    Pleased you like it I enjoyed the challenge. Dicehorn has shown me some of the groups that Rugar 204 is now shooting so pleased for you. Got to say one of the guys in the work shop has now got the itch for a 204 and is going to take a look at a Hower or will go the proven route of a Remington and we will do all the normal things to it. Thanks for your kind words SC drop in for a coffee bring the cakes! what is the world coming to!! some dodgy plywood... ..

    If you only EVER want to use it for range work off a flat surface consider the fixed (not sure I would even then)! For ALL other applications the TILT! Harris if you can!!

    At the end of the day, it matters not because the LAW states what MUZZLE VELOCITY is required. John 1700 ft-lb requires a given muzzel velocity / bullet weight The law states NOTHING about any Muzzle velocity, only energy in England/Wales!

    Totally agree, and sometimes you would be surprised just how close 2 seemingly very different bullets can be!

    Too subtle I guess..it is illegal to lamp Crows and Jays!!!

    Guys As I've said before, it is good to see you are keen, and the next generation coming on, but if you intend to develop your shooting you really must gen up on the law!! ATB!!

    You cannot generalise that way, on some sites a breaking twig clears a field, and rabbits learn anyway!!

    I suspect it will next time once they realise 42 of their family and friends didn't come home!

    I'm guessing it could be a .204

    Apart from the fact it is stamped on the barrel, its not that difficult to look down the barrel and work it out...its easy enough to measure the barrel and usually easy enough to count the twist!

    This seems to be getting a bit involved. I have the .22lr, .17HMR and .22WMR and a load of air rifles and centrefires and shotguns as well, so I can cover most problems. IF you feel you have issues with a .223, and or money is tight, get the .17HMR and a Hornet, forget the WMR. Lets get it straight here, I love the WMR and have a use for it but from the situation you outline the HMR and Hornet seem to be your best option. You need to talk to your FEO reference buying and storing the Firearms, if they are to be stored elseware then they will have to appear on your Uncles FAC as wel

    Ok, another vote against.... When my lad was looking for his first .22lr he liked these so we went and played with some... ......he bought a CZ!

    To do it properly and follow this malarkey is a right pain, and I never do, but I do go a long way towards it, Seems my centrefires can shoot just about anything I want to feed them...can't believe it is anything to do with the care, time and effort I put into them when they were new, guess I must just be lucky!!

    If they are in season you can shoot them whatever, if they are not then you will have to plead a case to Natural England.

    The simple method is Meths, pure and simple, I put the tail and meths in an old clean coffee jar, FILL with meths, lid on and leave for about 3 weeks...4 max, turn/shake every couple of days. Extract from meths, ring out tail and retain, and filter, all meths for the next one. Wash tail thoroughly in MILD shampoo and leave to dry naturally, kneading regularly to stop it going hard and brittle. Easy!

    When my HMR was brand new it did without doubt favour the Hornady 17g, several others were terrible (especially the 20g loads), but now it has seen many thousand rounds it is happy with just about everything, although it is still not comfortable with Winchester, could always be a slightly iffy batch of course. The 20g is actually quite good now, but it still seems to like Hornady 17g the best!!! Don't ask me why!

    He will have to do whatever your FEO wants him to do. And Yes, in principle he will have to accompany you every time you go out until you are signed off. Commonly 6 months AND 6 Deer, but there are no specific rules, your FEO will tell you what is expected from him!
  20. Deker
    I know next to nothing about reloading but I am pretty sure you can get 50g, and certain you can get 55 and 58 in .243!

    hi mate ,if your howa is the same as mine fit bipod as normal on the front sling stud.mine has the hogue stock same as yours. What he said!

    Nobody can really tell you, this is personal, only advice really is ..if you can't see it you can't hit it, so make sure glass and reticle are to your liking!
  23. Deker
    On the problem you outlined above, he is incorrect.. "i want to shoot rabbits bolted by the ferrets and a bit of decoying and crow and pigeon shooting" However, I'd say it is infinately possible you will also have a use for a .22lr. As there are two of you then problem solved potentially, if you can get both and your parents go for it!

    Take a look at the pinned section at the top of this forum, if you have any questions about the process after reading that then fire away.

    New gun/barrel, innexpensive scope, budget ammo....... you should be well pleased with 2" at 200!
