    my bits: Daystate Harrier PH6 in .22 with a skeleton stock. The stock came on the other rifle but I swapped them as the balance is so much better with the weight of the PH6 action sitting further back. Scope for this TBC but this is my little, pointable hard-hitter. The other harrier is single shot in.177. The stock is something I bought for a project - not inletter but I don't think it would suit the harriers. There is a HW95 project rifle but it's not getting shown until complete!

    everyone agrees tho, if in doubt for the sake of safety it's loaded, always always discharge safely before you need to climb a fence, put the gun away, give it to someone else or whatever. my ph6 has numbers on the fixed mag and whenever i have a quiet moment I re-fill the mag and re-index to 1 but thats an annoying point on that gun, when I finish a session i'm not happy to have the mag full so i burn 6 shots into a safe spot to make sure the gun is properly empty.....

    i get you guys but i'm wondering - isn't this meant to be for use only when you would have the gun loaded? I don't think the suggestion is totally rely on it when safety is at stake - "oh it's on green so i'll chuck my gun in the boot, go home and think no more" but, you're in your hide and waiting, having the gun loaded is ok, but you took a shot and the pigeon landed belly up so you retrieved it, got bored, ate your mars bar, then you hear a flutter.... it would be handy to be reminded if you have one up the spout or not? Probably not the best time to discharge the rifle just to check as

    this is an amazing idea - i've got H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 9.26 gr with the X shaped hollow point, and AA Diablo Fields in 4.52 8.4gr. Happy to swap for a .177 pellet people think I should try in my Daystate Harrier.

    nice shooting, like your ferrals - they look edible. on my perm they look terrible

    those ferals look very clean and tidy - no danger of them being rock doves or nowt? Not a dig but i'd be keen to know the difference - sure you know your shoot very well bud.

    What is the timber? It looks like iroko or something, not wavy-grained but it looks super tight and stable. i'm marmite-y within my own mind on bullpups in general, sometime i love them, sometimes not but this is pushing me into their little stubby arms! nice b

    "A 300 kilometer round trip to the nearest dive centre to refill a scuba bottle would cost me approximately £30 in petrol alone." What does 300km work out at here? Maybe a tank at £75!! It's early days for me but I used to run a bottle and sold it ages ago at uni. Luckily I never did sell the daystate harrier it was for and recently resucrected it with an FX pump. The quality seems good but I hear lots about the hills. I've been surprised after the horror storries on how hard it is at that it is, infact, really not that hard! You don't have to do it in one sitting and at pace - but I a

    hi guys. i'm ben and i'm in london, but my heart is still in the country. i grew up between the south east of england (sussex) and australia and was into my field sports all that time. I used to do more until becoming a student squeezed the budget. I cleared out most of the guns and gear I spent a "gap year" and numerous weekend jobs working to buy (+ pay fees - there were no travels for me!).... BUT i have my first "propper" gun ever - HW95K now in need of TLC but an exciting project + a harrier PH6 in .22 and a harrier in .177 that I never got rid of when I gave up my guns "on ticket
