    Christ thats a bargain, nearly half the new price. Ive the same model and paid a fortune for it new.

    "both guns are .20 cal" is what he said, so i suspect they are both .20. Interesting though that they did 3 barrels for the fox though, i didnt know that.

    These will be snapped up lightning quick at those prices. As a comparison I paid £700 for a just a .20 theoben 12 a few months back and that was without the bipod, extra mag and extra stock!!!

    I still lamp simply because i cant afford NV!

    Im RH and left eye dominant. There are several ways around it. Stick a bit of tape on the LH lense of some glasses, or you can buy truglo sights which are supposed to make the RH side of the sight stand out more, or do like I do and thats to sqwint or close my left eye when im using the shotgun. You can keep both eyes open when walking about to spot the target, then as soon as you start to bring your gun up, close your left eye, which means your right eye will pick it up and you`ll be on target. I do a lot of clays / sporting and it works for me!

    Not bad at all for a night out! Good going!

    When I bought an HW100 silencer, the shop asked me if i wanted .177 or .22, so id expect that they do them in both calibres.

    Its dead easy to just remove the side panel which has the indexing mechanism in it. Its 4 or 6 small allen bolts from what I remember. Theres a bit of metal inside which slides up & down as you bring the bolt back. Id start by removing this, then seeing if the bolt works fine. If so, it will help narrow the problem down. In general, the s410 is a dead easy gun to work on. You just need a couple of allen keys to strip it right down.

    the apologists have started...... Not at all, if hes guilty of something then he should be punished.

    From the news reports sounds like he wasnt a kiddy fiddler, but it was some old historical offense or something. Until all the facts come out we wont know, but sounds like it was probably some sort of benny hill type bit of groping or whatever everyone seemed to do back in the 70`s & `s.

    Id probably start off looking at a lanber sporter multichoke for that sort of money, but its really down to what feels good to you when you try them for fit.

    I think it might just take a few weeks before you get used to it. Even though its the same measurements as your old gun, its a different gun still. Ive quite a few guns and sometimes I find I cant hit a barn door with the same gun I was shooting 47/50 with the previous week. So I pick up one of my other guns and im fine. Its a strange thing, I used to get the same problem when I played snooker or pool. Some days I couldnt pot a thing, so it just use another one of my cues and id be fine. Either way, its still really infuriating.

    Any gun will do what you want, except maybe a single barrel shotgun. I use 2 main guns for clays & game. First is a Beretta al391 semi auto, the other is a £60 Spanish sbs. So that really goes to show one extreme to the other and both are as good as each other in my hands. The current "fashion" for clay guns is o/u`s. Ive had a few and still have a lovely lanber o/u. But really its just a case of trying a few out and finding out what you get on well with. Sure, if you buy a bigger brand name, it will hold its value better, but dont feel you have to fork out a fortune for a gun.

    rabbit flavour, that will be horse then :laugh: more than likely! Still the cat seems to enjoy it.

    Hills pump is good. Ive got an FX 3 stage pump which I use and its really good. I think i paid about 120 for mine new.

    Ive got a s410 in .22 ive had for years. Shot dozens of rabbits with it. Ive quite a long garden (50 yards) so what I do is chuck empty beer cans on the lawn at random distances, then practise hitting them in the centre of the base - that soon teaches you how much hold over / under you need. I can hit a 2p sized target, pellet on pellet out to 45 yards easily. Its such a cracking gun. Rebuilt it last year, refinished the stock and fitted a full new seal set. I also fitted a regulator inside it. Havent had chance yet to do a full shot test from a full fill, but initial tests showed it putti

    A lot of cats love catching rabbits around my way and I very often see one cat or another dragging a bunny along behind them. Im presuming if they are going to all that hassle of dragging the rabbit off somewhere they must eat it raw? Still, the felix stuff I give my cat, i noticed one of them is rabbit flavour, so maybe I should start chopping up bunnies instead for them and save myself some cash.

    Just what I was thinking. I remember paying about ->90quid for 1000 not so long ago. I used to get through about 250 every weekend on the clays back in them days. Havent bought any for ages, so im dreading what they cost now as it looks like they have gone up more than gold has recently.
  19. jackinbox99
    This is a right bargain. They are £599 brand new and normally they seem to be about £450 upwards 2nd hand for the mossberg one. Ive already got one - i bought brand new unfortunately, otherwise id be snapping this up.

    Ive a few .410`s and 12bores and find that you have to be a pretty good shot with a .410 to hit the target as the pattern is a lot smaller. The recoil is hardly anything on them, so ideal for youngsters, but it may put them off if they keep missing things they would probably hit if they were using a 20 or a 12 bore.

    Personally I wouldnt bother. Ive changed my cabinet several times and moved it to another location in the house without telling them. FEO never once looked at it or checked it.
  22. jackinbox99
    For my first one, it arrived about 10 days after the onsite visit. For all my renewals, the FEO just brought the new cert with him and handed it straight to me after the renewal chat. Although for some areas now, its apparently just a phone call renewal instead of an onsite!
  23. jackinbox99
    I wouldnt do that incase someone nicked my car, then they will know my address and what guns ive got. I would keep a photocopy on me though if im out in the field. As others have said, may help if any problems arise - although around my away nearly everyone has guns and is out in fields at night.

    At about 25ft/lb a .22 will have the same tradjectory as a 12ft/lb .177 So thats a good power to aim at. Id be lookin at the rapid or the s410. The rapid will have more shots as its got a bigger resoviour on it.

    Its on page 4 or 5 of the for sale if you scroll back a few pages. He wanted £600 for it, but it incl tank, scope, bag, pellets, the whole kit.
