  1. Personally Rez, I would stick with the long and tested design of barrel band to cylinder. Bomb proof and they don't miss,- well mine does`nt, honest .
  2. I`m saying absolutely nothing.
  3. Bought this 97K off Simon, ( Pianoman) last year and she has proved to be one hell of a rifle. Only the one presentation but one less causing damage to the nursery plants. atb Mark.
  4. Shooting wood pigeons for sowing and crop protection only. Shooting the corvids for chick, lamb, nest etc protection only. ( only if they are attacking firstly) Carry on as normal with grey squirrel, rats and rabbits should be about right I would think ? If I`m wrong, I`m sure you lads will say so. atb. Mark.
  5. Some fine shooting going on there Jimmy. I`ve been doing shed loads of target shooting with the spring rifles myself whilst the GL got sorted. I still find it impossible to get a preference between the springers I own but hell yes the HW 97 is an exceptional rifle in any format atb Mark. P.S. your stock is crap compared to mine. " Only saying like"
  6. Regardless of time limits I`ve sent yet another email. Crop damage and pigeons is starting big style on my permissions
  7. Nice , quiet day at work this morning until 1-35 pm Two Magpies took the three chicks from a nest opposite our roof works, throwing them one after the other to the ground, then swooped down and pecked the heads of the defenceless chicks until all were dead. Lads, I felt sick and furious ! When are these clowns going to sort the general licences out ? atb. Mark.
  8. Nice shooting Si Nice block work too mate atb. Mark.
  9. Enjoy the new gun and extras Jimmy, you deserve it mate. I tried the Ult` Sporter at my range some months back and I too was tempted. Once adjustments to the stock are made to fit you the gun goes to a different level. As you know, a well fitting gun takes the accuracy available a lot easier to attain. That Sporter was one of the most pointable rifles I`ve ever held Good luck with it mate, the one I shot was .177 by the way and her accuracy was astounding with AA Fields 8.4g, 4.52. atb. M
  10. I have wondered how this man can dictate to so many and we to know of him, is so few. After his latest song and verse with regards to Nightingales and culling deer has convinced me that he is simply a very uneducated hypocrite in country life and in my mind is playing his games to suit his mind/ ego rather than the countryside and wildlife. I wonder if this gentleman will be passing his judgements over peoples cats next, it`s well known that domesticated cats take a good 27 Million birds a year in the British isles. I do wonder if the crows hun
  11. Rez, - please don't tell me that's that fecker you went to the back of your pub with ! Top shooting Naps, as per. ate. Mark.
  12. Four or five ? You need to come back down for "some more" lessons Rez. Tommy. x
  13. I'm going to wait after reading through the very accurate BASC reports/ surveys of the matter. They really are getting to the "real truth" of things . atb. Mark.
  14. Thanks Timmy, we are expecting the usual large crop circles and large grain losses sooner or later, so I`ll just carry on watching and the farmer is employing the gas bangers for now.
  15. This is why I posted this post, if we look back ? If we follow GL 31 does it mean crop protection can resume ? That is why I asked if anyone could tell me the answer in English. ATB Mark.
  16. If I have this wrong, I`m sure you lads will put me right. After reading through a minefield of GL material does it say we can shoot under a general licence GL31 and GL 33 for Wood pigeons ? Also GL26 for Carrion Crows ? Magpies and Jays are protected just yet ? It does seem to stress - To " prevent serious damage to crops ", so the way I percieve this is that Johnny is walking his shoot and a wood pigeon flies past, or sat in a tree, you cannot shoot as no " serious crop damage" is occurring ?
  17. Very sorry for the late reply Rez, She is chucking them out at a very steady 817 ft/sec`- 11.67 ft/lbs . ( I know mate, I`ve got my eye on the power) I know mines .177 yer git. Just offering a suggestion of what's working well in .177Jim, as it might well work well in .22. ( that was my theory anyway). ate. Mark.
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. Aye up Archibold What's with Tom ? Keep an eye on this fecker lads.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. 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.
