And generally a waste of time on anything over a 12ft lb air rifle (that should extend the life of this thread!)
-
I've noticed that with some models, and frankly, never been able to understand why, but then again I've not bothered to investigate further!
-
They were approved under the new Act which came in last year until the Final Reading, then some dipstick decided to ask the RSPCA who responded by saying "they had no evidence to suggest it was humane", why the f**k didn't they look at Scotland...so Roe got removed at the last minute!
-
I got the same feeling by the end of the first page!

We could go on forever with this one, but the above just about sums it up...if you are happy with what you can see through it then , job done!

My mate's just done his DSC1, and he said that in Scotland some of the estates want a minimum of .270, and some want a minimum of 30-06 for reds . This seems a little over-the-top to me . Does seem a little strange (especially when they are fine for Roe with the .22 centrefires) but that has been the case for years! Scotland Roe....22 cf Reds.....243 (but often suggested 270+) England (Oh yes, and that place up the road.... errrr... I know.... Wales ) Roe....243 Reds....243
-
I would have no doubt it would do the job perfectly well on the 4 Deer listed (despite what the law says) but to be honest I would prefer something with a bit more grunt if faced with an angry Boar! You have a chance with .243 for Boar but the suggestion is .308 minimum, so 22-250 is a long shot!
-
Can you name them? Roe, Sika, Fallow and Red (Stork lists as England)...in addition you would have a hell of a job getting it approved for Boar!
-
Just wondering why not having a moderator would make your 22/250 a waste of time? Are you not allowed to use them without being moderated? Just interested to know as everyone over your way seems to be obsessed with moderators, is it a legal requirement? Great calibre Stork, there is nothing in your country you cannot hunt successfully with this fast stepper. Totally agree, but there are at least 4 things he can't hunt legally with it!

was thinking of a good quality leopold scope,do you think one of there 40obj would transmit good light i use a fixed power 6-42 smidt bender 30mm tube on my 223..do 200 yard rabbits with ease, 95% of my shooting is at night... would a 50 obj give a wier feild of veiw yes 50 does, have a look at other shooters scopes, or all of the scopes in the shop before you buy. Spend as much as you can afford on your scope, it's as important as the gun. As a general rule and like for like a 50mm MAY give you a wider field of view, this is not always the case and will vary from manu

Bisley Magnum 21.4g AA Field and Hunter 16.25g I cant remember the speed difference last time I had the chrono out but I would have thought it was more than 20ft sec!

WHAT THE IS THAT? Surely they can't place you under supervision???? Yes they can..it's actually quite common now! It's like being back at school . Yep, but if he keeps his nose clean he will be able to apply for the condition to be removed in a "few" months, usually 6 months+ and just possibly be able to get an open certificate at the same time. (probably a bit longer for the Open)

James@Scarborough markbivvy I'd like to think Spud was joking but I'm not convinced! It is heartening to see some sense spoken by you guys

OK... put simply you can use any of the guns on ANY land cleared by the Chief officer of Police, in the case of the centrefire, whilst accompanied. At the moment you can only assume the land you listed for each calibe is approved for that calibre! However, you can shoot on far more land than you asked for, but if you find a new piece of land you will need to check with your FEO if it is cleared! It does not matter if you only listed 1, 2, or 3 pieces of land for any and all calibres, you will need to check EACH piece of land for EACH calibre with your FEO to see what is cleared. Pain in th

Bit surprised the Bisley Magnum and AA field are quite so different! The AA actually come in different sizes, used to be 5.5mm but no longer, now available in 5.51mm and 5.52mm, take a look underneath tin, sticker will say which. My barrel is too tight for 5.52 and power drops, get more power and better results with 5.51mm. AA field and Bisley Magnum only give me about 0.5ft lb difference. Mine runs at 26ft lb!
-
What exactly does it say under "additional conditions" on the front page?
-
I'm a little confused..have you had an unfortunate experience with your Rapid? Very few people change their Rapid for another make once they have had one. There are few others on the market which will handle what the Rapid will or give you as many shots per charge or generally be as good in 12ft lb or FAC!

Easy..Cross my palm with vast quantities of folding!

Steady on..I'll get another PM about how cruel I've been to dead foxes, what you meant was.... before we dug a hole, buried her with full honours saying kind words and then fired a 7 gun salute!
-
Nobody from a sensible sporting background would be "abusive", and I've never put anything up that was messy, actually the last fox I put up I deliberately showed the clean side not the exit side! It's life isn't it..there are those...., but much of my problem is I simply don't have the camera or camera phone! Ok ..plee from a poor shooter, anyone got an old digital camera or camera phone they have just upgraded from and don't use anymore..can I have it please, happy to pay carriage costs...many thanks!

Hi what weapons would we be trying? arcpest Almost any calibre from .22LR up to 7.62mm. Most all the days I have booked are 200yards..... and before you all start shouting the .22LR IS a 200yard range tool, on the right day with the right wind I would be expecting to get 2-3 Vbulls at 200 with the .22LR, don't knock it till you try it. Last time I was there it was too windy, group was good but all in the wrong place, the big stuff was doing fine though!

Getting to be a bit of a strange one with pictures, first off I don't have a digital camera or camera phone, sometimes borrow my brothers (thats what most of those I have put up were taken with). Mr L has at least a camera phone. Then I get abusive PM's saying I'm boasting about what I shoot putting pictures up or people saying it's sick! The forum is called THE HUNTING LIFE I believe so I'm a bit confused here! Anyway I think most stories benefit from the odd picture, simple fact is last night we just didn't take any..sorry!

Ok...some of you are aware that I am Secretary of a Club at Bisley. This is not a knob arse club, we shoot for fun and enjoyment and the social side, nobody in our club is going to win anything at the Olympics and nobody cares..get the idea..we do this because we enjoy it! I am also passionate about our sport, and it's future in all its forms! If any of you live within a sensible distance of Bisley and would like to come for a shoot to try send me a PM. Be aware this is a Home Office approved club and you will have to sign a Section 21 FIRST, (look it up on the web) on top of which w
