    good to see youre getting into firearms mate. hows the process going? have you had the interview yet? to be honest im not the most experienced here but ive had my cz for nearly two years now, i know i use a different calibre but sub 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yards is ideal. you dont need anything more than that and i think everyone who uses a .22 would agree. if you have the spare dollar use it to get a better scope

    ha dont worry i have no intention on giving it up. the only worry i have is that they may disagree seeing as ive barely used either rifle in the last year. otherwise i cant see it being a problem. ill let you know the outcome. cheers for the advice jack

    ok from what i understand a good head on a buck is a sign of an all round buck. what i dont understand is why so many stalkers are constantly on the lookout for great heads. (not great head everyones looking for that). i understand the sporting aspect of it, getting a good trophy etc, however, am i right in saying that alot of stalkers are careful in their culling in that they will leave a good buck to spread its good genes and cull the poorer bucks??? or is it all about getting the best bucks you can get? jack

    he has every right to put any picture up that he wants as long as its legal. this site is all about people who come together through a love of hunting. the harsh reality is that no matter how defenceless a cub is it is still a pest and will eventually require disposing of if he let the cub grow up. personally i thought it was an interesting read and at least hes being clever about it rather than shooting a vixen and purposefully leaving the cubs to die. dont be so self righteous

    ric i apologise i didnt make it particularly clear. i do have a deer condition on my ticket, even though i have not done a dsc (this seems to me to be usual practice for most constabularies now). I am aware of what an open certificate entails, basically means that i can choose which land to shoot over if i deem it safe and i have the permission of the landowner. i do have a fair number of munties on my land but no roe. we used to get a few years ago but theyve moved on. my mate wants me to be shooting on his land as he enjoys being out and doesnt have an FAC. i havnt actually had many ant

    the feo is coming over on wednesday to discuss a few things with my certificate. ive got a mentoring condition on my .243 which he says will be removed which is good news. however ive also asked to have my certificate opened up so that i can shoot on my mates farm. he's got a massive fox problem on his farm and also some roe deer which i dont get on my permission. the problem is that all i need to have my certificate opened is proof that ive been shooting both rifles loads. ive had the .17hmr since december two years ago and the .243 since last april/may but because ive just done my first year

    i headshot a hare with my .17hmr ranged at 187 yards. however it was on a very still day. wouldnt bother if there was any wind. depends how well you know your rifle really. deker claims a 200 yard rabbit with his .22lr. perfectly possible if you know bullet drop

    cant go wrong with cz mate.
  14. arveyboy
    you put your rifle down with that stag still standing mate. usually you need to shoot it first

    i havnt got a picture at the moment but about a year ago i shot a rabbit that was almost red. never even seen one before or after then

    i'm going to disagree with everyone here so im prepared for the slating. i think a 20 bore or even a .410 is good to start with because it encourages you subconsciously to be a better shot. i found that having a 'harder' gun to work with made me a better shot as it made me more consistent and more accurate. then once you reach that level of consistency you can switch to a 12g and its happy days. my mate used to go on shoots with a .410 and was killing birds that the old buggers with their 12g's couldn't hit. obviously a 20g is more expensive as a general rule but it worked for me. just my 2p w

    he wants a rimfire rifle for rabbit shooting. sorted. however cyclone i do agree with you in that he should clue himself up on ballistics and know all there is to know for when he has the interview. when i first applied for mine i spent a number of months reading up on rimfire calibres and learning all i could to ensure i had no problems when it came to my application

    if you can get a full set up for £200-300 you'll be laughing. and i'll be crying. the rifle alone cost £350 for me in .17hmr and i spent alot of time looking for the cheapest deal. it turned out that at the time my local dealer had the cheapest deal which was very convenient. my whole set-up cost me £750 give or take a few

    howcome english and scottish sika look so different? is it their environment or am i being a flid and comparing this sika to a sika/red hybrid???? well done fh bet you were glad you got a result. the bloke does look like a swede.

    jamie what mod are you using on your 17hmr? is that the wildcat whisper? had the choice of getting one of those but was told the difference is insignificant. whats your opinion after using one? cheers, jack

    Yeah this is what I hear. Thing is this dealer said they should be in real quick, wouldn't have thought he'd lead me on... Hope not anyway. Will keep pestering him That's what I thought/ reckon it should be. But they said for them 22RF means LR, even though they're all rim fire. I'd like a hornet, but I notice on guntrader they're not common, and very expensive. Don't have a centrefire on my permission, but plan on asking one of the many local farmers. Does anyone know of a farmer in norfolk wanting some vermin control? .22 hornet is definitely the calibre to do it all for you.
