  1. Iv braught it to my bivvy instead ??
  2. Couldn't agree more I tried putting the foot down but Ithe didn't end well lol ?
  3. Some of us have unfortunately had no choice ?
  4. Thank f**k that shite over. I'm just getting my batteries ready for lamping.
  5. My best mate is from whitby he calls everyone from my way wezzys too lol.
  6. Awsome to see! You have gone a long way through the calibres over the last couple of years fair play David!
  7. No but I'd have one and used to know a guy with one who loved it. His was a single shot in .22 I think he had it at 24 ft lbs and swore by it I dunno on shot count tho it was a while ago.
  8. If this is any use to you I got 28 shots from my .22 excalibure at 27 ftlbs and it 1 holed at 40 yards with Bisley magnums with 1 mill dot of holdover at 55 yards.
  9. If you look on gun trader and go through the search options for an air rifle in .22 then filter it to firearm you will see lots of cheap fac airguns for sale. I just had a look there's a logun axor at 30 ftlbs for £150 and a nice looking s410 for only £325. Personally I used an rws excalibure but a fx2000/raider are very similar and superb guns - they can also be found cheap. Fac airguns are cheaper than sub 12 guns in general (for the same gun).
  10. Very nice Elchapo they are a great bit of kit aren't they!
  11. Very nice sausagedog do you reload with hand tools? I'm looking into it.
  12. I was 320 quid firom kirklees guns in huddersfield. I'd love to reload like you do its something I'll do when I get time. It's as light as a feather I love it. Plastic too so I dont worry about marking it and it folds up small too. When I'm out with it I feel like I've left something behind it's that light its replaced my airgun. I do struggle tho at night a red dot or something would help a lot.
  13. Cheers elchapo the subs I'm using are as loud than the box of standard 3 inch magnum eleys I had before I dunno how that works out! I'll try find some no.5,'s thanks for that.
  14. Good arnt they - I been using mine with 18g of 6,'s subsonic I use it to 25 yards. What .410 do you use Elchapo?
  15. Last night I went for a wander with the adler stealth .410 it was a very still, bright and quiet night but very eventful! I saw a few shootings stars, had a partridge fly into my face, watched a tawny owl try catch a mouse and was watching badgers for a long while some as close as 5 yards - They where not bothered by me at all! I managed to get a video clip of one of the badger's excuse the quality my phone is old.... The adler was brilliant I just need some sort of sight for night use. I managed 5 rabbits but only 3 in the pic I took as I left 2 in the car from 1st lap. I can'
  16. What an amazing thing to watch MIK can I ask, what river is this filmed on?
  17. This gun brings back some memories a pocket full of marksman pellet's and a 4x20 scope. I had a rabbit with one of these too. Mine was stamped el gamo but missing the sticker. I remember buying it from a gun shop In Harrogate called the way of the warrior for £18 it was my birthday and I got 20 quid in a card I got this gun and a tin of marksman pellet's and a 4x20 scope for 20 quid in the mid 1990,'s . I got the rabbit at about 8 yards and my grandma cooked it in a slow cooker. I was so proud when we ate it.
  18. Have a look on freeads I seen one or two on there earlier. Aaron wheelers at brighouse had one in last time I was there too. Good luck with your search - ace guns!
  19. I know what you mean. I took one home as a kid the bag was rustling all night. Very creepy lol.
  20. Yes they get over fished.... https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2018/october/you-are-probably-completely-unaware-of-the-largest-wildlife-crime.html It's a big shame. When my dad was a kid he would get an eel a chuck on the rivers. Years ago the environment agency shifted thousands into the aire locally and these have done well I catch these when I fish the aire.... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest/thousands-of-eels-are-released-into-the-river-aire-1-2090699/amp It would be great if this was done more often into our rivers! They hav
  21. Fair enough then if your not fishing catch and release. I like to release mine as they are in decline and they will be there to catch again in the future. Do you eat them? If so how do you cook them? Cheers. Tom.
