Due to other intrests this mint huntsman is going up for sale, ive maybe put through 500 pellets myself and the gun is A1, really not sure if i actually want to sell it so it is not going to go cheap so please dont PM me with silly offers. The gun is a Daystate Huntsman MK11 177 single shot. Gun is fantastic, mint and clean with all the chequering really nice and sharp and crisp, i doubt this gun has been used much at all. I bought the gun from a guy on AirgunBBS who has had 3 of these and he said that this was the best example he'd had of the gun. Sean3513 from this forum will vouch f

Hmmm, why not put some decoys in your garden, then when the corvids and Pigeon land in the tree they "May" decide to come investigate in your garden, allowing you to shoot them quite legally in your own garden, this is kinda assuming that your garden has a stone, brick wall between it and the field with the tree to use as a backstop. Otherwise you still face the same problem if you do miss with the pallet able to freely pass into land where you have no permission to shoot.

Markha , i'll have to see about shooting, i havent got a problem with it solo shooting can be a bit dull, but the permission is new to me and im new to them so id best get some trust with them first, they did ask if id be on my own when i got the permission on Monday night, i said i would be. I'll give them an ask in a couple of weeks, better still im only in colwyn bay till Aug at the latest so once im gone you may have the permission all to yourself, all 200acre of it!! i'll let you know tho and hopefully get something sorted. Yeah Garfield its the one from BBS,and it seems a belter,

Thanks for that i'll give it a go

Also we cant go next Sat can we numb nuts, we are going to Airkix arent we?!??!?
-
hmmm surely when you balls an get caught before spotting it yourself you have to leave it and not edit it!!! been off here all aft and have no idea what you ballsed up, im also unsure how you can balls up such a simple sentenance??!?! Anyway yeah Sat should be ok, tho Fri may be better, need to speak to you about squirrels too, no rabbits on the new permission in wales, tho lots of squirrels, summat ive not shot before. May need a few pointers, other than buying some hazelnuts for the lil buggers!!

Never got out till gone 7.30 so only put bout 20/30 pellets through it max at a post at 35/40yrds touch, didnt think it was worth your while coming through to be honest for a little over 30mins plinking, it was shooting high believe it or not out at 35!! which i found odd, what you reckon? oh and off to the left but this may of been me being a lil rusty. its nice tho but them 177 pellets are a bit fiddly. Though the loading aint as bad as i was expecting so i may live with it!

Picked it a Daystate Huntsman MK2 S/S 177 on friday, been looking at a scorpion T10 with bottle guage and everything you could want/need, but it was just a touch to rich for me, good deal but more than i had to spend really, so when this popped up on thurday night i was sold really. Rifle, scope, slip, a LOT of pellets, and a bottle and guage, under what i had to spend! real happy, even more so when i got to hold the rifle, never had much to do with Daystate not a fan of electronics in rifles, just something else to go wrong IMO. but got to say it is nice to hold and all the chequering on the

Thanks for the replies guys, was looking at the scorpion and had made my mind up to go get it but it was a bit more than i wanted/had to spend at £470, anyway in the mean time a Daystate Huntsman Mk2 came up 177 S/S with bottle scope, more pellets than i have room for and a slip at £330, which is under what i wanted/had to spend, so i have bought that instead, i think i'll save for another couple of months and maybe trade to a multi shot tho, as 177 pellets are a bit fiddly for my liking, its a lovely gun tho. Anyway thanks for your replies the BSA T10 is on my list of guns that i want t

it'llhelp your sale if you let people know where you are based as its a pick up nly sale
-
ok Thanks for that Garfield, its just been to John so its not regulated by the sounds of things, with a scope, bipod, 12ltr 300bar divers bottle, gun slip, metal mag from John, and a sac silencer whats it worth?
-
Used a Hornet before and couldn't get on with the MCC, not saying its a bad system, just saying i didnt like it, the T10 i am looking at/considering has been blue printed by John Bowkett, this means it has a regulator dosen't it?? or can he tune them but not put a regulator in it. I may be way off the mark but i always thought if a gun was blue printed that meant it was regulated, if i am wrong then someone please feel free to educate me. I was worried abput the floating barrel what with its main use being hunting is it not prone to being bumped and knocked out of zero?? have to admit i do

As above really looking at picking up a 2nd hand one and wanting to know how people who have had them have gotten on with them. I have had a MK1 rapid, Loved it but not the best looking gun, and an AAS410K, again nice but felt a bit like i just had the same thing as everyone else, great gun but not exactly uncommon, for a good reason granted. like i say great gun. Anyway all t10 owners or ex owners give me your honest opinion. And yes i have searched and read a lot, and found out a lot, before posting this,just looking for some more views and opinions.

Hi been a while since i was last on here but thought id have a look about and see what was going on, mainly because work have sent me away from my normal area of habitat. I have permissions up near to where i live that if truth be told i have left alone for a while to try and let them repopulate a little, the farmer dosen't mind and is happy for me to come as often or infrequently as i like. Problem/opportunity is i work for a civil engineering firm and i have been moved away to work down in North Wales, Colwyn Bay. the area is surrounded by farming land so i am going to start look

Hi, for sale are my Alpinestar 1 piece leathers, they are only just one year old but i have had to sell my bike and so the leathers are of no real use to me. They are like brand new, the knee sliders are completly untouched, id say the leathers have done less than 500miles. I bought them in May last year from hein gericke in Preston for £549, they are a size 40UK chest or 50EU and are in Black These are a total bargain for £250, if you need anymore info PM me or send me you number and i can give you a ring to answer any questions. Postage can be arranged as an extra and i

HI, Up for sale is my good clean AAs410k .22 cal with a hard case 500 pellets and a hawke 4-12x50 plus bits and pieces for 350 delivered. it incls a filling adapter and 2 magazines. I got this gun from this site about a year ago, when i bought it a little of the bluing had come off the barrel, the gun still looks nice and smart but it is worth a mention that some blueing is missing. I have had no problems with the gun and it is a shame to see it go really but i have just got another Rapid 7 so i need to free up a little space. I would prefer face to face in and around the nort

Fair one that does make it a little bit trickier, i have always liked the look of the t10 synthetic stock and i personally do not like the cocking system on the ultra, i aint shot an ultra but i believe there cocking mech is the same as the bsa hornet which i have shot, i stand to be corrected on thast one. Not shot a scorpion but i like the look and when i was looking at getting one everyone who i spoke never had a bad thing to say really. Buster 22 magpie slayer hahaha

It really works, the tin foil must glint in the brezze and catch their eye and then once in they can't get enough of the dog food. or my AA S410K haha

Thought i'd share with you something i found out by total accident but which may be of use. The last 5 weeks i have spent sat inside due to me having to start and finish my dissertation in this time, anyway i am lucky as i live in the lake district and have a little bit of land that is visible from my dads house. So i am sat inside at the kitchen table doing my work and keep seeing a pair of Magpies dancing around, these are bird i hate with a passion, but i have never had much look shooting them, whether i am too impatient or just not quite good enough to nail them i dont know. I have
