    well, me n wor kid decided to try out the new permission tonight. Its a place I frequently stay when Im on my travels and always notice a big number of rabbits and a lot of destruction so on Tuesday I approached the gardener and asked what my chances were of having a go at reducing the numbers. His reply was...."you've got no chance....They never let anyone on here!!....but you can ask....." So ask I did, in my best diplomatic voice...... The manager/owner was over the moon that it was FREE and immediately gave us permission to both shoot and ferret! Anyway, I text him tonight to le

    The place itself is riddled with rabbits, so much so they have a warrens everywhere including right down the side of his house and they aren't people shy as when walking around you can easily get within 20yds and that's in daylight! There are a few with mixy that will be the first to go but we'll have to see what happens on Friday night Darryl

    Not trying to sound daft here but have you tried going down range (safely) while someone else fires your rifle?? The rifle will always sound louder to the shooter with the head being so close to the action. Darryl

    Bump!

    would a glob of weld not do anything mate and then filed down?? Darryl

    spot on mate.... they must've heard on the grapevine that you were coming and decided to saty in for the night! Darryl

    very nice mate, but as much as you want to try not to go overboard on it and you may find you'll be shooting at thin air if you dont! Darryl

    Nice bag there mate....that'll make some nice grub!! Darryl

    cracking shooting.... I'm fascinated at the POI at the different ranges...theyre all on the centre dot, no holdover/under needed! Darryl

    sounds good Bill I hope it's all you expect when you get it back Darryl

    Nice mate, Not a criticism but why shoot them so close?? Unless they were that close when you were scanning Darryl

    Wor kid had a prosport when we first started going out with Si at Catterick & before he "went PCP". Taking bunnys out at 45m+ absolutely brilliant rifle and would get a recommendation from both me and him Darryl

    Nice one, at least you're sorted! It's probably an FX one mate, wor kid has one on his at the moment but you cant get a Twink on with it due to the length. If you change your mind drop me a message mate Darryl

    Best thing is to get down there before it gets dark and have a look at the lay of the land.... Where the runs are, the holes, toilet areas and maybe lay a little bait.... Depending on how clued up the rats are..(theyre clever!!) Will depend on how you need to go about it. They may scatter when they see a lamp as they know a lamp means danger, yet again if its not been touched you might find youll be ok. You might need to rezero to a closer range too depending on how much room you have Use a dim light with a red filter and hope for the best!!! One more thing take something to pick t

    Cheers for the comments lads.... They're much appreciated! Cheers for the kind words Simon, we'll have to arrange something between us so we can pop down and visit you sometime as you're only "just down the road" If any of you guys fancy a shoot with us you're more than welcome Darryl

    No probs Chaz...... I'll make you a weaker one for next time mate..... I'll order the hoody too Darryl

    Expectation is 130+ shots in .22 mate I've not got a carbine to test it on but others using the same have had an average of double the shot count of the standard cylinder Darryl
  21. Marksman
    No because these are quickfill and dont need to be removed once fitted, unlike the mk1 where the cylinder needed to be removed for filling Darryl

    They need a few layers of dubbin mate, the waterproofing is all but gone on them now.... 3 years old too, not bad for a £20 pair of boots from the factory shop....still got a lot more left in them yet.... Darryl

    Definately 100% providing it doesn't fall on a date where I've a pre-booked wedding Darryl

    Tested the standard size yesterday in .177 and on a full 200bar charge we returned 153 useable shots using AAF 8.4gr before any POI shift so is estimate it at being around the 120-130 mark Darryl

    That's my foot mate and its a big old size 9....... Me n Gary were taking turns with my rifle & nv whilst his is at Adis getting some work done. Darryl
