    My first wife came from Tonypandy in the Rhondda Daz. We had some lovely holidays touring the South Welsh coast.

    That's a great avatar Archie! You seem to have more willing ladies than pairs of socks! I know what I'd rather have. RegaRDS. sIMON

    What a beautiful animal. Daz that was a lovely thing to read. I know exactly what you mean. I had a similar epiphany moment years ago and the wonderful wildlife and those scents and smells from the fields we are privelledged to see and sense when we are about our permissions makes this an amazing sport to be a part of. all the more for it. There was a family of foxes on my permission some years ago that I saw often. For some reason I didn't want to open fire on them anymore but, I had the idea of seeing if I could nurture them to appear in safety more often and would leave a few headsh

    Hope you are alright Mary, despite being 75 quid light for a new windscreen. No doubt another sample offspring of some moronic scum of mother who'd say "It's got nuthin' to do wi' me!!" if they caught him. Regards to you and Mike. Simon PS. New S200? How many guns have you got now???!!

    That is very kind of you to say Mawders. I'd be delighted to meet you with Miles too. The best of shooting to both you gentlemen.! DavidTQ Welcome to the section. No amount of shooting insurance will save you from arrest if the police should happen to find reason to have your rifle tested in their forensic lab and their pellet is proven to take your rifle over the 12ft/lb limit. To be absolutely certain, get your rifle chronographed with several pellet weights of its calibre. Bit cheeky to ask you to spend money on pellets or wotnot to get a chrono done. It's in your gunshop's inte

    Get out and shoot with it Luke and tell us mate! ATB Simon

    Nice one Stuart. Well done. Now keep us informed how you get on shooting over it! Regards. Simon

    Dear Miles You appear to be revealing some deeply-hidden hurt or wounds in your soul I think here my friend. Something very bad, done to you in the past ....?? You have a very sensitive self-protection instinct that seems to have been heightened by something, perhaps events in your life?. Forgive me if I'm wrong but, your use of the word Invaded,. sounds like someone accustomed to siege-mentality. You do, however live a life that will seem strange and probably ferral to more than a few townsfolk and that will make you a target for suspitious minds unable to grasp why you choose live t

    Great post Michael! Just shows how well a top quality spring rifle will deliver . Great shooting. I remember the Diana Firebird as a quite good looking, refined air rifle. You had a real beauty in the loft all the time!!! Ditch the Gamo. Cheap guns + cheap quality = poor performance. All the best. Simon

    Welcome to the section Countrysidelass. I'll second Tony's suggestion of the Air Arms S200 rifle for a lady. Around £200-£300 will buy a very good second hand S200, possibly with a good scope included. Do not look for cheap as chips bargains with these. There will invariably be a problem with it. This is a lightweight, Pre-Charged Pneumatic air rifle that needs to be filled or charged with compressed air from a diver's air tank via a hose and connection (unlike a heavier, spring air rifle which draws its compressed air by a spring and piston when you cock it) . So you will need to

    Miles that is to your credit as a good and decent-thinking, intelligent man that you take my point of view as I respectfully take yours. I've come to honestly enjoy and agree with much you write on shooting. Thank you mate. But this particular view of authority you have, I think , has been born from bad experience, probably in the Army, of you being abused and ill-treated by it. I've had more than my fair share in the past too, as have many before and since. But I got smart and rose up the ranks and did something very positively to put a stop to such abuses of rank and power on any of my j

    Well I've reviewed the vid and the conclusion I have, is as before. Possibly worse but, I remain with my original sumation of the dude in the mask and gigs. Miles I want to see more of your usual interesting posts on shooting and countryman's way of life. That's what this forum is all about and you are a great contributing force in it. Not your other side of anti-establishment power-to-the-people bullshit. You clearly have an axe to grind with those who have held sway over you in the past. They may have had a chip on each shoulder. Nobody told you to act in the same way. You really

    Mister Mole Sir you were very lucky. Because either they must have been asleep. Or Traffic officers can only see out of a bloody car window! Richard I agree with you. As I said elswhere before, I grew up almost from birth, on shooting in an age when you could walk openly around a rural village with a 12-bore over your arm and stop off at the pub with it. I went shooting with my Dad countless times and the whole shoot's guns would be propped up against the walls while we drank pints. Well, Dandylion and Burdock in my case. Nobody batted an eyelid. It was part and parcel of country life

