    hi hunter, sorry for the late reply, went out again last night. Had 22 rabbits in hereford. Saw 2 foxes but only had the .22lr. i'm using a Browning A-Bolt .223 with 50g norma. Got a pvs 14 mounted on the back with a night master 800 on top. i spot with a fst thermal scope. Expensive setup but I'm in the marines so I've signed out the nv and thermal for free from the store lol. Strange to miss a fox at 100y the 22.250 flies pretty flat aswel and wind won't affect the round that much at 100. that being said I've missed a few in my time lol. The caller is western rivers, think my mate payed

    So i borrowed my mate's western rivers caller to try it out last night. Never really used one so i wanted to try it out before i get an electric caller. After sitting in one spot for 1 1/2 hours and necking a litre of coffee, the tricky vixen I've been after showed up. Spotted her through the thermal and she decided to sit on a bank behind a load of trees giving me no clear shot. She sat there for 10 minutes after i lowered the volume without moving. Finally i changed the call, whacked the volume up and she came flying into the caller which was at 100 yards. She wouldn't stop moving and was s

    I'm away from home at the moment so pics to follow. Im selling my AAs410 superlite as i only really shoot firearms now. Also my clutch has gone on the BMW, so i need the extra cash. It comes with a swivel bipod, silencer, hawke 3x9x40, 1 mag, Leather woven sling, a hard case and a 3ltr divers bottle. I an looking for £700 ono. I'm not to happy about selling it as its a cracking little gun and as you all know the S410 is a pleasure to shoot, that being said, needs must and she has to go to a new home, Cheers Lads, Serious offers only please, Rifleman.

    Alrite Guys, Is anyone interested in purchasing any of theses diy gongs? 12" by 10mm. Ive tested it with 17hmr at 100 yards .22lr at 60. .223 at 200yards. The targets hold up well. I wouldn't go any closer than 150/200 yards with the .223 though as i think eventually the rounds would punch through. Ive been using them for the past month and their much more fun than paper. You don't have to walk down range to see when you've hit as is swings and make a very satisfying "DING". The beauty of them is that they are reusable targets. I just carry a small can of white hamerite spray and w

    Nice work, sorry I've been a while getting back as I've been away, if your that close we should have a meet and shoot.

    About an hour apart, squeaking wasn't bringing them in but the dying lamb call had the vixen running in, I shot her around 10 o'clock then after dragging her to my makeshift hide I switched to the vixen call. Dog fox ran along the same path I dragged her along about 30 mins later.

    Farmers chuffed, I'm going to have a look for the Cubs tonight. It's military NVG from work

    Three Lambs gone in a week, got a phone call yesterday to try and help out. Went to the land in the day time to range everything then zeroed the 223 for 200 yards. Shot vixen first at 240 yards and the Dog was around 220. Used a dying lamb call and tried squeaking but wouldn't come any further in.
  12. Rifleman88
    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'll wait until I've slung a bit more lead down range before I'm concerned. Accuracy is bang on though. Another quick one, any tips on cleaning the whisper?
  13. Rifleman88
    Sportsman didn't have eleys in which were my first choice, but the Winnies don't feed smooth, also I have to rip the bolt back to make sure the brass extracts, is this normal for an Annie? My .223 slings the brass about 2 foot when I cock it
  14. Rifleman88
    yep whisper fitted, had 12 bunnies lastnite. the winchesters aren't the best in it though, feels rough when its feeding.
  15. Rifleman88
    Just been out and zeroed for 60 yards, baffling accuracy! going out for a mooch now, taking the .223 too incase mr fox is about. i'll post tomorrow with a pic of my hopefully big bag
  16. Rifleman88
    here she is, the whisper fitted. mtc mamba on top. yet to shoot it but she looks good. The Mrs is jealous
  17. Rifleman88
    cheers guys, confirmed what i was thinking. I've heard good things about the whisper and i like the look but i didn't splash out on a t/h stock to cut it down. I was thinking about the cz 455 t/h which looks pretty but i was afraid i would regret not buying the anschutz As for glass I'm thinking maybe a hawk sidewinder or mtc viper as i need the parallax option, even if the mag is a bit overkill.
  18. Rifleman88
    i'd like to keep it short for passing around in the land rover without muzzling my mate, also for walking through woods ect,
  19. Rifleman88
    So its my birthday wednesday and I've plucked up the courage to splash out on a brand new .22lr. Anschutz 1417 thumbhole. £800!!!!! disgusting feeling, forking out that much for a 22 rimfire i know, but i wanted a gun that will continue to produce the goods for years, also its a very good looking gun. What are your thoughts on glass that would do the gun justice? (needs to have a parallax for my nv monocle) don't want to just throw a nasty scope on her. Also is there any way of getting a wildcat whisper on it? as its got a 14 inch barrel I've heard the whisper won't fit as it hits the st
  20. Rifleman88
    The stock was snapped as the previous owner pulled the trigger with the barrel broke. I've bolted it together, re blued it and refinished it but I'm no pro. as for the grouping I've not fired a springer/ gas ram since i was a kid so i can only compare it to my s410, obviously shoots bigger groups but again it may be down to my springer shooting technique, I've no doubt a springer veteran could tighten the group up. Need the money for a new .22lr so I'm selling everything lol.
  21. Rifleman88
    Hiya guys, I'm trying to sell my latest restore. What would be a reasonable asking price? I'm thinking £175? comes with a brand new richter optics scope (40 quid) Cheers Lads, Rifleman.
  22. Rifleman88
    petzl, led lenser, black diamond any head torch with one of those names on it.
  23. Rifleman88
    Im looking for a rail for my 1417 for the same reasons, got a thermal scope from work that i use for spotting but id love to have it mounted as a scope. anyone know if anywhere makes rails for a 1417?
  24. Rifleman88
    keep the scorpion, love the s10, swap the stealth

    .22 shooters aim off more for distance but .177 shooters aim off more for wind. I think it takes more skill to aim off for wind than it does for distance as distance is a constant, however wind(especially in s wales) is ever changing. It could be argued that .177 is a harder calibre to get consistant shot placement than a .22 on any given day. .22 forgives shot placement due to wind, .177 forgives misjudged distance.
