    I've done it twice now with my .22 rimfire Sako. Cheers

    FOR FOXES hope you are not refering to a .22 rimfire .22 Rimfire is fine for foxes out to about 70 yards if headshot, I have taken plenty this way.... If I was you I would try .22 Subs on a silenced rifle & try getting them into about 50 yards & headshots only. This will keep the noise disturbance to a minimum & if your foxes havent been shot at before getting them in close shouldnt be too dificult as they will be well used to human disturbance on the golf course. Cheers Nessie

    That was a great write-up!!!

    It will depend on what location in NI you live but it could well be up to 6 months, especially considering you are applying for a .22 RF. Any time my FAC has been away it has taken 4-6 months. Even for a shotgun variation it took 6 months & when it came back they didnt even have it marked on my permit. I rang Firearms Branch straght away to ask what to hell had happened to my new Beretta & they informed me that it was an admin error & that I should post back my FAC & it would be fast-tracked, this took 2 MORE MONTHS :-( So 8 months for a O/U shotgun!!! ....Also one of my fr

    Could be up to 6 months, they are very slow. Cheers Nessie

    I have a two year old jill ferret, she worked very well last year & when I went over to get her back she would sometimes jump into her carry box & other times she would come to a dead rabbit & then I would just lift her. This season she has been out about three times, she still hunts good & is bolting plenty of rabbits but getting her back is becoming a nightmare & it is getting worse, now she is not even interested in a dead rabbit most of the time & just jukes down the hole. She is flesh fed & also well handled & would never bite, but its getting to a poin

    Im pretty sure that you can demand a refund or a replacement. They have sold you faulty goods, it would be up to them to send it to Deben. But this shouldnt affect you as they should either offer you a full refund which includes P&P costs or a free replacement....Also dont hold your breath on Deben fixing it, their customer service department is appalling & they will probably try to charge you a fortune for fixing it & then it probably still wont work. Contact your local citizens advice bureau. Cheers Nessie

    It might not be much of a problem this time of year but if you dont cure them properly like you are saying then the blowflies will lay eggs on the skins & the maggots will make it useless. This happened to me before, even though I scraped it clean. I think some sort of curing would be a better idea & would mean the skin could be used for longer. Cheers Nessie

    Mine love it every so often Read your PM mate, I sent u a message a while ago regarding your BEW's

    Hi, Can anyone help me in finding the cheapest place to buy a Mk3M collar? They seem to be all around £60+P&P but I am wondering if any of the members know of somewhere cheaper to purchase them. Cheers Nessie

    I dont think £3 is expensive for a 4" net made from spun poly with peg included, how much do you charge??? As regards to the sliders they seem to purse better for me anyway as I had more ecscape from my old nets with rings, both are fine though, I would use either, id say rings are more common as they are readily available. Anyway longnetter im glad your sales pitch worked but no need to slag off nets just because you didnt make them, lol
  14. nessie122
    Mate, you wont have to look any further than Mick Dadd, I will PM you his number, what he doesnt know about nets isnt worth knowing, I bought twenty 4" purse nets made out of spun poly from Mick, they came with pegs and had a slider at one end to help them purse better. I also bought ten 5" poke nets again made out of spun poly, these have sliders at both ends. The purse nets were £3 each and the poke nets were £4.50. These are great value & will last a lifetime. Cheers Nessie

    I agree with you 100% there mate. I have one of the Mk3M and last year it would work good sometimes then it would mess about at other times. Sent it back to crappy Deben 3 times for them to tell me it had been tested & was ok. Funny enough its working ok at the minute but thats not to say it wont start messing about again.

    Dont want this turning into a discussion about colours not making a difference to the working ability of a ferret, I simply like the look of Black Eyed White ferrets & want to see a few pictures from the members that own BEW. I was asking the question about the working ability because I have read on here that some of the rarer colour mutations were bred for colour & were'nt as good workers, Anyway back to the toipic, out if interest, does anyone have any pictures of their BEW's?
  17. nessie122
    Hi, Does anyone have any pictures of their Black Eyed Whites? im not talking about the light coloured silvers that sometimes get called BEW's - but true BEW's. Also in general do they make good workers? Cheers
  18. nessie122
    Upload a few pictures and let us see them, Cheers
  19. nessie122
    Does anyone have any pictures of extra large ferrets that they have owned? Have these ferrets been worked or were they just too big?

    Hi, Would anyone know of any good links that show how to properly strip down and clean a Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon 3? Cheers

    When I was about your age I got a .22lr. I shot plenty of foxes with it but I have to admit that quite often I watched well hit foxes run off wounded. Before anyone on this forum gets on their high horse to me about shooting foxes with a rimfire I live in Northern Ireland and at that time .22 rimfire was all the police would allow for shooting foxes due to the troubles. However with relative peace now things are much the same as the rest of the UK regarding rifles. I now have a Blaser .22/250. I have shot plenty of foxes with it out to about 250 yards and only once have I had a wound
  22. nessie122
    Yeah, I watched it, they were trapping & dispatching urban foxes & then out with a gamekeeper lamping with a centrefire. Its interesting how the majority of people seem to have changed their opinions on foxes since the recent attack by urban foxes on humans. I wonder if the hunting ban would have got pushed through if these attacks had happened a few year ago?

    Hi, I have seen a few post lately about people experiencing problems with maintaining various types of C/F moderators. I want to find out what maintenance/cleaning procedure I should be using to ensure that my PES moderator on my Blaser .22/250 doesnt start giving problems. I have heard of people spraying WD40 inside moderators but have been a little reluctant to do this. Currently I just leave my mod in a vertical position on the table overnight after using it to let it dry and then wipe the outside with an oily rag. I also give the barrel thread a light coat of gun oil. What routine
  24. nessie122
    1 Mark = Full Choke 2 Mark = 3/4 3 Mark = 1/2 4 Mark = 1/4 5 Mark = Skeet Probably something like 1/4 choke in your first barrel & either 1/2 or 3/4 in the second barrel would cover most situations. If your using steel shot dont use any tighter than 1/2 choke.
  25. nessie122
    Think they are around £225-£250 but cant remember exactly. I had to get mine sent away to get screw-cut as the Blasers have a different thread than most rifles so think I had to pay near £300 all-in.
