    I must admit whilst our squirrel shoot only yeilds a fraction of Mitch's perm, but out of the dozen farm perms we have, we get a few bags of wheat from each for nowt so it builds up to see us through the season on pheasants and squirrels. Phil

    Ditto, I bought these for both .177 and .22 at different times and you are spot on DB, it saves a lot of money. If I didn't find a suitable pellet in this lot, the gun would have been sold ? Phil

    WHAT GUN...................................I can't see a gun Jimmy, you been drinking again. ? Phil

    Only available in .177 I believe which is a pity as most people say how good they are. You can also get H&N in sample packs as well so you can save a fair bit of money just to establish if they work well enough in your gun Jake, I think Voymir sell those as well.

    Buy a JSB sample tin which has 7 types or sizes of pellet and well worth it. Voymir sell them. Phil

    I did a swap round of scopes last night in order to use my new Pard 007v so my two Hawke Airmax Compact 30 scopes are now on my Tikka .22lr and Sako Quad hmr as the bloody Pard doesn't like either my Hawke Varmint or MTC Mamba Lite scopes. I thought I could get away with using my Wildcat Panther .22 mod on the hmr but my god it was so noisy, a quick rumage in the drawers of the rfd and I took 5 assorted mods to test, the best was a .17 Wildcat Panther which had come in with a pile of stuff. £40 notes and I have a cracking mod and much better than £160. ? ?

    I don't think for one second a box shifter will simply change for a new gun, the service you get is proberbly better from your local rfd. Phil

    As a matter of interest, I have just been to my rfd and a guy came in who was in your position so he is keeping his guns in storage at the rfd until such time as he knows his mind a bit better, I know it is at a cost but may be worth it in the short term. Good luck with it Jake whatever you decide mate. Phil

    I have reason to be looking at security for a pal and the police gave me this link as it covers all aspects of gun security, look at page 9 which covers fitting a cabinet to a caravan so if it is possible to do that, you may find something in here that suits you. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/953881/Firearms_Security_Manual_2020.pdf Phil

    Now you have the 007v, have you found to be suited to all your scopes Mitch.

    Strange........................... I will just try again. Phil

    Well I have spent a bit more time playing around with the new 007v 12mm and although it has taken me a little time to get there but I like it, pity it doesn't like all my scopes. With this version of the Pard 007v using my two Airmax Compact 30 scopes I got very good results and I have to say the field the other side of my cottage wall is 130mt to the tree line and at IR level 2 and the lens halfway out, I could easily see details in the grass by the trees and the wire fence so all good. As most of you know, I have been a NiteSite user for a number of years and never had a problem with them

    All good Jon just bloody older mate....
  16. philpot
    I can tell you Jake having shot it, it is like a bloody laser. Phil
  17. philpot
    Where have you been hiding Jon, it's an age since you have been on here...................................no excuses, just back involved matey, OR ELSE ? Phil

    Sorry to hear that, it is not what anyone wants. As you have had two years on the land, it would be worthwhile asking any and all ajoining landowners / tenents as they will know the previous farmer so you can reference him as your introduction. Failing that, it is a case of hitting the road and cold calling but it is very worthwhile to speak to EVERYONE you know and that means relatives, friends and work mates if they know anyone with land, check with allotments in your area as they can get pestered to death with pigeon, rabbits and rats even churches can have major issues with pigeon althoug

    I have enough with Mitch and Jimmy without you starting Ben.......................................picking on an old gentlemen, not fair ? Phil

    My pal bought one for his .22 rimmy, totally useless as you say, flogged it for £35 as I am guessing everyone knew they were no good. Phil
  21. philpot
    Ha bloody ha
  22. philpot
    Mitch has beaten me to it Dave but I paid £36 including a £3 extra for a membership card which is worth saying, on the back gives all the benefits including payout values so good to be able to show the farmer actual cover there and then. Learn BASC learn..... Phil

    I looked at some Hawke low converters which work on the same method as BKL mounts and only about 5mm thick as I wanted them on my Sako Quad as the dovetail rails are an odd size for scope mounts. Phil

    I just joined 'Country Cover Club' insurance which gives me £100,000 for legal cover as I dropped out of basc after they dropped legal cover. I now believe we need that cover to protect ourselves and our passion for this sport as the vast majority of shooting men and women are staying within the law so police forces must be taken to task if innocent members of our sport are to be victimised in this way. I seriously hope you are not affected Mitch. Phil

    With the HMR scopes, are they based on zeroing at a certain distance/ mag. Hawke also make a .22 rimfire as well but I thought they a bit restricting in use from what I had heard. Phil
