    As you know, we lost our last and oldest cat a few weeks ago, well the house is going to be very active this weekend as we are picking up a mother and three kittens and one other I am picking up from Durham next week in .177 Cats rule ok Phil

    Sorry mate, I didn't read it properly. Phil

    If your dad is touching Rez, then weight and ease of cocking may have to play a part in this situation. Also ease of actually loading the pellet and .22 might be better for him to hold / load. My shooting friend of many years is 81 in a couple of weeks although you would place him in his early 70's so we are not aging the same, I am a perfect example, if you saw me, well you might place me in my late 30's............................or not. The point I am making is buy a rifle which not only suits you but one he can actually use easily. Phil

    There used to be a guy who I saw a few times at my local range who had one and loved it but he did say that he fancied an HW100 but was told that he will lose too much on his so perhaps they are not so popular. Phil

    Sounds like a cracking good deal. What barrel length is it. Phil

    Go for it and try some AA Field Heavy pellets 18gr, so accurate in mine....................................Rapid every time but I am still new to both the Rapid and FAC but very pleased so far. Phil

    Cheers Rez. It was wet and muddy down there last night but, thanfully the rain held off for us. I've kinda got my spots sussed now - there's one 5ft high shed with a clean flat roof - that's THE only place I put my rifle down on this permission You know John, some folk laugh at the Trigger Stick tripod that Mark and I use but in sh1tty conditions they are unbeatable. I was talking to an old pal in Sheffield who does some ratting and he bought one on my suggestion and thinks it is nothing short of a game changer when it comes to ratting, standing or sitting. Perhaps worth a look.

    There is a very pretty 510 supersport like Si's in my RFD Jimmy s/h..................................very very nice and it's got your name on it matey. Phil

    Nice one Mark. Went out myself today, first time in weeks and quite interesting because the nettles had died right back revealing a rabbit warren I had not been aware of before because this is my first winter on the perm. Also found a couple of places for permanent hides so on the lookout for a few pallets now but if all else fails, I will be setting up some netting and leave it all year. Unfortunately no hedgerow or thick bushey cover. Photo's next time I go. Phil

    It might be rank Si but the sport of kings mate, good on yer. Phil

    See Rez my age and eyes weren't playing tricks.............................for a moment though, I thought they were. Phil
  12. philpot
    Subtle change there Rez.

    Interesting point Mark, all the moorhens I shot all those years ago were taken on the River Derwent in Bakewell, Derbyshire which is a beautiful clear trout river so perhaps you have something there mate. Phil

    Ah, thank you, I think BASC is the way to go to be honest. Phil
  15. philpot
    Sacs, what is that
  16. philpot
    Hmmm looks like BASC then. Does their cover offer insurance on the guns themselves, I will phone and ask them tomorrow, just handy to get your feedback. Phil
  17. philpot
    I was always a member of WAGBI before BASC took over and then a member of CPSA as it was only clay shooting for many many years, just not thought about it since I started to shoot live quarry again. If I joined BASC, it would be as a full member to cover shotguns as well but are you all paying up front or monthly. Phil
  18. philpot
    Cheers guys. I had thought about joining BASC but in truth I was more interested in getting a straight cover from a company. CCC3 looks decent. Phil

    Just got a little rat perm today, not expecting much as it is a new sugar beet compound so might take a while to get going but Hey Ho, who cares. The farm manager asked if I have insurance, I of course said yes...........................so I had better get some. Now then lads, what insurance companies do you use. Phil
  20. philpot
    Ah, I see, well there is one in Sheff I would not trust a catapult with but I had better keep that one quiet. All the best with it John. Phil
  21. philpot
    It really is a good looking rifle Richard, I do like laminated stocks. Good on you getting stuck into home tuning, I'm a coward and took up the kind offer from Charlie Caller to tune my TX who really knows about tuning. Phil
  22. philpot
    Perhaps my memory is failing me but from what I recall they tasted alright although it was about 38 years ago Phil
  23. philpot
    Lovely old gun John and an interesting thread. Sheffield only has three RFD's that supposedly have gunsmiths and I doubt it was John at Hardy's so I can have a small wager that I know which one it was. Phil
  24. philpot
    Has your cooking improved at all Mark. Phil
  25. philpot
    We could make a plan here mate, boats can be hired at the mere and I have a few shotties so clays are also doable................................food for thought although a week day is always better with less people on the range. 65mt is basically 3 lanes 25mt is about 6 lanes 100mt is for firearms inc my fac rifle. 10mt for pistol etc.(indoor) All layouts are outdoor with covered shooting positions/benches.
