    No I didn't mean sex, although............ anyway, I was referring to my P35 that I sold a little while ago. It was a garden gun and to that end it performed very well hitting an empty pellet tin hanging in one of the trees to piss the starlings off so the finches and bluetits can get the fat balls in peace along with shooting at targets on a sunny afternoon or knocking off a few ferals in the barn of one of our perms although I do have an old springer to do the job but as you lot know, I have a love / hate relationship with springers, it's hate at the moment so I miss the P35. We have had a

    Oh Mitch you can be so cutting at times even though it may well be true.

    Not sure if that is set in stone yet as we have not reached the final deadline as yet although it is a pretty good sign unless I have misunderstood and it is already finalised.

    Always good to see new young blood coming into the sport. Welllllll, now the Verminator is buggered, I will look after it for you Jimmy

    Thanks guys, I agree with your thoughts on mullet, very tricky to say the least but an old friend of mine was an England junior team member, coach and bloody good angler was telling me yesterday that he has caught two mullet in his life although never really targetted and next year we will be going for them in 4 local venues where we know they can be found. I went out with the new outfit yesterday for the first time, not fishing just casting as it has been a good 10 years since I fly fished and I could not believe how rusty I was, timing was out.................messy, so my friend above

    I am a bit of player when it comes to fishing in the sense that I am a carp angler, lure angler, some general coarse angling, sea angler and casting instructor and I used to be a fly angler, well as the saying goes, 'what goes round, come around' and I have just bought myself a new fly rod and reel although as I gave away all my flies (big mistake) I will have to start again. Nothing unusual here except I don't expect to be going for trout other than the odd occasion, I will in fact be using the new kit for coarse fish including carp and in the salty stuff, bass and mullet. I used to kayak

    My buddy saw one in Pickering Guns on Thursday and did a mini video of it but it is on my phone and I simply don't know how to load it on here. It is not showing on the Hawke website yet.

    Hawke have just launched their version of the Nitesite nv system, I thought you would want to know Mitch...............................

    Welcome aboard Anthony but I feel you may be a little late on this one, in fact 9 years to late not that it matters, just join in. Phil

    There are a few companies who make a chassis for different guns that are used for specialist target shooting so it may be worth looking in that direction as the only place likely to have them is the in target shooting world. Phil

    Ideal for a bit of fun in the garden and possibly to fit a 'Tin Bum' kit to get the best out of it. Phil

    I could not agree more Mitch, a very lucky lad, I still want 1st refusal though if you sell it. Phil

    My buddy has an SMK something or other pcp pistol, which has already taken a number of rats, squirrels and rabbits but all at 10mt which is a set distance from his office window to the boundary and he uses JSB Exact RS which are the lightest pellet in their range and does a perfect job. Give them a try. Phil

    Interesting thought Pete and one I may do at a later date. As I get older I find the longer gun to be too heavy, not the case with my shotguns but moving targets are a different situation neverthelss it would be worth borrowing a few guns from the rfd, fitting diopter sights and see how we go.

    I agree the pheasants in Chatsworth are extremely tame, I spent many hours there with my girls who loved watching all the deer, we keep talking of going back over and taking a walk round there and Bakewell. Phil

    Cheeky pair of barstewards, I have never jelled with those fcuking twangy guns. What a wonderful idea Neil you are clever, a piece of card to see the groups and try different pellets, well who would have thought of that ....................... and yes I am a shit shot with a springer unless in a full benchrest position but I really don't like them. The only springer I really got on with was my TX 200hc, superb gun but too heavy to walk round with. Give me a pcp any day of the week, I have taken hundreds of rats and rabbits freehand with my FX Wildcat / Impact fac. I said 20mm Mitch

    I wouldn't shoot them with a sub 12 but have done with my fac air on a few occasions.

    I would have thought that you would know this after taking Ethan out shooting for some years Jimmy but my two penneth, HW30 or an s/h Ultra but there again there must be something in the Kral range for not a lot of money. My 9 year old grandson using the trigger stick tripod used that P35 I had pretty well, shame it's sold. I am sure you will pick the right gun Jimmy. Phil

    With more than 25 years use, my two Conoflex Flattie Fanatic sea rods were needing some TLC and more so a rebuild was on the cards. I stripped all fittings, threads and varnish taking the rods down to blanks then passed them on to an old friend of mine who enjoys earning a few quid on a hobby which makes old rods look like new. I should say these are exceptional fishing rods that punch way above their weight, not distance rods but fantastic FISHING rods and even though they are only 11.5' they have landed some decent fish over the years. Tonight I poped to our sea wall to see if there wa

    A couple of weeks ago following a 'wanted' asvert in the sales section of another forum, someone was wanting an HW35, told him of mine and he bought it. Last week I decided to sell my P35 / WTC scope as they got very very little use and within a few hours it was sold, packed then posted the next day. Now I do have a BSA Mercury springer with a tinbum kit in and it does shoot quite well, in one of my trees in the garden I have a pellet tin hanging so when the starlings come calling, scaring off all the other birds, I shoot the can which scares them off but the other birds seem to know it is to

    THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

    • For Sale
    • Used

    As the title, I have my P35 .22 pcp for sale, manufactured date 17 - 3 - 21 and is printed on the original box the gun will be in. I think it would be fair to say a max of around 2000 pellets has gone through the gun and is in very good overall condition. The reason for the sales is that I simply don't use it other than a bit of plinking in the garden as all my hunting is with my FX fac gun so nothing wrong with this. Also with the package is one original 8 shot mag and two 11 shot Calm mags which are superb. Included in the sale is a Huggett mod but also the rifle comes from the factory with a series of aluminium shimms and shroud cap but I preferred the set up with a replacement inner felt tube and final mod, it is a two minute job if you want to revert back to factory set up. There is also Philippines manufacture White Tail Classic scope, 1.5 - 5 x 20mm WA, model number 800051, fitted with Butler Creek flip up lens caps. The package price is £365, can be collected from North Lincs or posted. Please note this is advertised elsewhere so first come first served.
