    You could use the same mod for both but you would need a .25 baffle stack, this would help with the .17 but you would be better with a .17 baffle stack for the .17. Probably need a different bush as well. This will give you an idea! http://www.wildcatrifles.co.uk/price-list.html PS..unless you want to make things really complicated stick to the same thread on each gun as well........maybe best with 2 separate mods to be honest!

    The P8 is about as strip-able as any mod you will ever find. If you clean it regularly then it is fine, if you leave it you will find the parts become"welded" together and any thoughts of cleaning it will be gone!

    That's impressive, we all know that Jackson Rifles STILL made money on the deal, but thats a better deal than I know of from anyone else, so hats off to Jackson Rifles!

    They are good and well made but I chucked mine in because of balance on my T3 Lite. They hang off the end of the barrel and made a joke of the balance. I use a P8 COMPACT now which is better balance. Sound reduction wise I struggle to notice the difference, but the S5 was a more dull thud, and the P8 more of a tinny thud, not the best explanation . Good mods the S5, but the P8 Compact suits me better...and it's cheaper!

    Lampeter Shooting Supplies? Mid Wales Shooting Centre? Also, nearer to Keen's is South West Country Sports in Kenfig Hill. No gun shops in Swansea though, been waiting for one for years Lampeter! Never been there but saw one of their ads in a magazine a few months back and some of their rifles were very competatively priced!

    Guntrader is always worth a look but so to is the internet generally! There was also a dealer mid/west Wales that offers good deals......yes I know, too far and I can't remember the name either, it will come back to me just after it's too late!

    Ha Ha...such is life, if we agree so be it, nothing personal here anyway, was there an issue? ATB!!

    You could try a dimmer mate but lamp shy is lamp shy All my lamps employ a dimmer, there is a lot of difference between a 100w Full on light and one that barely glows! I think you will find bunnies will react differently.

    Clean the threads/outside with an appropriate cleaner/oil. As for the internals of a PES, then probably a word with the manufacturer or importer for any tips!

    Which part of WMR is a problem for rabbit, ammo is cheaper than HMR and a 40g HP WMR will tend to make less of a mess of a bunny than a 17g Ballistic Tip HMR. The 40g HP WMR is also rather useful for the fox! 30-32g Ballistic tips available for the WMR which fly nearly as fast and flat as a HMR, there tends to be a wider array of ammo available for the WMR than HMR so arguably more versatile. Headshot bunnies should be straightforward at 100yards with a HMR and all but as easy with a WMR. Cracking round! If you are talking bunnies to 60-80yards(ish), then no need for anything

    NONE!!!

    What white flash?? Are you talking glares from the lamp? Why would you see this only when you fired? If it is muzzle flash them moving the lamp isn't going to help, are you using a moderator?

    My CZ Silhouette HMR was probably the first sold in the uk, it came from the first batch Edgars got and I picked it up minutes after it arrived at a major Dealer, cost me £265 (full length barrel) but I still got a slip and box of ammo thrown in! There are always deals to be done if you are in a buying position!
  15. Deker
    Flippen ek, why did you dig this up? 3+++++ years old???? Perhaps a new thread would have been in order! HMR is not cheap, dealers often run deals on various brands, and Hornady 17g Blue tips have been a good price for a while now, if you can still find them, suggestions of £150-£160 per 1000, never bought any quite that cheap but done deals at £170 and £180 per 1000.

    Unless you take the easy option of storing the rifle moderator down! It is often useful in cabinets to store rifles top to tail anyway. Possibly the best option is both....clean the mod AND store it moderator down!

    What chart? 18 yard primary zero 40 yard zero = 10 yards / -0.73 20 yards / -0.17 30 yards/ 0.08 50 yards -0.41 100 yards -7.75 18 yard zero = 10 yards -0.59 20 yards 0.12 30 yards 0.51 40 yards 0.58 50 yards 0.31 100 yards -6.31. Simple to understand? John John You are joking...right???? LOOK AT THOSE FIGURES!!! You are comparing a 40 yard zero to over a 50 yard zero. An 18 Yard zero DOES NOT give you less drop at 100 yards than a 40 yard zero, all else being equal! Simple to understand?

    .223 if it is just fox .243 if you think deer as well I find both my .223 and .243 useful! (and the .308 has it's moments!)
  19. Deker
    WELL BLOW ME SIDEWAYS! I've been shooting .22rf for twenty odd years and the above has taken me by surprise. I've run the data in Sierra I6, Exbal and quick target and an 18 yard zero gives less drop @100 yards than a 40 yard zero, by 1.3" I've just fitted a new stock to my .22rf and was going out to zero the rifle, guess at what range! Top stuff Andy. John Please post the chart or link, that does not make sense! Are you talking 18 yard First zero or True zero? The bullet falls from True zero so how could it possibly fall less from 18 yards that from 40 yards??

    I really don't know what the best moderator is, and I guess best will depend on the individuals interpretation and requirements. ALL my centrefires have a Predator 8 COMPACT fitted, I make no suggestion this is the best moderator, but in my view it offers the best package of weight, size, balance, sound reduction, versatility, spares, stripability, price etc going, so arguably for me it is the best!
  21. Deker
    just curious are you supposed to take it off the rifle after use? cos i never do You are looking at potential issues of corrosive crud falling down the barrel or onto the crown if you don't. More prevalent in centrefires than rimfires. Alternative is to store the gun barrel/moderator down!
  22. Deker
    The MachII will not do everything a .17HMR will do. Phrases like BETTER are meaningless, on that basis a .243 or .308 are "Better", the HMR is NOT a better round than the MachII, it is different. The HMR nevertheless hits harder, is faster and flatter shooting and noise wise there is little or nothing in it. If that is a definition of better so be it! ATB!

    IF you have to chose one rifle for fox the I would probably suggets a Hornet or above. Fortunately I don't. I have 7 FAC tools ALL conditioned for Fox including .22lr, .17HMR and .22WMR. These are ALL very competant in stopping dead a fox in the right circumstances and I have a lot of call to use them in all circumstances from peoples back gardens to, barns, stables etc etc. Blanket statements that these are not up to fox is down to circumstances and experiene and not true. 50 yard baited fox next to a hotel garden and pond and 20 yards from drinkers in the garden! .17HMR b

    No idea, and I run a few Berettas, probably as well to talk to GMK..... http://www.gmk.co.uk/ they are usually quite good in responding!

    There is NO legal requirement for a DSC and there in no specific requirement for a Deer Mentor either, however, the odds are you will need one or the other before your region allows Deer on your FAC, maybe even both! I just got my variation through for a 243 for fox and deer and dont need to have dsc or mentor ,all they did was phone the farmer to make sure I was allowed to shoot deer on his land.Hope this helps buddy and atb on your application. You are fortunate..is this ALL deer species? I too was fortunate some years back and I have no DSC at all. Makes you wonder
