i ended up soaking it in meths for a few weeks then after washing it i hung it to dry for a few days and its turned out really nice... no hair loss . my next thing to try is a squirrel fur tanned for some mits if u have any tips or hints about tanning that would b aprechiated. im after a proper tan not alum/salt pickle as ive bn told the pickle will still rot if it gets wet as as the mits r for outdoor use thats no good lol.. was looking at egg tanning thanks

hi i have recently shot a few rabbits and feel that the skin is wasted. i would like to get the skin to a point where i could ask someone to make some gloves or pellet holder etc, anything really just so its been used instead of thrown away. ive seen salting and tanning on youtube and was wondering which one would be best for what im thinking of doing. thanks in advance wayne.

Hi I'm 30 in just over a year and want to apply for a fac for my 30th. My question is what caliber is a good all rounder for everything from rabbits to foxes. I realise this is probably the same as asking what caliber air rifle is best but the choices seem vast. Thanks in advance

Hi I have one and it's doing 11ft/lb after little fettling and takes rabbits no bother. A very good under rated rifle and for the cost u can't beat them. As said just check ur zero at different temp. It's been said it takes 20c to drop 1ft/lb so nothing to worry about really. Cheers
-
Why don't u make one? I have just done it and have really good results. Upto 40m+ in total darkness for next to nothing. Cheers
-
What else is worth looking at around that price range. I have seen a brocock concept (I think) for similar money. Cheers for help so far

Hi I'm quite new to the forum so this may have already been done. What are peoples reviews of the BSA ultra single shot. I have a few rifles and pistols I'm thinking about selling to buy an ultra as I like the looks but don't really know much about them. A RFd in the north is selling them @ £299 new with synthetic stock. Cheers

Whats the most unusual / nicest wild rabbit you've shot?

Never seen a black one on my perm yet. If I got the chance I would still shoot it though as gamekeeper wants them gone so all must go.
