    I have lost 3 days shooting this week and looks like another today, filthy weather! Yes..call me a tart if you like, but when it's p*****g down, blowing a gale and cold I tend to find much of the quarry stays tucked up as well. Always another day though, and nothing to complain about really compared to all the poor souls that have been flooded out!

    The guns are solid and well put together on the whole, and tend to shoot pretty well, can't say I've ever heard any horror stories about them! Bit on the expensive side though, and not for me! Out of interest, why .222, not a calibre I would consider at all today, if you load yourself perhaps, but .223 just seems the way to go in that area!

    That seems reasonable to me, I think mine was about that give or take £20, cost a lot more by the time I had the barrel screwcut for the moderator, mounts, scope, sling, bullets, cleaning rod, bore cleaner, rifle case, bipod! I had the stainless steel heavy barrel. Sometimes wish I had gone for the lighter barrel and slightly shorter, it is not one for quickly popping out the side window of the motor! But I went for a big PES over sleeve moderator which doesn't help. If you are using it for foxing go for a 8x56 scope. Cheers Dave Schmidt & Bender 6 x 42 is best for FOXES and roe,

    Rapid 7 wins every time in my book. I have a Falcon running at 26ft lb and it is remarkably accurate, but in honesty the Rapid 7 is a better bet, but no more accurate. Be careful how high you go, 30ft lb tends to work pretty well with several pellets but anything much over that and you are likely to start having accuracy problems....unless you use the heavy and expensive "bullet type" pellets but then they will fall like a stone.

    ASE are good, but you may want to look at these..... Predator 8 COMPACT version http://www.wildcatrifles.co.uk/sound_moderators.htm

    No problem charging them both together or seperately. There is an argument to charge together as they will discharge together, but, because of manufacturing tolerances they will almost certainly last a different time (although similar) so perhaps consider charging seperately. Bottom line is if the green light goes off quick they are either fully charged or there is a problem somewhere!! OK, one battery is charging and one isn't not happy will leave overnight and see what happens Something seems amiss, that should not be the case, have you checked all the

    AGS scopes have been made by Leapers forever (unless something has changed VERY recently). Optically they are really pretty good, dialing in is not good at all, and generally holding zero could be rated as just about acceptable. Reticles are down to use and personal choice..I like Mil Dot and use it on ALL my rifles! They are a budget scope, and in that bracket can be considered more than worth thinking about!

    I've not had a .222, but know those that have/do, I have a .223 and there is not a lot of difference at all, but logically a .223 is the tool to buy today over a .222. But if you already have a .222 you are not going to notice any great difference at all to a .223, perhaps just an edge! If the situation does dictate a change of gun I would nevertheless suggest you consider a .223 carefully! Both are more than capable of fox at the distance you suggest and further!

    If it has been passed for .22lr it will not need to be checked again. If you put in for a bigger calibre it will need to be!

    This is a cracking tool, around 6/7 years old and in great condition, I have decided to treat myself to a Christmas present and I'm buying myself a new one of these. The rifle comes complete with a proofed Sako Mod, the scope/mounts and sling are NOT included. Barrel is 16.5 inches. The gun works a treat and any potential purchaser is more than welcome to try before they buy. I'm just feeling a bit of a tart and want a new one (I'm buying EXACTLY the same again). Any questions then feel free to ask. I know what it's worth..take a look on.... guntrader.co.uk y

    I recon Snap Shot has got it pretty spot on...a semi will help with recoil in every respect, especially the latest Beretta range. Noise will always be an issue with shotgun, hence why attempts have been made to address this issue. I don't see a complete answer to your problems though. ATB!

    There is not too much that is impossible...BUT...original barrel thickness must be considered when boring it out and chamber length, and serious tools and skills are required for such an operation. As it happens I know a man who has the tools and skills but the price will most commonly make it prohibitive!

    It is very interesting to hear other peoples experiences, I am fortunate that I have a lot of tools to choose from and my .22LR CZ Silhouette is now exclusively a sub sonic tool. Going back the odd year or two I did use/try a number of HV rounds through it and the Remington Yellow Jacket Hyper Velocity HP were probably the best, odd looking bullet but it did shoot well(ish), for a High Velocity .22lr and it certainly did the business when it arrived!

    Keep your fingers firmly crossed, if GMK say Mid Jan you will be lucky to see them by April!!! ATB!!

    As someone else brought it up a word on the Whitetail Classic. The 3.5-10x50 is one of the best value for money and build quality scopes I have ever owned. It is factory parallax set at 100 yards and is great, I only sold mine because my eyes are going and I need variable parallax adjustment (I know ..but it works for me) Mine was the best part of 10 years old when I sold it and as good as new in every respect..if you can find one it's certainly worth a look, one of the all time "classic" scopes!!!
  19. Deker
    If you are only using sub sonic lead, then not that often, perhaps a mop through from time to time to get the crud out and an occassional decent clean to remove any lead deposits, which should not be too difficult. If you are using high velocity copper coats then more regular and better cleaning would normally be required!
  20. Deker
    I would have to suggest from my experiences the JSR range of scopes offers exceptionally good glass on the whole. Built quality is not the best, dialing distances is not good and the scopes with allen key locking turrets drive me mad. But I also suggest they do offer very good value for money!!
  21. Deker
    Reasonable care is required with all barrels and actions, never dry your gun by leaning it on the radiator and never put it away wet. But no need to go mad, wipe off the damp, gentle drying, and light oil will keep almost any barrel in good order for years

    Lifted directly from Chapter 6 Home Office Firearms Law, Guidance to the Police 2002 (the bible) Interesting reading..especially the bit at the bottom about buying ammo... Shot guns 6.14 Section 11(5) of the 1968 Act allows an individual, without holding a shot gun certificate, to borrow a shot gun from the occupier of private premises and use it on those premises in the occupier’s presence. The presence of the occupier is normally taken to mean within sight and earshot of the individual borrowing the firearm. The term “occupier†is not defined in the Firearms Acts,

    You really do talk rubbish sometimes, are you trying to kill the guy! There is little or no .223 Mil surplus, it is 5.56 which will fit but is over pressure for .223, unless of course you can find some original shit 5.56 mil spec. But you are unlikely to know so don't **** about and don't use it!! Best zip it when you don't know what you are talking about!

    Get this 40 yards out of your head. Deben Tracer Mini Pro(250 yards) Put a red filter on it and you are down to 60 yards, it also has a dimmer so you will not scare bunnies miles away, but you can also scan the distance for the next quarry if you want! Put a red filter on the lower power units and you will just about see the end of your barrel! In addition it will still be useful if you ever get a rimfire! I have Mini Pro and Max Pro, they are not the best quality in the world but you get a complete kit, and my Mini is 9 years old and still going strong! Check the web fo
