    I have never shot a deer so forgive my ignorance but what do you mean when you say it was ' clean ' as I can't work that one out. We have a lot of deer in the part of Lincolnshire where I live, in fact I have seen quite a few wander into the village and many a night when I have been out on the rabbits, the deer showing up on the nv were only 40 - 50 yds away. The ones we have thought of shooting are the muntjac which are getting more common but not sure if an hmr would be suitable as I only have .22lr, sako quad with hmr and wmr barrels. I was told the muntjac are a bit of a bugger to

    Just as a matter of interest Jason, is it the calibre you didn't get on with and if so in what way didn't you get on with it or was it the gun that was a problem. Phil

    That is a nice rifle with a good reputation, you shouldn't go far wrong with that Jason, I am well pleased for you mate. I will have another 110 compact our Jimmy simply because I loved my two and no faults found but I do accept they have had problems although mine were fine, my buddy has two which are fine, his son has one which is fine and another pal has two which are fine.....................................................I only know I like the hw110 compact for lightness and they were spot on accurate but if the pension would allow, it would be another Wildcat in sub 12.........

    Whatever the gun, I just want another rat perm, ours is shot out so nothing but feral pigeon there now and I really miss rat shooting. My favourite type of shooting with an air rifle.

    TWAT...................................who the hell has told you ? Phil

    Yes I think it does which is why I use a stock extender and that allows you to shoot with more or less the correct position for your head. Nite Shite as Mitch calls it, may not be the best screen type out there but it has helped me to shoot hundreds of rabbits and thousands of rats so they DO work but as said they have gone bust but you could build your own or my pal builds them for about £110.

    I still have two 'NiteSite' screen systems although rarely used now, I would never sell them as they are by far the best system for ratting around buildings although Villaman will be on shortly and MAY disagree ?. Pard seems to be the most popular add-on nv with the 007v being the main one but they have relaunched the 007s which is a compact version but we tried it out with poor results. I bought a neoprene stock extender/recoil reducer so that I can set the scope position in the right place for daylight shooting then just pop on the stock extention with the 007 and the gun still feels as it

    A pcp pistol will only be a maximum of 6fpe with most spring pistol less than that. I have a few old spring pistols but the last time I put them through the Chrony they were less than 4fpe so not good enough to despatch live quarry. I did put a local river warden onto an SMK pcp pistol that was perfect for the job and seeing him later, he confirmed the pistol did the job perfectly but not sure if it was rats in traps or mink in traps, sorry just cannot remember, so it may be worth bearing the SMK in mind if you don't get any response here. This is the pistol the river warden bought.

    Cheers Stav, I have just had a phone call from our estate agents that we have a viewing on Sunday afternoon so looks like I am on 'tour duty'. Nice idea though but it will have to be another show............?, however if the cottage sells soon, I feel a new 32'' shotty coming my way.

    Really not sure what to say................. ???? BASC has lodged an official complaint with the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) following comments made by Merseyside Police around legally-held firearms. A newspaper carried quotes that the force had: “work ongoing to remove and reduce the amount of lawfully-owned firearms across Merseyside so that they don’t fall into the wrong hands”, and that “the force is prevention driven so we are looking at removing that threat before it emanates”. BASC stated in its complaint that the comments were both intimidatory an

    Are you wanting a cheapo pump because you cannot afford an air tank which will will you gun in seconds and not produce a heart attack in the process........ Phil

    Ratworks is near to you, leicester area. Ask your local rfd. Phil
  15. philpot
    Perhaps best bet is to contact an rfd locally to you and get them to send it down to the Sportsman Gun Centre to get the job done or he may be able to sort it for you. Phil

    My pal's Impact M3 is about another 10 days away but as there seem to be very few mags around, we have now sourced a stock of them at Airgun Spares so he should be okay. Phil

    Looks like it is going to be a quiet Saturday at the show as it is also the King's coronation. No madding crowds, sounds good to me.
  19. philpot
    It has not closed but had a name and ownership change, you will find it under ............. Airgunforums.co.uk ............. you will need to register again as there is no carry over from the previous site. Once in you will find it to be the same as before but you will need to do a minimum of 50 posts before you can get into the sales section. Phil

    Well for you Mitch you have to look up to the rest of us as you can't get any further south so everything is north to you. ?
  22. philpot
    Typical southerner, travel north to Oxford....................................................he is in Nottingham so Oxford is south so would have to have an injection or something going that far south Mitch ??? Phil

    Ratworks is in or near Leicester so pretty close to you akthough somebody on fb said he was really busy so a bit of a wait but worth checking. City Airguns in Lincoln could help as well. AGR Tuning in Spalding, Tony is a good guy but is slowing down the business to retire but you can try him on 07847 485 993 Phil

    Thank you.

    That is one hell of a price, my shooting buddy has ordered a new M3 sub 12 in .177 but that is about £1700. If it has not been messed with by some dick head trying to TWEEK the power up then it should be a snap at that price. Phil
