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!

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

I took Mr L out last night to help him add to his ever growing tally of foxes. Had a few bunnies but also 3 foxes altogether, Mr L accounted for 2 in fine fashion but according to his new fangled lazer rangefinder I had the longest of the night at just short of 200yards. (can't remember now what he said 193, 197 I think) Not looking for records but that is a long one for me, I don't usually even try that far out and prefer to get them in closer, and probably only ever had a handful over 200yards in all my days, so that came a a nice surprise. Turned out a good night weather wise

What scope have you got?? If you cannot adjust the scope to get the right eye relief with the mounts you have there are a million and one types available. CZ themselves do loads, but so do many others, do a web search and you will find something that works.

Parden????? Quote by yourself from above!!!! "I dont mean to sound daft but is the rib the barrel?" 7 years shooting shotguns, regular clay shoots and 11 lessons, come on Guevara, there is only so much bull most people can take! You have asked a lot of crazy questions in your short time on this site, you have been given an awful lot of help and advice by many people! Today you want to know about, and go waterfowling, yesterday you wanted to go big game hunting in Europe, you bought a shotgun and got stitched up, you want to find all sorts of short cuts to getting a FAC, no

The .177 or .22 debate will be going on long after I am compost, they each have their uses, they each favour certain conditions (and people) and .22 is the accepted hunting round and .177 the accepted target round. What is best to choose is what you want! Do what you want with either! There is absolutely NO answer to the question "what would be best to choose". About time this one found it's way onto FAQ>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!

As already said there are some crazy tools out there which in most cases have very little practical use, they are fun excercises in what can be done. Probably the most readily available would be the Air Ranger from Daystate which runs up to 80ft lb. Still a mystery to me what use it has or why anyone would ever want to buy one!

For a quick idea of what's available at what prices check out guns for sale on Guntrader.co.uk

You can hit bunny out as far as you can in the right conditions. Many people tend to zero subs at 50-60 yards and high velocity at 60-100 yards. Generally, you do not want to be pushing out much more than this although many have taken much longer and succesful shots..but they don't come off that often, don't push too far! A decent 40g sub sonic with a big HP, like Magtech or Winchester with peel back like a mushroom on contact with bunny and cause a lot of damage. Absolutely no need for a head shot with this stuff, as long as you don't shoot him in the arse he's dead. Head shots alway

Just as well you don't want an auto HMR, they are not even available as semi auto in this country! Do you like your .22, CZ452? Sort of answers the question I think!
-
and you don't know and have never heard of a rib?????? How old are you, eye dominance does not creep up on you after about 12 or 14...you have it ..fact, sometimes it can be "adjusted"! When do you intend to fill in some of your personal profile?? If you don't intend to I would be interested to hear why!

Big Game hunting, rifles, shotguns , Game hunting, rough shooting, clays, targets, waterfowling.....can't help thinkig you need to sit down and decide what you want!

It is the commonly expected norn to pay for goose, wildfowling, game birds and sometimes pigeon. In addition hare and deer also sometimes come into this category. Gereral game and vermin control, is on the whole, accepted as free! There are of course exceptions to everything though! I do not pay any of my landowners for shooting or taking game, and some of them pay me! Everything edible goes in the freezer or to the game dealer or is sold privately so I make a few quid more! Of course the landowners sometimes want a rabbit or two or a bit of venison etc and they get a Christmas ca

If you don't have a rib sitting on the top of your barrel(s), use your barrel! You will not hit anything lining the bead up it is a single point...use the length of the barrel or the rib!
-
As asked .222 or .223...no question .223! Far bigger choice of ammo, far bigger choice of guns, far cheaper ammo, far better future proofed than .222! 22-250 was not asked, but it is flatter and harder hitting, fair choice of guns, ammo is nowhere near as cheap as 223 and nowhere near the choice. Well known for eating the barrels a bit quick! .222 and .223 I see as similar but go for .223 every time! 22-250 I see as different to both!

Take the bead off and throw it away...use the rib! I don't know why shotgun manufacturers bother with the bead!
