nice one mate ive not seen one of them since i was a young lad the keeper i worked with for a year used them and had really good results he used to lock them off for a bit so they got used to going through em and then he would just take the lock off and bingo loads of rabbits in the bottom cheers mal

cheers guys for youre input so far all i am after is a decent air rifle with near to full power i have a scope allready on my old mercury but its been a pain in the arse as it keeps kicking the scope off the rails i think maybe the rails worn . so i am going to try to find an open rear sight for the mercury as its no to bad a rifle but i really have set my sights so to speak on a newer rifle. cheers mal

beauty so if a land owner decides he dont like pheasants he can arrange a shoot at anytime of year regardless of game season . if he dont want em or he cant be arsed with them then just get a few blokes with air rifles in and lets clear the place of them ,i doubt it very much and i bet you got the anti brigade chompin at the bit here just waiting for you to f*ck up and you will have em camping out on you're doorstep or youre land owners please dont thing im been a knob we should all be trying to work together to protect what feeble rights we have left and not giving ammunition to the p

lol at last i think some ones knocked it right on the head thats the point im trying to put over but you put it better than me the rifle power does not alter only the efficency of the pellet should there not be a warning on pellets then stating the the pellet may take your power over the legal limit cheers mal

now now guys this thread was about keeping within the law not ways of going around it lol cheers all for your info
-
thanks guys for you,re input it seems that you all have a similar answer like i said the only reason i asked is i have read posts stating vast differences in power useing different pellets and i intend to buy a decent rifle as soon as funds allow and i dont want to fall foul of the law in any way . and as i dont drive i will have to carry the rifle with me in a slip and also i use a trigger lock as we have loads of bag heads round here who may want to try to take it from me and if the law stops me i want to feel confident that im legal thanks and kindest regards mal

Hi guys I have been reading quite a lot on the forum about the difference in pellets and also the difference in air rifle power using different pellets so just to clear things up in my mind can some body advise me on the legality of using different pellets and what is the benchmark for testing power, lets say for instance that I use a certain pellet and I chrono my setup and it comes out at 11 lbs/f consistently . however without altering my setup I use a different pellet and chrono it again and it has gone over 12 lbs/f is this air rifle now an illegal fire arm ? and if so why the power o

thanks for all the replies i think i have found some mounts now on ebay. now my only problem is the sizes of the rail the mounts on ebay are to fit a 9.5-11.5 rail and depending on how you measure the rail its 11.5 -13.5 how is the rail measured is it the inner most edge of the rail or the outter most i hope i am making this clear and ye i bet loads of you are calling me a proper divvy

hi everyone i am have a problem with my scope mount jumping out of the dovetail on my bsa. i just get it zeroed in and out it pops with the recoil of the mercury . can any body please give me some advice as to what mounts to buy . my scope is a 3-9-56 and as i have said the rail is dovetail so the mounts need to be quite high oh ye and if they can point me in the direction of where i may get them . many thanks in advance mal
