  1. Tried (luckily) just one box & nowhere near accuracy of old batches:maybe just a bad batch but will stick to RWS for present despite lower velocity.
  2. "is that one of dannys, drut?" Yes it certainly is SSS.
  3. "Nice 1 Elliott the .22 is surprisingly good on Charlie" Although I use ,222 for fox(can be fed reduced hornet level loads as can .223 )I shoot just as many foxes with .22lr purely because they present "targets of opportunity"when I am out rabbit shooting with .22lr. Given precise shot placement & sensible range .22lr is very effective on fox.
  4. +1. Marmite I guess?? Reckon so,overall I think its personal choice.I can see more detail on the monitor screen than the near eye display units I've tried but find it clumsy when carrying rifle.
  5. Unless I have picked it up wrong,going by these results black sun is only about 5% more powerful than as pill: http://www.nightvisionforumuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=12957&hilit=results
  6. Personally I use a .222 without feeling undergunned & often reload to down 22 Hornet energy.The real question,to me,is how far do you need to shoot:if I had different permissions I might need a .204/22-2250/.243 instead of the .222.I freely admit I would love to find a good reason to buy some other calibres but .222+22lr covers all my needs.Back to your choices,my take is you need to be routinely shooting beyond 200yds or have windswept land to need more than .223 but you can't be wrong with either choice.
  7. Best advice I could give is to talk to your doctor/gp and ask for his opinion before applying : if police have any doubts they will contact/want a report from him or her.
  8. I have a .222 that I take when targetting fox or long range vermin : very accurate & fox capable BUT shoot nearly as many foxes in a year with 22lr purely because they present themselves at relatively short ranges whilst I am out targetting rabbits.Unless you can hit the right area within the calibre's capabilities you should not take the shot but 22lr is a very underrated round.
  9. CCi Velocitor are the best by a country mile through my CZ452:accurate as subs + hit hard.Other Hv with the notable exception of RWS(also good) have had poor accuracy.
  10. Have a remote u caller,bought new for £65,seems to work well enough:easy 100yd range.Tried a range of calls as its easy to load other mp3's(Varmint Al/Western Rivers etc),but for some reason never had any success with fox calling,seems best/good at atracting crows(photography ).Overall for fox,wam/mouth calls work better:disappointed!
  11. Looks identical to mine,had it for 2+ years,works fine for me.
  12. Thats a blast from the past,have used them years ago.HV but were quite accurate through my CZ.AFAIK velocity was about 1230 fps.
  13. Legal but a large fishing holdall attracts less attention.
  14. If,as is common on T8's ,it is a corrosion "bleed through" spot,safe repair can be done by brazing/silver soldering etc.
