  1. cheers buster AA fields .22 .............have gone up recently. i can currently supply them at £9.50 a tin plus postage at cost ( about 80p)...( 5.51 and 5.52) not much cheaper.....but as buster said...........you dont have to leave your armchair !!!!!!! cheers all sean Nothing to do with you Sean but not long back these were £7.95 (500) and a couple of years ago between £5.95 - £6.50...which was never cheap for an airgin pellet...But I do like them and use them a lot (5.51 Fields)........anyway........ this lead bullshit is just that...I accept lead has gone
  2. Sporting Shooter have been concerned and on the case here. To be fair they have worked very hard to check this all out! As you can imagine there has been considerable dialogue between us..... and .....my bottle of Scotch was sent Tuesday and arrived 10.40 Wednesday morning, I had a late one and Parcel Force woke me up!! SS have conceded their was an error..they are very happy this is all my work and an apology, and the correct credits will appear in next months Sporting Shooter... additionally....I will be visiting them on their stand at the Game Fair in a couple of weeks to have a ch
  3. Just like your picture, eh Bob! Flippin 'ek...that's what I was thinking.....I have to drop my Beretta on the Butt from a great height to set the second barrel....so I take the easy option and just switch the barrel selector over
  4. Probably no help at all...their Rimfire tools are cheap and cheerful (agricultural) is a phrase I have heard to describe them....Miles was after one in .17HMR and when we went to see it he soon changed his mind....centrefires...not a clue...but you seem to turn up with the slightly unusual sometimes and so far they have been winners!!!
  5. The norm does not matter, although people will tend to zero .22LR subs between about 50-70 yards. What is important is what range you are likely to be taking most shots...zero for that!!! My opinion is, 100 yards is a little far for a normal .22LR, but I have taken plenty of bunnies at that distance and further with mine...we are all different though, and we all have different requirements..set it up and enjoy the way that works best for you and your land!!!
  6. Thanks, this guy sounds ok on the phone. Should go ok. Good luck mate. Think security, cause he will be looking, especially with the FAC. If it`s an access point, lock/bolt it. Look tidy, be honest and polite. basil. If you act like a normal reasonable human being, following advice here, the most complicated question he will probably ask is..."do you have any biscuits to go with this cup of tea?"
  7. Time to move on...we all have our days....the SGC laws have changed a lot over the years.... ....and you forgot to mention...I do know it all
  8. basil...you have to open your mind to the MAJOR difference between VERMIN CONTROL (As defined by man) and licenced in these circumstances: and sport. These are 2 very different things and must not be confused....nobody wants to cause deliberate suffering to any animal but if control is required then the young go as well; as humanely as possible!! I still don`t agree with it. Someone didn`t do their planning very well. If the deer numbers were out of control, why plant a load of saplings which surely he must of known would attract the deer. The deer have only become a pest because of
  9. Aguila Super Maximum 30g, available HP and Solid......1750ft sec...204ft lb. Highest speed and most powerful .22LR I am aware of. Was available from Fenland Rural Sports ....not cheap either!!!
  10. Don't know but these will be able to help you!!! http://falconowners.myfastforum.org http://www.falcon-airguns.co.uk
  11. there trying to make it legal for 22 mate but 22 centrefires that is 222,223and the 22/250 you can shoot cwd and muntjac here with them but not roe if you have it on ticket. yet in scotland the can shoot the above and roe with 22 centrefires as long as you use the right bullets im surprized they didnt add roe here for 22 centrefire rifles when they changed the law to use them here for cwd and muntjac does anyone no why they didnt ??? Roe WAS included up until the final reading of the Deer Act Amendment order 2007 when a question was asked about .22 CF's suitability for Roe.

  13. What country are you in?? 22-250 will kill a Roe easily in any country but is still not legal in England and Wales. What is the B******t about bigger calibres at night and what rational has been suggested for this. Do you have a licence for .. Night shooting? Out of season shooting? Who granted it??? Yours curiously.....
  14. Having played with a SPS in the dealers with a PES on the end of it (24"barrel) I am surprised how reasonable the balance was...you would think it terrrible but it was OK! As you know I don't have a Remington but I have spent a bit of time looking at the SPS...seems to get a lot of bad press, but to be honest, it seems ok to me!! Don't know about the SPS Tactical specifically though! Looks like I'm ending up with 2 threads for the mods but I can understand that 3 different threads is not ideal!
  15. Many Hunting tools have the light barrels, that is what we are talking about...they heat up loads whilst zeroing or target shooting ..that is the problem...not the odd shot when hunting!
  16. How long have you had a HMR...how long have you been giving away rabbits??? Do you have any idea how long people have been eating lead shot from Shotguns...copper and plastic are far less dangerous to humans ..even if some found it's way into your bunny after you have blown it's head off with a HMR!
  17. Or as a mate of mine in the RAF Regiment has suggested....a cluster bomb would be quite effective!!!
  18. Holy mother of Christ, You deserve better than a bottle of Whiskey. It should be a barrel of whiskey. Thats gotta be the most squirrels I have seen in one picture. Well done just a pity someone else took the credit for it. Shame on them. Df The bottle of Scotch is what Sporting Shooter gives the contributor... I have been in touch with Sporting Shooter and the Editor got back to me on Saturday, said he would check it out, find out what has gone wrong and put it right in the next edition. Thanks again to everyone, for their concerns and support, I am seriously gra
  19. This is NOT correct..light barrels on modern guns heat up VERY quickly (especially on hot days)and can cause problems. If the gun, barrel and ammo are quality the POI will drop...If there are other problems the POI could simply spread. I do however tend to agree with the bit in green above....zeroing is VERY tiring! When my club shoots at Bisley light barrels always fire alternately on the same lane to give the barrel time to cool and it still doesn't work very well! The HEAVY barrels can just fire away all day with little or no problem! Heavy Machine Guns, GPMG's and the SA80 are
  20. I think it best you just take it back to the dealer!
  21. It is very difficult to tell Remotely..but it could be several things...the solution is simple...1 week old..take it all back to the dealer and ask him to sort it
  22. Several Tikka in .223 about apparently.. http://www.guntrader.co.uk/OldSearch/ inclubing your mates in Oxford..and Tony in Swindon, etc, etc...
  23. Be careful not to confuse "sport" with "Vermin Control", they are 2 very different things!
