    I had the exact thing happen many moons ago, i hate these with a passion. Mine snapped half way through the bore. The only thing they will achieve is to remove some loose fouling, that is it. Get a good quality - rod, jag, patches, brush & a bottle of Shooters Choice

    Mass produced barrels are not lapped (google barrel lapping) It is good practice to run a barrel in. You do not need to clean it while zeroing :)I If i did that with the .204 it wouldn't shoot for shit. Well it probably would, just not to the usual standard. It gets cleaned after pretty much every outing. With a Dewey Rod, Jag Patches, Shooters Choice, Pro-Shot Patches & Brush Regular cleaning will result in easy cleaning, it really dosent take that long. POI Is the same after Cleaning providing the barrel is clean - no solvent residue left on any part of the patch I h

    Hmmmmm i find that a little srange, in Somerset i would be very suprised if you requested a .22lr & .17hmr and were denied the .17 It could be worth getting in touch with BASC about this http://www.basc.org.uk/en/departments/firearms/

    I often wonder just how folks get on first we range find the animal then work out the drop and adjust the scope then dope the wind then awwwwwww f**k its gone lol For me its quite simple identify what you consider your maximum distance you can accurately shoot to then zero the rifle at the distance which gives the flattest trajectory to you maximum range Danw, its horses for courses, float your boat etc. I enjoy playing with some longer range stuff, if your shooting a rabbit at 400yrd+ the chances are it is not going to know you are there. Generally most shooters can judge dista

    Depending on the "lie of the land" they may ask you to erect high seats, this was a option that was suggested to me by a FEO. If the land has already been granted for use with a CF, you shouldnt have a problem with a similar size calibre. He said its less to do with the total acreage of the land, more to do with the Humps & Bumps. Safe backstop etc

    Personally i tend to go for afternoon shooting, be set-up & in place for 1:30 ish - judging that the birds would have had a morning feed and then be sat about in trees/on lines with full crops. This allows some time to watch the field, then decide where to situate the hide etc, Watch for flight lines. I have also gone to fields & clapped off 100 or so birds, then sat and watched to see if others start to come back, if after 20 or so mins there isnt any sign, i move on to the next. Not sure if this is the right thing to do but thats how i do it. Some fields just seem to draw pigeons
