.22 bolt action and semi auto on same permission
HUnter_zero replied to RAPID7LIAM's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
So what other use is the 10/22 if not for vermin control? You might have to wait, but next time you do your renewal, make sure you put vermin control down of every rifle you have applied for but to answer your question, yes I once had six rim fire rifles all granted for range and field use. John -
Both powders are more or less exactly the same. My recipe is for 75 grain V-max driven by 44 grains of H380. John

If you want to know for a fact, consult a solicitor but this is where you stand according to several countryside law books (my interpretation) : First, you must be clear between the different trespassing offenses. 1) simply crossing on to another's land is a civil offense, in other words the landowner would have to prosecute you. 2) Crossing on to another's land with a gun, is armed trespass and is a criminal offence, in other words the police would prosecute you. 3) If a dog is pursuit of game on land where you have permission, and the dog continues it's pursuit on to land where you -
1) Why did the police stop you? 2) What made the police suspicious or why did they have cause to remove the rifle? 3) Did you get a receipt and did it detail the condition of the rifle? 4) I doubt the police will actually ever test the rifle but if they do we are in the middle of the holidays and most back office staff will be on holiday, so I would suspect a good couple of weeks. In the first instance if there was no reason to stop you and you were not causing concern then to be honest the police didn't have the right to remove your property, you are innocent until proven guilty but

Not that I know but the problem will be at the front lens. Try screwing the lens in and out and then readjusting with the AO ring until the focus / range matches John

Did the POI return back when you returned to the same magnification you zeroed at? Sounds like the scope is at fault and not the ammo. John
-
The first thing I would say is; how do you know that the ammo is at fault? Have you chronograph'ed the ammunition to see if there are fluctuations in velocity? Winchester subs are good, I used to get one or two fliers out of a box, now I use Eley subs but even with them I get the odd flier. There are many things that can cause bad grouping, you need to look at all possible causes before concluding on anyone. Are you using a moderator? If so, what sort of groups do you get with the moderator off? Have you inspected the crown? If so, what condition is it in? If your using a moderator the chanc

If the rust isn't very bad, use 000 wire wool and oil, then touch up with cold blue. If it's very bad, then give it to a gun smith, you have a great one in Talgarth (spelling?). John

I might be interested in any nifty bits of kit, don't need any prep. John

Good few around the South Wales valleys and north Bridgend. John

I guess it's a little late to say "do some research before you get your first ferret". Go to a pet shop and buy a bag of ferret biscuits, or a bag of complete dried cat food, even a can of cat food will do in the short term but fresh meat is better than any of the above that said not necessary. That's a start. Make sure the Jill has a nice DRY and WARM hutch and make sure the hutch is ferret proof! Make sure she has plenty of clean fresh drinking water and make sure you check the water first thing and last thing because of the freezing temperatures. Forget about working her until you have had

Possible something along the lines of "dog, git here" John

Hi Stoaty. The one I watched was the remake and the dogs were top notch,the film will become a christmas classic in HZ towers . Just outside of Pontypridd. John
-
No reason other than I like the look of the dogs. I have many options for hunting dogs, lab's, ESS, etc etc. I just want a redbone, no idea why, just want one and so, I'll have to get the ball rolling (if I can) but alas it might not be possible. John

Watched the film tonight, and very much enjoyed it! Problem is that I am now well and truly sold on a Redbone!!!! PM me your addy and I'll see what I can do for your boy John

I'll start looking in to it. We have Friends in the US who should help us out. John
-
Thanks for that, I will get a copy to watch tonight. Hopefully it will charm Mrs HZ in to letting me invest the cash Just hope dogs from the US can understand the welsh accent John
-
Hi Stoaty, whats the film called buddy? I've been search for a breeder for ages, I might look at importing a bitch from the US, if I am reading DEFRA correctly the six months might not apply if the I can provide a Rabies card (?) John

My shooting buddy purchased one for his first gun, and twenty years later still beats me at clays with that bloody gun! John
-
Thanks for the info! Gutted, I really wanted one. It's just not practical to import from the US, due to quarantine being 6 months, the dog would be close to a year John

HI, just wondering if anyone could please tell me if there are any UK breeders of Redbone coon hounds? Thanks John
