We all know beauty is in the eye of etc etc ..and the S200 is a very fine tool but, I would struggle to call it a "beauty"

I understand this was usually a 10-11ft lb gun. If you had one that made it over 11ft lb you had a good one. The basic gun has plenty of power for rats at 20 yards but as a ratting gun .22 would be best. At £20 I suspect a "service" at least could be in order and a chrono will help (many dealers will chrono for you) Just get it zeroed and give it a try on targets/softwood penetration and get an idea how it is performing!

I would have to go along with that! The CZ 452 takes a lot of flack about it's trigger (I don't think they are anywhere near as bad as most say) but the trigger of the CZ511 has got to be one of the worst I have ever used! Shame, as the rest of it is definately underated. 10/22 is the worlds favourite .22LR Semi, God knows why, as so many people buy one, take it apart, throw away all the bits and replace them with aftermarket upgrades!! Know very little about the Remington!

Good to see you are getting in some practise for Friday...200-250 yards is a long way, the range for Friday is somewhere between 450-500 yards I seem to remember, have you bought the bottle of Bubbly yet in anticipation! Any hints and tips to help us wingshooter??

He also uses, and is on THL with other names...and as well as other peoples, he has tried to screw up my THL account password and also my personal email account! A nasty piece of work who seems to revel in causing trouble and setting off arguements. He is not funny anymore, but then I suspect that is just what he is after! "wingshooter", as new member you seem to be the fountain of all knowledge and have an opinion of most things, what are your views on someone like this? Any ideas what other usernames he is using as i had a pm from a member yesterday saying they could get

So...what has the gunsmith suggested who found this disaster? Perhaps a re-bore...Hornet it .22 so try boring the barrel out to .222 or .223, and .223 ammo is cheap as well, ask the gunsmith. Sadly I doubt it's possible, Hornet is .223 or .224 depending on the age of the rifle (newer is .224) just like the other 22's, but it has lighter bullets. (generally) Mr Logic...go back to bed and get some more sleep, then come back and have another look ....clue.....

Th lightning is a cracking gun but if you took these at 30-40 yards you did well!

What different hunted meats do you prefer to eat?

Sorry, not trying to mess up your poll!! Pheasant Second Partridge Fourth equal Woodcock ninth Snipe tenth, fun to shoot, lot of work to prepare for a small return!

Seldom more than 2, had 3 a couple of times but don't remember any more than 3! Certainly never had 6 out of one, you must have gate crashed some party there!!

Daft it most certainly was ...but he wasn't the only one, I was out all last night in the wind, rain, snow, sleet and everything else the weather chucked at me, got home about 04.00 this morning, saw 2 fox all night, only got one shot off, but it counted...daft...well yes!!

We have been around this area on several occasions and the bottom line is; it's what suits you (Sir)! I tend to use 6X on my air rifle, rimmy AND centrefire out in the field right up to about 200 yards, suits me and I took the heart clean out of a bunny at 179 yards a couple of months back, 02.00 in the morning, in the mist, lamping at 6X!! On the range the mag will usually go up a bit! If you like it, and you get the results, then whatever mag you are using is right for you!

Several NEW members popping up here ...let me say to everyone...my last post was very strong...deliberately...if sapper was in the army (or any of the services), of any rank and in any regiment he would be trying to rip my throat out at the comments I have made!!! PaulABF I have every respect for our armed forces as I have made clear, I have considerable experience of terminal ballistic effects and have no desire to be on the wrong end of any bullet! This is one of the reasons why I am so incensed at anyone purporting to be in the services if they are not, frankly I would have expecte

deker i was using the .243, with 70 grain blitzkings, and the permission is mostly hill ground with plenty of valleys thrown in for good measure. i intend setting up a few targets on it soon, for a test area i can get out to about 900 yards if shooting across one valley. I wish you the best of luck..the .243 is certainly capable of that range but it is a very very long way, I've done the 600 at Bisley with my .223 but that was really all the way for it! I've also been on the 1200 yard range with the lads but not actually shot it! Never droped a fox at nearly 400 yards like yo

Vincy IF sapper is a member of the armed forces he is a disgrace and god help us all. Unlike sapper I do have some knowledge of the army and their tools and ammo! I also have the greatest respect for ALL of our armed forces, but let me clarify something..Sapper, by his own admission has a lot of firearms experience including the "L96 sniper is the one i use on the range for 7.62" Hardly anyone in the forces gets to use this rifle, it is an expensive and medium/long range sniper rifle. The only way you get to play with one of these properly is to work your way up the ranks shootin

An "open ticket" does not mean you (or he) can shoot just anywhere, the wording on the license will say something to the effect of " may shoot such and such callible at such and such quarry on any lande deemed suitable by the chief firearms officer in that force area...... ....Needless to say permission is also needed. ATB SA ...you are a little confused there, an OPEN FAC does give you the authority to shoot anywhere you consider appropriate, as long as you have permission! That is the whole point of an open fac, the chief officer of police does NOT have to deem the land su

Home Office Firearms Law Guidance to Police 2002 Exemptions from the requirement to hold a certificate Shot Guns 1968 Act 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 occupiers presence. The presence of the occupier is normally taken to mean within sight and earshot of the individual borrowing the firearm.

and "some" people join this site and invent little stories as well. I will be the first to offer any advice I can to anyone who is serious and asks for help! I don't exagerate, I don't take the piss, and I don't wrap things up in cotton wool! The way you fill in the FAC application may well effect the outcome, you will present an image as soon as they read it, spelling IS important. TRUE, I didn't say you can't get a FAC if you can't spell FN don't make ammo, only guns, RG has been used exclusively by the British army for years in 7.62 and 5.56 (except when they nick some dodgy Ru

Some shooting, impressive by any standards, what were you using?

The original 391 was called the Urika! Gold has better engraving (virtually none on the ordinary 391) and higher grade wood, the ordinary 391 Urika and the Gold are identical otherwise. Mine is the Gold, got it about 5 years ago, daft dealer threw a complete wobbly on the price, rude to say no when he told me how much he wanted. Just seen 2 of them in a dealer about 15 miles from me "USED" and still £30 more each than I paid for mine new! Love the Gun, hate the cleaning job!

Hi Deker,I am obviously not in your league(moneywise)and,that was the reason to go for a second hand Remmy that I could in the future(as and when I can afford it)add the odd modification.As I said though,as it is at the moment I am VERY happy with it..................Martin. Nothing to do with money, the T3 Lite and Remmy 700 are available at very similar prices, and as I said the "Remmy 700 is a cracking gun anyway" It was only the fact it did not have a detachable mag or I would probably have bought one myself (just hate that)!!
