Defiant

[Rez 4,961]

What’s everyones thoughts on this pup then? Getting me sen a new game basher soon, and for some reason I can’t stop thinking about it. The only thing that I’m not quite feeling is the trigger guard shape and the weight, having held one. 9lbs unscoped... for a pup!?

The list is, at the minute

BSA Defiant, 110 carbine, Wildcat, Ultra Cayenne and the AGT Vulcan. Preferring a sporter to be honest... 

Any other suggestions welcome?

Im going for something super small as I’ve just got a new proper roost perm, in proper dense woodland and pigeon breast is THE number one underrated game dish. It’s worth getting something new to drop the feathered sods.

as an edit, love the ligature that roboto adds to the title of the post. The way the f joints the dot of the i...

I do like how the Defiant looks but, I'd give it a swerve purely for the spik element - it's a fair wad of cash for Gamo unreliability mate.

 

From your list, I'd go for the Wildcat. But, if I was after a new 'pup, I'd be having a Cricket - if you've never tried one, they're well worth a look

 

Anyway, are you properly qualified to roost shoot pigeons?

 ....... I've never seen any pictures of pigeon head drawings in any of your posts. I've never seen a shooting zimmer frame in your pictures.

You can't just pile into these things willy nilly you know

Sorry Rez - I just read your post again. I understand now mate - it's a 'read between the lines' kinda thing. Gotcha

 

New perm', dense woodland, plenty of pigeon (because they've been safe in there until now ), you need a really small rifle.

 ........ I used to have a *cough* permission like that.

 

If you can find one, an Edgun Lelya is fantastic for the job - it'll fit easily inside your coat so that your body warmth can reduce the risk of shot to shot variation caused by the cold weather

Also, storing your rifle like this leaves your hands free to throw the dogs ball and carry the lead

 

Try visiting your new 'perm' when it's raining - the pigeons will settle down on the trees and, there'll be less people around scaring them away

 

Hope this helps mate

I would go for the Vulcan, it’s head and shoulders above all the rest, Jon is right the cricket is excellent, but dare I say the Vulcan is better.

That's the first time I've seen a Vulcan and from your pics on the other thread, they look quite smart

I saw the BSA 'effort' before it was launched and what a crapy badly balanced crock of shite as you will see in May. I have owned two Wildcats which I thought we're a sheer pleasure to own and use. 

I am still enjoying the 110k, a really nice little gun.

I want to try a Vulcan because I have never heard a bad word said about them.
