For what is worth the "trade" magazines quite rate them! That usually means they have decent margins and/or don't go wrong!

The pain of the original wait is over and it never seems so much fun spending money as when you buy your first.

Looks like you've got it all to yourself!

First advice is get your tags from Environment Agency.

HMR Ammunition inconsistencies?
Deker replied to Rimfireboy!'s topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
It is true to say the HMR ammo has certainly had its issues, I have had well over 200 split cases at firing (probably a lot more I haven't noticed). One or two delayed ignition, probably less than 1/2 second but seems an eternity. Never a squib, YET, and never lost a shot/quarry from the issues. It isn't good, no argument, and there is a suggestion newer ammo has improved, just the same, my HMR is very important to me and staying put! Not experienced the issues in OP but have used Hornady V-Max Blue/Red almost exclusively for years now! -
Good luck!
-
That seems a fair idea!

Perhaps the Buy/sell/swap or classified sections would be best, either that or chuck everything Optilock away and invest in Sportsmatch at less than 1/4 the price! I have 2 Tikkas, one with Optilock and the latest Sportsmatch, never again will I buy Optilock, overpriced and flawed!

They can have debates with vehicles and potentially other hunters. Failing that, it will be back, creatures of habit, especially where they know food is available.

The Government and Parliament appear to be doing everything in their power to actually stop us leaving. This has been apparent for months but must be obvious to all now! An utter disgrace!

Good forum to join to expand horizons, share experiences and learn!

Whole thing seems/sounds odd!

Land looks cracking! Help me out, what am I missing, doesn't seem 5 minutes ago people always shouted at anyone taking shots at 50 yards and said stick with 30-35 yards shots. My FAC Falcon at circa 26ft lb is zeroed at 40 and that distance works just fine for me. Have rifles or people improved or what, whichever way you look at it the further out you go the power is dropping, and starting with only 12ft lb that's noticeable! Even if you are zeroed at 50 and all your quarry is at 50 your margin for error is tiny! I'm not having a go here, I've noticed several people talking

Which part of this is a surprise to anyone...from £140-£145, could have been a lot worse. Maybe is worse if your car is a bit older, but when was any Government Fair!?

Rub it down and invest in a tin of spray paint if it worries you, but it shows a lived in/used quality! I keep cleaning my car and my lad always says...…"why, it's a 4x4 it's meant to be dirty!"
-
Thank you for that, exactly my point and certainly NOT trying to cause U trouble.

Nothing to do with Putanges but your post just reminded me of this!

As I said earlier...more to come yet!

??????? I've not seen Underdog on a range!

I think there is a fair bit of life in this thread yet!

Yep....in principle that's a good Moderator, unless of course something has gone wrong with it!

Sadly I'm busy that weekend...whenever it is!

Shotguns are a whole world different to Air, especially PCP. Unfortunately they can become addictive...and expensive! Then its rifles, and targets and centrefire ammo at sometimes £2-£3 PER SHOT. Some of my club members can get through 80-100 centrefire rounds a session...that's why they tend to reload! Wait till the shotgun smacks you in the cheek a few times, very painful, and obvious to all! As we all say, gun fit and hold!

I'm pretty sure its a Mk1 as well. It looks in excellent condition and if it performs as good as it looks there is no issue with it being a Mk1 or Mk11. Looks like a great find in Freeads!
-
Yeah, my poor wording in agreement with you!
