  1. I don't know the gun you are describing but SBS are 'traditional' game guns rather than o/u. But as you say you can shoot both with either. I think it is more to do with tradition, but the likes of me doesn't get to go on expensive shoots so I am only guessing.
  2. Probably just mice brushing against them and setting them off. If you are catching just keep going.
  3. The trigger on my .410 has suddenly gone really stiff. Being someone who isn't particularly good at mechanical things, would you recommend me having a fiddle myself or taking it to gun smith? Are they hard to fix? It's an Italian folding jobby.
  4. I don't think you can really. I'm not saying that people haven't done it, but I don't think it's a great way to keep a customer coming back.
  5. We both know burrow baiting is safe and effective almost regardless of the formulation of the product, so that's a bit of a red herring. And as you have mentioned, least toxic first, as per earlier comment.
  6. We'll have to agree to disagree on the first point, and one the second I'm not going to debate the apparent safety of using a toxic dust!
  7. lol that's just semantics Matt, but the result is the same. And do you honestly think it should be your first choice of control method?
  8. And you wonder why it was banned? Your first resort is for a poison in a powder form, and that powder is very difficult to control it's distribution. Crazy.
  9. Like all the tools that are available to professionals, it will be as effective as the hand that wields it.
  10. What's your choice of cartridge for dispatch? 2 1/2 or 3" ? I use the smaller one as my .410 isn't moderated and with that size it just sounds like a loud banger. And I should add the 3" cartridges seem much much louder.
  11. That wooden box set up is really impressive Woodga. I have done similar with Fenn's for squirrels, although your workmanship looks better - is that set up with 110's?
  12. I have one. Great fun and a necessary tool for dispatch, get one there is no shame!
  13. Well what about the licence then? Do you need one? How about the firearms situation?
  14. Always makes me laugh when I see the blokes down my local air rifle shooting range all camouflaged up. I mean why bother?????
