:11: Did you ask him what reason there was not to shoot rabbits for 8months of the year?
-
I seem to be finding quite a lot this year (for my area anyway)..Just got back from a couple of hours out and taken my sixth fox of the year, all being well a pic up tomorow..small vixen taken at about 160/170 yards with the .223. Cheers

The boiler does everything and the hot water gets there in the end but never quite manages to get the heating up to temp, rads are hotter upstairs than down but I put that down to hot rising and simply not enough hot water to go round all the rads, flushed the system a couple of weeks back and fully bled now! Screw been out of pump..running fine. Need to get the front off the boiler to check what sort of stat is fitted...Trouble is it is wall mounted but VERY built in..a fairly major task to get the front off but got to be done!
-
Many thanks for all the replies.....pump wise YEP!!!I've had the screw out and its going a treat. Got to admit I thought is was the stat but probably the PCB (£100ish) and most of you appear to go with that as well. MANY MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR TAKING THE TIME

Potterton Netaheat 16-22 around 1986. Fires up runs for about 3-4 minutes then cuts out, waits a few minutes then repeats the process, only ever stays on for 3-4 minutes and heating never gets up to full temperature! No air in the system and main pump is fine. Any ideas please? Cheers Deker

hi bullyhunt nice gun may i be so rude to ask how much you puchased it for. bin thinking of getting one many thanks davy If you can; stretch a bit further to the 410!

This can happen in any gun, wood is a natural product and whatever you do with it, sometimes it will twist, bend or swell, especially if exposed to extreme conditions. Many people have to do a little "easing" but if you are in any doubt about your ability take it to a gunsmith. Lets hope the problem is not actually a bent barrel!

Co2 NO :crazy: :oops: Do not use anything but simple clean dry "air"!!! No idea about the bottle you are referring to but it will need to take a minimum of about 200bar, most are rated at 232bar or 300bar.

Check out Basc.org.uk There are a number of different categories of member. The insurance may cost 5p a day but membership is a lot more! Basic insurance now gives £10,000,000 cover

No such thing as a daft question, maybe a few daft answers! I've been involved in this game, Air rifle, rimfire, centrefire and shotgun (and pistols) for more years than I care to remember, I'm Secretary of a Home Office Approved Fullbore Rifle Club at Bisley and run my own Game and Vermin Cortrol Company, etc, etc, etc and I still have a lot to learn!

Only you can answer that one, but you won't go far wrong with either! There have been/are so many variations of both, particularly the 686 it is impossible to answer! ATB Deker

My lad has a Gamo Shadow RSV and wanted a bipod, much against his Dads advice he bought a "Harris Type" off Ebay, drilled the stock and fitted the stud. It works far better than I expected but I have a feeling if he had his time over again he would not bother! Cheers Deker

TDR 40 shots per charge Carbine shots per charge Classic 100 shots per charge If you intend to work in confined space and want a kit gun get the TDR If you intend to lean out a car window all the time (very few really do) get the Carbine For all normal tasks get the Classic. I have heard good and bad about them all except the Classic, and I have only heard good about that! ATB Deker

Rules for prospective boyfriends of dads with teenage daughters Daddy's Daughter - Rules for the boyfriends Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they

Who has done most to publicise the Countryside to the masses?
Deker replied to The Sporting Agent's topic in General Talk
I was going to say Jack H right up front but thought very few of the yougsters would have heard of him. A master of communication in all things country with no political agenda. A tribute to him that so many still remember. He must be the man! -
Times are (have) changed at BSA! BSA have historically made some good reliable workhorse guns but what does Gamo say to you?

Hi John I don't usually get high numbers of Fox, maybe 10-20 a year so 5 in January is a lot for me (in 2007 I actually got more deer than fox). Could be there are a lot about so it may end up a big year! The tails are interesting, never done one before this year and now a couple of people want them! Cheers
-
Certainly looks the part if you are after the Varmint. Don't really understand the problem with this one, in theory a gun like this should last a "lifetime". We could go on forever about this..is it all ammo it has a problem with, I know some stuff like the CCI 40g subs are a bit tight up the throat which could cause some grief but this should still be able to pull everything out! On the other hand I recently bought the CZ Silhouette, well about a year ago, cracking gun all round! But I still want a Finnfire Hunter! Hope it all works out for you. Cheers
-
Cracking gun but the Varmint had the heavy barrel, I'm a bit of a wimp and want the Hunter, lighter barrel. Shame if this one has a problem, certainly unusual as the build quality is very good. GMK are the Sako importers and can fix anything ...well so they say...could be worth a word with them before you write this one off! Cheers
-
From that list a BSA Super10. The bottom line is it is almost impossible to select, it will be down to individual choice. What are you after ...rats, birds, rabbits? BSA S10 should deliver as close to 12ft lb as you can get, but so would most of the others. First choices OFF list: First Theoben R7 Joint second AA S410 (Not Carbine) Joint second Falcon RS 19
-
You will have a pretty wide choice for that budget, possibly the best place to have a look is Guntrader.co.uk

RS If you have found a Finnfire that fails to eject I suspect it does have a problem as the Finnfire does not suffer from this as far as I'm aware, it is only the Quad..they are different guns! Put it like this, if I could find a brand new Finnfire Hunter or a mint used one I would snap it up, but I'm not interested in a Quad. Cheers
-
Am I getting confused, the Finnfire which is discontinued is excellent (IMHO) but I have reservations about the Quad. Just my view! If you can find a new Finnfire (just possible but unlikely), or a good used one (people tend to hang on to them) I recon you are on a winner! Cheers Deker
