    That's brilliant grim, thanks mate. I'll keep this together with your range setting post. Could I also ask if you can do an explanation of the fittings that connect the scope to the rifle. There seems to be a variety of these as well? Thanks again.

    Now that is what I call "love of a favoured tool." - I think I manged about 5 years with one before it went walkies.

    I like the Opinels too for fishing - Just out of interset; what do you do if they take in too much water and get really hard to open? I mean, is there a lubricant you use?

    I hope you take care if you try to rid yourself of cling-ons with it! Has it got a laser as well?

    I was a bit slow there, thanks Marko.

    I found it hard to resist putting this up: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7671712.stm Good luck to anyone that manages to get there! I suppose it would be appropriate to say: Think not too lowly in your aspirations.

    Naaaah, looked at the pics: Too wierd for a beginner. Is that an RPG under the barrel? Where's the trigger? Can I have your old gun?

    ..likewise for the land of the Red Dragon?Downloaded the suggested pdf's including WML Gen-L09 which is for keeping birds that are injured. Thanks Grim. There certainly are a lot of licences that you can drop yourself in-the-old doodoo's with.

    Sweeeeeeet! Look forward to it.

    Hey Grim, nice one. Could you please do a similar article explaining all the bells and whistles on the scope itself: Including the details for attaching it to the rifle. This would be very helpful to those of us investigating the idea of their first gun. Thanks.

    I'll wait, keep learning and see what happens. Nice pictures though. Thanks for the reply

    Could anyone post any experiences of the Webley Omega .22? There's one for sale on site and I would appreciate any ideas as I am not yet a gun owner. Also, does anyone have any idea what would be a modern equivalent of this rifle as, I believe Webley are not in production any more and this gun goes back to the mid-eighties. Many thanks.

    Thanks for the reply From what I can see on the net, the rifle goes back to at least 1986, with a RRP of £125 at that time. The only problems mentioned so far are between trigger and safety catch with the later potentially not working under certain circumstances and the former being somewhat particular. Apart from that, they sound like well respected rifles with threee interchangeable end-sights, a sling fitting, good scope grooves and a good stock. When did it last have a service? Has it had a new spring?

    Hmmm.....nice looking setup for a beginner perhaps? Will keep any eye on the thread for a week. Has anyone got any particular experience of the Webly Omega? Is the silencer on an air-gun any use? How old is it sax?

    I got as far as the Wildlife Management Branch and the Introduction to Environmental Protection, have you got a link to the above please: I typed it into their search and it came up with 23 documents with obscure titles. Many thanks.

    Lots of good info' in this thread for the would-be air rifle owner. I like the way that you can use your own sense of responsibility. That seems to make....sense. Many thanks.

    Brilliant stuff! I saw mullet up on the Clwyd estuary this summer and with the trout season about to end.........wonder what I might try this winter???

    OMG....."Cyclopterus Lumpus" according to the net. I thought it was from the £ shop!

    Nice link, thanks.

    Could anyone please point me to an authorative list of British birds that can be legally shot or taken from road-kill and used in the dressing of flies. Likewise with our four legged friends. Many thanks. Edit: I just ended up at the BASC site, they have all the relevant information on the quarry and seasons.

    Looks like a bargin! I presume they are made of metal?

    You can eat them! Plus, there are no large fees if you find rivers that meet estuaries that are tidal.

    I started with an 8ft Wychwood rod and an Okuma fixed, skirted spool reel with 8ld line on it for doing some spinning (roughly £50 all in). You can also use this to do a bit of worm trotting - a split-shot or two or a very small weight allowed to bumble along a bit with the current - or, attach a small float if you only need to cast close by. Worms of all sizes can be found under plant pots and just about anywhere you might find composted material such as ........er.........earth. You can pick up fly tackle or other stuff later: A tip about fly fishing: If you think you might like the ide

    A quick hello from North Wales after just skinning my first (very) road-killed squirrel. All being well, I hope to be using the fur for fly tying material. No guns in my armory at present, but I have a nice selection of carbon fiber.
