    I've had a gander at Grims letter, looks pretty good, it has given me some good pointers to pen my own letter

    Thanks a lot Davy, I had thought of land other than farm land but you have added a whole new bunch of ideas, fantastic mate and I sure your advice will help , I have already penned a letter of permission and I will look at grim reapers letter and compare it to mine, I am sure being new to seeking permission there will be some good stuff in what he has written . I may edit his for my use or do a combination of his and mine , cheers mate

    That all sounds pukker to me, I great sounding approuch , I am taking it all on board and appreciate the advice I am getting from you chaps

    I would be interested to hear your technique when knocking on doors it seems a delicate subject to approach when asking a stranger if they would allow you to go on their land with an air rifle Well it may be a bit of putting at first but stick at it when you go try to turn up reasonably smart .be polite and if you get knocked back say thanks and leave your name and number in case things change in future. always tell people your looking for somewhere to shoot i have just sorted some permission on a large riding school by word of mouth.sort your self insurance before you start it helps

    Yes I agree about the name, I have had nothing to do with hunting for some 35 years and this was the first forum I joined, I went for the user name just because it was the first thing that came to mind and I was eager to join having just got my new rifle and didn't give it enough thought . I don't know if I can/should change it or leave it in the hope that people will get to know that I am not a copper. What do you lads on this forum think?

    No I'm not a real copper! I just picked that user name because my initials are PC and at school(many years ago) the kids called pc plod for a bit of fun. I'm afraid I have no advantage over you chaps!, shame that!, maybe I should join up just to get hunting permission

    Thanks for the advice, even down to what to say, what more could I ask for mate Hope I don't get the "you little scroat" treatment :11:, mind you better than being shot at

    Cheers for the response y444tes I would be interested in how lucky you are getting permission by cold knocking I would have thought that you get a lot of turn aways?

    Well I'm not sure what to expect in the way of help, but here we go . I have come back to air guns after a 35 year break and things have changed back then I used to find the odd farmer who would let me hunt a few Rats, Woodies and Bunnies, where are they now I wonder . How the hell do you lads find somewhere to hunt these days, please, please help put me on the road to finding permission if you can, you know, the how, where who or what I need to find somewhere . If someone can give me an idea of how to go about finding permission to hunt, then please do so, my gun is collecting dust

    Hope you all had a great Christmas and I wish you a happy and successful hunting/airgunning new year , and a big thankyou to all of you that have helped and advised me so far .
  17. pcplod
    Cheers 8shot, I took your advice and went to airgunbbs
  18. pcplod
    Well it's plain to see everyone has there idea of the best value rifle for my needs, but it really narrows things down to just a handfull off rifles, thanks to all of you for your advice so far, the more response I get the easier it gets to narrow my choices down . If anyone else has any suggestions please offer them up

    As explained in an earlier topic I have come back to airgunning after a 35ish year break (I'm a bit of a Dinosaur), so please excuse my ignorance . I have been wondering what advantage/difference the shorter Carbine rifle has compared to a standard air rifle? , and the biggy......which is best for hunting, or are there pros and cons with both, I suspect the standard air rifle is the hunting machine but maybe I am just stuck in my ways . By the way, hail to you for your advice on the best hunting springer , I am enjoying reading and researching
  20. pcplod
    Wow! , thank you all for your quick response, keep-em coming it gives me a good idea what to to look at in the next few weeks, . I will check again later, but for now I am signing off and getting back to some serious lubricating
  21. pcplod
    Hi everyone, Hope you are all enjoying your Christmas break, and are not to sober but sober enough to let me pick the brains of the more expert among you . I am looking to buy a springer during the next couple of months, it will need to be a full powered Rabbit/Pheasant stopper capable of stopping fur and feather at range . Hit me with your opinions please but nothing that is going to need a fat bank balance to purchase, I look forward to what advice you Rabbit wackers have to offer

    Hi Andy, Cheers for the words of encouragement mate . I used Bisley super field which were a bit unpredictable, with the gun supported every now and again a pellet would screw wildly off to one side , the pellets that didn't do this were bang on target. I thought maybe it was my shooting , but the gun was supported and the cross hair was steady and I must have put about 50 pellets into the target to test my shooting in case it was down to me. My brother (a keen airgunner ), said it was down to the pellets, but I am told that Bisley super field are high a standard pellet, I will loo

    I am sure that my 79 is not spitting 10-10.5 because I don't think my old Meteor spat more than about 9ft/lb and it would have knocked the spots off of this xs79, thanks for the advice Wuzzy, I will check out charlie da tuner, cheers mate
  24. pcplod
    And just what is wrong with the XS19 in .22? Aint sod all wrong with it in .22 I highly recomend it in .22 but then I may be a little biased seeing as mine is a .22 cal bunny killing machine (and the odd mouse chucked in for good measure) PCPlod, when Joey (Wuzzy) said about not taking Davy's advice he wasn't talking to you buddy, he was talking to a particular troll that Davy told to take a long walk off a short pier (in a round about way, that we'll not go into again). Phantom Hi Phantom, Thanks for clearing that up for me, I really must get the hang of this! . I am readi
  25. pcplod
    Yea, I know what you mean Wuzzy, but I was in an old shed complete with wood burning stove which I fired up and I was shooting from a small side window, the gun was quite warm to the touch (I really get that stove going mate ). I don't have any means of testing power but I sighted the 79, target on wooden plank at approx 20yds, the pellets bounced of with very little penetration and very lttle pellet distortion . I know at that range my old Meteor would have very likely passed through the plank or at least been lost deep within the wood, do you know what the average ft/lb of the xs79 should
