    Thanks, just the info i was after. 33 full body decoys and a net is probably a bit more than i will be taking to the shoot anyway, John

    Hi all My existing Pigeon decoying bag / sack has finally fallen to pieces and i am looking to replace it. I am thinking of buying the jack pyke maxi decoy bag as it seems quite sturdy and holds a fair bit of kit. I was just wondering if anybody has tried this or a similar bag , or can reccommend another. The main problem for me is that, I dont have access to a 4/4 so all my gear has to be carried by myself and pulled on a trolly to the shoot. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, Regards, John http://jackpyke.co.u...&productId=1746

    Hi nod As remi 700 suggested , if i was you i would make my own. I found the following 2 videos on the tube on how to make short and tall sticks and both were cheap and simple to make John Short sticks : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn33UdmMJtA Long sticks : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqsQjpx87zo

    I've just renewed both my Shotgun and Fac ( coterminous Certificates ) and it took just over a month from when i posted off the forms to when the tickets landed on my carpet. My local area is Hertfordshire Constabulary John

    As above, but in my opinion the Bennelli still has more felt recoil than my Gas / Active valve system Winchester SX3 , Still a top notch shotgun though, John

    Just curious lads but which of these calibres produces the loudest muzzle crack, the17HMR or the17 mach2. I am considering putting in for a variation for one of these calibres, and am leaning towards the mach2. However, i seem to have read somewhere that the ammo for the mach 2 is getting hard to find, is this true or is this the case in certain areas only, John

    As above I bought my SX3 3.5'' Composite about 2 years ago, and although it's not FAC, i have never had any problems what so ever.The gun is extremely smooth to shoot and the recoil is virtually nill. My best friend shoots a Benelli FAC, and to be honest i prefer my SX3 anyday. In my opinion it's probably the best value for money, quality semi auto out there John

    A big welcome to THL bladesmanjon , loads of useful info on this forum John

    As above, that's what i use on my CZ Varmint , and to be honest, i can't really imagine anything being much quietier when using subsonic ammo

    They are. Last summer i purchsed my first pigeon magnet , by memory i paid about £70, and it came with 2 free foam pigeons. I then decided to buy 2 Hypa Flaps from the ukshootwarehouse to put on the whirley, and combined, the two really do draw in the old woodies, John

    As above , in my neck of the woods anyway. When you apply for or renew an FAC you only need one piece of suitable land that has been cleared for that particular calibre. If you find new permissions in the near future, you just need to inform your local constabulary and they will tell you if that particular piece of land is suitable or not, John

    There is obviously something wrong somewhere if the trigger is that hard to pull & let off. I suppose you only have 2 options to sort the problem. Option one is to have the standard trigger checked out by a qualified gunsmith (if you're not confident yourself) or option 2 is to have the whole unit changed, like you probably will anyway. Good luck with the gun and let us know how you get on with this problem, John

    Hi Leamo I bought the exact same gun 5 years ago and i can't say that i have ever had any problems with the cz's standard trigger. I did however just out of curiousity adjust the trigger spring to it's lightest setting, but to be honest i didn't really notice much difference with the result. As for creep, yes i suppose there is a small amout, but not nearly enough for me to fit a replacement trigger. Maybe if i was in a club and used the rifle for target shooting i would give a new trigger unit a try, but out in the rough and tumble of the field i like to know that any accidental rounds

    Hi PLEDGEY About a year ago , i too was in the market for a low recoil Autoloader. I was looking for a gun under the £1000 price tag. After handing and shooting a few , i opted for the Winchester SX3 Composite 3.5'' Magnum. This gun has never missed a beat and the recoil with normal hunting loads is zero. I dont do clay pigeon just pest control , so i went for the composite model for the rough and tumble of field use. If memory serves , i paid just under £900 , and that includes a 5 year warranty with Winchester. As i was completely new to semi auto's , i was dreading the first

    Thanks for the replies lads. Looks like i'll be buying some superdomes to try, John

    Hi all. As the title of the post asks , i was just wondering what pellets you guys reccommened for my late 70's HW35 .22 rifle. I have recently refurbished the whole gun and have been using Bisley Superfield pellets for zeroing purposes. I have found these pellets to be fairly accurate at medium ranges , but was just wondering if there are better out there that suit the HW barrels more than the Superfields , Regards, John

    Thanks for the swift reply pink or stink Yes , i've just found out that some people use an enamel spray paint for jobs like this. I believe it's called ' Plasti-kote Fast Dry Enamel Spray Paint ' Regards , John

    Hi all As already stated in an earlier posting , i am in the process of refurbing my late 70's Bsa Mercury. I am currently working on the woodwork , a job i have done before , but i will be reluctant to put the rifle back together again with the end block in the state that it is in. Basically , half of the black paint is missing and is a nice shiney silver colour in various places. A friend told me that you can not reblue the end block , but he didn't say why not or what i could do instead. I have no experince with refurbing guns actions , so any advice will be greatly appreciated ,
