    If its plasterboard fixed on to a timber frame house like mine, this is what i did.... I used a 650mm wide strip of wooden block board, this was then screwed onto 2 of the wall studs inside a cupboard then the cabinet was screwed onto the board and into the floor. Police were more then happy with it, he even commented on how well fixed it was. If you find concrete or blockwork to fix to i wouldn't bother going to the extra hassle of using resin and threaded bar etc, get yourself some Thunderbolts.. their designed for fixing into block, concrete etc take a serious grip! all you do is dr

    Cant fault cz rifle's, i've got two (.22 and HMR) both 452 styles. Had a shot of a 455 thumbhole, nice rifle. One thing i did notice was the extra weight which was the reason i ended up getting the 452, i do a far amount of walking on my shoots so wanted my set up to be as light as possible. Maybe worth considering? The thumbhole stock did fit me well and loved the finish!! RR.

    I'll see how the bsa handles first then take it from there, 10cm groups at 35yards sounds good to me!! RR.

    Thanks for the information lapin2008, i've got a old bsa scope i might try out first to see if that works. if not probably order either a hawke scope or red dot sight here's the links to them.. http://www.scopesdirect.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=HawkeCrossbow3x32MAP http://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=reddot30mm Yeah its one of the cons with using a crossbow is trying to find the bolts if it hits the ground. Thanks for the offer but i stay well up north so picking it ups out the question! I'll try get my hands on a pile of foam and some duck tape, see what i can

    Hi guys I came across my crossbow i got years ago, been doing some target practice with it using the open sights which have been ok but i wanting some kind of sight for it. Had a look around, there seems to be two options a scope or a red dot sight has anyone tried used a crossbow with a either of these sights before? Its just for target practice (got the rifles for hunting and know it illegal to hunt with it!!) so not planning on spending loads, Just thought i'd post this to see if anyone has any thoughts on which type of sight would work best. Also does anyone know what target ma

    Been using air rifles for years was planning to buy a new air rifle but decided to get my FAC instead, took 7 weeks for applying to it coming through the front door. .22 - vermin Control .17 HMR - Longer Range Vermin Control On an open ticket both with mods. RR

    Doddsy got it spot on, there's a noticeable difference while using a mod with .22 subs. I'd also add it makes a difference when trying for new permission's, one of my new permissions has a condition that i use a .22 with a mod because of the owners horses......... the other condition is i don't shoot the black rabbits because their "cute"! If i didn't have the mod i wouldn't have gotten that permission and for the price of a SAK mod (Around £30, Great bit of kit) and putting it on your FAC its a no brainer! RR.

    6 weeks start to finish, think it was about 3/4 weeks from interview to it being delivered.

    I just fitted a rimfire magic kit, took 2 days to arrive which is very good considering I live in Shetland. 10 min to fit, good clear instructions with the kit. Also watched a video on YouTube on how to fit it. As said above transformed my trigger on my 452 HMR.
  11. reeking rabbits
    Considering the weihrauch hw60j is double the price of the CZ's i'd hope they'd have a better finish/more refined features then a CZ (i.e better trigger) to justify the extra cost . I was on a strict budget and no way could i afford £1300 for a .22 and HMR before adding scopes, rings etc.. After putting 30 odd rounds through the HMR i will be fitting a trigger kit, from what i've heard this should improve the trigger a lot.. maybe even to the standard of a hw60j?!? I still managed a 1.5" group at 100m tonight, that's me only ever fired 30 HMR rounds in my life time! hopefully that will improve

    Unless its in Shetland can't see myself making it! Pigeon watch... Care to enlighten me?
  13. reeking rabbits
    Yeah I know what you mean, had both the rifles out yesterday and I'm very happy with both of them, so happy days... Not good news for the rabbits though!
  14. reeking rabbits
    Ha ha wondered how long it would take before someone from WSF commented! Is there many guys from wsf on here?

    Went out to my dads land to zero in my new CZ this afternoon. Got it almost spot on, think it still needs a little fine tuning the wind really picked up with drizzle as well so not ideal zeroing conditions. My brother went and spoke to a farmer from up the road that he used to work for and after saying about my new rifle's he said i'd be more then welcome to shoot on his land, as he's got a slight rabbit problem. The man that used to shoot all his rabbits moved away 5 months ago, the farmer usually just shoots the rabbits that come within range of his house, so some of the fields are full

    Not managed many fishing trip lately, been busy with a mixture of college, courses and bad weather! One of the courses was my 3 day fire course, Here's a picture of 2 of my classmates in full BA gear, really good 3 days learning about the basics of fire fighting. Anyway back to the fishing.... Had a nice trip off last night after college with a couple of mates, got my first couple of mackerel which was good. Still patchy but when you found them it was 3/4 at a time. First up was a nice little red gurnard, another species for this years list. Then straight into ha

    Sounds like you've hit the jackpot, like you said kind of place if you make a good job of getting rid of the rabbits word will spread!
  18. reeking rabbits
    Perfect for putting your new hw60j through its paces mate! Well done. RR.

    I actually didn't find the trigger on the 22 bad but I have read the trigger kit makes a big difference so i probably will fit one at some point, what kit did you fit? Did you have accuracy problems hence checked the clearance on the barrel, my one seems to be spot on but I'll check them next time I'm out.

    Just got my Fac, here's my pair of CZ 452 styles, Lower one has the 16'' barrel in .22 with sak mod and bushnell 3-9x40 and the one above is the 22'' barrel in .17HMR with A-tec mod, harris bipod and nikko sterling nighteater 4-16x50.

    Thanks for the comments guys, ended up getting a pair of CZ 452 styles, Lower one has the 16'' barrel in .22 with sak mod and bushnell 3-9x40 and the one above is the 22'' barrel in .17HMR with A-tec mod, harris bipod and nikko sterling nighteater 4-16x50 Had the .22 out, i've found it to be a really nice accurate rifle, cant wait to zero in the HMR this weekend! RR.
  22. reeking rabbits
    Can't help you with any .243 info, but to give you some idea on the .22 ammo. I just got my .22 and hmr FAC, I'm aload to buy 250 and hold 300 for each caliber. I think I heard the officer saying that was a standard amount (not sure if this is the case) when I was interviewed.
  23. reeking rabbits
    Just read your thread, very interesting. What scope did you end up getting? There's that many conflicting reports about how much you need to spend on a scope for a HMR. I got the nikko sterling because it was in budget, I do not expecting it to be build or perform like a top of the line scope, long as it can hold a zero and last me a couple of years i'll be happy! Then I can buy something more top of the line... But then again maybe it will be good enough for my needs, Only time will tell!
  24. reeking rabbits
    Thanks for the comments guys, Good to hear you've also got your FAC! well done. Took her out the other night, only seen one rabbit but had bottles set up so me and my mate put 40 rounds through the gun. Really nice to use, very quite with the subs and was hitting the targets out to 75m. Going to get some proper paper targets set up and see how my groups are. Also ordered a nikko stirling nighteater 4-16x50 and a harris bipod for the HMR so hopefully get that fitted and zeroed ASAP. RR.
  25. reeking rabbits
    I just ordered a Nikon Stirling nighteater 4-16x50, wanted a prostaff but it's only 3-9x50 so was wanting a little more mag. Hopefully should do the job, At £159 it didnt break my budget either.
