    If your only spending 3.5k I would go for the ranger as it will buy you a better example. Ive had 5 mitsubishis and never had a breakdown but Ive never paid less than 12k for one and they were the newer shape. But I know a few lads who go stalking on the Scotish borders and the keeper up their has a ranger and my mates told me it went over the moor better than a defender and coped with the massive mud ruts like you wouldnt believe. Only problem is ground clearence is a bit low on them but I hear more about old mitsubishi problems than a ford. Ive seen some mint rangers for as l

    Bushnell tactical elite 5-15x40 Ive got one its got massive chunky target turrets clear as a bell and bright for a 40mm objective its milldot 25mm tube light weight what more do you want with a scope. The image makes the mtc range look sick beyond 50 yrds and at 200 yrds its stunning.

    I know you can get em cheap. Ive seen rapids for £350 but it dont stop people paying £800 for a good sorted one. Ive spent daft money on this so I wont be taking £200 for it I will keep it if need be and sell something else because I know If I searched for the next ten years I wont find another like it.

    Steroids

    engraver replied to Lloyd90's topic in General Talk

    As far as steriods and guns are concerned its a no no. Just ask Oscar pistorius's defence lawyers. At the end of the day I have known plenty of mates over the years who take em and just wait while they have had enough at 40ish what goes up must come down and they end up suffering mentally as they are not what they once were anymore, and then there are the chemical imbalances like bitch tits Unless they lean down quickly they find the mass hard to shake and in the end makes em look fat as they cant stay ripped forever. And my wife is a cardiology nurse Ive lost count of how ma

    No experience of there autos but there over and unders are fantastic guns. As far as reliable semi autos are concerned you wont beat a fabarm for value. After that beretta, Beneli, Remington and winchester are all worth a look. Another gun worth considering is stoger if you can get your hands on one. There built by beneli on benelis old famous inertia action but at a fraction of the cost. Browning Maxus can give trouble with a piston spring breaking. I've heard some horror stories about them. A friend of mine has one and has shot it hard for the last 3 or 4 years and he's only chang

    I ended up Buying a Browning maxus today. Ive got to wait ten days for it though because I ordered it in 26" as I thought it would make a better hide gun. Cant wait for it now.

    I phoned Manchester airguns and they gave me the number, hes moved across the road now to his own premises, I had the address wrote down on some paper but I seem to have misplaced it at the moment mate.

    The Modern Pneumatic Airgun is basically a Guide/book with blueprint style engineering drawings of how to build your own precharged pneumatic airguns. I never got round to it so its sat in the rack since I got it, but it was an expensive book. There are no ripped pages so its like a new book. I thought I would offer it up on here before It goes on the bay. Ill say £20 posted.

    Just reblued at Colin Molloy manchester, it wasnt rusty it just had a tiny mark which I used as an excuse to strip it down and have a go at tuneing it as it was the brother in laws who shot about 50 shots through it from new then shoved it in a cupboard for about 5 years and it shot very vibey. Anyhow while it was apart I polished the piston, the trigger sears and spring made a ptfe piston liner and spring guide washer and molly greased everything up, apart from the piston seal obviously, now its back together Im quite impressed as its totally transformed the gun it now shoots very quick w

    It true that a sunny day is what you want as the soil needs to be soft for em to peck around.

    Pm replied to. Thanks for the compliments it will definately stick in the memory last week shooting pigeons with it from a mono pod and 3 I paced out were 55yrds definately the max range for a .22 but they dropped like stones, the Nikon scope has a brilliant ret for no nonsense hunting and will parallax down to 10yrds on full mag clear as a bell. Here is the scope and I have receipt and 30yrs warrenty card, it suits the balance of the gun perfectly which is what I wanted to acheive its not much heavier than a small wtc but much brighter.

    Probably the best you will find. FX designed and made in Sweden, by the same designer of the new FX range, and this gun has the same lothar walther match barrel, a new .177 barrel alone cost over £200 from chambers but the .22 is slightly less about £180 though! Ive loved these guns since they were designed, this one was a project gun and I spent daft money on it, the stock alone cost me £150 I had all the metal parts reblued at Colin Molloys manchester, its had a full o ring replacement and fine tune of the hammer to get it to an almost regged performance, 11.6 ft/ibs with Airarms

    I managed to get out today on the drillings I thought would produce a good bag and the fields were dead the frost had moved em on somewhere else, I got a couple of pigeons and packed up I was frozen.

    After 2 l200s and a new 3.2 shogun warrior I bought a secondhand freelander 2 auto last october with 35k on clock fsh. Since then Ive never given any car Ive owned as much stick and Ive got to say even with standard boots its got me everywhere this winter with all my decoying gear in the boot easily and two guns with the seats layed down. Ive driven it on the fields and lanes around my shoots through some proper mud had it bottomed out in the tractor ruts but its always got me out of trouble when Ive needed it most, and it gets the kids to school when the teachers cant make it ( never

    Nice one I did about 120 pigeon last week in 4 days and about 30 or so crows. But Im laid up at present following an opperation just as the best fields were drilled. I past in the car the other day and the fields were black Im itching to get out this week and Im confident theres going to be a 50-70 bird day on the crows coming.

    I have about £700 to spend Im after something in cammo as Ive got an expensive over and under I dont want to mark up woodie shooting.

    If you have already made your mind up then its a done deal. But just my 2 pennys worth, a gun that many discount as they associate it with the turk guns is the FX2000 (its FX designed and swedish!). It was one of the first pcp airguns I owned and I shot that example for 12 years with just one filler o ring to replace, it accounted for loads and loads of quarry, but I did custom it up with venom airmasters and custom stock, but I sold it my error. But after spending about £???? on airguns in the last ten years Im back on a fx2000 inmo its just that but different and special at the s

    good point but believe it or not Ive done that more than once with two shots with an over and under.

    I fancy one for simply loading in a hide is easier, but for handling I doubt one can ever beat a trully ballanced overunder game gun on pigeons.

    Well that sounds like my scenario, so Im trying to go down the proper legal root thats why I phoned this morning to talk things over with the land owner and hopefully get a formal meeting with the keeper who is now in his seventies and hasnt got the time or energy for pest control I can only help him providing he gives me a chance but this sounds remote as he sounds a bit grumpy. Im from a keepering family so I know exactly what your talking about I have been there.
