my father and i share the same cabinet and our shotgun & firearms are now identicle.When i bought a my .223 the police said i could keep it in the cabinet but it would have to be chained and padlocked seperately within. the same with the 223 ammo. i did this for a few weeks until my father got his variation to use the 223. the police said that if we want to have 1 cabinet and 1 ammo box then our certs have to be identicle even the ammount of ammo to be stored.if not then seperate locks and chains etc are needed. cheers tone

hi Deker you say that your developing this for shooting accesories and a bit of fishing/archery etc. So i rekon that if it is mainly shooting then i would have that in the name. i voted for shootingstore. i liked the word store because it suggests that there is going to be a good selection of kit. most liked huntershop but i dont think that will google very well. cheers tone

dan i use a niko sterling 3-9 x 40.on my 22lr The 3-9 is the magnification, this means i can adjust the magnification by turning a collar on the scope and the target can look either 3 or up to 9 times larger. the '40' means my scope has a lense diameter of 40mm which is not massive but not bad. i got this scope off ebay and it is quite good but i will probably be replacing this scope sometime in the future because the clarity of the glass is not brilliant and i hate the variable magnification. I shoot rabbits from around 40yds out to 100yds and for me, i think the variable mag is a load of

hi federal and home load through my cz 527 and winchester (sub-son)through my BRNO 22lr cheers tone

i cant really click a vote button John, im a farmer and i control vermin to protect livestock and crops. I cant honestly say i enjoy shooting rabbits or rooks/pigeons that are eating my crops but i need to do it. However, i get great satisfaction in revenge, when i manage to shoot a hoodie crow thats pecked a lambs eyes out. i would go and shoot vermin for somebody else but only if i was paid. cheers tone

i live on a scottish island on the west coast of scotland and we dont have badgers. If we did and they wernt a problem then i would leave them alone BUT if there were far too many or they were causing harm then i would have no problem shooting them. For me it comes down to how rare something is. now and again(about twice a year) i see golden and sea eagles and they are amazing. IF there were hundreds of them and i saw them every day, then they would need controling and they would be shot. I definately dont Fall for the nice wee cuddly animal stuff. tone

i have a 4x28 on my air rifle and it is ok. i also have a 3-9 x 40 on my 22lr. the increase in lense diameter is really noticeable. i would recommend getting the larger lense, they make your field of view better, let in more light even if your magnification is still the same. cheers tone

i agree with jamie g. the Simmons whitetail classic is a good scope, my mate has one on his 223 and it is good quality and clear to look through. i think he got his off e-bay from USA for £110 cheers tone

hello mate not quite following you on that one! can you explain again please cheers tone

hi Deker im new to the reloading world, just got my self set up in the last couple of weeks. im loading for 223rem only. i bought a lee kit for around £120 from midway. i think the kit is basic but it seems to have everything to get started. i use nosler 55gr balistic tips which cost 23pence each. i then put in some powder which i have calculated at 11pence a round and also a primer which is 2pence. i already had Federal once fired brass so my reloaded round has cost me 36 pence. i have seen bullet heads for as little as 9pence. all the books tell me that accuracy should be enhanced. My e

cheers guys.

hi i just paced it out across a field, so i suppose its approx 100 & 200yds tone

hello just been trying out some more reloads same recipie. 55gr nosler balst tip 25.5gr BLC-2 my first 3 shots were at 100yds and i got a nice inch group. the group was a good inch high, which i want! then i shot 2 shots at 200yds and they were exactly an inch and 2/8ths apart. this two shot group was 2inchs LOW. does this sound about right? my CZ is still quite new only fired around 120 shots. cheers tone

sorry forgot; CCI small rifle primers. do you guys buy any of your reloading components(bullet heads, powder) on the web? tone

my rifle is a cz with removeable mag. my first batch of bullets fitted in with about 4mm to spare. i just fired my first 5 bullets at 125 yds. i got each shot within an inch of eachother, probably a 3" group. suppose it could be better. so i need to adjust charge and bullet depth? any ideas wich is better to try first? (BLC2 25.5gr, 55gr nosler balistc tip seated at 2.20col) cheers tone ps. i looked down the barrel after the 5 shots and it looked really clean
