    Ronnie Wood is from water gypsey stock, born not far from me.

    He said he is the first of his family to be born on dry land, take a look at him and he looks as about as romany as you can get.

    Got a great popgun. .50 cal, just had new leather seal, string, re-greased, polished stock, smooth bore, single shot, chrono'd at .978 ft/lbs with a .978 spread but thats because the cork needs some attention.

    Makes hunting a real test. A true mans man gun. In fact, no i've changed my mind. You can't have it.

     

     

    Jeez what was I thinkin! phew.

     

    old school :laugh:

     

    would consider a nice hw77k custom carved cheek piece stock

    as the cover grows back to the new fence it should fill in most the gaps leaving fewer spots for the rabbits to come through and giving you better stake out points. as you said its new permision you have just got to learn the ground... you will suss it ;)

    Hi Kenny iv got a brand new condition Air Arms TX 200 mkIII H/C walnut R/H 22.cal with a Hawk 6 24x56 iliuminated (red/green) with auto recital

    Inc, a logun scope mounted halogen lamp with belt battery pack+gun slip+ cleaning kit.

    It's done two tin's from new and about 20 pellets ago had a, full service, new O rings, piston, spring and ram, copper slipped and zeroed, by Tarry Mann one of the north-west well known and respected gun smiths. This gun (for a springer) is one of the best you will see or fire, the TX200 it's a very good gun, this one is arguably "the best".

    Hope this interests you kind regards Tom :-)

    At least you got a shot of bud! i went out last night for a spot of lamping on the rabbits and didnt see a thing. mind you the cloud cover moved leaving a nice bright moon so that didnt help but on the plus side me and my lad sat and watched a badger 10yrds away routing about for 10 mins it didnt seem to give a fek that we was there with a lamp on him.it made the trip worth it as its the first time my boys seen one and it was just good to get out the house for a couple of hours.

    our family business was a maggot farm so because my mum worked the weekened as a mental health nurse i woud go to work with my dad this could be pritty boring so i would just go of and explore i soon started to notice the rats so i knicked my brothers gat gun and for weeks tried to shoot one i never did get one with it .then one weekend i went to work with the old man he said go and look in the office theres somthing for you and there it was a old relum tornado that he had got of one of his mates but to me it was the bees knees after a few pratice shots at a dead pig i went on the hunt i nailed two rats on my first day and that was it i was bitten by the bug and even though there has been periods in my life i never hunted the urge has never left me and never will.
