    Nice one, Shay!! I was going to ask you if you'd tried .20 but you've just said.... I'm a big fan of .20, it's got a lot going for it IMHO. Cheers.

    Nice one, fella!! I'm enjoying a new shoot too, still getting to know it. One of these days I'll get round to doing a report....... Cheers.

    Nice one, Mark, didn't know that. Guess they may have had a little extra range time after all then!! Cheers.

    A 'special needs' cop dog... :crazy:

    Yup!! And an Aston Virage, wide boddied, 7l conversion, not the twin turbo'd hand grenade... Last of the proper Aston's IMHO.

    I've always washed my shooting gear on a rinse wash with no powder or anything, just water. Anyway, I have a theory about pigeons.... They do not exist in our reality. They come in to being randomly from an alternate universe. The reason I've arrived at this is 'cos of the amount of times I've been kreeping, stalking, hideing whatever in a wood, skaning all the trees ever so carefuly and then all of a sudden, from nowhere, a pigeon suddenly flaps into our reality and scares all the feckin' bunnies for miles. BAS*ARDS!! I swear they're working together, in league with the De

    Hi, mate. You'll need a licence for any type of gun where you are, Hunter. Not really a good idea to ask for loop holes on a public forum, mate, don't know who's watching.... Give us an idea as to how much you want to spend, then maybe someone can help. Cheers.

    I know Big Daddys brother. Top bloke, used to promote wrestling and boxing way back when....

    I think they'd be doing well to fire those, they must've been 60 years old!!

    Another slant on how inconsistant the law is... A couple of years ago, my uncle died. When we cleared out his stuff, we found about a dozen 9mm pistol rounds. Must've been left over from his national service days 'cos he was a dead straight bloke. Anyway, I took them down to my local nick expecting to get the third degree at the very least. Explained what I'd got to the desk bobby, then was asked to wait, which I did for about half an hour. I was getting a little pissed off and feeling uncomfortable waiting with a pocket full of live bullets so I grabbed the next cop that walked pa

    I'll admit I'm a few years out of touch on this but..... As an RFD with an import licence, it's VERY unlikely that guns will be checked upon entry to the UK. As a private individual however, it's luck of the draw. Buyer beware and all that.... Best not take the risk, very bad idea and not something you'd want to mess with. Cheers... Edit.... Phantom's right. Once an airgun's been FAC rated in the UK, that's it. Even if you take it back down, in the eyes of the law it's always FAC...

    Hope it comes good for you, Steve. I know how you feel being skint and having to sell stuff. I'm setting up a new buisiness at the moment and it's takeing longer to get going than I'd hoped. Sold all kinds of stuff this past few months and it's looking like most of my guns will have to go soon. BOLLOX!!! We'll get there, fella..... Cheers.

    Hi, mate. Mine shoots best with H and N FTT's and Logun Penetrators. It shoots well with the AA's but those have the edge in mine. Cheers.

    I really hope Couture ties that arrogant gob-shite up in knots. Good enough boxer, fair do's but what a tosser of a man. hope so too andy, although id prefer him to just retire. I know what you mean, mate, he's had more come backs than Status Quo. That said, he's probably still as good now as he ever was, an ispiration to all us old buggers!!

    To answer your question though, no, it's not worth it for a few extra ft.lb's. I had a .22 RWS52 a long time ago that gave 32 and TBH when I dropped the FAC and went back to sub 12ft'lb's in .177 there's probably only 1 in 5 shots I wouldn't take on. If you're going for an FAC, go for rim fire. Far more useful for all the extra grief. Cheers.

    I'll probably get shot down for saying this, sooooooo..... for a few years dureing the late 's one of the main official importers of HW guns wern't too fussy about complying to UK laws and in spite of them claiming to be 'UK spec' if you chronoed them, they were all aound 14-16 ft.lb's, depending on model.... Cheers........

    Fair comment, AFT, I was half expecting the ref to stop the fight 'cos Brock just curled up and seemed to give up. Carwin's not really been tested for endurance before and he was proper fecked after putting some proper work in. Seemed dead on his feet when the second round started... Still, respect to Brock for coming back after that battering.

    Mine. Reflects my mood most of the time.......

    Have a good one, Tony!! All the best, mate... Cheers!!!!!!

    Ebay's not bad for stuff like that, mate, but many seller's don't state the size of the barrel they're ment for so make sure you know you're getting the right size for your own gun. As Tony's said, some of the cheaper one's can rattle around a bit but a little grease soon cures that. Cheers.

    Hi, Ron. I've used one of their 2-7x32's for the last couple of years or so and I'm really pleased with it. It's basic (like me...) but I like that. Very clear optics for the price too. The only thing I'm not too pleased about is the IR is a little too bright. Cheers.

    I agree with you 100%, Si, if you can place your shots well it really doesn't matter what caliber is used. However, I don't have a lazer range finder, mostly stalk in fairly open ground and many times in low light when it's even harder to judge range well. I started with .22 nearly 30 years ago as that was 'the hunting caliber', aparently. Started useing .177 about 20 years back as a practice round 'cos the pellets were cheaper and soon found out how much easier it was to place shots in the field. I went back to .22 last year with my AA410c but after years of shooting the smaller

    It's bigger so it must be better.... I mainly use .20 though so maybe I'm in denial or something..... :crazy: Cheers.
