Iv'e no pratical experience with lurchers but i do with greyhounds as i work part time at a kennels. Iv'e found this thread really interesting as im very interested in the lurcher game and have often wondered how greyhounds would fair. Just one thing i would like to add, anyone that considers getting one for working to do plenty of road work with it first to toughen its feet up because many are not road walked much while kenneled and have very soft pads. My uncles greyhound when retired got a corn in its middle toe and had to have it removed. Sure all you lads with greyhounds already knew

Im the same. I do a fair bit of shooting, read as many lurcher books as i can because im mad on them but cant get a dog yet as im of to uni soon. I just like reading the posts and learning, thats whats great about this site. Thought about asking if anyone would be kind enough to take me out with their dogs or ferreting but like i said my life is a bit busy at the moment, but i did meet a bloke at the CLA game fair who gave me his number and said he would take me out so i might just have some thing to post about in a few months time.

whats the grooves under mine (s410 tdr ) ? if it's for a bipob it must be a certain type of bi pod , if so where do i get 1 ? doesnt the theoben s-type come with a similar mounting rail? I think they have special attachments for the bi-pods that enables them to be fitted to the rail. I havnt a clue where you could get one from though.

A great gun the S410 Just bought a harris bi-pod for mine and it has improved my accuracy no end for rabbit shooting. The gun gives you alot of confidence in your shooting ability, which i think is very important factor when in the field.

thanks for the positive response Its a great rifle, got mine in .22 carbine with a 3-12x44 Hawke Varmint scope. Only wish i had got it in .177 having heard so much about the smaller callibre. But sayin that its a great all purpose virmin gun, capable of close range ratting or long range bunny bashing.

hi everyone I have been on this great site a few times now and have finally decided to join. I mainly shoot with my AA S410 but also used to do a bit of ferreting with my mate. I am really interested in lurchers but cannot commit to getting one at the moment. Hope to learn more about all forms of hunting from this site Ben
