    Is this signature of yours wishful thinking then ...what calibre is the 10-22 and what reason did you give...and how can you have this many questions if you already have a 10-22?? Theoban Rapid 12 .22, Hawke nite eye IR Career 707 .22. Ruger 10/22.

    So why are you selling the .22lr, get both!..one is not better than the other, they are different!
  3. Deker
    And can these be purchased in the UK? John YES... Search back on this site, I had this debate a year or two back and someone gave me details of a dealer with them in stock....around Cambridgeshire I seem to recall...anyway...ask any dealer who stocks Aguilla, they are shit but they are available!

    Hi I have had both the ASE and am now using the whisper on my Anshultz HMR. The whisper IN MY OPINION is definely quieter. The sound at the rifle is changed into more of a "thud" rather than a " crack. Tony Looks like you could save a lot of money and get better reduction then, the SAK and SiroccoSM11 are both much better and cheaper than the Whisper according to Shooting Times!! Sound Reduction. Whisper 23.3dB SAK 26.9dB LEI 27.5dB SM11 28.6dB

    I would love to know what or which brand of .22 long rifle ammunition produces 205ftlb John Now you know.... Aguilla .22lr Super Extra Maximum HP or Solid, BOTH 204ft lb. I think that qualifies as being around 30-205ft lb.

    Going FAC on air may seem like a good option at times but for many the reality is different, they are of course far more expensive than a .22lr and far less versatile, and eat air... ........................remember a .22lr can shoot caps, short, longs, lr, shotshells..and probably a few things I have forgotten. It can also do it consistantly shot after shot and deliver power from around 30-205ftlb!

    The fox will find them...especially at this time of year when he has a family to feed!!

    It's easy...the party that repeals fox hunting, the hand gun ban, automatic firearms, sorts out the economy and lowers taxes, increases pensions, improves the NHS..................................!! Now then... where is that on the ballot paper?????

    There is a far bigger choice in O/U than SBS, but both are perfectly suitable, get what you want, fits you best and can afford...end of!

    Whilst time factors can become part of the equation there are more important things, like need, rounds fired, experience, land, etc, etc...build a strong case with lots of reasons and tell your FEO you need it Open...and keep your fingers crossed!

    ...and getting back to the original suggestion of .270 for fox...few would have this as their first choice!

    A .270 is few people first choice fox calibre!

    Interesting, running your suggestion through Quick Load shows that Tom would have to use 49 grains of H414 to produce 3798 fps or 1762 ft-lb using a 55grain Nosler. 51 grains would give a 99.7% case fill of powder, some compressed load Tom would have, but not for long because such a load according to quick load would produce well over safe pressures, so Tom wouldn't have much to worry about at all, not even council tax. I would love to see 51-52 grains. Pry tell, what load do you use with the 70 grain bullets? Now according to Quick load 52 grains of H414 would over fill the case by 1.6% or g

    I have to admit I have skipped through this so a lot of this may have been said or passed over..... ....a 22CF will knock down a Roe just as easily in England and Wales as it does in Scotland, problem is it isn't legal. Deer Act says a .240, but seeing as they are about as rare a rocking horse s**t the reality is it tends to end up as .243, but then you can take ALL deer legally... So forget the .222 and get a .243, 58g V-Max is an excellent fox round!! ATB

    22/250 and 222 have always been popular for the foxes but at the moment the 22/250 has the benefit of being used also for Roe in Scotland making it a versatile weapon for professional stalkers in the Scottish Borders. Its not a caliber i have, but a family member does and he uses it mainly for the foxes but did take Roe deer occasionally when he shot in Scotland. All our current shooting is in England so the .243, 6mm ack has become the weapon of choice for us both. We dont have an abundance of smaller deer in our location but sightings are increasing, so couldnt comment on its eff

    George. If I had written a reply it would read word for word the same as Snaps post except mine would have spelling mistakes. Enjoy you 22lr and do the job well at 50 to 70 yards first. Regards Sage.

    This would obviously be of interest to some, but a serious balancing act of money and people I suspect. Throw any rimfire you like at me with any sort of sights or scope and after a couple of sighters I can shoot it. It's not like you are getting smacked in the face by a centrefire, these are easy, if you are into serious target work they are all adjustable anyway, for field work the odd 1/4 inch here or there in a shot is generally of no consequence, and most people and ammo vary more than that. So, a market for sure, but how big is the question, not enormous is my feeling! Bu

    DON'T get yourself a .20, worst of both worlds. It doesn't do anything the .177 does as well as a .177, and it doesn't do anything a .22 does as well as a .22!
  21. Deker
    It isn't that simple, a 410 with a daft Magnum cart will blow your shoulder off, wheras a heavy 12g gun with a low velocity 21g 9 will feel like a pussy cat!

    If the owner of the firearm is the "Occupier" he can give anyone he wants his gun to carry and use all day, even his 5 year old niece! EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO HOLD A CERTIFICATE Shot guns 6.14 Section 11(5) of the 1968 Act allows an individual, without holding a shot gun certificate, to borrow a shot gun from the occupier of private premises and use it on those premises in the occupier’s presence. The presence of the occupier is normally taken to mean within sight and earshot of the individual borrowing the firearm. The term “occupier†is not defin

    One thing that anyone who has, or had, one of these will tell you is they are very ammo fussy. If you find the right ammo, and quite often you will need to reload, you may well be happy. Otherwise yours will probably end up joining the frustrated owners in the for sale section! ATB!!

    It is a generalisation and in a number of cases a 12ft lb is simply not up to the job...allowing for the margin of error to ensure a clean kill. Lets not get into a debate, but penetrating the wing feathers on a Pheasant is all but impossible with a 12ft lb, as with a Canada, the reasons can go on, even though we all know every air gunner only ever takes head shots!! ....and neck shots. headshots are the most humane. and i don't think a neck shot on a canada goose will go down well! take a look at this: http://www.thehuntinglife.com/html/sections/articles/shooting/ducks.
