    other things that with on the steaming front is if you get a damp cloth and press it against the stock with an iron or a heated spoon, that creates the steam more locally....

    I think what seems to be the general concensus, as dave says is dark, cloudy and a little wind, I guess, (and I've found this with rabbits and squirrels so why not for foxes?), is that the first nice day after a really crappy wet windy weather system blows through, everybodys out making the most of the nice weather. personally I'd like something like 70% cloud cover with a half moon so I can see where I'm going at least, but not so light that you stand out and cast a shadow, as I shoot on foot and don't particularly want to go falling down rabbit burys and ditches!

    yes, it sounds like a left handed gun, for a righthander, if you look at the gun from the top (ie rib uppermost), the stock will be bent to the right of the centreline of the bore, for a lefthander it will be bent to the left to move the bore over to the eye, as at least with my head, my eyes aren't directly over my shoulders if he does decide to get the stock steamed, i'd get the drop (up/down) as well as the cast (left/right) done at the same time, then there's no excuse for the gun not fitting

    shorter barrels handle quicker, grad a rake and try and swing it about by one end of the handle, then hold it halfway down, when you can change it's movement easier, for that reason I like 38" barrels, they handle, mount and swing a bit quicker, and they don't weigh as much which is a bonus for lots of walking, longer barreded guns seem in vogue ATM with clay shooters and high driven birds as they maintain their momentium better and help you follow through, I don't find I have that issue with my 28" barrels. you choose what works best for you!

    I really don't understand how this happened, if the bollt was closed how would that affect the magazine? I'm struggling here, was it the chambered round that when fired caused this or one in the magazine? as for the cases splitting, that has nothing to do with the different manufactiurers, it's puely down to the manufacturing process, when they draw the case out from a disc, they put the priming compound in the case rim before they create the shoulder to accept the bullet, subsequently they can't anneal the case to relieve the stress caused by forming the neck as they'd set off the priming

    as I'm sure you know, shotgun shooting is very dependent on the gun fit, as the gun needs to fit, so that when you bring the gun up to your shoulder, your eye needs to be looking down the middle of the rib without you having to crane your head over. you can shoot with a left handed gun, I've tried it but it's very arkward, so when you're out shooting you'e got the shot AND the gun position to think about especially when snap shooting, so hardly codusive to good shooting, I recommend you either get the stock steamed back, or buy a different gun.... basically, poor form from the gun shop, letti

    with regard to rifle, what about the remington model 7 or the kimber rifles, both lightweight and handy...

    I've not seen or heard anything on the Winchester, but the beretta has been around for ever and they seem to be unbreakable, shooting schools use them, and they must put thousands of rounds through them every year, I have a silver pigeon s and it's great, fits me really well, I think it fits joe average pretty well as well, nive pistol grip, not too steep, great trigger, good ejectors, the whole package, you'll easily be able to find a decent second hand beretta I'd go with the beretta personally.

    sure there's 'owt to say that such a light load won't kill a fox, nor nothing to say that your 4s won't kill a fox, similarly, you could quite easily kill a deer with a .22LR, but you wouldn't go after a deer with a .22, what the guys are saying is, and I second it,m is that you shouldn't shoot a fox with 28gm of 7.5s, which is a clay load (tbh i wouldn't really go after any quarry with a load like that, apart from perhaps partridges, woodcock or decoyed pigeons, my load of preference is Eley Grand Prix 30gm 6, a smashing load, but that's for another day), we don't know the whole circumstance,

    I don't have either, it takes a bit longer, but I just use a bit of leg work

    I think so long as the item is marked as a gift, or for personl use, then you'll be fine, I've ordered things from the states and didn't have to pay anything apart from the shipping, customs might get a bit upset if you buy gun parts without telling them what you're bringing in though, there may be some paperwork to do seeing as they're actually barrels and not just a cosmetic thing or a trigger part say.... I think Briley make some tube sets like what you're after, you might be able to find a stockist and then get them to include them next time they place an order....

