    I've always wondered how they get on with the.17 HMR in the good old US. I mean, if they generally can't moderate their rifles, there're dealing with 155 dB or there abouts!

    Yo don't gangster shoot! They all seam to hold their guns sideways!
  3. David Aiken
    Yep! Just viewed my post on iPhone 6. All good, it's all sideways on the laptop!

    This is the target from the hood of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The target is hard to see @ 135 yards! Very pleased with the performance of the .17 HMR. Took my first rabbit with this calibre today @ 125 yards, perfect head shots. Amazing the size and depth of the dent in the 1/4" steel plate @ 100 yards!

    If you've never shot targets further than 15 yards and rifle isn't even zeroed at the distance you expect to shoot quarry, I'd take the rifle, zero in then practice getting within that distance of your quarry. You'll still have a great day and be prepared for the next `live` trip.

    I have a Browning Buckmark semi-auto 22LR, but you wouldn't catch me using it inside a structure! That's why I have the CO2 pistols -- for rats in me chicken shed, for example. No ricochets, and no holes in the corrugated iron! Why? How do you think an injured horse/cow etcetera is dispatched if there's no vet immediately available? Usually shot at close range? Snared or cage trapped, yes outside if possible, but we are talking humane dispatch of a trapped/injured animal, not a regular occurrence as with dispatching for food or shooting vermin. With a light .22 ammunition load th

    Its a pity we cant use one of these! http://www.ruger.com/products/sr22Pistol/models.html The obvious choice for humain dispatch, and cheep! No chance of suffering as with a single shot low powered air pistol! The red model could be the only one allowed and just for humane dispatch.

    I've used my Tempest .177, I didn't find it had the power to dispatch. Now I use a HW45.

    I had a 3 gun.........5 gun.........7 gun...........now I have the one I should have purchased in the first place.......a 15 gun plus a separate ammunition safe. What ever else happens in life, the number of guns you own will only increase!

    Should have got a CZ452! Ammo&Targets 015b.jpg Can't remember for sure now if it was 50 or 60 yards...think it may have been 50! 3, I say 3 rounds? Is that a test? My Anschutz can consistently hit the bull at my shooting club and that's smaller than a 5p! I was talking about a mm or so out whereas the HW100 is pellet on pellet . Were you just grouping or trying for the `cross`? Let's see 50 rounds as a test!
  13. David Aiken
    Great wood, lovely to hold, 14 shot magazine, not bolt action, way more accurate than my 1417 Anschutz, shoots pellet-on-pellet @ 35 yards! Looks the part, does the job (extremely well!)

    Minus 10% = 57.6 mpg, I could live with that! I was getting 46 mpg so that`s minus 27% on their official figures, that's taking the micky!
  18. David Aiken
    What engine is that fiesta? Is that local or motorway? 46.5mpg is piss poor. I can get that driving round town in my Vectra. Much more on long distance runs. That's why we got shot of it! All that monthly expense and poor fuel figures. Now we have a 2000 Peugeot 106 and get the same mpg!
  19. David Aiken
    Are people really so gullible as to believe anything anyone who's in business to make a profit for themselves and their share holders says? Our Fiesta, leased from new quoted up-to 64 mpg. Now, I'm someone who can obtain 18.6 mpg out of a 1998 4.0lt 6 cylinder Jeep Grand Cherokee yet I never bettered 46.5 mpg from our 'new' Fiesta! http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/20/mitsubishi-motors-mishandled-fuel-economy-tests

    My boss from 1985 said "one day you realise I'm the best boss you'll ever have" Being young and naive I didn't take much notice. Years later I realised he'd sold the company and the shares were put into our private pensions, I received £22000! It's now worth around £81000. Basically a 'free' pension!

    I was on my vermin shoot so went back and forth between vermin with the .22lr Anshutz 1417 and zeroing the Browning T-Bolt. I didn't notice either the trigger or thumbhole when changing between the too.
  22. David Aiken
    Took the new Browning T-Bolt 17 HMR out for the first time today. After just 20 or so shots the group was tight @ 120 yards. The rain came down before I set up the 150 yard targets, but i'm well pleased with the results so far. The triggers sweet and the T-Bolt ultra fast! Just need the cantilever scope mount to turn up for the correct eye relief. Today quick test came out at about 1 1/8" groups, this was without a decent rest for the gun and my first time using the HMR. All-in-all a pleasing day!

    .243! Cover most UK requirement and as you have 600 acres..........

    A customer had a red Ferrari, not sure what model. Registration number: RED 666
  25. David Aiken
    I'll be doing some zeroing as well, no problem using 200 rounds per day :-) 300 mile from Kent that puts you around the Yorkshire area, with all that lead flying around may be a good idea for me to stop in doors for a week Ha Ha! Going right to left! Ending up in Exmore!
