    I have both! Started life with the Annie, I love it to bits, wont start talking long range accuracy as will get shot down in flames, however its great on a couple of my permissions where there are limited numbers of rabbits. 10 22, great fun off back of truck lamping or as mentioned earlier where there are multiple kills to be had, keep it clean. Out of choice I prefer the Annie for my shooting and get better satisfaction from it.

    The lessons I had were 1 to 1 using my 3 shot semi auto and I was doing 125 cartridges/birds in an hour and 10 mins of instruction, including breaks for guidance, so 25 birds may not be long at all?

    Ive been shooting rifles for last 30 years and recently bought my first shotgun. Didn't want to spend a fortune as I have previously made that mistake with rifles...Spent £1000s on one and wont use it in the rain....POINTLESS! After much thought and debate I went for a second hand Browning semi auto, I paid £400.00 for it including breach block with orange 'flag' 250 cartridges and a gun slip. Ive been absolutely thrilled with it and cannot recommend it highly enough. My main use is wandering the fields 'walking up' pigeons, I do however go on the odd friendly clay shoot where

    Thing is if he told you to 'feck off' he is behaving aggressively whilst in possession of firearm, threatening behaviour infront of a child......If you really wanted to go for him I think you could go for several things........

    I went to a guy 2 or 3 months ago who had been shot 5 times in the head with an air pistol. Thankfully this was a low powered legal one 6fps?? Only 3 of the pellets actualy penetrated the flesh/neck and one in hand from defence. I still think its an ideal limit, not impossible to kill someone but unlikely.

    I also had a cat shot.....they then poisoned a load of cats around here with antifreeze. We all know who did it, just couldnt prove it! And not an idiot or a yob, just didnt like cat poo I guess!

    Just very quickly......Mental health issues dont prevent you from having/obtaining FAC or SGC I have both. Makes it complicated, frustrating and time consuming but not impossible. I have had 2 spells of being, as someone else said earlier in the thread 'nuts' the last spell lasted for 18 months during which I was very unwell. I had to have several 'crisis' meetings with psychiatrists, GP etc and they all agreed that i was 'neither suicidal or homicidal' I also have a couple of serious criminal convictions (20 years ago). I actually feel the limit for airguns is about right

    Where abouts are you?

    I spent stupid money on my first rifle....fantastic stock etc.... Regret it now! I wont use it when it rains, stress about getting it damp etc! All my guns/rifles now are 'rough and ready'

    Is that the rapid? Was your earlier coment about holding it until the certs are sorted a genuine one? I am about to renew my FAC and was adding air .22 and .243. May change to .20 if your willing to take payment and hold it????

    Dunc, not sure where your located, your welcome to have a go with my Anschutz. Likes Eleys and I have quite a good scope that helps with the longer range. Very accurate, as stated though occasionaly the odd one goes astray for no obvious reason. I have no rabbits left on my permissions (I am a good shot, nothing to do with mixy!!!)so tend to spend a couple of hours a week paper punching at varying ranges. Its an interesting lr, certainly the best ive ever had.

    Zero for 30 to 60, 2 clicks for and a further 2 clicks for 100yrds. Consistant head shots at 100 if not breezy, off sticks/bipod/gate post Eley subs Not been on here for ages, this argument allways comes round.

    Must be French foxes

    Out of interest, I also have one in full working order, a .22 in fair condition. I have given it to my daughter as her first rifle, it was bought for me when I was 10 (1981) Are they actually worth something???

    Great job Martin!!! Not been on here in a while, good to see nothing has changed!!! Hope to get out after a few myself shortly!

    I also 'enjoy' the pictures! Same as I like looking at the fish pictures in Anglers Mail, It is good to see other peoples success!

    I love your 'Place in the country' comment, My new neighbours bought a house that featured on this program and when I first met them I had been shooting rats in the snow and had my air rifle under arm.....you should have seen her face! Dont know which shocked her the most, the rifle or the fact rats live in the countryside....... Was very funny.....they are now good friends/neighbours, no longer shocked to see people with rifles or shot guns and she no longer likes the crows in her trees.........

    Hi Deker, Thought Mr Ryan had an AK47 not an air rifle?

    When I first got mine I was cleaning it all the time, I enjoyed doing it! I was told to pack it in, bit of a bad habit!!!!!! Now clean it every 500 rounds or so, the moderator gets a bit clogged up at 1000 rounds so needs a strip down and rebuild. If you enjoy cleaning it then carry on, otherwise just keep it obviously clean and dry. Ie pull a patch through with moisture repellant, wipe dirt, muck and wet off and some say take the mod off for storage! CBW

    I feel snap is on the right path, I was in the same boat a couple of years ago! If I were to do it again I would apply for, .22 lr, .17hmr and shotgun. I mostly regret not adding the shotgun at the same time as my FAC....Please make sure you dont make the same mistake!!! Keep us posted! CBW

    Hi Deker, Cant help but think the 204 would have been the best calibre!!!!!!!!! Hope you are well, nice shooting, dont let the b*****ds get you down!!!!!# CBW
