  1. Now sold This is a reluctant sale due to ill health as I can no longer shoulder the rifle properly. The rifle is a pleasure to use and feels so comfortable when shouldered but I'm guessing that you already know that if you're reading this. The package is as follows Weihrauch HW100KT .22 Weihrauch Silencer (fitted) Hawke Panorama IR 3-9x40 EV (fitted) inc. Cover Caps FX Four Stage Hand Pump MTM Case-Gard K Zone Shooting Rest BSA Polytwill Gunbag Original pump fittings and extra magazine The rifle including the scope are in mint condition and it has been fired less than 250 times (from
  2. Thought about what you said Acuspell, so changed my routine and decided to stake out late afternoon/early evening as normally I'm done by 1630 and sure enough the little fella was soon out having a sniff so managed to despatch so touchwood that's all of them (for now).
  3. Hi Acuspell, The rats are by a small exposed part of a stream that passes through our garden. The area is fenced off for the safety of the kids. They come under the fence and feed in the area just below the bird feeders but they don't venture out to far so if I'm lucky they will expose their heads and shoulders. My wife loves the songbirds so she doesn't want to stop feeding them. I would say that from the position that I'm shooting from to the area in question is about 10 yards and the furthest distance that I can safely place a target to zero is about 16 yards. I am only shoot
  4. Hi, I am in the process of getting rid of a small rat population. Space is limited so in order to set up I place a target in the vicinity of where the rats are coming from and fire a few shots in order to zero. Once zeroed I then remove the target and retreat and wait. The problem is that after this it takes the rats quite a while to brave coming out into the target area which is resulting in some cold lengthy waits. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can set up a permanent zeroing point in that area. I know I could use the metal flip/reset type targets but that won't help in my init
  5. Hi, I'm trying to gather suppliers details so that I can search for the best prices and options. I have been given a couple of names already, I would rather that the supplier deliver my chosen air rifle to Dorset, but I may travel if not too far. Pellpax is one name that springs to mind as they offer this face to face service, also Bond Gun Accessories who are about 45min drive from where I am (which is about the limit that I am prepared to travel). Does anyone have good reliable suppliers that will deliver face to face. I would be really grateful if you could share your experiences
  6. Thanks. I hear what your saying about having to pay postage to send the rifle to them for service, so my next question would be, how much does a service cost at a gunsmiths anyway? Will it work out cheaper than the courier costs?
  7. Hi, Me again! I came across 'theairguncentre.com' and I notice that as well as some very nice looking deals, they give a lifetime guarantee on your rifle for as long as you own it and also a free yearly service free of charge. This seems like one of them too good to be true offers. Does anyone have any experience with this shop and the above offers, Are they genuine and good to their word or is there small print in the terms and conditions. Thanks JT
  8. Hi, I'm pretty sure that this question has been asked for before so feel free to direct me to that thread. My question is what cal. do you prefer and why? I have a 22 spring and I am looking to get a PCP, would I be better getting the PCP in 177 so I have both cal. available? Bearing in mind that I am new to air rifle hunting so it may be some time before I have competent fieldcraft skills so most of my quarry will be further away (for a while at least). Accuracy is also something that I will work on a lot as I can be a bit of a perfectionist at times. I have came across quite
  9. Cheers, the HW100KT looks pretty tasty and I'll have a look at the others when I get five. Matt, I don't mean to be dim but I am a complete novice and I have a couple of questions about dive bottles. Where can you safely store them as I am weary about having a compressed air cylinder in my house. Also what sort of cost are they and how long does one last (on average) and where and how much do they cost to refill?
  10. Happy Christmas people, Having received a little bit of money for chrimbo, I am considering buying a PCP air rifle in the new year. I already have a spring air rifle, which I like for target practice but I feel a PCP will be better whilst out and about. Two that I have my eye on are the 'Webley Raider 10' and the 'Weihrauch HW 100'. If I opt for the Webley, I should be able to buy in the new year but if I opt for the HW100 then I will have to save for a couple of months as it is obviously quite a bit more money. (hopefully in time for spring) I have seen some people comment about p
  11. Hi, I have to wear glasses and I was wondering whether anyone had any tips for shooting an Air rifle whilst wearing them (with a scope) and also any tips for out on the field hunting whilst wearing them (stopping glare, reflection, rain etc..) Thanks
  12. Hi, If I'm going to use an air rifle, do I need insurance, and if so, any advice on policies and annual cost? Thanks
  13. Froudy, if it was me that you tried to PM, then I don't think you can until I have had my posts moderated a few times and become a proper member.
  14. Yeah, it's great down here for getting away from the rat race. Hi Froudy, yes Warmwell is about a five minute drive away.
