Dropped the boss at work and headed for my perm as the rain had stopped,what a mistaka da maka .2 sections of road under water and the kia swam through safely .Got there ,loaded up and set the thermal searching but you could see my usual warrens basically under water.So plan b off to the high seat see if the howling vixen across the next valley would bring a friend as my .22 was wanting to scratch an itch.

After an hour of more bleddy rain i get the stuff this im going home idea as the foxes were sensible and went  to mcdonalds or somesuch.So off i trott along the fence of death valley <terrible collapsing Badger wrecked mess> and 2 bunnies are happily chewing the fat in the driving rain so i takes aim kneeling at the head of the left hand and the impact gives him the spins up and over routine .His mate legged it so i pops me head over to see my dinner rolling down slope.Over the fence goes me and slides like an elephant on ice past the bunny.After much french language and a branch from a bush as a crutch dinner is recovered and i crawl back over the fence.Now dripping with mud me and my tea slipslides back to the car and he donates his bit to the fox bait pile .Luckily i had time to go home and throw all in the washing machine before picking "her" up from work as its hard to drive with a cz for a suppositry .Anyone with amphibious warfare training ideas gratefully received

Well done for going out in the bad weather. Way it's been lately if you don't go out when it's wet, you don't go out at all.

Or you could take a tip out of the airgun section's book and only go out when it's 70 degrees +, sunny and 0% chance of rain. :D

Aye but paying £700 a year don't mean the own it , and those little sticks rattle about and its certainly ruining a good walk and who dresses them Steve Wonder LOL  it never rains on a golf course anyway i often take the mutts out there when its hissing down  its only across  the road and i think i might have the place to myself but there's always somebody dafter than me  i just want a nose about but they are knocking a wee ball about a field . I used to put a few traps down but they would surely go walkabouts  now  there's a few dog walkers follow your footsteps in the grass to see what you where up to and theres a young lad with a whippet type  just stands and watches you but i think hes a sandwich short of a picnic  .I can remember when they would close the course and i would get a call and i could have a day practically doing what i wanted but they never do that now  if folk pay they want access 24/7

      Hello all.?
      Just an update as it has been a while.I have been looking for a subsonic .22LR hollow point that shoots well from a cold clean bore and have recently started using RWS subs which do well, typically from the first shot..I have used a few different brands of subsonic H.P.s and they all group quite well after 5 or so fouling shots, but RWS like the cold clean bore,needless to say I am a happy and for me, decent shooting.?.I have used the RWS before in the old Annie 1416 DG and it was equally consistent in that rifle.
      A couple of typical below all from a cold clean bore..My scope is a Hawke Vantage x2 -x7 32mm A.O. with illuminated reticle which is a great field scope but lacks magnification for target shooting so is sometimes difficult to deduce if a shot has been pulled, but I love the scope.
      Have a good weekend all.?

      Well I got 2 unused table clamps and a need for stability. 
      Cant afford the new style tripods <on furlough pay>,so I thought make your own. So drill n tap m10x1.5 in the base of said bracket .
      Cut 2 pieces 7.5x3.5cm steel plate and fix to clamp .Drill hole and fit split pin to stop wind out in turnscrew. Then cut leather patches to fit and bond with contact adhesive, allowing 24 hours  to cure and Bob's your job.
      Stable, free and hands free atb

      Friday night thought i,d have a pre pheasant delivery fox mooch .Pardnv 007 on a Hawke Vantage 3-12x50 on top of a cz452 in,22.l/r but with CCI segs in for mr charles .
      Also my spanish pal wanted some bunnies for the b,b,q <his fault the weather,s gone pooh>so the segs  do both ,set off about 10.30pm in squalid dirty patchy fog but i thought helps me to hide and the thermal spotter keeps mr charles in view .4 frustrating hours later old charley boy is a no show so back to the car i stomp.
      Suddenly a suicidal rabbit just pops up from his hole and stares at this big lump in the fog ,well at 10yds even this blind old blinker couldnt miss ,the Pard,s clear unfuzzy picture is sweet and no 1 is bagged after gutting . A nice size buck <meal for 2 > carry on plodding .
      Across the meadow towards the gate a small blobb is being chased by a horny blobb so i put the rifle up and the doe is no 2 for the bbq .Gutted and bagged back to the car i trots.
      Wish id got this sooner its far superior to Photon and sony camera or hawkes own monocular for image quality and range atb and good hunting

      Got chance to test Gavs balls this afternoon! That sounds all wrong!!
      The balls Gav kindly cast and sent me I mean.
      I used an old sign that's lay in the grass for years. Take a look and I will explain.

      I was aiming for the P at 30yds.
      The two shots close to the P and the shot just above them two were the best load chain today. The high one was the aiming, I was seeing to much barrel and the following two responded perfectly to my adjusted hold.
      The other three were a different load and unsatisfactory.
      In saying that the sign easily represents a small deers chest and all six shots would of killed a deer!
      With the good load I should be able to hunt rabbit with.
      Here is the reverse side of the target.

      I love this fusil, it has a fast lock and gets good speed up.
      Got some squirrel with shot too.

      Cheers  Gav, now I know it's worth getting a mould.
