    Not even seen any yet! I was at the Phoenix show at Bisley last week and I couldn't find anybody with lead alternatives. Have you?????
  2. Deker
    Just as you would with any wood/metal combination externally. Legia seems fair, but there are others. Barrels tend not to need much attention internally, but as lead disappears, and pellets made of all sorts of other metals/alloys/whatever arrive, that may change!

    Savage have a very mixed reputation, and frankly a very mixed stable of products. Some of their high end centrefires are well respected in the target arena, whilst some of their rimfires are hardly a step above toytown. I "believe" it has been exclusively the Savage 17WSM that has been imported into the UK. Who knows what they are up to these days, but I understand there was a management buy out there a few years back, so presumably some of the people who work there think they have a future!

    Everyone has there own preferences and requirements, I have a lot of calibres to deal with a lot of different situations. I fully accept the HMR has its issues (although the ammo seems to be improving?) but mine gets a lot of use! I love my WMR (I know its not that fashionable), with the 30g V-Max it flies very similar to the HMR out to about 100 yards, and there is a lot of ammo variety, in simple terms versatility. Both my .22lr remain close range, dedicated sub sonic tools, they don't get a lot of use but are great when required! PS, ammo prices all round, but esp

    Sounds good, but I'm a bit confused, I know we are only talking about 1-1.5ft lb but I thought they were generally about 10-10.5ft lb. 11.5-11.7 is about as good as you can get or want, don't understand why there are so many suggestions it's just a bit underpower!

    That sound fair, is that out of the box or have you had it worked on? Cheers

    Cheers everyone, I've heard good things about the HW99 over the years, but isn't it just a bit low on power?

    Thanks for that, do you know anyone who has one, I've heard their magazine system has issues?????

    I have a pal who has recently started to keep chickens in his garden and has rats already. He is against traps and poisons and doesn't want a cat, and has decided to get an Air rifle. He is starting at ground zero with a TOTAL budget of £300, absolute max of £350 for EVERYTHING, and must be new, not used. He has quite a long garden and they are near the end, so I'm guessing shot distance maybe to about 25yards. So, Break barrel only, (he does not want PCP and can't afford it anyway) 12ft lb, what calibre, what scope, what mounts, what moderator, what pellets, forget a gun slip

    Phoenix at Bisley is on at the moment, but, not really sure what it is meant to be about this year, very little target stuff and very little field stuff. A few new .22 made up to look military, The Southern Gun Co with some pretty outrageous stuff and then a bit of ammo and antiques for sale. Worth a visit for the experience, but 30-60 minutes gets you round the whole show without rushing!

    The PC Police will have something to say about that!

    What am I missing, I believe I see what it is, and that's pretty remarkable but where is the Funny Joke?
  16. Deker
    Each to their own but that is too light for me for field work!
  17. Deker
    Depends what you are after, but real bargains "can sometimes" be had at the Game Fair!

    As said 6-9 very limited use. I've 9-13 and the next size up. Both Harris Swivels, both useful, for field work Swivels a great advantage!

    They are very ordinary. X mark pro on mine! There was also a recall on them some years back, I never had any issues, but mine was recalled and fixed, never noticed any difference!

    NRA » The Phoenix Meeting - NRA That may help! The show is ok, I'm quite close and go most years, but depending on what you are after 2 hours could be plenty of time to get round! edit Trade Fair: The Phoenix Trade Fair will return for the first time since 2019 on Sit Pet Lawn, featuring a range of different suppliers for all to enjoy. Doors will open on Friday 27th – Sunday 29th from 8am – 6pm daily. Entry is free so come along and support the suppliers!

    That's new to me, not usually a problem finding the fox on most of my sites, but if I get a problem I'll give that a try!

    Other than grip/hold, are you convinced the Pard is FIRMLY fixed to the gun, very slight movement can cause shotgun patterns in target!
  23. Deker
    There seem to be more and more cropping up recently...who on earth is digging back that far?????!!!! Rather pointless as so much has changed, for instance, PCP has developed incredibly in that time!!!
  24. Deker
    something powerful, accurate and as quiet as possible. I'm a bit out of touch with Springers these days but I'm sure someone will come along...... POWERFUL, are you talking FAC?, otherwise many are near to the limit of 12ft lb, or can be adjusted there, but that's your lot!

    ....and there was me wondering why on earth you stuck an old cartridge on the gun? Then I read it!
