    Hi all As the posting title asks , i was just wondering if the barrel of a 12ft11b air rifle need to be regularly cleaned to maintain accuracy. Let me explain a bit. Basically , for many years i used air rifles for hunting and i never cleaned a single barrel ( yes , not once ) Over the years i have bought and sold numerous springers , pcp's and all different makes. All my rifles seemed to stay pretty accurate and accounted for many of our coney and fluffy tailed friends , right up till when i sold them. About 10 years ago i applied for my Rimfire & shotgun certificates and so

    Hi all I'm looking for a knockdown target that won't break the bank , that is strong enough to stop a .22 rimfire bullet. A friend told me to buy a ' Plinker Reset Target ' as they are quite cheap , but i cant seem to find a uk supplier , only ones based in the States , Regards , John http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/the-plinker-22-auto-reset-target.aspx?a=27910

    About 4 years ago when i bought my CZ Varmint .22 , i bought a cheapish scope that i had never heard of , a Walther 4 - 12 - x 50 ir Basically , i think it was one of the best buys i have ever made. It even came with a set of mounts included in the price. i have used the ir settings a few times and have bagged a few bunnies just as the light started to fade. At the end of the day , whatever you buy you are taking a chance , and for the money i think that this is a bargain , John http://www.uttings.co.uk/Product/543/103401/walther-4-12x50-ao-ir-rifle-scope/

    Spot on advice from ANTHONYCHEZ Buy what i did , an SX3 Composite 3.5'' Truly a great wildfowling gun , steel proofed , and a lot cheaper new than a Benelli or Beretta , John

    In this day and age , Who can afford to pay that kind of money per animal , Are these people millionaires or Billionaires I have been out to people that have been quoted £400 for a night regardless of success. Bear in mind that these are urban foxes for the most part, all townies are rich Keep up the good work firepower and get those charlies , you don't want to loose that job

    Nice idea but no FU#KING USE in the real world. If however you can only see 20 feet over the weeds forget it, bipods are for Rifle Ranges, Deserts and Sniper Movies.(Read EVERYWHERE except Bipod city). Get a Shooting Stix type 'stand up' rest because its the only rest worth a light in a practicle sense! AndyF This is good advice in my opinion. Recently , i too was thinking of fitting a bipod to my Cz Varmint , as a friend gave me a cheapo one a few years ago and it was never used. However , like andyf stated , it was pretty much useless , because the land on my permission is all over

    Hi all As the posting title asks , are CCI Claybuster , 28g 71/2 12g carts any good for our feathered friend the wood pigeon. A friend of mine shoots a lot of clays and reckons that these carts are fine for woodies as well. As i only ever use 32 no 6's for woodies , i thought i'd ask your opinions , as 28g seems a bit light to me , Regards , John

    I was recently thinking along those lines myself A couple of weeks ago i had a quick look in the fox shooting gallery for the first time and i couldn't believe one of the photo's i saw. A fox had been killed and it's unborn babies were laying by the mothers side. To say that i felt sick is an understatement. Come on guys , we all kill things from time to time , but is it really necessary to pull out unborn embryo's and then post pictures. And before anybody asks , yes , i have posted pics of recent kills before , but i havn't ripped open the animal and posted images such as the ones

    Hi all As a newbie to semi auto's , i was just wondering if you guys release the hammer before storing the gun , or do you leave it cocked. On my o/u i use snap caps , but with my SX3 i dont know what to do. A friend at work suggested that i put a spent cart in the barrel and use that to release the hammer , but i'm not so sure as i think i read somewhere that its better not to use this method , Regards , John

    Hi all As i havn't cleaned my sx3 properly for about 6 months , i thought i'd give the bolt assembly a good clean as well.. I have never done this before , so i stripped the gun down and pulled off the bolt handle. The whole bolt unit just slid out easily. The problem is reassembly. When i try to slide the bolt assembly back into the action the black plastic linkage rod keeps getting stuck on a plastic hook that is part of the trigger assembly that sticks up inside the action and stops the bolt assembly dropping into place. It doesn't move downwards only upwards , therefore creating

    Not all people are lucky enough to have free shooting , especially if you live in a non farming / rural area. This guy is asking for advice and i for one dont find anything to smirk about
