I have 2 sites that could do with a bit of ferreting, one in South Berks and one in East Berks! If you are up for it and want some fun let me know asap! Deker

All being equal, in principle, always go for the best light transmission!

I can' help thinking you have asked this question before in numerous ways in PM's. I have responded in some detail, if you doubt what I say ask your local FEO for a specific answer!

Whilst I absolutely agree, I am amazed to hear of such things from the keyboard of Foxdropper!

Well..there you go...not many days go by when I don't learn something! So... a couple of variations on the theme but I would not be confident in any. Lots of ways to minimise rounds fired to zero but at the end of the day I would not trust any of these methods without live fire tests! But some useful hints and tips!

Flippin ek...you guys are at it again...apathy is rife in the shooting fraternity or someone would have kicked the pathetic and self centred NRA into touch years ago. The UK shooter (sporting enthusiast) is, and will continue to be walked all over by antis, Sun readers and politicians concerned about their jobs. The Sporting associations, BASC, CA, SACS, NRA, CPSA, ETC, ETC, ETC, have one simple overriding interest ...SELF PRESERVATION. And before you all start to slag me off..consider... who is the first MD to lose their job, who is the first Chief Executive, who is the first XXXXX.

Have a word with GMK, they are the importers.

Hmmm... Not come across those before. Pretty decent then? Winchester in effect went tits up a couple of years ago..for the second or third time, their Model 70 which had a very wide product range and had been in production for about 50 years I think, went tits up as well. Winchester was owned by Browing/Miroku and I think in the end FN in Belgium (or some old malarky like this). Anyway.. the model 70 is a f*****g good gun and I can't help but think if Winchester had stuck to their core business they would still be around. On the plus side I saw an article about 3 months back

Sticks, bipods, fences, gates etc etc are very unlikely to effect your zero on a rimmy. The effect of chancing the zero is more commonly noticed on centrefires off bipods etc when using a "heavy" moderator, or simply pulling to hard down when using them. Using sticks on a HMR would have advantages on some shots in some situations but balance this with having to carry them, when you can often find a useful tree, fence post, gate etc!

Different cultures and different countries ARE different, I don't have any problem with anybody eating ANY meat if they so desire...I am, however, not happy with any "cruelty" that may be involved....and that means Halal too!!. If an animal is to die for food, we should at least kill it quickly!
-
Perhaps you better ask whoever told you about this miraculous "one shot zero" 'cos I don't know what they are talking about. Then perhaps you would be kind enough to explain to me how it works!

Cartridge? choke? barrel length? experience? conditions? etc..........60 yards no problem, done plenty!
-
This was dead and burried!!!! Come on guys...lets all calm down..we have all done the big ones, I've done a bunny (witnessed) at 106 yards with my 26ft lb Falcon...yes I was well pleased but it was a one off in special circumstances and any time I talk about it I suggest it was a great shot, in the right circumstances and a chunk of luck. 50-60 yards is generally the max I would ever consider with it at 26ft lb, it's zeroed at 40yds. 70 yards is not a shot to take with a 12ft lb at live quarry..we all push the limits but just accept it works sometimes but not very often...we have all

I was in Marlborough all day yesterday helping a pal on his Pheasant shoot, 1560 acres of brilliant land. Brought in most of the feeders, little bugger uses 50 gallon drums, ******* big, heavy and awkward! Anyway got there just before 10.00 am and it was nearly 16.00 before I knew it, reward was a trip into some of the woodland after the pigeon, 2 hours later and the winds were nearly at Gale force, birds were coming in about 60mph we had just 11 between the 3 of us, very hard birds but a challenge and great fun nevertheless! Like I say the land is the business, spooked a fox just after

the tr robb kit involes the standard gun, just replaces hammer spring valve guide and seals. just have to remember to reg service gun or you get lots of wear!!! mine runs at 34 ft lbs and i get about 35-40 full power shots it is a carbine though but on a hunting trip this is more than enough!!!! you do need to upgrade the silencer i got a lovley adapter and run the hw 100 silencer and the gun sounds quieter than a sub 12ft lbs model. just the hammer spring is noisy. hope this helps john That is seriously impressive and obviously a very special tuning job as it is dramatically

How do you feel about filling in some of your personal profile which is about as blank as its possible to be?
-
It doesn't work like that!!! There are are no chokes for hunting or clays (except perhaps Skeet where you would tend to use a short barrel and very open choke), the idea is to use the most appropriate for the individual situation and that would be down to the shooters preference!!! Best advice I can give is get looking round the web, there is lots of info around about chokes sizes and uses. Also go to your local gun dealer and get a copy of the Eley Shooters Diary, this will give you loads of info on choke, patterns/spread, distance, cartridge uses etc etc! (you may be able to find this i
-
Flippin ek!!!! A lot of questions and all impossible to answer without a LOT more definition. Spread will depend on the choke, distance, cartridge, wind, etc but most will be bigger than a football by only about 15 yards of travel (but that in turn is subject to your interpretation of spread). Tail is also subject to a lot more definition, again cartridge, distance choke etc etc all come into play but pattern and tail can generally be defined as a bomb shaped cigar, dimensions can vary a lot! Shooting from towers and lead, no answer, how high is the tower, what angle is the clay flying,

That is some going, I take my hat off to you Remmy!

For hunting between 20-30ft lb I would suggest Air Arms Field, for 30-40ft lb Bisley Magnum, you are right in the middle..tight call!
-
Chris I'm fascinated, I know a handful of people running air rifles over 40ft lb but I don't actually know of anyone running anything at 80ft lb....help me out here, what is it used for and why?? Cheers Deker

Nooo, tricky rabbits that have been messed with by amateurs before the land owners realise they need to get a pro in and sort their problems out for them at great expense, and where my rimmys are too likely to cause damage or harm by ricochet. It will be just yet another tool of my trade to enable me to offer customers a holistic approach to an age old problem. As all the above and air rifle pellets are a lot cheaper than .17hmr or 22 I done a job the other day shot 56 rabbits with my 22 if I had my rifle then would have cost me a lot less You are a little mistaken, the h

Don't quite understand some of this...yep..it does make and interesting twang but...they are very accurate and I am a little surprised you think it more likely the gun is losing it's zero and not your scope!! The barrel is incredibly flexible but despite this my gun has never lost it's zero! Mine has been running FAC for years (26ft lb), it sounds a lot better, virtually no twang and without a moderator it has a roar! Mine is zeroed at 40 yards and I can always put a full magazine into a 1p. On top of which I thought you were shouting about how accurate yours was...what are you expectin
-
Yep! Cost will be £50 for your FAC plus a cabinet, if you return the gun to AA to do the work it is likely to be a fair bit over £100 as FAC carriage is expensive to start with. If you want to do the work yourself you can save money and just get a kit from someone like Terry Robb...when you have your FAC!!
