    From the first post this was always going to develop into a 17HMR isn't up to fox debate. Some of you guys are VERY blinkered, I have used a .22lr, HMR and WMR on foxes and they have always been the right tool at the time, I have also used shotguns and a whole load of CF on foxes and they have been the right tool at the time. A CF is NOT the right tool for a fox, neither is a shotgun or a rimfire, what is the right tool is the one that any given situation dictates!

    I have been trying to get some feedback on their rimfire mods, particularly for WMR/HMR, for ages but I am very short of information!

    If it is the one I'm thinking about I have 2, they are made by Leapers, they are exceptionally good for the money, particularly the optics, mechanically they are a pain in the arse!

    Strageley enough, Rem HP Yellow Jackets were about the best HV I used in my .22 whilst their subs were probably about the worst!

    i did not like the night eye sending it back this week. The Night Eye has been around for years in various guises and is a mainstay for Deben, it is a budget scope that offers a lot for the money, what is it you don't like?

    With all due respect we live in an arse covering age, if the shit hit the fan and you had a verbal response from a FEO, and he had a different version who do you think the court would believe? Email is a better option, and many forces are happy to respond in this way these days, then you have it in writing! Let them argue with that! ATB!

    The norm is the norm but the only way you will find what works for you is to try some. My T3 .223 is 1-8 and can deal with everything from 40-80g very satisfactorily, I've not tried anything heavier than 80g

    Many of the smaller objective lens quality scopes give better light transmission than the bigger objective lens cheaper scopes. Don't get too wrapped up in the objective size, there is more to light transmission/clarity than objective size.

    Explain yourself, why is it a shame?

    Let me be the first to come out and say I don't have a clue what it is, the only A10 that comes to my mind is that weird looking Tankbuster plane!

    ALL scopes and reticles get very personal, but its a .22lr, it has no kick and the range is hardly mind boggling. Hawke, NS, etc are perfectly adequate as long as you can see the quarry clearly. Spend more if you want to but be realistic, it isn't a 500yard tool with a shoulder breaking kick!

    Well, that seems a pretty overwhelming vote for Beretta, seeing as they own Benelli and Franchi! :yes:

    You need the appropriate fittings for the surface you are fixing the cabinet to, this is likely to be different if it is wood, plasterboard, breeze, insulating blocks, brick, etc etc There are guidelines. One of my cabinets has side fittings into Thermal insulating blocks, back fittings into plasterboard and base fittings into wood. On top of that it has edge batton trim all round it securing it even more. Solid as a rock and a multitude of different fittings! My FEO who has only just inspected for the First time ever, was seriously impressed!

    range is the same, the bolt action does have the edge on accuracy, semi autos are cheaper to manufacture as there is no bolt. a new bolt alone for say a cz is over £100. I think you have gone off key a bit there! The bolt is fundamentally the same for every Bolt Action CZ Rimfire, and they make thousands, it only costs £100 to you, the manufacturing price will be hardly any more than pennies on the amount they make. So what is it about the action of a semi that makes it cheaper?
  15. Deker
    What calibre is the 1500? Something is very wrong here, even cheap mounts should be better than this, and why has this started happening after 2 years, but was apparently ok before? :hmm:

    Scopes and reticles get very personal. This is a very "OK" scope, nothing special, and usually they work, the mag is too high for me, I use 6x out to 200 yards commonly, sometimes further. It's not a scope I would consider on a HMR but we are all different.

    I'm not necessarily following that one. Rifles clubs have their own laws, especially Home Office Approved clubs, there is a whole different raft of legislation that applies to them, potentially making the use and transport of FAC tools legal for even NON FAC holders! :thumbs:

    I don't get it, never have, someone tell me what I have missed!? Who wants to sit in a metal frame all day shooting? What use is it in the field or in competition (where you wouldn't be able to use it anyway)! Just don't see the point, what do you use it for?? :hmm: Cheers

    I agree with your explanation Matt, unfortunately it is not written in any case law on the subject as there has been no test case. The original estate condition as you mention above does specifically state that they have to be a servant of the landowner or the landowner and under their direct supervision. The guidance on the interpretation is that S.27 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act is used as the definition of "servant" which includes anyone with shooting rights over that piece of ground. However, that is only guidance and for instance my force will not use that definition no

    Sidelock Any help and info is useful, but the Hatsan used to specifically say on the Box, and instructions DON'T use 65mm carts. The cart length issue is also easy to see in action. Loads are always under scrutiny for semis, and light/low recoil loads can cause issues for many semis, the Hatsan just has this and other problems as well. There are of course other issues with the Hatsan by way of design, quality control, materials, etc!

    Can't help thinking that is likely to end in tears!

    A sub sonic .22lr has the power to stop a fox at 100 + yards no problem. The simple fact is to keep this humane you need to know the rifle/ammo/ballistics very well and be able to deliver the shot precisely to do that. 100 is not normally a distance to consider for fox, if you need that range, or further, then you need to consider a different tool. :hmm: Foxdropper, I think you misread or I didn't make it clear enough, the .22lr sub has the power to stop a fox at 100 yards easily but few can do it, that was the point I was making, and also making it clear that if you wa

    Nobody is suggesting you should use a centrefire on rabbits, read back a few posts to pick up the thread!
