    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!
  4. Deker
    Yes..we have been here or here abouts recently, and no I still haven't seen any about yet!

    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!!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    I sort of like them... .223 .243 .308 ALL with the P8 COMPACT!
  11. Deker
    Please tell about more about this mod 4 times quieter for the same money at your local dealer!!

    ATB, they tend to shoot pretty well but weight is an issue for a tart like me, I have the 700 SPS Stainless in .308, took about 3" off the barrel and fitted the P8 Compact, weight and balance are a treat!! Bottom one here..

    I think we have done something similar to this on Anschutz a few weeks back...anyway, I'm sure they will be excellent and I'm sure they will sell a few. The BUT is, I am content with the hunting tools I have which can probably all shoot better than I can already, so personally these have no interest for me. ATB!!

    Did I misss something, what makes you think it is illegal?? 12g AAA shot or slug IS legal in England and Wales and as far as I know the rest of the UK as well!!
  15. Deker
    Its a personal thing ...simple as, some like heavy some like light...personally I see no point in carrying around a heavy HMR all day!

    This seems to be getting a bit involved, lets go back to basics.. If you have a requirement or potential requirement which you feel you can justify, then apply for .22lr .17HMR Hornet .223 .243 Discuss and debate by all means but it costs you nothing more to apply for the lot. Also gives you a chance to chat with your FEO and seek his advice...always makes him feel important!!
  17. Deker
    Where do you find this info???? ....and that ain't quick, I can throw a ball faster than that for the dog to chase
  18. Deker
    There is no doubt that a number of .243 rounds don't make it to 1700ft lb, your barrel length also has something to answer for here as well. People will tend to use 90-100g for deer (100g minimum Scotland) and the lighter stuff, commonly ballistic tips for fox etc.

    I'm struggling with this!! Just what is the issue here, a semi is a perfectly excellent all rounder (as is a O/U) I often use mine for clay/skeet/DTL etc, etc as well as field...you don't "have" to put 2 in the mag!! To be honest the only issue I see anywhere is TRADITION/ETIQUETTE, and I am not having a go at tradition!

    It's not popular anymore!!! I am convinced this is more to do with marketing (other calibres) than technology. The Hornet has a lot going for it and rifles can be found at "reasonable" prices. Ammo is not always easy to find so Home Brews can be a good idea. Noise and power wise it sits well between my WMR and .223, and the idea keeps coming into my head to look at one, but at the moment I seem to be coping without...but...Never say never!!
  21. Deker
    I think I'm getting the general idea which may have some merit, although what area of specialty your solicitor has will be interesting. Nevertheless, any toothless and inaccurate letter from a solicitor hardly seems the appropriate approach for success...more like immediate refusal!
  22. Deker
    Where do you get that plutonium enriched ammo from, I need some of that...that whole wound cavity is positively glowing....
  23. Deker
    It just isn't popular, and never was! As has already been said, not your everyday calibre, either by need or availability. 22-250 is in the area, and some may say better, not sure what you are after, but I struggle to see either will have all that much use in fox control in your normal everyday urban environment!!
  24. Deker
    I think I must be missing something, but if you just want to have a play with something else for the deer then it's pretty obvious you need to try a .243....you'll probably get rid of the .270 after that as well!
  25. Deker
    I didn't quite follow that, but if you are getting them into a trap in a day or two then my compliments. Yes, there is always the odd one that walks straight in but most are a pain the backside to get in the traps...baiting and shooting in urban environments usually works best for me...such is life.
