  1. Yes I've heard they ain't worth di** especially for the price and amount of rounds you get for them tbh mate.
  2. If you make this person aware they are known to your presence hopefully they'll disappear into the shadows from which they came never to be heard of again.
  3. Some young twenty something or in there late teens who has no experience but has seen too much bear grylls no doubt!...make up a card stating youce found his/her snares and they are illegally working the land and leave them marked where he left the snares, sounds like a chancer to me.
  4. Good informative answers , I guess some just like to tinker around.
  5. Well I wasn't trying to sway you from your initial intention as its more than a good idea and is a great way of hunting multiple species, there is no one tool for all just a tool that is more suited and I believe that the rimmies were mentioned merely as a suggestion...it certainly was meant that way from me
  6. Well said unless you are doing what the Americans tend to do which is driven rabbit shoots, personally I think you'd be better off getting a rimfire and separating your shooting techniques as although its good enough for the job a rimfire is better!
  7. As Dan said joesutton its fine mate just ask in the store what they should recommend for rabbits mate and they'll tell you or should tell you what you'll hear on here.
  8. Marlin and Winchester are good, tbh some of the new Italian reproductions arnt suppose to be too bad at all, read up on them off the internet bud and I'm sure you'll find info off of them on which to avoid. Obviously some will say one more than the other but then I think personnel preference will come into account with a lot as well.
  9. With most CF if it won't go through straight away with bullets on the same impact spot they will eventually
  10. Very nice work bud!..you should be fine with the .22lr but if using a cf I would of had cut out holes with a removable patch in the holes of lighter material as it will be replaceable, sorry if I seem to pick holes (no pun intended ) as I'm sure I wouldn't be capable of doing a job as good myself. Anyways keep us posted with some of the after effects and how it holds up.
  11. I guess it depends then, it isn't much dearer brand new tbh...I guess the choice is yours but cover your a** either way.
  12. Very true, how are any of us are to know the thought behind any of the illogical/logical thought behind many of there views though.
  13. Hmmm I'd personally go for the cz in .223 depending on the condition, don't feel comfortable buying 2nd hand unless I know where it comes from (not completely restricted to firearms) ...are they new or 2nd hand again?
  14. Well it certainly seems that in a lot of the upper echelons of our sport as well mike.
  15. Yes its not a well thought out idea but this is something some of them do work to, Well the amount of ammo that you go through let's say 2000 rounds within 6 months shows in there eyes that you have used the rifle proficiently without causing a problem and are therefor safe for you to be considered for an open certificate, the amount of time varies obviously depending on a feo and the situation. Also having a FAC for the first 5 yrs then automatically having it opened doesn't equal experience either yokel matt as I've known people buy rifles and use them only a few times for them to then b
  16. I think it also comes down to how popular the round is received throughout as a majority all over which gives better accessibility to it.
  17. It also depends on how much ammunition you are going through as this dictates in his /her eyes your competencey, you may want to take photo's of your quarry which you can use as evidence ( not really needed tbh) but after a set period of time which is normally no less than 6 months they can open it up for you providing you have proved your need of use for this.
  18. I don't think it effects the accuracy but it does muzzle velocity, I don't know if you can get the fore sight/iron sights back on but you can ask.
  19. Yes I do believe that the cz 452 is the modern more up to date version of the Brno model rifles (1,2,3,4 and 5) that's why there's similarities.
  20. No on the variation they just work off your current FAC permitting the land is cleared for that calibre and/or they're happy with you.
  21. You may be right RIP.JD but never give up, I may not agree with a lot of things but I will defend your right for it.
  22. Since we are posting what we got Dan heres another one alot dont go for in another low price range http://www.ruger.com/products/americanRifle/models.html
  23. Don't know if this is of any concern but I think there has been a bit of a twist in the facts when it comes to the .22lr, think it was last year that I had a look at a chart which shows the varying calibre's and how many times used to a lethal effect, I dont know if this was a US based chart but I do remember that the .22 was leading considerably probably due to the age and ease of use in comparison to other calibre's. I think this is where people make the assumtion that it is the most dangerous of calibre's...not the right description or choice of words.
  24. Very nice! ,yes it depends on the land layout and circumstances, many a time there a hindrance lugging around and many a time they are the tool that's needed but left behind.
