  1. Better to stretch your budget on glass. You need the detail when you have to put 50 rounds in succession in a 3/4" ring at 50yds to get your basic qualification at UKBR22 . . . Ric Edited to add: as suggested buy a box apiece of all the different makes of ammo you can, find out which one your gun likes and stick to it. Buy your maximum allowance every time, making sure they are all from the same batch.
  2. If you want to shoot target and field it must be .22lr. There is no shooting discipline for magnum rimfires. If you need to use the same gun for both it should be bolt-action. How important is target shooting to you? By far the best actions for accuracy are Anschutz, but they are by-our-lady expensive! On your limited budget I'd go for a tidy 2/hand CZ and a good 8x56 scope. ATB, Ric
  3. You are all being very rude. If the lass wants to grow a beard we should encourage her. Whoops, sorry chap or chapess . . .

    Bees

    Mason bees are very docile and only sting if squeezed. Let them alone and they'll let you alone!

    OUR governing bodied are fecking clever... they suggested bringing back the wolve to help control the reds on scotland, of course its only 'RED' deer the wolves will hunt, not sheep, cattle and dare i say human There are people who want to reintroduce lynx. Ooh-er! Real big cats lurking around the lochs!
  6. In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed. They produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland for five hundred years they had democracy, brotherly love and peace. They gave us the cuckoo clock, cheese with holes in it and triangular chocolate.
  7. The serious target guys can buy 10,000 hold 11,000! Need a load from the same batch for consistency, and they can put 2-300 downrange in a day no sweat.
  8. Great marksmanship needed to kill a fox in a trap! They are trying to make out there are shooters wandering around with rifles.
  9. The men cited in this case are not "Pakis". They are Iranian. Not all Muslims are Pakistani. Remember Islam is of North African origin, like Christianity and Judaism. Many of the immigrant population from the Indian sub-continent are Hindu and there is as much prejudice between Hindus and Muslims as between Protestants and Catholics in Ulster during the Troubles.
  10. I got a new tat yesterday. Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin next.
  11. Osteopaths are properly trained and registered. Chiropractors . . .
  12. That would make sence TBH, but if a man chooses to cull then it should be done properly and only a coward would leave a dogs death to chance IMO. I am 100% with you there. Like I said I'm not defending the scumbag/s who did this but I reckon they were stupid shits not mad sadistic slavering bloody-handed killers. Funny cause from where I'm sitting that's exactly what your doing. There is no justification for this type of cruelty It was that "shot 40 times" that got me going. I guess I'm peed off with red-tops. What next? Shock horror grouse shot 40 times?
  13. I can't claim to know. Perhaps shit-fer-brains just dumped the poor brute. Like I said, I don't defend what happened but it ain't that simple

  15. Oh FFS. Do any of you guys know anything about guns at all? The dog was shot ONCE. With a SHOTGUN. Can't you recognise tabloid shitstirring when you see it? The poor brute was likely out cold and looked dead. I'm NOT defending what was done but some people need a reality check.
  16. Do bog wogs listen to coon tunes?
  17. I think there may be some confusion here. A closed ticket is one which restricts the holder to shooting on land which has been passed by the police for the calibre. An open ticket is one which allows the shooter to decide whether it is safe to use a given calibre. You must always have the landholders permission. If you have asked the police to open your ticket they probably think you're a cheeky git asking for an open FAC with comparatively little experience!
  18. We have been getting a lot of enquiries about the "best" barrel length for .22lr lately. I have done my research so here goes. The powder charge in a .22 subsonic is consumed in 10" of barrel. I once had a .22 Walther target pistol with an 8" barrel and it had a little bit of kick and flash, but a 10" barrel shoots dead flat. Leave a bit of margin for error and a 12" barrel is all you need. Rimfire Magic sell a 12.5" carbon fibre barrel which seems ideal. Legal minimum is 12" so you can get it recrowned if need be and still be legal. But! Supersonics need more barrel to burn the charge
  19. The whole plan is headed for the bin. There is to be a single central control HQ, and all stations will be open 24/7. There may be one or two closures, but basically it's "as you were". FFS, it would have saved less than £20m in the life of this government. It was a Labour idea in the first place. Puts you and me between a rock and a hard place eh Malt.
  20. One of those dodgy scrapyards that rebuild 2-into-1 write-offs.
  21. Seems like justice and mercy are both served here. Djemjanjuk was guilty of murder. We can show him the mercy that he didn't show his victims. Let him die in his time.
