I have an open ticket , have been shooting for many a year and have a 50 cal+ 338 lap mag and to many smaller rifles to boot ,so thats not the issue the issue is what forces are implementing the new guidelines,and who are draging their heels. bigrifle I obviously do not know your individual situation and with regards your .50 Cal (What game is that licenced for on your ticket in this country) or .338. You may have an Open ticket but that is nothing to do with deer or deer experience.....there are plenty of people with an Open ticket but no mention of deer on them.....if you do not ha

As far as I'm aware ALL 12ft lb PCP will do at least 40-50 shots per charge, some do (at least the manufacturers say they do) 300-400shots per charge! I have a 12L 232 Bar bottle, but if I had my time again I would buy the same size but 300bar. HOWEVER mine is running at 26 ft lb, I get about 32 shots per charge and I use it a lot. Some examples I nicked from another post. 3litre cylinder at 232 bar holds 696litres of air 3litre cylinder at 300bar holds 900 litres of air 7 litre at 232 bar holds 1624 litres 7litre at 300 bar holds 2100 litres 10litre at 232 bar holds

Call me stupid (you would not be the first) but what is this and how does it work (eroboard?? and what sort of/size of glass??). Can you use small words so I can follow please. Cheers Deker

Now I'm not sure on this one but if that was the case we would all be doing it....my understanding is that a compressor to give you 185 - 220 bar (most 12ft lb Air rifles are in that range and Daystate near the top of it), would cost a fortune, far more than a bottle....the charging equipment at my local dive centre came to more than £10,000. You do of course also need dry air, many compressors will not deliver that. Buying used bottles should not be any problem because of test requirement but remember you need an air rifle valve on it not a dive valve. Thought it sounded too easy

http://www.falcon-airguns.co.uk there is a very small picture of the magazines in the accessories section. Now, I'm not an engineer but from what I see of these AA mags you could knock up the Falcon in your sleep. Mind you they also cost a load less than the AA. If you would like to have a better look I'll happily send you one to check over if you want to PM me. Cheers Deker I like the cut of your jib...I wonder how many other people know what we are talking about...the word?

Now I'm getting confused...are you saying that an AA Field (16.2-16.4g)in my 26ft lb PCP will produce more power (ft lb) than a Bisley Magnum (21.4-21.6g), because that is not what my chrono says. 18-20grains for a .22 pellet traveling at about 780fps I haven't done the maths but it is easy to see those figures add up to be well into FAC. Edited Perhaps not I've just read it again a few times....but I still don't understand the 12ft lb either, Bisley magnum always produced a bit more power in my Falcon than AA Field when it was 12 ft lb. It is also well known that

Cheers Macnas...taken in the spirit my comments were intended....I did actually have one many moons back..it rattled, was loose as they come and to be honest frightened me to death (oh yes...it looked like a piece of farm machinery as well, wish I could remember the model), but to be fair it worked! I run 3 Berettas at the moment, so I'm a bit biased but I have to say I do like the Miroku. Whoever would have though the Japs would be able to make a shot gun? Deker

16" Wheels. Tyres (factory fitted) that I have at the moment are 215 65 16 Bridgestone Dueler. There is also a 17" wheel fitted on some of the X-Trail range but I don't really want to change the wheels as well as the tyres. Cheers Deker

I have a .177 S410 and the heavier the pellet the less power it put's out on the cronograph.. the lighter pellet's give more ftlb.. Millet Millet That is very interesting. I've not had a .177 for about 20 years and to be honest I'm pretty sure it never went through a chrono. But I have to say that the heavier pellet always produces a small amout more power (ft lb) in my .22 PCP. Mine runs at around 26 ft lb and I use AA Field but when I use the Bisley Magnum I get about .5 ft lb more. I always assumed (actually never though about it) that the .177 would produce similar results.

