  1. The message sent was: To see this ad by an organisation such as barnardo's is sickening to say the least, I am a holder of both sgc, and fac, and also contribute to barnardo's fundraising every year, The image in which you potray legal firearm's owners in this video is shocking to say the least, I am both a sportsman and countryman and proud to be raised in such a way that brings me in touch with nature, We simply don't go around shooting everything we see.. Great care and skill has been developed to achieve the best standards possible with everything we strieve to do, And this ad is putting
  2. i for got you had the thumbhole vss, so i don't think it will be much use to you either, i could lend you a hacksaw if you want to start cutting
  3. Nice one, So is the breaking still going on or what................ or is it ACCIDENTAL...............
  4. i know a friend of mine was looking for one for his trg22 and it was the 6a i found for him that fitted. so see if it looks like it
  5. Is the stock a little low for you john? try the sniper's neoprene cheekpiece from hunters of england it's excellent.......
  6. any calibre is as effective as any other its just the smaller the calibre the tighter the pattern but the longer the shot string.20s are a sweet little gun without making the jump down to a 28 bore.try one you will enjoy it. i shoot a 30inch 410 at everything and love it to bits i graduated from 12 to 20 to 28 to this,,makes things a challenge and gives you great satisfaction. i did shoot a 20 for a day a browning that my mate bought recently, i have to say its a sweet gun but i have great sucess with my browning gold fusion semi-auto, yes i agree also on the challenge you gave yo
  7. Nice one, always good to get another bi of permission.......
  8. Paddy if your bino's say waterproof on them and they are not then you may exchange them for a new pair at no extra cost or get a refund, i would keep persuing the issue, and not them them get away with that sort of crap, Small claims court, should waken them up a bit.................
  9. barrel break in helps with the rim fire to, it cant hurt is the way i see it, and it needs to be done with a fast little rimfire round like the hmr.
  10. the 20 bore is every bit as good a gun as the 12 bore, there is a little more room for error with the 12 bore due to a bigger load in the shell on the 12 bore, the 20 bore is a nice gun but has as said less room for error, killing wise if your on the money its a great gun, with a good range too. however i don't know what price the shells are over there but the 20 bore tend to be more expensive over here, maybe due to the 12 bore being the most used shotgun.......hope this is of help to you..
  11. Have a good day mate.....
  12. SNAP SHOT found that local dealers don't deal. you'd think they would be looking to gain business not loose it. very poor attitude, i hope you get something sorted soon
  13. yes mate the barrel break-in is the same on every centre-fire calibre....... everyone has a different cleaning routine, and break in. but it can only help and reduce the fouling build up later on.
  14. if you ask your local dealer to get you some and to keep a stock in you will buy them.....i know this doesn't solve the problem for now but it should be considered, and you could make an agreement that when he reaches a certain low point that he should order more, hopefully then the supply will never run out for you........
  15. i've had it on my phone for ages, A good thing to have...as it saves time trying to contact kin.....................
  16. body shot heart area around 100 130 yards but no more, the hmr needs shot placement to be spot on, on a humane kill will NOT be achieved, pushing past that is a chancey shot, odd fox yes if out hunting bunnies and you see foxy at a good close range yes, dedicated foxing gun NO.
  17. Not a bad few nights there john, good to see your getting out.......
  18. the american's always favour the heart shot over any other kill zone or so i'm led to believe, slightly behind the front shoulder, which nearly always ends in a heart shot, if not the lungs take the hit, or both, i find i always aim for a neck shot 1/2 to 3/4 way up the neck, i always imagine the curve of the spine on the animal before the shot, The higher up the neck you go as always the closer you will need to be i find because if the animal is grazing there is too much head movement just below the skull area... most of the stalking i do is in fairly open area and the animals are hard to st
  19. As stated early on in the post.......i'm finished with it.......i'm not geting into a slaging match here, oh and i was simply making a statement that the larger the bullet doesn't necessarly mean more killing power, And for your information i only shoot targets in the summer to practice bullet placement and drop at various ranges, i'm a hunter first and foremost.......And i don't need you to tell me weather my deer are living or dead....... i said i won't reply any more earlier but you can't keep it civil can you......As said the .243 is more than likely the most popular calibre in england an
  20. Gutting news mate, for the both of you, my thoughts are with you both at this trying time............SS
  21. Erm. I didn't know animals were into fixing stuff. Anyway, that statement of yours isn't strictly true. Is it? Death occurs in one of 3 ways: 1. Rapid loss of blood pressure, depriving the central nervous system of oxygen 2. Physical interference with nerve pathways 3. Both of the above. So..... Large calibre + bad shot placement = big wound + animal alive (for a while at least) Moderate calibre + good shot placement = smaller wound + animal humanely dead. Placement. PERIOD! We seem to have lost the focus of Gluebeam's original request for information. Back on topic pleas
  22. THE SHOOTER, all be it hunting people................
