    Hi I know this topic will be done to death , around normal shotguns , and maybe I have missed it about the smaller stuff, I know calibers below 243 will not be effected in rifles , at least there’s some sense come through , I have, and use 2 hushpower mossbergs one in 410 and one in 20 gauge , I know the 410 has a full choke , and as yet I have seen no 410 cartridges loaded with steel , and in truth I hope they see sense and don’t force it onto small shotgun calibres , my 20 gauge has a full choke and I am reliably informed , that that choke can go down to half , without aff

    Bloody long way from Cornwall , it’s good to see there’s a odd one down there though,

    Good to hear, another lefty , I struggle with modern airguns most are right handed, not ambidextrous.

    Thanks piano man for your advice, I have never come across a springer on FAC , and I never would have thought they would be that smooth shooting, as some springers under 12 ft ld , can jump badly, I have a couple here that I really like to shoot, and are very accurate, but they are Sub 12ft , I suppose it sits with the quality of the gun, and how well it has been tuned , more food for thought.

    Thanks for that Phil, that’s really helpful , I may drop you a message next time I’m down at Reedness , but I do think I am going to be buying one at some point, any info on the HW100 in FAC ?

    Thanks for that Phil , can I ask what do you think is the best calibre for them ?

    Can I ask if anyone has any advice on FAC airguns , I am towing with the idea of getting one, I have no issue with justifying one. Do most makers do a FAC option ? I are they worth the hassle ie the variation fiasco? Are they worth buying second hand ? What’s the pitfalls with them ? What’s the best calibre? can you pick them up second hand ? I notice there aren’t many for sale, any advice is greatly appreciated. ( before I make a decision)

    I have a mint BSA supersport in 22 , can I ask if anyone could point me in the right direction , as to the best spring to fit in it , ie ox , titan or what’s out there to use, I know it’s never been serviced , so I wanted to bring it up to date , but I have not been around spring air rifles for a while , and things change, anybody got advice that will help me get the best out of this airgun ,?

    Good hunting mate ,

    Hi mate , what species of Deer , are you going after ? 243 will drop anything in this country I really I wouldn’t go smaller than that , 270 is a fantastic round, I use 6.5x55 I have used both the others , I only use it because it kills everything very well , and without excessive recoil, if I was shooting big reds and sika all the time I would go 270 up , however if I was only going for an odd red and sika every now and again , I probably would stick to 243 , or a calibre I can get good amo availability on and one I find good to shoot with, the above calibres will not give you excessive

    I just received , 10 I bought as a taster I must say initial impressions are good , well made with good spring strength , I will get them in the ground next day or so and see how they fair, I might need to buy another 100 or so I hope they do well .
  16. 3175darren
    They are almost impossible to get hold of , going to have to buy loaded rounds soon .
  17. 3175darren
    I would say most are imported , there’s very few in uk manufacture them now , it’s a shame to say, that but it is a common thing around the world now, quality from china is poor , saying that there’s an odd make which will give you reasonable life span , but most are woefully under powered , and badly galvanised .

    I still have a couple of the old ones before they were all stainless , they are good ,

    I think I will give them a try , at least sample a few of each , I have a lot of traps anyway, but it’s good to try other makes , as said flat pack are expensive but have been very good for me, so have pest stop, I have a lot more farms to do this year , so will need to increase my stock at some point, and I think if the soil temp comes up the grass will bolt up , but the ground is bloody wet at the minute .

    Yes and the round wires I wonder who supplies them , it looks like a good supplier , always tried to find a supplier for the bethel Rhodes traps , but failed ,
  24. 3175darren
    They look fair priced for there traps I will give you that

    I have used the putange , I have some set now , but they are not my thing, very good for setting where the public are , a good cheap trap to try is the pest stop tunnel trap , I know some pull there nose at em , they are cheap but they catch very well, or do for me , I will say though the flat pack last a long time,
