Can you give me the address of the fishmongers up there :11: . Just kidding well done on such a big water

Just think how flat the 177 will flight at thous velocities. I wounder if the barrel will suffer damage(wear) because of the zinc pellet and what about ricochet.

: hi lads well as its the easter weekend i thought it would be rude not to have a mooch and im pleased i did it started off late sunday night we'd been up the caravan all weekend and id not had the gun out but sunday night got the better of me .id been watching the bunnys running around all day but as it was in season for the caravaners through the day was a no go with the s510 and by the time night fell the beers had been flowing so shooting ended up a no go as well lol :whistling: but sunday night was our last night and as i was driving home the next morning i didnt have a drin

Forget the semi-auto rimmy and go for a bolt action rifle ,more reliable and accurate. I had a burno farma years ago, pay £125 brand new, it would group remington yellow jacket 1 inch at 100 yards. I could easierly shoot rabbits 125-130 yards with it. The only downside with a lr is ricochets. If you can't get within yards of a rabbit you are doing something very wrong!!!

The problem is the europe has re classified lead in a more toxic band. So will a ban come into force most like, when, I don't know. Will spineless BASC stand up for the shooting people or will they just look at there own jobs and make a few noises like always.

Has anyone used the new Prometheus Thunder Bolt pellet yet?

Owed and used 17 rem for about 10 years Tikka M55 ,yes there is a few problems like barrel fouling after 15 rounds or so expensive round to purchase and sometime difficult to get a hold of, only good for 250-300 yards, bullet expansion. On the plus side if zeroed at 200 yards it is only 1/2inch high at 100 yards, very fast lock up time, low recoil and very accurate and drift I didn't find a problem out to 150 yards. Have used a Ruger MK1 22-250 and yes very good for foxes but rabbits no unless you have half an hour to pick up what is left. But very noisey. What about a 22 hornet, cheap to relo

If it is just one gun you are after ,then 22 hornet is the best bet as long as you are prepared to load your own. A hornet can be downloaded to subsonic for rabbit control or made into a little screamer for the foxes upto a range of about 180 yards. It moderateds very well and cheap to reload. It you can't be bothered to reload the look at 22wmr or 17hmr. If you are going to have multiple guns the 22 LR and 223 or 22-250

As long as the gun is proofed for 3 inch there will be no problem. Use a BoreSnake to clean the barrel , that way you do not have to strip the moderater. 3 inch eley subs are crap, just use the normal 3 inch, there is no difference in noise level and you again an extra 5 yards in range . Avoid full length plastic wad cartridge like winchesters as the wad can get stuck in the baffles and damage them. :headshot::

Its better to used a mp3 player and a cass creek big horn speaker from sportsman gun centre some good tips there. if he won't come to the call then try a different one bud(the downloads on the net are not bad at all,i find them not loud enough with my phone). the very best of luck

My favourite is Express Magnum max game No.1 46gr it pole axes foxes everytime out to 35-40 yards. AAA and SSG will suffer from poor patterns. Stick to BB or No.1 in 3" magnum 40-50gr though full choke will do the job fine. One thing to look for is a cartridge with a crimp end because this will give a better pattern

He should of ask before he bought and he may of save some money and got a better tool for the job Thats helpful, after he has said he already has a Baikal!!

If you had looked around you would have found a hushpower pedretti 410 from between £100 to £200 ,far easier to shoot than a 410 with a 9" moderater stuck on the end.
