    Hi can I ask , if anyone uses the 30.06 for roe , or other species , I have fired one years ago, and fancied one as a second gun , well I have decided to put a variation in next yr at renewal time, but I thought I would ask and see what bullet weights other people use , I know they can kill , that’s not in question, I shoot red and roe mainly, with a 6.5x55 , I just do not like waisting meat , and the large variety of bullet weights appeals to me, so if anyone could share any good or bad points on the calibre, would be appreciated.

    I have looked at clay and game , they have a good website, as I was going to buy a 20 gauge reloading machine, I may give them a call and see what they have to say.

    Hi Phil pot , I spoke with Sadlery and gun room , they say hushpower 20 gauge will take a 1/2 choke , but the 410 will have to be reemed out to half choke,

    Your description of sparkies and plumbers is spot on , I may have someone now fingers crossed , I have always said I want it done , however they just show no enthusiasm , it’s an old pub a big old spot, and we have an elderly mother in law living in , so we would have to work around her so to speak , most of them start by we are very busy , so I do offer they do it in stages , I have offered cash , ( in truth I have had it with them ) this guy has been open he said I have work until autumn this year , I will come and see you then , he did an emergency job for me , came 08:00 in the morning a

    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 .
  22. 3175darren
    They are almost impossible to get hold of , going to have to buy loaded rounds soon .

    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 ,
