  1. A Gundog is an asset that you can not live without, (if you have one), BUT they are not essential for rough shooting, I shoot over rough and hilly terrain I would not cover this ground without my Tess, she does me proud BUT being a Springer she will always think she knows best and keeping her close and flushing where YOU want her to flush can be a little bit of a headache. Springers never grow up... If you shoot over water you will need a dog without question, I wouldnt dream of shooting over or near water without a gundog. moreover to have a trusted compainion by your side takes a hell of
  2. I subscribe but I think they are on general sales about 27th of the month. But on occasion they are later. I have all "Sporting Rifle" from 8 to 39 plus to earlier ones going cheep to anyone interested PM me. John
  3. Hi As far as I am aware there is no way of changing the colour of thr IR, just the brightness. These I think are pre set and I dont think you have a choice of colour. John
  4. If you want to change your gun or add another you simply apply for a variation to your FAC. It is better to put on your ticket on application the rifles / guns you may want in the future, including the mods. the FEO can advice you when he does his visit to check your safe etc. for example, 1 .22 bolt action rimfire rifle. 2 .22 moderator 1 .22 semi auto rimfire rifle 1 .17 hmr rimfire 1 .17 hmr moderator 1 .243 cnt fire bolt action rifle 1 7 shot semi auto shotgun By doing this you will have to account for all enteries and why you want them. I did it this way and got all min
  5. BenBhoy You should be ok because you are rough shooter you will be able to get the swing right, have a go its great fun, I go to my local clay shoot which has a very relaxed atmosphere, great practice, and i wouldnt mind betting you have the speed to pick out the clays, faster than some..as for chokes well mine are fixed..so I couldnt comment. GO FOR IT, YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME, just dont expect miracles, just enjoy it. then if its for you get a little help n pointers. John
  6. Chalky, the sniper was http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/2524516 Good read though,,interesting,,,maybe they use logs for distance / alt /moisture, or just a bolistics calc, etc, etc, so they can just dial in to the target,...it did take three shots though... Still I couldnt do that.
  7. I voted fixed...Although I have zoom on my .22 CZ 452 it has been on X6 since they day I got it. Having said that I have tried the zoom only to find out that zero has moved, maybee I dont spend enough on glass. John
  8. You guy`s must have it easy, I would be lucky if I saw that many bunnies in a month let alone shoot them... NICE ONE ...Jammy buggers... John
  9. Nice one, Mine was ok, went on one of my rough shoots, Mad Dogs n Englishmen, come to mind, Tess, my Springer, worked hard, she flushed to Rabbits for me, so I just had to give them the 28g`s worth. then she`s off after the retreve, i was knackerd just waching her, it must have been 20deg +. Orther than that what can I say, a nice hot day, in the best company "Tess" and some of the best views in North Wales.. John
  10. I can remember my first shot with a .22lr.. Back in the good old 1977..open sights, at umm, must be an age thing . I can only remember getting 2 bulls, the instructer behind me, "good shooting, but your at 11 o`klock,try a little lower and you will be in the BULL". So I did. Missed by a mile. I looked behind, It was then I noticed, he was talking to the lad next to me... I dont know the things you remember, and dont forget.. Who cares anyway, memories are for yourself, to share or even to bragg about, who`s botherd? or are we all wanna be`s... As for the topic ...I just
  11. I have an SR6 on my CZ452 .22, it works just fine no trouble at all, never lost zero, cost about £100. I cant fault them, ok compaire them to lets say an s n b and there is no comparison, regarding light gathering potensial, like anything else on the market more money = better optics. The SR6 is designed for air rifles, the retical is VERY USEFUL.. Check out this link. http://www.hawkeoptics.com/riflescopes/hawkesr/index.php John
  12. Mr Logic has hit the nail on the head. The remmy is your best bet but for those 1km shots you will some special upgrades in the custum shop matey. John
  13. Mine is my bullx... I would go for the .243 it aint an over kill for anything ok, maybe the Grey.. John
  14. Not much to add to this other than, SEMI`S ARE SOMETIMES NOT ALLOWED AT CLAY SHOOTS. I would ask first. Save any embarrassment. I have a Baikal 12g old as F**k twin trigger n all, drop clays all the time.. Let the other lads have a go and they couldn’t hit a barn door from 10 paces. It isn’t the cost of the gun it’s the person on the trigger mate, I have read countless times of people buying expensive guns only to find that they can’t shoot for peanuts with it. I have also read that some guns out perform expensive guns no end. My Baikal is a cheap work a day gun fixed chok
  15. I would not bother mate, YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY AND TAKES YOUR CHANCE. As they say, But dont be fooled in thinking you are getting a good deal, the only person making money is the seller if he/she sells any, that is.. makes you wonder what they get them for. you and your rifle deserves better, trust me you will not be happy..put the money on a Hawke SR6. these were designed for air rifles, and have a retical that works for you once zeroed. Happy Hunting John
