  1. Don't think it's trying to prove anything its just a vid I saw and thaught it may be of interest to someone. My shooting partner had a remington 597 .22 lr and we found my fac airgun was more accurate and opened up more safe shooting opertunitys for a shot than the .22 lr. Personaly think I prefer the airgun. It an interesting video.
  2. Part 2... https://youtu.be/8PqQD_oByOk Part 3 https://youtu.be/AC8xoEZEiik Part 4 https://youtu.be/pDf8wWCoZrs Not watched through them all myself yet but will be interesting no doubt!

  4. Hi yes you will need one, you can get a day one from the post office or the post office website... http://www.postoffice.co.uk/rod-fishing-licence Good luck with your fishing!
  5. I don't think they are overly long to me but here's a pic of mine (full lentgh) next to a barrel shortened hw99 for comparison....... They are very slender - my Bro had the carbine version very rare and one of the nicest guns iv ever seen.
  6. Cheers moxy I have helped vaccinate sheep for fluke before but never knew it was so prevent. I just looked about online and came across this... https://youtu.be/9gROA6ElmV8 Strange life cycle!
  7. Hi moxy I know hardly know anything about liver fluke, just what I was told yesterday. Apparently they are spread by snails?
  8. My fac airgun (.22 @ 26.6 ftlbs) is zeroed at 40 yards and is a mil dot of holdover at 60 yards on 6x mag. Even at 60 yards it hits with a good crack.

  11. Nice bag still was blowing again in north Yorkshire today I only managed 3 woodies. I should have taken the shotgun!
  12. Rabbit population seems a bit down on my perms here in North Yorkshire. Hardly any hares about at mo either - last year I was trpiping over them! (I don't shoot hares I must add)
  13. I checked falcon owners forum for you and there is not any lighthunters available. Give aron wheelers a ring he often has them.
  14. Bless him that's ace bet it made his week! When I was 6 I used to dream about fish like that!
  15. Hi Charlie iv had a look and they look nice, propper oldschool styling! Sounds an interesting design with the bearings too.
  16. This salmon parr was caught on the U R E and incase anyone might be interested there's a fish counter at tanfield and the counter is updated weekly on their website here..... http://www.uresalmon.org.uk/ I been watching for quite a while and quite a lot of fish pass through it.
  17. The cz sounds interesting Charlie caller. I love the 99 because it's so light and pointable. I was tempted to try a diy tune on a .177 but was put off for the same reasons. I just wish I'd baught a hw99 sooner.
  18. Thank you very much MIK and ROM1 I'm chuffed to bits it's a salmon parr! Really happy! Would love to catch a big one one day. Nice pics by the way.
  19. Tonight I had the pleasure of trying a new untuned .22 hw99 and they are bloody good as standard! they are a lot of gun for the money brand new and after a fettle amazing! Here's an old thread from my brother a couple of years ago.... http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/325196-hw99s-my-new-tuning-toy-;/ Are there many hw99 users on here and what are your thaughts on this gun?
  20. Yes occasionally I mainly use my rws excalibure (posh webley raider lol) but it's nice to have as a back up gun and for the occasional wander - It's a lovely thing! I just fitted a hw mod and it's really quiet with that fitted too! And agreed - rez,s videos are mint!
  21. Only just spotted this thread - yep your right it was your old gun!
  22. This is the fish in question.... Can anyone tell me if it's just a brownie or my over exited imagination? Cheers! Tom.
