  1. Finally got round to upgrading the hutch to a 2 tier. It was the initial plan to build it before I got them, but me being impatient wanted the ferrets it's 4.5ft across by 2.5ft deep and stands just over 4.5ft I'm also thinking of giving them the full run of the shed when I find somewhere to put all the junk Here we are anyway Darryl
  2. Thats what we used to use for pulling the kills out that we couldnt reach.......
  3. In addition to Zini's chart, here's a few numbers that may be useful to people .22 air rifle at a chronoed 11.6ftlbs @ 180 bar with Richter Optiks 3-9 x 50ILR Mildot Zeroed at 30 yds using Crossman Premier pellets Distances measured with tape at 5m intervals 15m - 1 mildot Holdunder 20m - 1 mildot Holdunder 25m - 0.5 mildot Holdunder 30m - 0.0 Zero 35m - 0.5 mildot holdover 40m - 1.5 mildot holdover 45m - 2.5 mildot holdover 50m - 3.0 mildot holdover Please use as a rough guide...all you need to master now is the rangefinding Dar
  4. arent you adding the HW100 into the equation then....lol I'm more or less the same as the others....originally wanted a S410 as you know....but it was out of my price range at the time.... I'm happy with the Superten for now Darryl
  5. If ya still having bother email me them and I'll sort it mate marksman@cfne.co.uk Darryl
  6. Great job mate..... Don't you just love the sound of "thunder"??? Darryl
  7. NIce one mate A good day out! Darryl
  8. I used to use the old "Line ferret" when my old jill used to lay up...... Just to explain in case anyone doesnt know, as far as I know most people used the female ferret to do the work, but in the case of a "lie up" a collar was fitted to a male ferret along with a section of string and he was put down the hole to chase/locate the female No fear of that nowadays! Darryl
  9. Didnt realise we were including work rifles as well mate.....
  10. Given the chance I'd opt for a ghillie every time....... But that could be cos I find Real tree very "Americanised" or having used one in my miltary background and know the tried and tested method works.. But yet again...each to their own! Darryl
  11. Good stuff again mate!! The trouble with Anti's is mate.....they don't understand life!! Darryl
  12. no probs mate just thought I'd ask One of the ones interested is my cuz I put him onto it Darryl
  13. I don't know if you have ferrets mate but my plan of action is to ask for permission for ferreting instead of shooting then if granted get to know the "client" let them see you are trustworthy then bring it up in conversation on one of your visits. I'm yet to put it into practice but it can't hurt, just means a bit of a longer wait than asking straight out to use a gun good luck all the same Darryl
  14. Good luck mate. I hope the scopes do you justice when put into practice in the field as that's where it counts for a clean kill. Lets know how you get on Darryl
  15. Try advertising them in the optics section mate. You might have more luck Darryl
  16. Interested in the gun bag mate. Did it sell?? Also what was the width?? Darryl
  17. Don't suppose you fancy selling me the spare mag separately please mate?? Cheers Darryl
  18. Not really mate.... Just my jills wont eat off the bone.... I've tried twice with 2 fresh rabbits, left them in for 2 days but had to take them out as the meat was untouched Puzzling!! DArryl I have a jill who's just the same, she would rather die than eat meat, give her dry and she's happy as a pig Cant understand it though mate..... I got them off Festa who fed them rabbit, now I'm feeding them on petshop mince, but they will eat rabbit if I chop it up for them. Got me stumped Darryl
  19. Nice one mate.... Thats round about the age I started and was totally hooked..... 28 years later still going strong Darryl
