Cheers Barry, not heard of this issue before. I imagine something like that is mechanically and could do with being seen too.
Is there any other AA folk out there who have experience this too?

Welcome to the forum Lloyd!
I wouldn't worry about your little hiccup, we all make a little mistake once starting up
Seems like your deep into your hunting and share a good amount of experience over the different sports you're into, it'll be good to hear how you get on in the field and write up on here.
As for shooting yourself..... Just avoid the eyes
Nice intro pal and good to get to know you more over your stay at the forum.
Plenty to read up on and people to know.

Got to be abit of a twat if speaking by texts and upto anything anyway surely? Everyone knows even deleted texts can be restored. Doubt most are upto anything serious enough that the gov would want to have a nose. Terror suspects are no doubt under obbo and have phone calls and texts checked anyway I bet.
The question many will ask is, if you have nothing to hide then what's the problem? Not saying I agree with that theory though as no doubt we become more and more accepting that being spied on is the norm. Cash is already no good on public transport in london now. Not been any fuss over it or anything as everyone's slowly just got used to having an oyster anyway. How long until they do the same with paper money. Real large sums are moved digitally now anyway aren't they? Unless one of you knows where there's some worth while cash boxes lol
It's not so much what you have to hide for the average Joe or Joan. Many companies would go f***ing nuts to have any information on what you're we searching for, what online shopping you're doing and what you're purchasing, what your texting and messaging to your friends....anything they can obtain about you for sales.
Yes, the Gov will use it as "were looking to track down extremists and monitor their websites and incoming and outgoing data" of which MI5 are well aware of there trails!
Why do the Gov need to know why what you're doing with your data- albeit mobile or PC?
Next they'll want to be able to track your phone.... Like rats in the maze.

Looks like perverts will pay anything for a bunch of elastic bands worn by a kid......
Has to be fake

Excuse my ignorance but....
This being from the Gov who couldn't be trusted with laptops and CDs holding very important and classified information?
So much for a "war on terror" when the Gov leave the key in the front door, blinds open and still leave the TV and lights on to scare away the burglars.
I have no faith in our gov and it actually scares me when things come down to our personal information being intruded on or to be sold to the highest bidder to line their own pockets.
I may be paranoid after my years of researching conspiracy theories but can anyone say there's not something sinister behind this? Please educate me if so

Do you have to have an account/profile to vote?
Stupid question perhaps but I thought something like this would be open universally.

A belated welcome to the forum Alectoris!
I don't know how I missed this if TO and JJM found it too.
It seems like you love the sports as much, if not more than the rest of us being a very active hunter (as we know from your attendance here- hahaha)
The forum is full of great threads, topics and members. You'll enjoy it here and there's always something new to learn and great folk to connect with and let your hair down and laugh with.
I'm sure we can get you a more appropriate flag soon but we do look forward to hearing more from you too.

Thanks Walshie
Just a heads up, its on when you edit your profile and a matter of looking in all the flags.
Glad it got sorted for you though

Hi White.
I'm afraid you're absolutely right about how much I participate in this forum.
Sorry if my request seemed inappropriate considering my few posts; nothing further from my intentions.
I only thought members could find it more helpful if they knew where I was participating from in order to help with any info they wanted about field sports in my country, which I'll be glad to share, by the way.
I'll try and be more active, but I'm not much of a pc man.
Alectoris
Don't take it too hard pal, I'm only speaking from the outside looking in as a member. It's down to the Mods and Forum owner/s to consider their efforts for the site.
Admittedly, if there was more customisation for the flags and any other features for members, there would be more pride in your profile and role/actions on the forum... So, yes, it would have a positive reaction but like I said. If they see you as a contributor to the forum, I'm sure they'll be pleased and happy to help you and other members out.
Don't worry about how often or not you get on here, after all it's a forum for people out and active in the field and we all understand personal lives too
You seem a good lad and it'd be great to get to know more about you- so going to check out your intro now
Take care pal and enjoy the forum when you can

Not at all pal, I'm not having a dig either but I'd have sent him a personal message. Just so there's no embarrassment for either party.
Hey ho, you're the winner of a beautiful rifle and at a good price (greater for £330 too) I hope you enjoy it and look forward to any write ups you make with it

Then what happened? :-/

Do you have a scope for it and if so, do you make sure you zero is it in every time you use it?
As for PCP's, I know Vermin Hunters TV Simon Pittaway uses a BSA Ultra and his misses one too- from someone used to air rifles, he's impressed with the cheapest BSA.
The R10 is good on all specs but I'd wait until you have the money to get one with a decent divers tank and other bits.
Pretty sure the Super10 was replaced with the Scorpion, another great rifle.
Best getting out there and shouldering a few- as I'm being told too
Need anything pal, just give me a shout

That's excellent Salty, you seem to have taken it quite naturally.
I know quite a lot of people just starting out and half of them wouldn't haven't been able to keep up with you in the past year alone.
The forums full of great stuff. Since I've started here, I've generally got better at my primary sport (air rifles) and learnt so much more than books teach.
I've also picked up a few more sports and hobbies, my latest being ferreting and using paracord. Just to give you an example of what things can lead on to.
It's a great community too, plenty of folk to share experience with and also have a laugh with too.
Keep it up pal and I look forward to hear more from you on here.
All the best,
White

Thanks Rez and I will look to get them kitted out. Some nice scopes as well
I've moved from Telford where my local was and had the AA's, my new local sells second hand naff and overpriced everything :-/
May pop to SFS on a day out and see what I come across, may ask about tuning the rifles up too- should be enough left to just do that

As to the TX200, is it any harder to cock or reload the other two rifles?
I'd imagine the cocking arm being shorter on the HC may be a little harder to reload?
Leverage can be a bitch lol

I thought carbines was more about how it all works with a shorter barrel, as to the size of the shooter?
I'm a big lad too, I've used carbines and never an issue. Never really shot a "Standard/Full Length" barrel to a time I've thought about how it works any differently but I don't imagine that being an issue either.
I'm going for the HW98 because break barrel, spring powered rifles is what hunting and air rifles is all about to me. So having a Weihrauch is a dream come true, and with it's groovy stock
The AA's I've always considered a really pretty rifle but a "meat and potatoes", essential/fundamental rifle design to own and use but I was scared off at first from all the horror stories or people chopping finger tips off.... There's a way around it and that's being sensible and conserving the time to reload as to firing another round ASAP- to no disrespect to anyone unfortunate to have this happen to them!
The TX seems like the backbone to the other two AA's. The HC seems a little nipped and tucked to cater for the "average" hunter, whilst the PS seems to be their rifle with a better design and stock with it's contours.
It's the question whether I go for the backbone, the one customised for my sport or the one with the bells and whistles?
I agree, there's not a lot in between HW97 and a TX200. Everyone has their own opinion and why, for me, there's something about the AA that I generally prefer over HW's, be that the shape, design, functionality but the fact they're the British underdog wins them over.

Data Laws

Al, it's nice to see someone else on the ball.
You have to forgive me as I don't follow the media, so what news is out there I'm slow at receiving haha.
I know individual companies and organisations can track you and have access to data uploaded and downloaded but the Gov itself, I though were a little behind or at least with broadcasting the news anyway.
I do take C-theories with a pinch of salt more than the next person as they either haven't happened yet to be "truth" or actual proves facts and how they'll slot together or they based on history with little proof than the internet or minuscule information.
The digital world isn't safe and not just from governments.