    Miles I served 12 years in the RAF Regiment as a senior NCO. If anyone gave me half a mouthful of what your hooded Guru states, I'd have had him arse upwards into a vehicle and off for a chat over a bun and tea! Anyway, in the interest of ballanced discussion, I'll give it another, open minded viewing. Cos I loves ya. Simon
  15. pianoman
    Richard. Why else would you go out with your encased rifle, if not to take it to your permission? Common sense you know mate! Somebody clearly saw Darryl and this guy doing an exchange of what clearly appeared as firearms in a public car park. Maybe one or more guns were uncased, or removed from their cases. Whatever, it was seen and someone a bit on the paranoid side hit the panic button. And brought the cavalry to Darryl's door. Moral of this story. Do not take your rifle, cased or not, to anywhere where the untutored public will see it and panic. Keep it to Home and Permission

    No, no no Miles this is just a prick in a disguise showing you how to be bloody obstructive. I will NOT subscribe to the views of a man who is so sure of his rights of free speech and expression, he has to disguise himself. Nor should anyone else, especially an intelligent man like yourself. You clearly have issues with authority, as I have in defence of a man I respect here. We seem, however to have different motives. For one thing, I do not regard the Police as Der Gestapo..and this is not Europe 1942. I and many here do not need instruction on how to deal with the police; becaus

    Tooling Craig. Y'know. Embossed work. Filligree scrolls or Lettering or, something else nice and fancy. I'd like to see some examples too please. Best wishes. Simon

    Good post Archie. I certainly feel it's high time we folks who enjoy our shooting and our rifles, lawfully, honestly and decently, should be allowed the peace and freedom to enjoy our sport without threats and wobetides and promised terms in the slammer from figures of authority or ignoramouses among the public. We are law-abiding men and women who do not need a bloody lecture in gun law from some jumped up little prat with a stick to wave. Maybe it's time to stand up for ourselves, armed with some legal protection of law. I am not blaming the police in anyway here. They can only a

    There's a chap on here selling a beautiful Air Arms TX200HC MkIII in .177 and a very nice scope, for very reasonable money. And it's the current stock in Beech I think. I have one of these in this calibre and it's absolutely deadly accurate. As good as my HW77 .22. And that is one awesome underlever rifle. No one has posted any response to it yet but, if I was in your boots, I'd be on to this pretty quick. Simon

    The minor details being Miles.... Oh the stillest water can run very deep! I am normally Tony. Very quiet guy really. I JUST DO NOT LIKE UNFAIR INJUSTICE LIKE THIS ON DECENT PEOPLE JUST SO SOMETHING CAN BE SEEN TO BE DOING SOMETHING. THERE'S BEEN TOO BLOODY MUCH OF THAT. Sorry mate I'm shouting again. I'd love to be prime Minister of this great nation. It wouldn't be a soft touch country, but, it would be fair and just for all. Miles. Spare me the minor details mate. Too much emphasis on minor details is what brought the Police down on our friend here in the first place Reg

    And so this thread rambles on.... Well considering, about 10 years ago, a certain police firearms officer up this way, got himself sent down for pocketing about £30,000 cash fiddled from the FAC/Shotgun licence account, I'd say there's a difference between honest mistakes made in blind trust, and outright criminal intent aforethought and wilful action to perpetrate it. We drive without thought at 80mph on crowded motorways with a 70mph limit. MPs fiddle their expenses, claim it was an honest mistake and walks away. A poor lass does a bit of cleaning on the side to top up her benifits a

    There you go Rob. I bet you felt on top of the world when you put the money down for your Huntsman (lovely rifle by the way ) and she was now all yours. I don't smoke anymore and nowadays I drink only sociably on the occasions that come along, usually with business. I'm not a tight sod. But when I want something, I put the dosh away. And I always get just what I want. Regards mate. Simon

    These threads have got me wondering. Whatever happened to saving up for the air rifle you really, truly, madly, deeply wanted and enjoying that childlike excitement of going to your gunshop with the cash in your wallet. And that moment when it comes down from the racks and it's yours; all yours?? I bought every single one of my guns I ever had this way, and I cherished and cared for them all the more for what it took to get them. Infact all the guns I own today, were purchased this way. I don't owe any bugger for 'em, and no woman or even God himself is going to come between them

    It's a work of sculpture in wood. A real work of the stockmaker's art. Beautiful. Simon.

    Thanks mazzachief. You have every right to feel satisfied with your HW97. They are absolutely lovely to shoot and just to look at! Can't help you with the inbox though. But all the best with your shooting your HW97. Pianoman
