thread Title?

    Alli GEOFF.223 has really covered it above, most people can bore sight by eye close enough, and whatever you use you will need to finish with live fire anyway! I run 8 FAC rifles, I'm Secretary of a Fullbore Club at Bisley and I have no need for a Laser Bore Sight. But the choice is yours! Zero at the distance you expect to be shooting most of your quarry!

    The HMR shoots flatter and is FRACTIONALLY more accurate than the WMR, but the WMR in 30g V-Max is very flat and accurate and carries approx 70ft lb more out of the barrel than the HMR, so that maybe 3-5mm difference in accuracy at 100 yards is more than made up by calibre size and energy! As for a prehistoric looking round , what do you think the HMR is based on, and talk prehistoric, when did you last look at a .22 Hornet Cartridge, but what have looks got to do with anything?

    £15 for 50 hmr, they must have seen you coming! You are paying £17.50 for 50 .223. Admittedly I buy in blocks but that's nearly £3 more than I pay, and if I wait for the inevitable offers, nearly £5 more!!! very little difference in price in terms of performance, as you know .223 will eat up 4/5 times the range of the hmr, and if you already have a .22 whats the point in buying a gun that can only go a extra 50/60 yards when for the slightest bit more get a gun which can shoot 500 yards more?????? its a pointless calibre UNLESS u could get 500 rounds for £25 like the .22......

    How have you for on with it as Edgar brothers wreckon cz's are slightly choked at the muzzle and shouldn't be cut down. A lad I know did his own with a hacksaw when he was a kid and it shoots ok but is nothing special. I have heard and read this several times, and I am yet to find someone who has been able to measure this and I am yet to find anyone who has had any problems after cut and thread, (except botched jobs of course)! A rumour put around by Derek I believe...unless anyone can show us all different!

    You will only get opinions here... The HMR is better of the two for your quarry, and as for a CF for bunny/hare...forget it! That's my opinion! ATB!

    I bought some of the first batch in the UK, had to go to the Beretta Gallery in London for the privilege. They are certainly not for me, overpriced and inconsistent, for whatever reason they didn't seem to stop well either.

    thats what it says Problem is that if some city slicker hears a gunshot from 1/2 a mile away and turns round because he is either afraid or whatever, then you have completed the offence. Best stick to the 50ft "rule" in my view. My shooting runs along a motorway, feo inspecting the lad said, "technically you could stand on the embankment and shoot", well no you couldn't but he was mocking the 50ft thing. Juess, I've even had coppers pull up on the motorway because I've been walking down the footpath that runs parallel with a gun. I really don't think we need to get too

    As long as you have permission to stand in the middle of the road and shoot! The Law seems to have been mis interpreted over the years and many appear to understand you MUST be 50' from the road, that is not the case as you can see!

    :hmm: I think that is a big generalisation. The OP said smallbore, he didn't say .22lr subs, and even then...... You wouldn't have to worry very often if you were shooting Canada Geese, because they are commonly shot on land, and if you hit the things on water, you would need to worry much less about the VERY SLIM chance of a Ricochet!

    The Centre of the Highway business has also been debated many a time and that isn't strictly correct, what the legislation says is........ 161 - Penalties for causing certain kinds of danger or annoyance 1. If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, deposits any thing whatsoever on a highway in consequence of which a user of the highway is injured or endangered, that person is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. 2. If a person without lawful authority or excuse; (a) lights any fire on or over a highway which cons

    is that just over water for steel what if shooting on fields If you are using a shotgun you cannot use lead even if they are in your back garden!

    You can use it wherever you have permission and is cleared. If you have an Unrestricted FAC you can use it wherever you have permission and deem safe! I shoot a fair few foxes in built up areas, usually gardens!

    I don't think it is any great secret that I am not a fan of the Hatsan after the barrel blew up on mine several years ago now. The fact is the Hatsan has gone through design improvements and better QA since then, but it still has a long way to go to get anywhere near the Remington.

    Did I miss something, did you say fox IS Vermin or IS NOT Vermin?

    This has been debated many a time, I'll go and get a cup of tea!
