  1. Cz quote pretty much that across their range of products give or take a thousand rounds. It is very easy to over clean a barrel. Anecdotes soon become lores but in my experience leaving moisture in any bore will shorten the life of a barrel on a sporting rifle quicker than anything.
  2. I dont clean it everytime but make sure the damp is removed.
  3. Everytime I come home with my 17 I use a little pull through and cotton patch for the barrel in these cold and damp conditions and everytime I do it the patch is damp! The number of barrels I have seen little spots of rust damage in them has made me a little paranoid. It's not so bad for stainless barrels but non stainless it's important and I recommend a quick pull through or rod and mop soon after your return home. I dont do the 22 due to it using lubricated bullets which also coats the bore. Never seen a rusted 22 barrel post corrosive priming! Just sayin.
  4. I've never been to Wilts! Oh, the bird. U not A ?
  5. £59 ?. How things have gone up! Mind you it gives a good return.
  6. I like the idea of 40gn in 5mm. They will give a good bc. How much are the Fiocchi?
  7. Quite pleased with the mouse gun as well...its doing alright ?
  8. Best time two control local reproduction mate. Two vixens recently is good. I never heard any screaming tonight just dogs barking.
  9. The rut is on. Have heard a few barking tonight and seen two. One large dog came charging from 300yds away down to 50 with a squeal from me and me stood out in the moonlight! Heard some pinks flying over tonight as well. It got to cold for me gone 9:30. My chest was hurting from it. Nice bowl of rabbit and leek and potato stew and a shot of whiskey should fix that.
  10. Been shooting pests on a farm. Millions of them.....well I was finished for the day when the farmers father turns up, 78, with an old tatty looking webley mk3 in 177. He bought it second hand over 50years ago! When I asked how he was doing with it he said he was getting a few with it. Never asked what pellets he was using. Should of, he probably would of produced a tin with Lincoln Jeffreys written on it!!
  11. I'm disgusted! That's semi professionals for ya..... ? just kiddin'
  12. Not with percussion guns. Flint, a little but not much.
  13. You know when I said I've only ever shot one snipe with a muzzleloader and probably wont again? Well I have this morning! One was an easy 30yds but the other was a fast left to right, second barrel at 40yds plus! That's good for a frontstuffer! Quite pleased ?
  14. If there is one thing I hate its snow! If there is one thing I love hunting in its snow! As you know I've been feeding a fox. Think my trail cam just packed up but the fox had taken a pheasant I left it after I breasted the meat. This morning was my first chance to get out after a few days of bad gout. The forecast was snow but went out anyway. I moved into the patch I knew it was living in. Checked the baiting point. Pheasant gone and two of the three squirrels still present. After I approached a gate, opened it, went through it, shut it, looked down the long meadow
  15. Never had much snipe shooting but did get a first two seasons back, a snipe with a muzzleloader. May never repeat it again.
  16. That surprises me! I was expecting 1&1/2lbs
  17. Yeah. So if you cut a hole in a hedge to put a cage around a nest......wont the nest fall out of the hedge ? Idiots, devoid of any reality on the ground. Heads full of a fairy tale world.
  18. What's the trigger like? Like a glass rod snapping I bet.
  19. I've got one on camera. Just after 8pm, 2am and 6am he visits the stink pit.
