  1. In my opinion .177 as it has a flatter trajectory and you don't have to guess about holdover as much as you would with a .22 and in my opinion that makes it more forgiving with accuracy, but accuracy for the shot placement for a clean kill becomes more important. Get some prometheus pellets and get blasting .
  2. ,may come back down later on before dark, as its only 3 mins drive from my house. How did you get on then?
  3. I was real tempted to go out tonight solo with the shotgun, had a plan worked out n all GO on then, at least your getting action at the moment. I went out last night and saw bugger all apart from a few miserable rabbits.!
  4. I look forward to hearing some stories about shooting in NZ
  5. Some great photos there. I often wonder whether I should take my camera out but I always worry I will drop it orleave it somewhere by accident lol!
  6. Great pics there with some great terrain!

    Cartridges

    For ducks a 35gram and for Geese 52g or 63g
  8. If you are looking at upto £300 then try getting a Yukon Digital Ranger 5X42. Does the job well for under £150 from Conrad electronics www.uk1.conrad.com This is great for spotting upto a couple of hundred yards, and being digital has the added advantage that is can be used in ordinary light without knackering it.
  9. Try getting a couple of battery powered pecking decoys to add a bit of movement and realism to the pattern. I have a rotary but to be honest I find that I get just as much success without it.

  11. Nice catch. What do you do with the rabbits....gamedealer or dogfood?
  12. Vey very nice...I take it you didn't tell the wife how much it actually cost!
  13. I have not had the opportunity to shoot one that close, sounds great! You should have saved the bullet and just speared it with those sticks.
  14. If you a definitely going to use a shotgun then better to go for either a double barrel or a semi-auto. But if it is a cas of someone has a mega cheap single barrel then why not give it a go. How much is it going to cost you?
  15. Glad to see you still getting plenty of action. It was still fog up this way! I feel like I am getting withdrawal symptoms ..... I just want to get out and blast a few foxes lol!
  16. I treated myself to a Yukon Digital Ranger NV Monocular so when me and my mate are out foxing both get to see what the other can see with the NV on the rifle and both get to see the kill.
  17. Tick Tock Xmas is nearly here and no doubt money will be burning holes in pockets. Now is the time to start spending on guns and accessories, so what have you all got your eyes on!
  18. I would second that.....It follows the saying 'buy cheap you buy twice'! save yourself the misery bite the bullet and spend a little extra.....why take the chance?
  19. Probally insulation then a membrane , then brick. Easier to fix to the floor and less likely to compromise your NHBC!
  20. I had 3 cabinets checked that way....just stuck his head in the loft and that was it lol!....I did hear of another one locally that the bugger was swinging off it with all his might!..I guess I got lucky.
  21. Good luck and remember to put on your thermals lol!
  22. I had the same problem. Coach screws will be fine. You may find you need to drill a couple of extra holes in the back of the cabinet to ensure you get enough solid fixings on the rafters. Lets face it by the time it takes someone to break into my house (without my two neighbours who are policemen,get past the dog, get into the loft, break into the cabinet, then lets face it they bloody deserve them after all the effort lol!
  23. Are you trying to dig for foxes in Australia lol!
  24. If you do a bit of research you will probablly find that they are both made in the same factory in Turkey. I have a webley 810f wildfowler and I believe at that time they came from Turkey, hence this explains why it is useless! lol!
  25. Are you shooting targets or live quarry sucha s foxes?
