Is there any flex in the forend Gav? Maybe the barrel is free floating until the gun is on a bipod and then the forend might flex under weight and touch the barrel? I’ve had this before. Just a thought, then I might be talking shite??
I’m laughing, but I I’ve actually still got one, going to dig it out if I have time tomorrow. Post a picture of it, make all you lovely lot so envious ?
I’ve got a tin of those grizzlies that my wife bought me. .35 cal I think, don’t know why she bought them in .35? Must be that she’s used to bigger calibres?
Good video that. I don’t know if bow fishing and spear fishing is legal in Britain, but I’d like a go at that. I bet the arrow heads aren’t easily available though?
Conversely, I was going to buy a .204 and then got the hornet. Different I know, but a .204 is most likely my next centrefire. I will keep the hornet though. The hmr might go, but for what I’d get for it, maybe I’ll keep it as a dedicated mouse gun?
Ideal for those Phil. Mines an hw60j, the trigger is superb. I can get Remington ballistic tip for £31/50 and I picked up some Remington 45 grain soft point for £20/50 which isn’t much more than some hmr prices.
It’s .22 Phil. Mostly for corvids, fox and if we need to thin out hares. Also works well on rabbits but makes a mess on body shots and often removes the head with head shots. With the wildcat evo it’s quieter than hmr with a rimfire mod. 35 grain ballistic tip superbly accurate and hard hitting little round and comes into its own past 100 yards compared to hmr.
I have a couple of tins of these and they seem well made to me. They shoot ok in my contour but at 30 grains, the range is obviously short. In fact, they feed really smoothly from the contour’s pellet fussy magazine, but so do h&n rabbit magnums and they shoot really badly in the same gun.
I still have my garden gun, good for rats and short range squirrels. I use rws #10 shot Floberts and it throws a nice little pattern out to ten/fifteen yards. Quiet too?
