    Effects of said round on steel plate. Kneeling 168 mtrs. Less than an inch between them.

    Always zero with the mod on, when I remove mine the spread/group size increases

    My Tikka .223 fitted with a Wildcat Predator 8 and 1 in12 twist produces extremely accurate clover leaf groups @100 mtrs using 25 grns of Vihtavuori N140 and 55 grn Nosler ballistic tip bullets with CCI primers, OAL set at 74mm

    His title reads "CROW" SHOOTING RED LETTER DAY if you neglected to read it Navek....My father was also one of the best national flyers this country has ever seen as clearly stated recently in the Homing world and he could tell the difference between a feral and a racer with a very keen well trained eye having spent countless hours watching the sky for his birds to hopefully get back home. Jok hit the nail on the head with what he said. Number one rule before taking any shot no matter what the quarry..."IF IN DOUBT DON'T TAKE THE SHOT" ! .....Simple as .

    Not hard at all when you're actually supposed to be shooting & decoying crows

    I do hope that none of those pigeons were passing racers, some people devote lots of time and money in that sport.

    It all depends on which way you naturally think, whether your range estimates, target sizes are in yards, feet and inches (imperial) then MOA or if they are in Meters, centimeters (metric) then MilRad.

    Cheers fellas I thought that was the case but a work colleague seems to think otherwise which confused me

    Finding the forms a bit confusing, sorry if its already been asked but do I really need 2 referees to renew my licences or are they only required on first time applications and is the fee £60 to have them expire together ? Cheers

    Cheers guys for all your input, I took the said weapon back to the dealer 1st thing which meant taking time out from work for a couple of hours but hey ho, they were surprisingly very laid back about it, turns out it had been one huge administration cock up. They sold it and had it on the shelf as a Sec 2 weapon and knew nothing about it being sec 1 untill I raised the issue. Made my feelings clear, left it in their hands to sort out and basically covered my ass. Now awaiting the outcome !

    What information was on the paperwork I can't say, authorities were notified of the transaction via the net at the time of the sale, my copy was placed in a self sealed envelope which has now been posted off. I know that with air rifles, once one has been taken above 12ft lbs and registered as a sec 1 firearm it will always remain on record as a Sec 1 firearm even if its taken back to 12ft lbs.....would this also apply in my case with chopping/capping the magazine tube ? I reckon its always on file as sec1 shotgun regardless. What a mine field of cluster f*<&s this is :$

    Cheers for the replies, much appreciated. Only problems I have here fellas is that the authorities have already been notified of the sale. The place I purchased it from is closed today & I won't be able to take it back until next week as I'm working away from home. May just email my police firearms dept explaining my problem in the meantime, nothing but answerphones everywhere today :S

    I purchased in good faith a new Hatsan Escort semi auto shotgun at the weekend from a dealer. Purchased in the understanding that it was a Sec 2 shotgun. However once I got home and registered my guarantee online once I entered the serial number it came up as a Sec 1 shotgun. Upon closer inspection I found it carries 4 shells in the tube and 1 in the breach. I do have a firearms license as well as shotgun cert although I dont currently have a slot for a Sec 1 shotgun on my FAC. What should I do to make this legal and above board ? Is it just a case of transfering the said firearm from my shotg

    Sako Finnfire Hunter for me teamed up with Leupold scope, Sak mod and Harris bipod....Dogs Nads !

    After reading this thread I found this on youtube....

    The much sought after Sako Finnfire, either the hunter or varmint, "IF" you can find one in good condition, quality rifle.

    Very good work, some interesting informative articles, nice read, very well done.

    I find the best method to clean between the thin slits on the rib of my shotgun is the flight feather from a large bird coupled with a quality grade gun oil

    I purchased a Simmons scope whilst on holiday in Florida once. Managed to get it for around £40 cheaper than the UK. All was fine until I went through airport security upon departure. It showed up on the xray in my suit case, they went through every item of luggage I had with a fine tooth comb, right pain in the arse it was and this was years before 9/11 too. I would hate to think what they would be like now with anything to do with firearms. Buying anything from abroad you always run the risk of import duty however and it may be worth buying from UK anyway to avoid all the hastle.

    Basically you get just what you pay for, there's nothing like quality in a precision optical instrument. Get the very best that you can afford. I have tried several makes now, cheap scopes, which have all let me down in some way or another. I eventually decided upon & purchased a second hand mint condition Leupold VX-II 3-9x50mm for £150 to pair to my Sako Finnfire .22lr, its never let me down, keeps its zero perfectly even though I have to remove it from the rifle every time I lock it away, due to a shallow cabinet. Don't go for the cheap option but shop around, there's bargai

    Sorry forgot to add, nothing too expensive and extravagant so more than likely a springer so he has a bit of recoil to cope with which may improve his shooting later.
