    There may be, but over the years I had mine I looked around from time to time but never found one! The threading you can see is simply for the lens ring, but obviously if you can find a sunshade with the same thread and size you are in business!!

    Did a test a few weeks back, Jet z CQB (£300ish), Sirocco, Wildcat Cub, Sak, all on the HMR. Yep, it was unscientific, but view of those present was SAK is fine!!! I have used the DM80 on it briefly a while ago, and I would suggest that had the edge, but not enough for me to bother spending the extra, Sak is good enough for me!

    After Roe was taken out of the 1991 Deer Act amendment at the last minute, back in 2007 in England and Wales for the .22 Centrefires, I don't see it being changed any time soon. I have no wish to debate the right or wrong of this, MY .223 is conditioned for Roe in Scotland, and suffice to say I have dropped several large Roe at over 200 yards with one shot!!!

    I hear what everyone is saying, and they certainly do look like them, which is precisely why I didn't say fallow! My fault for not getting good pictures, you would see the differences then, and a horse was in the field as well which made them look tiny! They are not a current UK native species, anyone know of any relations of the fallow?? I may well have to ask the man next time I'm in the area, just don't like to be beaten, even if they are some foreign species! Cheers all

    fallow mate Yep, I would tend to agree, but I first came across these 6-8 months ago and they do not appear to have grown at all, still a bit smaller than a Roe! They have a winter coat on at the moment which makes them "fluff" up a bit!! Having mentioned these in the past to a couple of people it was time to take a picture whilst the foliage was bare!

    Who knows where I should be putting this but lets start here!! Came across these today, about 200 of them in a field...yes..they were farmed!!! They are about the same size as a Roe, perhaps just a bit smaller, they are a non native species that's for sure, even though they do look a bit Roe like as well! I'm OK with UK deer but around the world I get a bit lost, there are an awful lot of varieties. Anyway, grabbed the picture quickly on the phone, I know it's not up to much, but anyone got any idea just what these are. Cheers

    I'm sure FD will get back to you but to clarify a bit I believe he is suggesting mouth/hand, not just hand! You can make all sorts of squeaks, calls with your mouth/hand, that's all I used for years until a couple of years ago, after standing in the pouring rain, in the freezing cold with a gale force wind blowing, out of nowhere a fox turns up, I did everything I could to get some sort of a squeak out of my mouth but nothing worked, so I decided to get a caller. Got a FOX CALL, doesn't work any better than the hand/mouth, but I can usually make it work even when I am shivering to deat

    Good advice from many, especially JohnGalway and Foxdropper. I know a bit about the fox but Foxdropper has certainly opened my eyes when I've been out with him He does seem to have a way with the call!!

    Drunk as well!! Let's be honest it isn't going to earn you any Brownie points is it. A word with your Police region does seem the way forward!

    Not sure it is a marketing ploy, Sako bought Tikka, the Tikka has developed along Tikka lines and whilst there are Sako influences (and barrels) I don't see this as a deliberate marketing ploy. I could be wrong of course. And Don't forget Beretta owns them "both", so a whole load of other potential marketing ploys as well!! But I personally consider Optilocks a complete rip off whichever way you look at it!!

    Mate read the rules Enough said. Lets get a few things straight here, and let me make the point up front that I do not advocate using air rifles on fox nor am I defending anyone for doing so. You guys are far too blinkered here, there "may" be a situation where this is appropriate, this is not a black and white issue, although on the whole it is probably nearer black than white! What are these rules??? Perhaps you would be kind enough to point them out at it is news to me! Rules can only be based on Legislation, otherwise it is guidance and suggestion, there is NO le

    You need to be the Landowner or have Express Permission from the Landowner or his authorised agent to shoot Game. There are still rules and seasons, you need to be aware of these! The Police could stop you at any time and check you, car, guns etc, but you do not need a Game Licence in England or Wales any more!

    Aykley Heads Police HQ Durham you pick them up from there. I'm getting really confused, just what is it he can pick up from this Police HQ? Are you talking about FAC/SGC application forms?? The Game Licence was abolished on 1 August 2007 in England and Wales!
  15. Deker
    I'm not sure what you are getting at, but if you still have concerns about the Game Licence have a look here, this is the Order! http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2007/pdf/uksi_20072007_en.pdf You could always print it out, carry it with you and show the nice policeman if he asks.

    You can put down whatever you want. Be aware though it is very possible you will be questioned about your need for each calibre at the visit.....so, make sure you have an answer ready! Don't forget to consider expanding ammo and sound moderators when applying!

    In my experience when food is plentiful they will tend to leave their own, but when needs must they have no problem!

    Edit!!! ATB!!

    Only just read this properly... ......"I heard if you leave your tooth under the pillow the fairy gives you money"!! ATB!! PS..keep it to yourself, Vets have been making a fortune for years treating "Domestic" rabbits against Mixxy.....and I've made a few quid from the tooth fairy as well!!

    Cheers Good marketing material, sounds good but actually says nothing of course, except designed for use on Air Rifles If that has the acoustic wadding in it, I suggest it IS designed for air rifles ONLY! ATB!!

    What Game Licence??? The Game Licence used to be sold at Post Offices and to Shoot used to cost £6. The Game Licence to shoot and to sell was abolished in England and Wales in 2007!! May still be applicable in Scotland/NI... Not sure!!!

    On a slightly more serious note I have several sites from Maidenhead eastwards with these f*****g Parakeet. Noisy, destructive buggers, stick to the trees, NEVER seen any on the ground and usually stay high in the canopy! They are not going to be easy, as they are easily disturbed, but they are an ever growing menace! Suggestions as to how they arrived range from London Zoo escapees to Film set escapees to deliberate personal (pet) release! Whatever, they seem to be thriving and I am pleased to see them on the General Licence this year!!

    Judging size in flight is difficult anyway, I remember taking my first Herring Gull, the odd year or two back now, out with the 12g for a bit of Pigeon, rabbit, whatever and a pair flew over! Swung and shot and it seemed to take about a fortnight before the thing hit terra firma, it kept getting bigger and bigger all the time, seemed the size of a helicopter by the time I walked over to it!! Lots of info on gulls on the web, have a look, there are none of us perfect but you need to do your best to "Know your Quarry" Cheers

    A SGC is VERY different to a FAC! In principle you do not need a reason, you do not need land and you do not need to be a member of any club. In simple terms, you are allowed one and the police have to show cause why you should not have one! Life is never that simple though, fill in the application, get your cabinet and if asked, just tell them you want it for Clay work!! As long as you haven't been a naughty boy with a dodgy criminal record, or unsuitable medical history...Job Done!!
  25. Deker
    If you can find any spec on them, or links to websites I'd be interested to check them out! Can't seem to find anything on them...Oh yes...How Much?? Cheers
