.223 Or .243 For Lamping Foxes
bangerstox10 replied to DeerhoundLurcherMan's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Another spanner in the works for you ! Are you going to reload your own? Look at the calibre which is most common for your area. Like down here in Kent a .270 is hard to get factory ammo as it is not a common round here but up country very common but down here 223 22-250 243 are common as muck so a lot of choice and not too bad on price. I have a .222 and a .243 wssm. Now when I am out lamping I take the .243 as it is my favourite one. It is set up with 95gr ballistic silver tips. See Charlie put the cross hairs on him and the good old thud comes back, but there is a bloody mess to clear up af -
Advice Please Guys .17Hmr For Fox?
bangerstox10 replied to lfbfiremantom's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Elliott you are breaking the law SIGN your certificate At the end of the day what your FAO says goes. As he has told you what you can shoot with what calibre. May be not the best round for foxing but every body to there own. I like my .243 WSSM for foxing as it just makes a bloody great mess of them doesn't matter if they are 75 yards or 275 yards they are dead. -
Got a ruger 10/22 had it for donkey years and is still like a tack driver. Admittedly it seems to like CCi but s**t Happens. Personally CZ are the in thing at the moment, not my personal choice. Only magazine trouble I have had is when the moderator broke up inside sending bits into the magazine.

Bore Snake = Rubbish? Or Is It Me?

Yep they are tight. I thought I had the wrong one but managed to get it through but it did cut into the fingers slightly -
Kent police are running seriously behind on their processing of the FAC. So be prepared for a long wait.

What Would You Recomend? .17 Hmr
bangerstox10 replied to Bigpat's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
The 527 is a Centerfire, it isn't a rimfire 452/453 or 455! I know !! I own it. I was pointing something out about how some makes of guns are not for all. Another mans poison is another mans medicine. -
What Would You Recomend? .17 Hmr
bangerstox10 replied to Bigpat's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
It is all done to personal prefference. I have got a browning T bolt in 17 hmr with a wildcat whisper mod. Yes it does feel un natural in synthetic but having the second mag stored in butt is handy. The T bolt mechanism is nice and quick and easy to reload. Would i have another one? Er yes. CZ are the in gun it seems. Personal experience with them are i don't like them as i have a CZ 527 which spends more time in the cabinet. It is all done to what you want in your gun and your choice because every man is different in his needs. -
Who Would Say They Have A Quiet Deer Rifle?
bangerstox10 replied to Philluk's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
I have got a predator 12 fitted to my .243 WSSM and it is quite compared to what it was. It is more of a woosh sound now with abit of noise. The nice thing with predator silencers are you can alter the blast tube length on the back and you are able to strip it down to clean it. -
TOUCHY SUBJECT-burglars+shotgun=life sentance?
bangerstox10 replied to GEOFF.223's topic in General Talk
You must fire a warning shot first. Then if they still persue in coming towards you / attacking you then you are allowed to defend yourself with resondable force. But as the local rural policeman said shot them in the front no problems, if shot in back they are running away from you. So you are now not defending yourself but are the agressor now. Personally i would shoot first then ask questions later but i would have fired 2 shots. 1 warning next one making contact but not killing them just wounding them. A local person i know had defended himself from 4 pykes braking into his yard. He shot -
Wildcat moderators ( or opinions on any others)
bangerstox10 replied to sikastag_1's topic in Reloading and Gun Maintenance
Got a wildcat predator 12 fitted to a 243. The good part about wildcat moderators are you can tailor them to your own requirements as you can change the blast tube length which goes over the barrel. The 4,8 or 12 is a refference to the number of baffles fitted etc. The down side is they are abit on the heavy and can unbalance the gun. -
Got a Ruger 10 22 it is an absolutely brilliant little rifle. It has had alot of rounds through it and has been in use for 20+ years. The only problem it suffered with was a round would stick in the magazine, but this had been caused by the moderator breaking up. It has had sub sonic and high velocity throught it and is accurate. Found it liked CCi more than any other make. Its like asking if you prefer an i phone or an android phone. Only you are the one who has to decide

superstar moderator prob
bangerstox10 replied to bangerstox10's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Ok I expected a small deviation but 8 inches at 20 yards?? -
Hi there I'm having a problem with my BSA superstar, I purchased a Bisley moderator however it is throwing my pellets 8 inches to the right !!! I have tried taking it off and putting it back on but no difference, it's not cross threaded?? Should there be a washer/spacer or something or do you think it is a duff mod?? You advise will be most welcomed!!
