  1. Cracking photos. Must be a good photographer about. It was good to meet up and I was very impressed with the safe gun control by the young lad. Very conscious of the muzzle direction ? SD.
  2. I just think they are over rated personally. They don't get you more shots on game. They don't stop grumpy vegans hearing you. They do rot barrels, add weight and length and are expensive.
  3. Si, you really should not be patterning it in the house irrespective of how quite it is! That aside I get completely where Meece is coming from. However being quiet can account for more birds. I had a jackdaw job. They were raiding a finishing cattle shed. A carefully constructed hide enabled me and the muffed fourteen to account for many more birds before they twigged.
  4. You are legally entitled to make as much noise as you want for crop protection Si. That aside. I have used silenced shotguns and they are very good as long as they fit you ofcourse. They are all silly money for what they are though!
  5. Or, unscrew it and throw it away. Useless bloody barrel rotting things! Just sayin'....
  6. I would be surprised if the barrel is damaged. 223 creates enough heat in one shot to prevent condensation from the combustion alone. This is however typical of moderators. The rapid expansion into a cool moderator let's water vapour fall out of the gasses and get trapped. Then the water condensation runs down to the barrel when rifle is stored muzzle up! A piece of paper in the receiver and a light shining on it will illuminate the whole bore for you.
  7. All guns look great to me...I was being flippant. A bad trait of mine that I have to apologize for regularly!
  8. Sorry Ben. On reflection my comment was not kind. They are good strong dependable shotguns. Bigmacs advice is sound and a good point of reference. ATB. SD.
  9. Airguns have a place but when they start trying to compete with a rimfire and all economic sense goes out the window for some bazarr reason it becomes a no brainer.
  10. I have but not on them chair legged Beretta's mate. Sorry ?
  11. That's good then. Thanks for letting us know.
  12. Brilliant (no pun intended). I have some red filter. I will try that. Thanks.
  13. It's ok. Mine was second hand and came with a +4 lense as the dioptre is not adjustable. So unless your very short sighted focusing your eye on the screen will be difficult. I don't know if new ones come sorted dioptre wise. The eye cup is very loose on mine but black tape has secured it. Battery life is good and you can charge in the car with a phone charger. There are caveats though like temporary blindness after use.
  14. Honda 50's were six volt when you were a lad Meece ?
  15. Nice on mate. I just popped out last night to feed my little one coming to the camera. It was damp, misty and drizzling.
  16. No ta. Don't need it. Out side yes, internally no.
  17. Only ever owned one. Quite reliable, fiddly bolt stop/release. Horrendous trigger and a fiddle to correct but I did it.
  18. Recoil. Our natural desire is to get away from what we know is going to hurt us when in fact we are making it worse. When we try and hold off the gun even if very slight the gun imparts it's momentum in recoil to us abruptly because we ourselves are not recoiling with the gun....we become an obstacle that the gun recoils into and that is what is painful. When we have a good fitting gun and snuggle into it we actually become part of its mass....we add mass to the gun....we recoil as one and the recoil then feels much less. Does that make sense? Another tip I found works and
  19. A few weeks ago I oiled the bolt on the 452 because it got soaked. This cold weather comes along and I start getting misfires! Stripped the bolt and yep full of black gunge, combustion material stuck to the oil! Cleaned it out and struck an empty case in the chamber with a clean dry pin and yep, much better dent. Also I removed some burrs while I was there. SD.
  20. I can't add any more likes today but I'm laughing at Ben's comment ,? Yeah I like it, domestics introduce new blood, probably how VHD got started actually! One place of mine had some blooming big grey x wild things. Nearly as big as a hare. Skinned out easy and slightly more tender. All gone now, someone shot them ?. Some black and ginger ones around here. A visitor from Scotland and Africa no doubt
