Lamping the Night away 2012/13
Deker replied to JohnGalway's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Always a good read, and interesting to hear about the torches, well done John! -
Best tip by miles if you are lamping is nothing to do with filters, get a dimmer switch and use it!

:laugh: Yeah, that is a good idea, but I remember a few years back I ended up attracting one BEHIND me, who just sat looking at me in an Open Field not 15 yards away, wondering what was going on!

Barrels, chokes, actions, springs, seals, even the stock, Yeah, Edgar Bros are good at warranty work on the Hatsan. Sorry, couldn't resist! :D
-
Perhaps you better ask "someone" to make you an offer, anyone else you will have to pay to take it away!

Ok, what is the difference between the scopes from either country, except money? S&B more than suggest NOTHING! Please, not "I've heard", "my mate", "I read", first hand comments. Thanks

As is so often the case this thread seems to have rolled all over the place, at least this response has some bearing on the original question........ So, if we are talking a Single gun, and General circumstances, What would be wrong with a .22Hornet, especially if you were reloading?

Possibly a Good plan!

If the bullet keeps hitting the mod then it is very simple, something isn't lined up, that could be the rifle bore, the thread on either the rifle or mod, or the mod was loose! The inside of the SM11 doesn't usually fall apart, the components just tend to melt/fuse together, is it the SM11 you are talking about? This is easy, you just need eyes or possibly a rod if your eyes are ****! A Gunsmith can see the problem immediately, so I don't get why he has sent the rifle back especially if he thinks it is the moderator! :hmm: im not sure which mod it is but i think its the one in the

Allegedly! :hmm:

Fox attacks do happen but they are extremely rare. I remain sceptical of much I read in the paper, this guy grabbed his nose to apparently stop him breathing, Yeah, I'm sure that would be my first reaction waking up in the jaws of a fox, and teeth marks, where were they? :hmm: Who knows, but my first thought would be to dig deeper into his story!

It doesn't matter where your head is as long as your eye looks down the centre of the scope. Don't try and complicate things by Parallax discussion, especially as you have no requirement for range finding with it, at 30-40yards with a air rifle it is a complication you do not need. Just make sure the "target" is in focus and you look through the centre of the scope!

This wait a while syndrone seems to be gaining momentum, WHY, if you have the land and need, then you should be able to get a .243 on FIRST GRANT. You don't get a CF because you have had an air rifle or shotgun or rimfire a while, so why do you think you need to wait?

As The Duncan pointed out that is a Sirocco (Edgar Bros), mine melted! There are 2 versions, the SM11 and the SM1116, the SM1116 would be the better of the 2 on a HMR, mine was originally a SM11 (if you find a "P" on the end of the number they are identical but have been proofed), and Edgar Bros kindly replaced it with a SM1116 when it did melt. I have to suggest I do not consider either fit for purpose, and the moderation is nothing special either. The Tall mod on the left is a Sako and has a better build and sound reduction (I had a Sako on my WMR for years with no problems, the WM

:hmm: The law is the law, and it is perfectly legal to buy many moderators without a FAC, it's what you do after that which becomes a personal choice/decision! Just like when you buy a perfectly legal car, nothing wrong with that at all, but if you decide to do 40mph in a 30mph limit it then becomes a personal choice/decision! The need for a variation on Moderators and also Same calibre rifles etc has also been debated over several years, and proposals are in hand to allow RFD to do this directly with no prior police authority required. Don't hold your breath though, must be 3 or

That looks like someone has attacked it with a hack saw and sand blaster, just the same that is going to make **** all difference to your accuracy, there is no apparent damage anywhere close to the bore or rifling. Just the same, for rimfire ammo to cause that it has been abused and you may want to do something about it, on top of which the bore MAY be damaged so worth checking it out. My suspicions would be the inside of your mod has suffered and possibly melted! Does it look like any of these?
-
There are many mods that can be bought off ticket and are suitable for rimfires. Just go into any rfd and ask what Air Rifle mods he has. But DON'T get one with the accoustic wadding in it, a HMR will take it apart in no time! What you do with it afterwards is down to you.
-
There is no automatic ban on you holding SGC/FAC with that, but lets be honest, it isn't the best CV for a FAC application. Maybe a low key call to your region and a chat may be in order.

1:16 it is then makes sense then. that the shortest barrel they do is 16 inch in 22lr as the round wouldnt do a full revolution in a barrel shorter than 16 inch ....so 9" Barrel is ok for the HMR then? :laugh: Also, Anschutz, who are world renown for accuracy do the 1417, 14" barrel .22lr, @1-16.5 twist? :hmm: :thumbs: you got me good job i trust the experts ill stick to pulling the trigger Maybe a 9" barrel on a HMR would not be too bad looking at this, but as it stops at 10" we can't be sure! http://www.bullberry.com/HMRdata.html
