  1. I have been on the sharp end of the antis wrath recently so I decided that it was high time to give them a taste of their own medicine. They are starting to fight amongst themselves over the money that the Hunt Saboteurs Association are pulling in and it is in our interests to help them along the path of self destruction. Have a read and then pass the link on to any facebook user that you know. Get them to paste the link on any post on the HSA page. Your help is appreciated. Divide and conquer. http://antiwatching.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-mysterious-case-of-hunt-saboteurs.html?spref=tw
  2. +1 On that. You should not need a variation to ask for all other legal quarry. Just send a polite letter asking for it
  3. Hot days and hotter nights. Summer, the season that most look forward to, the cubs are out and are interested in everything, playing in the freshly cut fields with abandon. As a foxing man I know that this is the time to get on top and keep the numbers at an acceptable level. Problem animals will be dealt with as and when they occur. That is and indeed always has been the arrangement with the farmers that I shoot for. On the commercial side of my shooting I find that the clients idea of an acceptable number of foxes is none. Tonight was a commercial outing to deal yet again with the local scho
  4. I have a Browning X Bolt in .223 and have to say that it is the favourite out of all of my rifles by far. There is however a but... I have put less than a thousand rounds through it and I have noticed a serious fault with the magazine. I knocked up a hundred rounds using brand new Lapua match brass with FMJs to fire form them for an upcoming fun shoot. I loaded the magazine and when I went to cycle the bolt the round jumped out of the mag and wouldn't chamber. After trying a half dozen different rounds the problem persisted. I ended up using the rifle as a single shot for the day. I thought it
  5. I put just over two hundred rounds through my .223 before cleaning it the last time. I cleaned it out of guilt rather than a drop in accuracy, it was still bang on the money. Once cleaned I put five rounds of reloaded FMJ through to foul the barrel before shooting live quarry. Mass produced barrels are not lapped (google barrel lapping) It is good practice to run a barrel in. You do not need to clean it while zeroing
  6. +1 on the scope, all the money in your wallet on the scope and the change in your pocket on the rifle
  7. A hollow point will tend to mushroom where a ballistic tip really opens up a large wound channel. If the shot misses a vital organ the fox will run on. At night we all know what a pisser it can be finding one that drops on the spot if it is on uneven ground or in stubble. Hollow points suck on fox
  8. Stainless, wipe clean and won't rust because you couldn't be arsed to clean it at three in the morning. Mine is 1 in 12 and kills foxes
  9. Cheers guys. I took it into the gun shop today and they tried to run it on their chrono. The shout of "fukin' ell" came from the back of the shop and it is now in their hands for a strip re-spring and tune. I have all sorts of FAC stuff so it will be returned to 12 fp's and hopefully it will not knock my fillings loose when it comes back
  10. i do a lot of sea fishing what do i need to plug a few seals whats the licence i need if any ?????????????? Electrical type plug or sink type plug? The licenses will be different.
  11. Thanks Andy, I will strip it down over the weekend and run the numbers again
  12. Ok so how the fook do I stop it deiselling then so I can get a proper reading ?
  13. What actually causes an air rifle to diesel? I thought that it was oil in the barrel?? No smoke when it was fired.
  14. I'll give it a good clean then drop it over the chrono again tomorrow. If it really is pushing out that power I'll drop the spring out. Makes you wonder how people stay out of prison when they don't own chronographs. I wouldn't have had a clue without mine.
  15. I haven't had an air rifle since I was a kid, all of my stuff is FAC. How do I get an air gun on my ticket? The gun hasn't been shot for donkeys years would that make a difference?