    I recently bought a red filter for the same lamp (170mm lightforce) it's amazing how much light it does cut out, really you now have a 150-200m beam, should be great for skittish bunnies.
  13. danebrewer10
    Cheers for that, interesting, where'd you get the info from?
  14. danebrewer10
    beaten to it, I just made those for people like yourself, who want and need a bit of guidance, just a shortcut to reading and searching on the net, plus I had a bit of free time to kill.....

    Cheers for the link mate, Notice some of them say "restricted as per conditions on an FAC for Humane dispatch" What restrictions is that? Thanks that'll be restricted to the number of rounds that can be held in the magazine, for evolvers, they just hammer in a steel plug in all but two of the cylinders just with an interference fit, there was a thread a while ago that said that they just restrict the magazine capacity of the auto handguns similarly, but seeing as they're built to strip down to clean and replace magazine springs, not to mention that you can just swap it for an u

    I have a Lightforce 170 striker i think is the model name.... I could be wrong- anyway the one with the 170mm lens size, I really like it, super powerful beam with the filter off, slap on a red filter and it cuts the beam down quite considerably, but right on the money if you like me tend to do a lot of faffing about before the shot.... I really should work on that...., pretty light weight, the only thing is that the reflector has a textured back and you've got to be careful that your zips and poppers don't touch the back of the reflector or the makr quite a racket, so that needs sorting, prob

    nice work, but surely it should be Capreolus and Vulpes? does anyone actually know where the names Charlie fox and reynard actually come from?

    I just take my SAK apart and leave in a bucket of hot water and fairy liquid for a few minutes and then give it a scrub with a bottle brush and toothe brush, it dosen't shift the stuck on residue on there, but it gets rid of everything else and then let it thoroughly dry before you reassemble it.
  20. danebrewer10
    huh, an interesting post, shame noone else is! I personally really like single shots, I don't own one, but they do look great, you might want to look at Merkel, Krieghoff, and Blaser, not cheap by any means, but they do look the business, as for extraction? I can't see anything being a problem, seeing as it is effectively a shell lifter found in non ejector shotguns......

    aye bang on the money....
  22. danebrewer10
    I clean mine every time I shoot, after I've finished, I seldom shoot more than about 20 rounds even when zeroing, and I don't really notice much if any of a degredation in accuracy, you don't need to clean it every 10 shots, if you leave it untill you reach 50 shots, then the powder residue in the barrel will attract moisture and could lead to the barrel rusting, plus you'll make it harder to clean next time. I also don't notice any loss of accuracy after cleaning, my Anschuetz is right on the money.
  23. danebrewer10
    I don't think the loss of 4" really makes that much practical difference, a longer barrel as others have said = greater velocity, but in shooting terms, not much. as for the bulllets? the Ballistic tips are messy sure but then just head shoot them as even if you body shoot them with the SP bullets, it's still gonna make a mess, I manage to head shoot all of mine, except for the very small ones, and the carcasses are clean as a whistle, no internal bleeding at all, unless you hit the neck or top of the chest, then it's messy, the ballistic tip is also fine for foxes, just keep the ranges suitab

    as Sidelock said, a sideplated gun is just that, a boxlock with side plates which are only there for decoration, the other thing with sidelock guns is that they are supposed to have better trigger pulls than boxlocks, though when you're actually shooting I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference..... so in answer to the question- nothing appreciable in terms of performance, just the price and how purdy she looks!

    I think the thing with ruger 10/22s is not just that they can choot well and especially if you want to spend money on them, then the sky's thwe limit in terms of personalisation and costomisation, plus the cost to go with it, it's the same as owning an Anschuetz, a CZ will probably shoot as well ( I know I've said this before) it's the pride of ownership, same as people who buy blueprinted remmy actions or badger, stiller, lawton, and border, krieger, lilja barrels and H&S precision, bell & carlson or whatever stocks, or even an RPA or Alpine rifle, (perhaps Sako fits into this "custom
