    This is where an old boy like me starts getting confused with terminology.....it's passed for... "Short range occasional fox", but they don't say fox on the FAC...what do they say short range occassional about then and how do they define it?? Lol, Yes they in talking say that both Rimmies are ok for "Short range occasional fox" they obviously don't state that on anything it just a verbal agreement between friends I've had a chat with my FEO about .22CF being up for Roe in Scotland but not in England...he agrees it's stupid and they are perfectly capable in England as well,

    Mixed results can be had during inclement weather depending on the specific circumstances. But taking everything into account I do my best to stay clear of the rains and strong winds. Snow, frost, mist/fog (especially lamping) and very hot or dry weather also have issues. Not often we get the perfect day in this country, so most days tend to be a compromise!

    I haven't seen her for a couple of years, has she piled on the pounds a bit?? When I first met her just after the Commenwealth in 2002 she was a typical 15 years old girl, who had obviously been using a 12g shotgun for the odd year or two, so size isn't really and issue! My lad let go his first 12g at age 10 I seem to recall and went on to love the tool, just examples but as others have said, fit, stance, cartridges and mindset are really the issue, not "I'm very small"

    They are not all bad, my first guy was in the job 20+ years and looked after my Dad and then me as well. Around 10 years back now he left, and I have had to deal with a complete ****** ever since, who I still have to keep straightening out about Firearms Law

    NO ...Please lets not start the old FOX/VERMIN business again....how does any other lawful quarry sound??

    So what is that all about.... does it actually say that or your FAC, the Fox bit is bad enough, and apparently totally undefined, but what is all this Malarkey about close range Rabbit...!! Yours The Confused Old Boy

    The green goes out when it is charged, the red stays on all the time it is working I still use heavy chunks of battery, a couple of pals are toying with the idea of these new light weight things but nobody I know actually has any yet, so no first hand experience to make any comment from yet!

    You are looking at this in a much to simplistic way, it is not necessarily a matter of what calibre is right for what animal, circumstances and situation are very important as well, (many calibres can be right)...and your police region of course
  10. Deker
    OK, it has got to be me then, is this the first time you have charged it in 20 years!!!!?????? What has happened to the lights previously and how long did it take to charge then?? Have you never noticed both bulbs going on, one slowly fading and just leaving one on when it is meant to be charged...NOT IN 20 Years of charging

    The Hornet and the .22WMR are two calibres that just don't get most people too excited. Simple fact is, the reality is dawning and people are slowly moving back to them, as they most certainly do have a place. If you can reload, the Hornet really does seem to be a winner for many!!

    Any shotgun will be a lot quieter to start with if you use sub sonic ammo, that could be a first step to see if that is quiet enough!!
  13. Deker
    There must be some but you are not going to be bothered by it, frankly I don't recall any, so very light!!

    I'm a little confused about your references to 20 and going up to 20 in the original post, so I'll just charge along anyway..... Always tricky this one and plenty of lighter guns around, the 20g in particular being commonly referred to as a ladies gun. Don't necessarily let all this malarkey get you down, there are plenty of options of 12g as well and light or low recoil cartridges. Charlotte Kerwood - Shotgun - Charlotte went to the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester aged 15, where she won gold in the double trap, and has done rather well in a couple of Olympics since!!

    Interesting bit of a rambling opening question.... This goes round and round, my .22lr, HMR and WMR are all conditioned for fox, as well as all my centrefires. ..and in the right conditions a .22lr with a 40g Sub with a BIG HP can be an excellent fox round. I run into more situations than many I suspect, hence why I tend to get what I need from the Police!

    I'd go along with point 1. Point two I don't go for personally, I walk around with my slip "wrong" but its comfortable, and with the butt flap in all my slips now as well, the chances of the zip going is "very slight" as there is next to no pressure on it, and even if it did the gun would be very unlikely to fall out!!! Cheers

    I have T3 Lite Stainless .223 and T3 Hunter .243, Both have P8 Compacts fitted. They both work well with PRVI, never going to win any world championships but for a relatively, very innexpensive round, they can both easily do 1" if I do my part. Having said that Mr L has made a few home brews over the months for me and I think it was one batch of .243 that were virtually in the same hole!!

    NO!!

    Generally similar responses on all the forums then!!

    Experiences and situations will be different for everyone. I've tried most over the years and settled on red (IF I needed to use one at all), lost it about 3 years ago, well p****d off at the time and had to make more use of the dimmer switch,...thats the way to go, never bother with the filters anymore, dimmer works as well as anything for me, better in many applications. ATB!

    It's the old chestnut, perhaps someone will actually do it one day, but there are still a lot of variables and it would be very diffifult to prove experimentally. Things like, air temperature/density, thermals, wind direction/gusts, earth curvature, etc etc!!
  22. Deker
    Depends on the situation, but whatever I will always carry a good stock in the motor. Almost always use a belt in the field, it stays stocked up with a "hunting selection" so its' easy to grab and go. Sometimes carry more in the pocket! If it's a clay shoot then I'll carry my 10box (250 cart) bag and stock up the pockets from that from stand to stand. If I'm on the Skeet, DTL etc, just carry them in my pocket, the bag with spares is always close, don't use a belt here, only just thought about that, dont' know why??
  23. Deker
    It depends on the variety...PRVI can be had for a bit under £10 per box 20! Others can easily be 3x that!!

    Clint, Inghilterra sta ottenendo il Male e la vostra destra tutto è andato in su. Rimanga dove siete e viva una vita felice! I was just going to say that!!!
