  1. I am getting the impression the timing of this whole affair from start to finish will mirror the breeding seasons . Just imagine the explosion of corvid and pigeon numbers from just this alone.
  2. As a guess, in situations like that and far less, those farmers will put two fingers up to all who think they can tell a hard working farm to lose money hand over fist because they like crows,- guaranteed they will shoot them,- who would`nt - 200 lambs taken in the most cruelest ways. I often have an evening out at the local pub, frequented by local farmers and without going into detail they "ALL" totally disagree with the revoke of the GL , yes, every last one of them ! Great post lip - just goes to show how much out of touch w
  3. Aye up Archibold What's with Tom ? Keep an eye on this fecker lads.
  4. The wife was pushing me whilst on a swing Lip. If I push my legs in and out whilst swinging I can get a tiny tad out. Honest ! Primos sticks lip, I love using Primos sticks for static hunting. atb. Mark.
  5. JSB Exact Express 7.87g, 4.52, 38 yards for my Pro Sport. My figures are 814 ft/sec, 11.58 ft/lbs. Great groups lip.
  6. A nice Beretta o/u multi choke will cover all your needs. Here's my 687 sporter. I've seen no need to change guns in over 25 years. atb. Mark.
  7. Didn't realise you are nigh on 60 yrs old Mitch , still if you look on the bright side you are way behind Philpot. Only saying like. x
  8. All filled in and sent and I feel better for it too. One of the scarecrows the farmer put out had a crow perched on its arm this morning. As well as make me laugh, it made me feel sick to the core that centuries of country management and knowledge is being dictated to by these ignorant people. Do your bit lads and fill in the forms and send. atb. Mark.
  9. Regardless of all manner of pigeon control I have found that wood pigeons are taking on a feral pigeon role of survival in city parks, town areas, town parks , gardens etc, etc,etc. In my areas the wood pigeon numbers are through the roof as all local farming is arable, all crops. Left unchecked these numbers will become 10 fold in just a few seasons. One, two or twenty two they need controlling with whatever means and preferably just how we were and even then their numbers were still steadily growing.
  10. Well lads, as you know, i like to go walk about , no gun but be on top of my patch. A section of this farm has an area that is out of the way but my GSP kept marking this area in the winter months so i thought i`d take another look. I sat Kaiser for this photo but take note with the trees and crop bend - i always walk him into the wind and here he is on scent, not taking his nose out of the breeze for one second. Very keen hunting dog is Kaiser and he took me to this patch of damaged crop. Now i know this is rabbit trouble
  11. What`s the serial number of your rifle FF ? Get back to me with that serial number i`ll give you the internal sizes of your 77 action. By far the best pellet in my 1986 MK2 HW 77 is the JSB Exact Express 4.52. 7.87g atb Mark.
  12. Yes TT i agree.( Blue paragraph). Where i`ve mentioned where alternatives to shooting were tried and failed would that be deemed ok then shooting is ok ? I`m sure the lads will put each other right, should they need to on here in the future atb Mark
  13. Basically you`ll have to justify why you are shooting the pigeons to an officer of law if you get pulled up. One of my shoots has a permanent gas gun cracking off approx` every 15 minutes, it`s around 360 acres in size , my nets won`t cover the fields and the pigeons take no notice of scarecrows. The local kids constantly nick the scarecrows as well . I regularly take 50 plus bags off the stubble before the farmer sows again as we expect the ground to get hammered as it always does. I should stand ok with
  14. I`ve used the Mamba Lite 4-16 x44 for a couple of years on mine Jimmy and i`m sure you said the Mamba scope suits your eye well. If it`s any use to you Jimmy there`s a nice one up for sale on Free ads and at a very fair price ? atb Mark.
  15. Love your refurbished stock Mitch, excellent job How does the handling of the CS stock and rifle compare to standard in your opinion Mitch ? Very attractive stock too the CS, love the high cheek comb.
  16. Say that again please lads - are we all ok and back to normal in England ?
  17. Not biting yer Twat Never had a problem with either caliber for accuracy to be honest.( only trajectory) Once any shooter takes away any fore end grip and allows the spring rifle to float shall we say, then the accuracy on offer usually improves greatly with correct building of shot ,regardless of caliber. As a personal preference i do prefer a heavy spring rifle. atb Mark.
  18. Well i can only reply with this Jimmy, " Now that i have them, they are going nowhere " in .177 mind atb mate, Mark.
  19. Aye up Simon If your Pro Sport and you are loving the Fields change nothing . I only have two .22 cal rifles, the FWB Sport 127, mk1 and the HW 100 KS which i have just fitted with Jimmy`s old scope, the Hawke Air Max 30 sf 6-24 x50 ( might put this scope on my .177 KT yet , hmmmm ) - both running extremely well on Falcon Accuracy Plus. Heres the FWB Simon with a V Mach engine fitted just. Talking about the 97, i bought a very cheap but very effective Chinese chrony that told
  20. Wonderful friends and wonderful rifles Jimmy - you are a lucky man and so are they to have a friend like you. Twat. atvb Mark. p.s. i`m glad you have finally listened to me and got the Pro Sport, HW 97K and HW 100 KS all in the finest cal` .177
  21. Secondary PM sent on my son`s behalf Joe.
  22. Hi Jamie, I`m very sure i read somewhere that the LGV when stripped and lubed correctly is transformed if the TX 200 main spring is installed,- sure i read that from one of the Air gun magazines i never buy .
  23. Lovely place you have there Jamie I once owned the Walther Master Pro in .177. Which do you prefer mate ?
  24. A change from the GL discussion i thought i would test out the JSB Exact Express 4.52, 7.87g through my KT for power, accuracy and consistency. I`ve always stuck with the AA Fields 4.52, 8.4g with the HW 100 KT even after some three years of using exclusively the Exact, Express through all of my .177 spring rifles. Mitch put me onto the JSB Exact Express , so since buying my little but extremely accurate Chinese Chrony i thought - test time. The AA Fields 8.4g, 4.52 gave an extremely consistent 794 ft
  25. Here you go Mr Packham two magpies and two crows dragged this young wood pigeon out from it`s nest , killed it and left it. They then went looking for more song bird chicks, game bird chicks etc, etc to kill and leave. Foxes do the same, as do Mink to anything they can find, if a fox gets into your chicken coop it kills every last one and leaves them where they lay. The country loving people hate this but your stupid actions will help this happen at least a thousand fold more in a short time !
