    Thanks for the replies and advice lads John Too true. Don't really want to fork out for an alarm system anyway, but was told by the firearms department that because the garage is classed as an out building (although attached to my bungalow) I would need need an alarm thats connected to the house The problem I've got is, we have only recently moved in, and all the walls don't feel solid enough. When you tap them they feel hollow, like there's chipboard behind, and who knows what size gap before the actual outer wall. And definitely don't feel strong enough to hold a metal cab

    Hi all After recently trying to decide where to place my gun cabinet after moving to Norfolk, I am now thinking of putting it in my garage. Not the best place I know, but due to Circumstances, I think that it will be the best option. I have been in touch with the police, and they said that the garage option is fine, although I will need to get an alarm fitted that is also connected up to my bungalow. My question is, will I need any specific type of alarm for this purpose, or will anything do? Any suggestions of suitable alarms or info regarding this query will be greatly appreciated, J

    Hi all I have recently moved house, and have also just realised that my shotgun and FAC certs are up for renewal. I was therefore just wondering about the referees. Do I have to get 2 referees for my FAC form and only one for my shotgun? and if I do, can I use one of the 2 referees from my FAC to use also on my shotgun application. I have also heard that if I have both my shotgun and FAC renewed at the same time, I will then only need to have 2 referees for both guns, and will only need to fill in one form for both weapons, Is this the case? Regards, John

    Hi all I have recently moved to Norfolk into a bungalow, and my .22 rimfire and shotgun are currently in storage at the local gun shop. I was just wondering what the rules are regarding gun cabinet placement. The problem I have is, until now, I have always put my gun cabinets under the stairs hidden away bolted to an outside wall. Where as now, in a bungalow, there is no under the stairs at all. My other half is also none to keen in having a metal cabinet stuck in one of our 2 recently decorated bedrooms, and to be honest, there is not really any room for it anyway. My query is, would I be

    Hi all I was thinking of investing in the above camera to fit on my HW100s, for when I go down to the stables to do a spot of bunny bashing. As I know absolutely nothing about the Shot Trak Camera, I Was just wondering if any of you guys have any experience with the camera and could give me some advice. I have never fitted any kind of camera or recording equipment to any of my guns, but from what I have seen, this unit seems to be the most simple and less bulky than most. Any advice wil be greatly appreciated, John http://www.atncorp.com/smart-hd-gun-camera

    177 with the sporter stock. Personally, I just didn't like the feel of the thumbhole model. It just didn't feel solid enough for me, John

    HW100 for me all day long I bought mine about 2 years ago in .177 and I definitely won't be going back to .22 Flatter shooting, and more accurate (For me anyway) John

    Hi all I have owned a .22 CZ Varmint Rimfire now for about eight years, and after the initial bullet testing of different brands, I opted for the old, blue box Winchester subs as my regular brand as they were very accurate and grouped well. However, I have always wanted to try Eley subs, but just can't seem to find any supplier in my local area that stocks them. Another reason I want to try the Eleys is that, Since the Winchester brand has changed from the old blue to the black box, I have also noticed a drop in consistency, especially where accuracy is concerned. I was just wondering if yo

    Hi all Due to work and other commitments, I haven't been out with my HW100s for about 6 weeks. So earlier today (Sunday) with a couple of hours to spare, I set off to one of my permissions to do a spot of bunny bashing. After the initial Zero check, I placed myself in the edge of a paddock that sometimes provides a few rabbits, and waited. Nearly 3 hours went by and nothing, no sign of life at all. As darkness was almost with me, I decided to stay for another 10 minutes, and boy am I glad I did. Bunny number 1 suddenly ran out at a distance of about 35 yards straight in front of me,

    Hi VWman Another vote for the Hawke here. I swapped an old 1960's Webley air pistol for this Hawke 600 pro solar, and over the last couple of years I can not fault it. Excellent piece of kit, John

    My HW100s has been stored with air in the bottle for weeks at a time between outings for the past year and a half with no problems to date, John

    Hi all As I'm quite a newbie to the PCP world, I have a question regarding my HW100s .177 Basically, I have the gun zeroed at 35 yards, and the rifle is only used out in the field for bunny bashing. What I have noticed is that, when I arrive at my zeroing tree, 9/10 times the zero has slightly shifted. Not by much, say half inch or less to the left or right. The grouping of the pellets however stay pretty tight. I always aim at a one inch spinner 35 yards away, and won't start hunting until I am confident of hitting the spinner at least 4 out of 5 times. Could the slight loss in zero be du

    Thanks for the replies lads. I was just curious, as I also seem to have read somewhere that, If left cocked for a long period of time, the hammer spring is put under a lot more pressure, which in turn can shorten it's life, John

    Hi all I was just wondering if there could be any side effects to leaving the HW100 cocked for longer periods of time. Like when you are stalking rabbits out in the field and you never know if anything is going to show or not. As I'm quite new to the PCP scene, I was wondering that when left cocked, could the pressure in the in the rifles air chamber cause the seals to wear out much quicker, and therefore leading to more regular servicing/repairs etc. And if this is the case, presumably it would be better to cock the rifle nearer to when taking that all important shot, If possible t

    Hi all I have recently noticed that Winchester are advertising a new .22 42 grain subsonic bullet, rather than the old tried and tested 40 grain (my usual brand) I was just wondering if any of you guys have tried the new 42 grain bullets, and if you have, could let me know your opinions. Also, are these new line of 42 grain bullets due to replace the old 40 grainers or is this just a new line being introduced. I am due to stock up now with some more ammo, so any opinions will be greatly alpreciated, John
