    You're nearly there Rabid but very often, with the rimfire, I would chamber a round and my target would move or not come into clear view before I got a clear shot. The r.f. was easily emptied again but not an air rifle and I was hoping that I could carry it safely by locking the bolt back. The gun I have been considering is a Webley Raider 10 with a side bolt which would appear to lock open as well as closed. I also think it is only the Turkish 10XS that has a safety catch and not the Birmingam 10 that I have been considering. Best suggestion so far is to fit a moderator and empty it into the

    Useful to know that all that polishing will make the barrel grow longer and scope get shorter. op.

    Thanks everyone but carrying a pcp safely is my problem and double loading is only a consequence of indexing the bolt more than once. Any safety catch is only preventing a little valve from opening and I'd far rather have the bolt locked back when I'm only carrying the rifle. I presume that an accidental discharge with the bolt open would put little or no pressure behind the pellet or anything else significant. Is there anyone reading that has experience of a Logun Rifle, Logun Professional MK2 or similar with the linear rather than rotary magazine? If so, by holding spring pressure off t

    mattwhite, Thanks for your reply. I kinda thought I wouldn't find an air rifle that would eject a loadad pellet but I wondered if any was available that included some mechanism that would prevent a second pellet from being loaded if I simply pulled and locked the bolt back again. I don't really trust safety switches. op.

    For the last 45 years I have been I have been using a .22 RF semi-auto for vermin control but I have now decided that a multi-shot pcp air rifle should surfice. Often I would load a round into the chamber only to take it out again because my target had moved. All I did was unclip the magazine and when I pulled the bolt back the round would fall through the breech into my other hand. This way I was carrying the gun safely with an empty chamber. Which multi-shot air rifle should I look for that would achieve comparable safety in similar conditions? Regards op.

    I have a .22 Relum that's probably more like your price range. A springer with iron sights. Little use and good working order but it is about 100 miles North of you just off the M6. P/M me if you're interested and I'll take some pictures and email them.

    Relum .22 break barrel from about 1960/70s. Can be collected from Cumbria. Iron sights only but it is dovetailed for telescopics. If you're interested, I'll take some pictures and email them. I'll take 60 quid including 700-800 pellets.