OK ....how much will you charge to make some for the Falcon. It's 8 shot, no springs and a lot simpler than these AA. These do look good....congrats!!!! Deker PS Fubar was a word commonly used back in the days when I worked for a living...is it the same?

i couldnt see the barrel wearing out after 2000 rounds mate. i no someone that has shot over 4000 in his and its still as good as the day he had it he said. i no its a powerfull for a rimfire but i havent heard of a barrel wearing out on one. they get nowhere near as hot as a centrefire so i couldnt see one wearing out. and if it did it wear out which again i think it wouldnt it would wear out on one thats used at a range alot. if your friends just using it for hunting then you have no worrys. and just remember to boresnake it every 40 to 50 rounds. and rod it every couple of 100 or so

CCI Shotshell rimfire round.
Deker replied to mole trapper's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
With more and more people putting moderators on ther rimmy shot shell sales are going down. GMK are the CCI importers so if you can't get them from your dealer have a word with them. Deker -
name='Bagpuss' date='Dec 5 2007, 08:59 PM' post='358631' ...don't buy a fabarm! thanks for the help , but WHY? Ok...they tend to be Agricultural, unreliable and don't hold their value well. Always a difficult one this because no doubt loads of people will come back and say mine is great and never let me down (well maybe one or two might). It is a personal choice and by way of new guns there isn't really a BAD one out there, even a lot of what is coming out of Turkey offers excellent value for money these days, there are just some that are not as good as others.. If you

Guntrader.co.uk The site is nowhere near as good as this but it does have a lot of guns for sale. Oh...and any help would be great...don't buy a fabarm!

I have an ASE S5 on my .223 and it does help but it also screws up the balance. There are plenty out there and all work quite well, on the whole though they are not cheap, prices from about £160 (if you haggle) to £300. Is the gun screwcut, don't forget to factor in that cost and of course you need the FAC variation. Deker

Very grateful for the responses and advice. I've been digging around to find suppliers and it seems that my AT tyre choice is more than a little limited due to the size of my wheels Cheers Deker

Don't all start shouting at me this is my opinion only! PCP is the way forward, they will always be more accurate as there is absolutely no thump when you pull the trigger. They are already generally used by Gamekeepers and Vermin control. Shots per charge is improving all the time as valving and regulaters improve. You do need a bottle or pump though and of course they tend to be a lot more expensive than springers. Also a lot easier to FAC, but then again the shots per charge go down. Springers are a long, long, long way from being dead and burried. There are plenty of exce

Unless you zero lots of guns from scratch or have plenty of cash I would not bother! I don't have any problem bore sighting my centrefires by eye down the barrel (the rimmy is easier). I start at about 100 yards, always get it close enough to land on an A4 sheet and then its very simple with just a couple of rounds to put it virtually spot on at almost any distance. You can do it quicker and easier with a bore sighter but once you have done it you will tend to only ever re zero by using a couple of rounds...no bore sighter will put you down the throat at 200-300 yards with the first

4 pages of responses and over 1200 viewings...certainly had some reaction.....got to be honest I have only read a bit but I suspect leon has it about right...after all the comments and input I would have thought it best to keep to Nissan spec and if in any doubt about anything (dipstick), a trip to a Nissan dealer may be in order. Hope all goes well. Deker

I think you either missread or didn't get to the end of the line, what I said was:- The .243 kicks all right as it has its origins in the .308 case, but in simple terms you will find it a little harder than your .222 but it is certainly not a heavy kick. I think that is pretty accurate! You are making some incredible .243 home loads if they are like shooting an air gun . Cheers Deker

They are noisy, uncomfortable, rattle, f*****g hopeless handling on the road, slow, thirsty, very basic and very expensive for what they are. On the plus side they have lots of torque, are one of, if not the best off road vehicle you can buy, easy to repair (loads of third party parts available), go on forever, hold their value and look the part! Don't rule out the 110. The latest version looks like a real tarts motor inside! If you spend a LOT of time off road well worthy of consideration...If you intend to spend most of your life ON Road, forget them! Deker
