Like with bunnies Roger, if they are hit in the head (large brain area called the cerebrum) then their nervous system gets crosswired and they kick and flap about, but essentially they are dead Even better if hit in the head by a .22 as this makes a much greater sized hole and damages more of the grey matter, but they can still flap or kick about, same be said with a .38 through the head with a catty Now if you can accurately take out or lets say decimate the little brain (cerabellum) towards the rear of the head under the ear, the animal will drop like a lead balloon. The cerabellum is

Anyone had a air rifle seized by customs
Phantom replied to bullit666's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Hi Bob, Seems we are at odds yet again :oops: My Ultra was tested by a Firearms Officer with a caliberated Chronograph at Queens Gardens Police Station's Range. It was not sent anywhere else. I had his written Statement read out to me before I was offered the Caution. Nor did they take any of my own pellets. They used their own selections. Tony -
Not quite as simple as that I'm affraid. All speciese of animal and birds are protected by law. You need a genuine lawful reason to kill them It's a minefield that needs to be navigated very carefully and above all legally. If you've got it all covered then your sorted. Are they sh!tting everywhere and in enough volume to cause a hazard to human and livestock health? Are they raiding you veg patch? Are the tree rats getting into your home and causing damage and destruction? Houses have gone up in flames when they have been chewing through the electrical wiring you know! If so or the

Phantom replied to bullit666's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Customs do not use and "Independant" tester. They may send it to the Forensic Firearms Place (forget exactly where it is exactly; but its the same place that the instructor kept live ammo in a Quality Street tin and managed to shoot on of his students! thinking it was inert! :FFS: ) Tony ps I know their "Health and Safety Expert" I've shot against her in pistol comps -

No they won't allow it to be reduced once it's hot, it's FAC for LIFE! I asked about it being sent back to the manufacturer for "Re-manufacturing" but they wouldn't have it. I -DO- have a legal "Hairsplitter" though that with the help of BASC I may be able to pull off Mine was running at 13.04 but they told me I have to apply for my FAC in order to take 'Possession' of the gun. (I just dont have any land that can be classed as FAC legal) yet, My hair splitter is that the serial number is on the action/block. If I have the 'block' (power-delivery system) destroyed and have another one mad -

If I'm correct, they can not destroy the gun without either a court order or your consent (of course your consent goes outta the window, if your charged with importing an illegal gun and then found guilty in a court of law). My gun is still in the Firearms safe in the police station, after six months they wrote to me to ask if they could destroy it, i said "No fecking way" and they said the they wont/cant destroy it without my consent Tony -

Watch this space but the rifles have been named after our channel by the designer . More to follow next year.

anyone used bushnell trophy 9-3x40 multi x
Phantom replied to jamie82's topic in General Airgun Discussion
This scope is fixed Parallax I think. You need to point the scope at a plain background and focus the crosshair using the eyebell dioptre correction ring (closest your eye). Once it is pin sharp the croshair will remain sharp throughout the mag range as will the sight picture (target) Your eyes may focus on the target at first, but once its perfectly set for your eye, the croshair should look like it is printed onto the background Tony -
Wobbly bipod? Or quite possibly Paralax error caused by your eye positioning when shooting in the prone position. Do you zero on the bench with a bipod? Tony
