  1. I've got a 687 Silver pigeon with matte black barrel which is great in bright conditions. It's a factory option I believe. Totally happy with mine
  2. Hi folks, does anybody have any experience of these and can anyone say what choke they are fixed at? 3 Shot bolt action looks very handy for mooching with the pooch
  3. Best springer I ever owned bar none. A 95K in .22. An outstanding springer
  4. Wish you lived closer Rake Glad you're In Scotland Rake :laugh:
  5. Yes, the law is on your side. Fill your boots
  6. "well....for a start, my son's not black..."
  7. theres a lot of muscle for the pellet to get through, and then theres the solid breast bone to get though. At legal limit, the air rifle often doesnt have enough power to penetrate that lot. The bird often has enough energy to fly off and if its lucky, it bleeds to death within half an hour, if its unlucky it heals up enough to die of gangrene days or weeks later. Headshots is best
  8. Head or between the shoulder blades from behind. I've seen too many fly off to die later when someone shoots them into the chest from the front. With the headshots, you either kill em clean or clean miss, either way, nothing gets hurt.
  9. Thanks Mr & Mrs Mole and Milegajo for the nice comments - makes the writing worthwhile
  10. Best advice I can offer is for you to get to your nearest field target club and benefit from as much practical help and advice as you can handle. This will be highly advantageous for you at this stage in your shooting career and you will find that airgunners are a friendly welcoming bunch
  11. Thats why I never buy rabbit from the butchers - you never know how unscrupulous some folk can be
  12. WTF!!! where do you live, Royston Vase??? Sometimes, it does feel that way
  13. have you had an awful lot of coffee today?
  14. Also agree - seen plenty of bunnies with the tapeworm cysts, usually with just eggs rather than hatching though.I discard any infected bunnies as a matter of course. Tape worm cysts are easy to spot though.
  15. CHerish every moment mate. I lost my Gran in 2004. And wished I'd spent more time with her. Duncan
