  1. Good shooting vm. I’m surprised that you’d prefer the hw100 over the crown though.
  2. Good shooting. Two rookeries very near to me, a large one and a splinter group half a mile either way, they’re everywhere at the moment. I don’t dislike them as I do carrion crows and magpies though.
  3. It’s not knitting, it’s sowing Nathan. Don’t tell me you haven’t been watching? ?
  4. You know the hw35e will be worth more when you weigh it in don’t you Mark ?
  5. Hmm. Rabbit shooting in the wildfowling section isn’t likely to get the result you’re looking for fella.
  6. Aren’t they just. I use heavier 12 gauge cartridges at this time of year when they’re in the tops of the tall beech trees as they’re out of reach of my 20 hushpower subsonic cartridges as they dash away for cover. They just don’t hit the squirrels hard enough to bring them down quickly. I use 32 gram 5’s or bigger and a tight choke.
  7. Did you get a photo? I’ve seen them with no tail before.
  8. Nah, probably not. I shot loads early last year on one 19 acre patch. Not one this time, and only seen the odd one or two since. I’ve got a big broad leaf wood with plenty about, but you could call them sporting to say the least. I keep intending to get up there and at ‘em, but I’ve been busy with other commitments unfortunately. I’ll hopefully be at them in the next few weeks though.
  9. Yeah, ask Mark Williams, he likes to deal with old scrap air rifles. Tell him I sent ya’ he might do you a good deal?...............???
  10. Aye, good stuff. Sure you’ll make it 100 before April vm?
  11. Nice offer, good price Deker. If I were closer I’d have a brick.?
  12. Good “stuff” (pardon) as usual Nathan??
  13. Good shooting Mark, in this weather you’re doing well to hit anything you’re aiming at with an airgun?
  14. It is a criminal offence to possess the rifle over 12ft lbs without it being on ticket. Therefore you should ask the rfd to simply remove the bolt or some other part so that it’s no longer a working gun. You can then leave with it legally and get it sorted out later. It’s your property and your problem, not theirs. They have no legal power to confiscate property. They’re dealers not law enforcers. I’d suggest that anyone thinking of taking an air gun to an rfd to check its power, should research the facts of the law first, print it off in readiness should they find themselves in this position.
  15. For maximum accuracy, fire a one shot group at 38 yards, then draw a horizontal and vertical line dissecting the hole. This gives best results. Good shooting Mark?? ???
  16. I phoned wildcat rifles yesterday afternoon regarding having my evolution back bush machined to 20mm I/D. They took my name and address and said that if I send the back bush to them, they would do the job for me, no problem. Well, I was surprised when the post arrived this morning. A new back bush, free of charge, machined to 20mm as I’d requested. What great customer service. I can only recommend them highly. I’ve been very pleased with the moderator itself as well, well designed and finished in my opinion. Also very good performance. Just thought they deserved a mention. Excellent ?.
