I don't need no fox's to shoot myself in the foot mate!

It won't get any more banging headaches now!

Spent five hours last night chasing a dog fox. I got on him once but no shot. In desperation I have selected my secret weapon. I have been holding them back in reserve but now I have to call on them! I sure hope I can sock it to him later boys! I'll get me coat.....

You did well all things considered. Isn't it light. I been waiting for a chicken killer. He was about, I could here him barking and I got a glint but that's all. Let us know what's up with the car.

Err yeah. But don't worry I have underpants on underneath. ?

Yep, it's back to ounces and yards again, bout time too!

Stav, it's not a 250 you need, it's a Baikal silenced 410 ?

Went ratting tonight and shot five that's all. I walks around the back of the farm and not 40 yards away is a fox! Marvelous I think, here I am with me 410 and there is a fox 40yd away oblivious to the red lamp, great. Undeterred I tucks behind a thick gate post and squeak like a mouse. Blow me he comes straight in. At 17 paces ( later checked) I light him up a little more and he turns side on. I checks my aim and send 3/4 Oz of #7&1/2 reload. With arched back he trots off forty yards and lies down to die. It was all very quick. There was another fox across a couple of

Woodcock-nice to see them back
Sausagedog replied to tegater's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
An old keeper friend of mine witnessed it and I would never doubt his word on it. He even showed me where it happened. Once I was waiting for a fox in heavy snow fall. I was stood next to a stream in a wood. As the snow got heavy the woodcock started to arrive and waid in the stream. I was only a few yards away and watched their inter actions with each other, a mix of mild aggression and courtship. A magical moment. The fox turned up and the following gun shot shattered the show for me. -
Yes let's just run through it again.... I pay tax. I can not carry a concealed weapon for self defence. They don't pay tax and carry weapons for offence and assault. I own a home and FAC and my home can be raided at any time. They don't have a home and the police are not interested. So let's get it summed up. If you pay council tax that some goes to the police you are the one they hold to account for law breaking. If you don't pay council tax, lie, thieve, threaten and use violence the police leave you alone! Isn't modern Britain great.

Shoot the dogs, they will visit the farm anyway and rob it. Up security. Flatten the vans and torch the vehicles. The police will certainly be interested then! You can not appease these people, gone feral.

There is no pillar bedding either! By all means bed the lug but if it were mine it would be shimmed. Get that barrel out of the channel Gav. Can you get the trigger spring out? If so measure its length, it's diameter and it's wire thickness. You can then go on eBay to find one with less wire thickness or tell me and I can go and check my stock of springs.

Shucks Baldcoot . Yeah my PH was fitted/ bedded nice fore the action but all the way up the left side of the barrel the blueing had worn away in a thin line from kissing the stock during firing. I whittled the wood away so there was 1/8" clearance for the barrel and that 308 suddenly was putting three bullets down the same hole. It was a long range shotgun before that. A BSA CF2 was just the same and got the same treatment. The worst one was a Brno 527 in hornet. That had a bad stock that the forend was actually bent. If I whittled wood a week later it had mov

The fact that it preferred lighter loads is telling you something Gav. My money is on that barrel just vibrating on the stock.

Sure, new barrels do need breaking in yes. A process of elimination usually pins it down. Put some black tape on the mod and shoot through it to check it's been threaded true. When I got my wmr (don't dismiss it being a rimfire) it was very ammo fussy and always had flyers. I was not going to settle for that no way. On removing the barreled action I could see where the barrel had been running on the stock in the barrel channel! I also noticed the action inletting had a high spot causing the action to want to rock between the fixings! Being of low recoil I s

Was it not blowing up there today?
-
I'm on the glenmorange now so should make more sense!
-
All my rifles have been cheap. I don't mean the paper test Gav! Remove the action from the stock. Fit plastic shims between action and stock, refit stock with shims in place. The barrel will be out of the channel more, go test shoot. While it is out of the action check the barrels finish for any rubbing.
-
No need mate. It is not voodoo promise. ?
-
There is a simple test you can do to test the barrel in the stock. I forget what rifle you have but you can very often cut a plastic bottle up and make shims that fit just under the action at the screw points and that will lift the barrel out of the channel enough to reveal some improvement. Often bright witness marks can be seen on the barrel if it is vibrating against the stock. That will be happening during firing and will ruin the true potential.

I would gladly if I could have a look mate.
