  1. Plenty for me. Lots of rabbits. Not so many pigeons as there was on my land, but I have shot a fair few. Where in the Shire?
  2. You can shoot anything. The question really is "is it legal?" and "will it kill it?". Its up to you whether you shoot it at the end of the day. The question I propose back is, do you think we would shoot those animals with a shotgun, if a rifle was the better tool for the job?
  3. Consider a 20g. Try it before you buy it. I've read somewhere about the chrono, recoil, and spread patterns of .410's over 20g and the 20 is far superior to the 410 without much more "hmph" behind it. Of course, its all relative, but you would be surprised.
  4. Pigeons dont always land... A shot gun is going to be the best method. Certainly dont rim fire them if they're in trees... Why would you want to over shotgunning anyway?
  5. As title says. 5 or 10 shot. Wanting a few, willing to pay a decent price for them, paypal or bank transfer.
  6. Beat me to it. Good lamps. Got mine with a scope mount. Not off you though. Got mine before I realised you sold them.
  7. Its a bit unclear on a few things. Where do you expect to shoot? Are you providing the land? Is there a cost implication? Will all 15 of us be going on a deer stalk? Who provides the beer afterwards?
  8. Are the trigger kits easy enough to fit? I'm still polishing up on my brno (have added a scope mounted lamp and sling) but always wondered about how much difference the triggers really make. Surely a "light" or even one stage trigger can cause you to fire early occassionally? Would have to fit one and see if I like it tbh.
  9. I do use a bipod, but only because it arrived with it. Thinking about a shooting stick. Makes back stops much easier to come by if you're off the floor etc.
  10. Yes mate. I bought my first mod 2 a few weeks ago and I love it. The winchesters group into about 1/2 an inch at 65-70 yards. Bit heavy, but a good all rounder.
  11. I know the measurements, but I was querying where it was measured to/from.
  12. Just by interest, is there anywhere that shows the legislation where it specifies it to be WITHOUT the mod? I know the barrel length must be 12" minimum, but I've never read anywhere about it, just assumed it was without for 2 reasons. One is that the mod can obviously be removed at any point, with no secure fittings, and the other is because I don't want to get caught out, so better to have it longer and be within the law than shorter and get caught out. Do carbine air rifles conform to the same standards? Don't really know the legislation behind the un-licensed fire arms (air pistols, kids a
  13. Do Mods count towards barrel length? I was always under the assumption that barrel length was to the end of the screw cut for the mod on the basis that mods come in all shapes and sizes. What if you remove the moderator? Does it all of a sudden become an illegal weapon?
  14. Just give them a phone and ask the only thing im aware of just now is if its a paying job that invalidates the current offer Cool, more than happy to give them a buzz but was a bit busy yesterday and thought I'd put the feelers out to the member base / posters on here. I'll give them a buzz on Monday and hopefully they'll cover me down the ranges too. If they will then I'll sign up and even more of a bonus if I can take advantage of the discount negotiated with this site. cheers. If they wont cover ranges, BASC will. They cover all recognised shooting disciplines, as hobby. So not paid
  15. Thats weird. I applied for .17 as it was the preferred calibre, but put .22 as I thought my FLO would say yes to the .22 and no to the .17 as it was also my first FAC. He granted both without a mentor status, which I have heard is a common condition. Strange how different constituancies work. Not sure if my firearms experience helped me out though. I have shot small bore and full bore for a number of years under a mentor and also have weapons handling drills/maintainence through cadets. Not sure how much that counted for though. I also got a glowing letter of approval from my mentor, which wou
  16. Nope. Dont need to sell it now. Got money from other kit. Sorry lads.
  17. It has the dial on the back for accurate pin point. You can set it to be off, but you cant control volume.
  18. How old are you? I assume 1991 (in your name) is your dob. Unfortunately you just miss out on the BASC juniour offer (U21) which is 22 quid a year. Even then BASC is 66 quid a year. Thats 5.50 a month and covers you for 10 mil damages. Not a bad deal. Plus theres a few other bonuses to being part of BASC. Hope this helps, BB
  19. I've got one going. Will send you a picture when I'm home. Although, for the price, I can't fault the paracord game carriers made by B.P.R on here. They work a treat. I love my pair.
  20. Starting gear to be honest. I'm getting into rifles and need it all, including the rifle. Money is preferred though as I have a complete setup which I'm looking at now. May consider a very near offer. Edited to say: FAC rimfire rifles, not air.
  21. Alot of people go with your common insurance companies for shooting, so BASC, NGO, etc. But actually, as far as I am aware, some home insurance policies allow you to add shooting cover to your policy, so explore that option too. I'm not part of BASC, but I think (someone may correct me, or you can look on there website) they are an all members covered organisation. This means that you just join BASC and automatically have insurance. Although, dont quote me on that. Like I say, someone may offer more insight. Atb, BB Edited to say: It may not be that the cheapest/dearest policy
  22. I do it for free. Its called a hobby. You want to charge, they'll get someone who will do it for free imo. Try selling the rabbits to the butchers if you're that desperate... Atb, BB
  23. As title. Never been used,£125 ovno and I will have it posted. Paypal or bank transfer, or will consider shooting gear trades. Comes with magnet key ring (with a paracord fob) spare batteries, tape for the collar and a small tin to store it in.
