    Like many here I have one as well, the hand is still the best and NOTHING is guaranteed 100% from any, worth having just the same, sometimes they will charge at you and sometimes the disappear double quick!

    I've never had a bad deer from the field, even though this is about the worst time of year for the meat, toss up between Roe and Muntjac for me as to which is the best of all the deer.

    Common courtesy!

    Thats a bit extreme, just put an extended mod sleeve over it to lengthen it backwards, a sock has been known to work, get a sunshade for the scope, tape over the bottom of the lamp, shorten the barrel, etc etc, there are lots of ways to deal with this problem that is common on many rifles and mods!! ATB!!

    We are a small country with lots of houses, so it helps to keep the peace. It will tend to help with shot placement as well, more so on some calibres. Mods are easy to get here, all you have to do is shout Health & Safety and you get one. Then save your pennies! I'm not aware of any special loads designed to work through a mod, but inevitably if you reload and use a mod then you will develop the best yourself, frankly I would be surprised if the load would make that much difference, mod wise! Hats...not a clue!!

    Yep...I can see that now!

    Your link was to Guntrader, probably the biggest selection of rifles available in the uk there, just take a look at the CZ's and you will get a fair idea of prices.
  8. Deker
    No contest, CZ
  9. Deker
    The CZ is a pretty good tool, you will not hear many complaints, and I am pretty happy, currently spread around my cabinets is this lot...the bottom one (wmr)has actually gone now but replaced with another CZAmerican WMR with a 19" barrel and SAK. Ammo prices from around £5 upwards, but expect £8-£10 generally (or more for the best)

    As you possibly know I have the Compact on all my centrefires now, up to and including .308. Sound reduction wise I believe you would need specialist test equipment to notice the difference from the full length P8. Weight and balance are always issues when hanging a mod on a rifle and in this respect the Compact wins hands down. ATB!!

    35 yard zero is bang on at 120 yards , 50 yards zero bang on at 100 yards , you might be cleaning it to much i found with my hmr that the more i shot the better the accuracy got , because your cleaning after every outing its probabley taking a few shots to get back on again , i wouldnt clean it myself untill its shot 500 rounds or so or when it starts losing accuracy again. i stand corrected I recon that is close with 17g ammo, but what is this all about??? If he is shooting wildlife at 100 yards plus, then stuff all this zeroing at 35 yards and "hoping"...simply zero

    When I bought the gun I had 60 Hornady 55 grainers with it so I've been using them up but will then be getting some Norma 40 grainers. DAVE What twist Rate is that one...1-8 or 1-12, I wouldn't invest in too many of those 40g until you try them!! ATB!!

    On the face of it you would be better with two rifles, but a lot depends on how serious you want to get about target shooting, 3 ft long barrels weighing 12-14lbs are not best suited for strolling around the countryside with usually, and triggers that break when you look at them tend to be a bit iffy for hunting! Lots of us shoot 500-600 yards commonly on the range, some out to 1000, with our "hunting" tools, we are never going to win any titles that way but you can achieve VERY accetable results, and you may be able to get away with a one gun offering that way!
  14. Deker
    We all come to our own conclusions for our own reasons and if you are after one of these then absolutely fine of course, but, can I ask what has drawn you to these offerings, as neither would even make the bottom of my list!! ATB!
  15. Deker
    Sorry, Looking at target only at the moment, hoping to go >500 yards eventualy. .223 upwards is VERY capable of 500 yards...the phrase "looking at target only at the moment......"..... are you looking for a dedicated target rifle or something general purpose for future field work as well? This will make a lot of difference to the rifle choice!

    Ric afganistan sniper man.. You two got something going?? :friends:
  17. Deker
    They don't learn around your way do they, you would have thought the word would have gone out to stay away after all the family and friends they have lost!!

    I rarely go after the fox with a shotgun these days but always carry some BB and AAA in the belt just in case something turns up, can't say I ever had an issue with BB, think mine is 36, but its been in the belt so long its worn off!
  19. Deker
    Yes..we have been here or here abouts recently, and no I still haven't seen any about yet!
  20. Deker
    I'm totally confused, ALL firearms records are now on PNC, if the PNC told them you had a Firearm then they can also check instantly you have a FAC. There is NO legal requirement to carry your FAC (although a copy can be useful). Just don't understand the issue here?? Kick me someone if I have missed something!!
  21. Deker
    I seem to recall Mr L had someting along these lines, it was all I could do to pick it up, but like I say, I'm a tart. Did seem to shoot well and had the Black Hogue stock like your green one, I think his was a .223 as well! Anyway... ATB!!
  22. Deker
    Apparently this was something to do with what could be termed the Mk1 Wildcat, apparently things have changed, allegidly the Hatsans have been modified as well, but I still wouldn't touch another, so I can see where you are coming from!
  23. Deker
    Chap, there are very few of us who do not push the boundary on occasions, and a Stinger certainly has the power to stop a rabbit at this distance. Whether or not you should even be trying is another debate altogether and I'm not going there. Simple fact is a Stinger would have a job hitting a barn door at that distance, you better do the lottery this week and see if your luck holds. ATB!!

    I have been fortunate enough to put my head in this store about 6 years ago whilst on a trip up to Lairg for some sport! Anyone living in the area should be pleased to have such a RFD.
  25. Deker
    I sort of like them... .223 .243 .308 ALL with the P8 COMPACT!
