    I'd have to go with Stubby, a few like that but to be honest, on the whole, I find most of mine very trap shy... one screwed me about for something like 3 months, *******!! Hey Ho, it isn't the movies you know, this is real life!! Anyway...in the normal course of events I'm honestly not sure, but I can certainly remember a handful inside 20 yards!!

    What he said!! ...and as long as he's not related to you, a RFD as well or a part time copper...you get the idea!!

    It isn't normal and there is no legal requirement for it...but it is becoming more and more common....I have had requests of mentoring or letters from two guys in the last few months whoo were both applying for rimfires and had been told they needed this!! Both the same FEO as well in Thames Valley!!

    I had one of the original 3.5-10x50 Philippines Whitetail Classic on my .223 a few years back. Issues quickly followed because my eyes are not what they were and these were factory Parallax set at 100 yards!! On top of which I prefer Mil Dot...but they are a good scope, just didn't work for me on the .223!!

    Don't know but as soon as I saw it I thought Franci or one of the Rizzini's. There would normally be some sort of ID on the barrel inside the fore-end...as you are asking though I suspect there isn't. Manufacturers do usually manage to get their name on the gun somewhere Perhaps it has had some work done..new barrels just guessing!!!

    Same here, if it goes out it gets cleaned whether it's fired or not. Every time on the CF!!

    There is a bit below on this subject...Tikka Mod, will serve as a good guide!!

    Simple fix is silicone sealant and lead in the butt, just unscrew the plate and fill it up, experiment with exactly the right weight first, probably approx 6oz or 150g required!!

    Hi: You may have a non-scope related problem. I can't tell without knowing a bit more about your setup. Firstly what rifle, how old, what ammo, new or 'very' used? The 22.250 is a hot round and can burn out a barrel in 2,000 rounds, and a typical 'shot out' example may well group up nicely with 2>4 shots, then go right off the paper when it gets hot, does this sound familiar? Anyway as a general comment, Nikko Stirling scopes are only OK, not rubbish but not that good for a centrefire rifle either. Sorry to run this past you but you need to spend at least £500 on a centrefire scope,

    All of mine are the 8 baffle sets, I just have the Compact versions, the baffle set is Exactly the same as in the normal P8, the only difference is the over barrel tube length!!

    Only just seen this.... Interesting!!

    Rifles/calibres/ammo are simply tools. You need to choose the right one for the job, that's why many people have many rifles, they have many different jobs for them to do. You need to consider your requirements!! Quick overview. If your bunny problem is fairly close range, noise is an issue, funds are an issue, then .22lr with subs! If your problem is longer distance, noise isn't so much of an issue and your pockets are deeper then HMR. If your problems fall into both camps then you need both!

    Balance on any T3 Lite with a mod will be terrible (a bit less bad on the new screw cut shorter barrel versions), but it is fixable! It simply comes down to what you want/can live with. Accuracy will most likely improve, felt recoil will decrease and you and the neighbours ears will stop bleeding if you fit a mod!! Edit P8 COMPACT on them all...tube from a Full length P8 at the top right for comparison!

    I've spent my time with Anschutz on the range and in the field and it is true to say they are generally pleasing to look at and shoot. But that said I have no need to spend that sort of money for a field tool. Any perceived improvement in accuracy will be absolutely tiny (and not measurable for most) so I am more than happy with the lower price and similar performance of the CZ, available with 16" barrel! Personal choice of course!

    just found this, fascinating stuff.... http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/10/08/incredible-slow-motion-bullet-video/

    Just to fill in a few gaps..... LG is bigger but if you ever find any please let me know. Generally speaking in the UK, SG cartridges are the largest you will be able to find which are available on a SGC. Ball is 8.4mm and usually to be found in 1 1/8oz cartridges containing 9 balls. As already advised SLUGS are only available on FAC, and would not normally be conditioned for rabbit! AS a matter of interest SG cartridges are extremely powerful for a shotgun, nearly 2,000ft lb but are next to useless at any distance, a fox could walk clean through the pattern at 30-40 yards, ho

    It's probably fine but, as above, I would not consider buying privately from anyone who could not show me their FAC!!
  20. Deker
    Obviously BOTH people need to have the right paperwork with the right ammo. The Seller fills in the buyers FAC ammo section. That's it, nothing at all done to sellers certificate!! England, Scotland and Wales.

    This one goes round and round...just what is the best calibre for foxes...it's simple...there isn't one!! If all your fox work is close, round the barns, stables, farmhouse, gardens then possibly a .22lr or other rimfire is "IDEAL", if they are 200-300yards or further away then you need a sensible centrefire, possibly a .243!! So look at the choices available between that lot and you scratch your head!!!! I have a few rifles, they are all conditioned for fox and I do my best to take out what I think is most appropriate for any situation. Some will say I am fortunate to have the

    Not a clue, never heard of it, what's it meant to do??? Cheers
  23. Deker
    Probably something "simple", lets hope so, good to hear it's back on song!!
  24. Deker
    Wouldn't argue with that!!!
  25. Deker
    If you are an OPEN FAC holder acreage should not come in to it if there is SAFE shooting on the site!! Sounds like your meeting will resolve this!!
