  1.  

    just looking for new ideas on a new catch box ... any ideas ???

    £5 tub from screwfix, bit of sponge, it also depends how good you are on a catty, I came home the other day and my son was having a pop but as a modern lad more used to a games console than a catty he has hit shit out my shed and thought he was doing well just hitting the catch box, so he could do with a bigger one if I,m honest, the row of bb dents along the top edge of the shed brought his fun to an end as my neighbour has a glass conservatory right behind my shed

     

    lol Oh dear

    that looks the nuts ... how much tho ??

  3. I was working up that way and was told he was the nuts with springer tuning .... so I took it to him and asked for the best he could do .... he charged me £110 quid for a stainless spring guide and top hat (polished) new spring and trigger work and polishing .... when I got it back the first 20 or so shots were mint then it down hill rapidly ... a mate at Iden ferns had a quick look ... it was full to the brim with shite grease the spring had just been cut down and not very well not flattened at the end or polished to leave a smooth surface ... the trigger was so light it was a danger to shoot ..... so other than the polished spring guide and top hat all original parts went back in but cleaned of all the gunk ... so now pretty much standard but shoots a dream .... still want it properly tuned tho , just by someone who really knows what there doing .....

     

    lesson learned do my home work next time

  4. well after getting messed around a tad a few months ago and taking a bit of advice off a few more qualified than I , I decided to keep the 97 and have given it a right leathering over the past month ... trying to force myself to use it properly and learn for that matter .

     

    They truly are a thing of beauty and mine is devastatingly accurate out to 38-40 yds. .... its only me that needs to learn to shoot beyond that .... but it will come (said the bishop to a hooker).....

     

    Really want the wooden (walnut) stock for mine though..... now realise they look so much better than the synthetic version I've got ..so if anyone has a 97KT walnut stock there is cash waiting and ill collect if not to far

    oh believe me I've already come across that ... met a lad last year through work who wanted to share permissions .. I asked to see his insurance all looked ok so I took him at his word ... spent a few nights on one of mine had about a dozen rabbits each night ... went to quote un quote HIS lol permission which he said belonged to his uncle and was part of his uncles land .... happy days I thought loads of land ... it turned out after we were accosted by an angry farmer it wasn't his uncles land at all , I made my peace with the farmer and rapidly put my gear away and went straight up to the house to see his uncle .. and he put me straight the prick knew full well we were on land that his uncle didn't own ...

     

    Def wont make that mistake again lol ...

  7. terrier and smoker pal. i know its not airgunning but if it keeps you 2 acres of rabbit shooting. sometimes shooting aint an option.

    he wont have dogs up there mate , I suggested it to him as soon as I saw it but he's a bit of an old eccentric bloke and very stuck in his ways ... he said the dogs would scare the chickens which to be fair all run loose within the small pens ... shame as a good mate has 2 patterdales which ive seen working and are unreal to watch ... never seen dogs move as quick

  8. just picked up a new permission on a small holding that has a bad rat problem , they have buried under the guys 3 chicken pens and a little duck pond .

     

    because of the layout of the place there are only 2 places to shoot from and the furthest away is about 12 yds down to the closest about 5 yds .... went up in daytime and night with NV and lamps but was having so many pass throughs with pellets I gave up after an hour (hit about 15 picking up about 5 ) not good ..... tried baiting them further away from there holes today to no avail ... as there is so much food about for them they wont stray far .

     

    he cant use poisons for obvious reasons and has tried trapping them but to slow a process so offered it to me along with his 2 acre wheat field full of pigeon and rabbit ...so want to make a good impression on the rats and get a freezer full of fur and feather .

     

    Tried crosman destroyers in hw97 and hw100 and there terrible in both ...

     

    any tips people on pellets or anything really lol ..
