Ian B We obviously get a better class of rabbit down south, relatively few fleas ever (but we are not immune from mixxy)! davyt63 I couldn't help a little chuckle at "mixxy fleas"....I am very impressed, can you tell me how I can identify one please. And...Stubby is right, since Myxomatosis was introduced around 55 years ago no case has ever been reported in any human or animal other than rabbit! Deker hi deker they were the first ones i have had wich was so infested.so took them to my mate who has birds of prey on his advise i dispoed of them he wouldnt feed them to his

"Rifle Club" If you are talking target, HMR is not an accepted target tool, although FMJ is now available. .223 is much more accepted as a target tool! I suspect you should count your blessings, I wish my man would say F**k off, you can't have a .223, have a .5O, that will do everything a .223 will and more! Mind you..if you shop around you will find .223 ammo cheaper than HMR, actually, the more I think about it your man is pretty useful!! I thought you were economising 50BMG ain't cheap £2.50 - £5.00 a bang, (hold of 1200, buy of 1000 would do)...actually, not s

I really struggle to believe you can find 1 gun for both, I just don't think it quite works that way, you really do need 2, BUT if pushed into selecting only one to take out it would be the .22WMR. Deker PS Will the person who voted .243 please make themselves known, we need to pop in to a darkened room and have a little chat!!! PPS Can the 22-250 owner form an orderly queue behind the .243 please!

Whole story and no bullshit, how would you know what was said to me Sorry i didnt notice you sat in my kitchen when I was talking to the F/A officer. That was what he said to me word for word. So I was right...it's not the whole story...you forgot to mention your FLO was insane!!! I know a lot of them are idiots but this takes the biscuit. HMR 250ft lb,........ .223 1300+ft lb, the ideal tool and really useful for round the stables, barns, small permissions, rabbits, corvids, squirrels, etc, etc, who on earth would ever want a .17HMR...he needs certifying!!!!! :crazy:

Hi Compo You mean something like "I got a caution for ABH in 2005" Perhaps??

Daz Hope this will help a bit! And just quickly before we get there, comments about N Yorks apparently allowing a .223 and Not a .17MHR..... "He said a .223 will do everything a .17hmr would and more so I didnt need one"...is either Bull***t or someone is not telling the whole story! 17HMR, it is much flatter than .22LR and pushes the range up a bit, but don't be fooled by people suggesting it is an everyday 150-200 yard tool because it isn't. It's a good and very useful tool but the wind is not kind to the round! HMR is noisier than .22LR (particularly a sub with a decent mod

Ok...I'm old enough to have done proper "O" and "A" levels (when they were hard) and I've got a Degree (admittedly not in physics), I have considerable ballistics experience and knowledge .....enough, enough. I'm getting lost, put this in simple terms, are you suggesting that attaching the Monopod/Bipod/Tripod/Poles/ Whatever to the front swivel stud is a problem? In addition, and whilst it is obvious many forces come into play when firing "ANY" type of gun, what is the problem with attaching a bipod to a (sturdy) barrel? I still struggle to understand why making an attachement to "

For your info not 1 of them was in cub , but what difference does it make , as FD rightly pointed out this is FOX CONTROL on a big sheep farming area Well done guys a very good session!! And I'm off to do some Fox Control tonight as well, sentimentality has nothing to do with it, the landowner has a problem that they want controlled! Deker

Loads of info on the airgun bbs. The standard is around 30ftlb with bisley mags. As your in the area, Ben Taylor and son at harston knows more than anyone about Rapids. Any more info you can mail me. Neil LOL Cannot agree with that no way ..Many many better people for rapids than him .Ive Pmd you two names mate who are leagues ahead of Taylor ..A rapid done properly is the way to go no doubt .100+ shots at 30FTLBS .Use air arms pellets superb .. Well I suspect that is possible, but I find it hard to believe as BEN Taylor is the ben at the end

Nothing illegal about using a Shotgun at night but I hardly ever do it because as evening decends and it tends to get very still the noise can EASILY travel 5 miles!

So... try some of the Flobert caps, around 30ft lb, or shorts in your .22LR, save you buying another gun! But if you are really desperate to buy an FAC air rifle there is only one to look at. ...the Theoben Rapid.

They work, in that they come out of the barrel and end up somewhere in front of you. HP are innacurate, Pointed are innacurate...put the 2 together and what do you think happens!?! And they are silly money. There are many fine pellets out there and as has been said several times here I am a big fan of AA Field. However, different barrels, different loading systems, different powers etc etc favour different pellets, try a few but I personally would not spend any money on the Predators! Cheers Deker
-
What....nobody can answer that, the question is FAR too open, but why not simply get a .22LR which will give you power options from around 30ft lb to 200ft lb? (and shotshells)!

If you get sentimental then it's time to hang up the gun. It's a reat target..simple as!

Help Please, out last night and had a dissagrement with a barbed wire fence. My Tikka Synthetic (Black) stock lost. I now have a 70mm scratch on the butt which shows as almost white. To keep a grown man from tears has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can repair, disguise, hide this unfortunate scratch? Many Thanks Deker

Hey Deker well done, but why dont you post on bbs ? bigrifle i guess its because if you post anything to do with hunting & killing on bbs, the cock knockers ban you And they did ban him, too... Bad place to be, wonder why I bothered - this place seems so much more grown up, granted I am still rather new here Ok...it's true...I'm not proud of getting banned from anything, but it's VERY easy to get banned from that site and the truth is it came as a shock to me as it did, and has, to so many others who have got banned. Free speech, opinion and reality are unknown

Tom Sorry mate but you are beginning to bore me, you really are getting very wound up over this! I have NEVER suggested you need to, or ought to be subservient, neither have I suggested the FEO is all knowing...I have actually stated he may well have made a mistake, Ive also said talk, discuss etc with him. I have also specifically tried to stay away from any direct comment on this individual situation. BUT lets just assume, for example, at the home visit a 15 year old made a remark which the FEO considered immature or agressive. He is perfectly entitled to add a condition on the

EVERYONE Could be my keyboard skills but I'm struggling to find some of the magazines on the CZ shop site. I have nevertheless sent them an email requesting part numbers and prices for all those mentioned in this thread so far. I'll keep you all posted via this thread in the short term and discuss in more detail through PM/email if it comes together. Cheers Deker

Mr Logic Did you make a wrong turn on the keyboard somewhere? Deker I've had enough of AirgunBBS for the time being - too much strife and aggression, am in search of adults To be honest there are some complete on that site but there are some decent folk as well, I'm not for having a go because they can be useful/helpful etc but this site is
