    BSA .22 smooth bore garden gun.. Rare under lever action. Very nice condition, hasn't done very much. Looking to swop for a carbine .22 air rifle. Based in Oswestry. Cert holders only. Can send pics to anyone who interested as this site wont let me....

    Sam my 9yr old Laguna bred whippet is looking his age with his grey muzzle but still takes a few daytime bunnies when out for a walk.. May have to charge the lamp..

    It cant be that bad surely..... Is it just the systems that are antiquated? I know we pay a lot in tax over here but at least get the bins emptied.. I guess I need to hear from people who are loving there at the moment.. I dont mind paying more for a loaf of bread if I can have a place with a few acres to have a few animals I could raise and slaughter.. Its all swings and roundabouts.. Will have to do lots more research.. Thanks guys

    My wife and I have been looking at properties in Eire and have been talking about going over for a long holiday for sometime. We both have historical links to Eire so I guess thats were my mad passion for hunting and dogs comes from... We quite fancy the East coast, as considering travel for relatives visiting and for ourselves going back for visits. I would be really interested to hear from any of the lads on here as to the things we should be looking out for and issues we perhaps hadnt considered, I have looked at the education system as we have a 5 year old lad (Hayden Connor, h

    Wondering if anyone out there is using .25 for ratting? Ive always used .22 in either flathead or wadcutter but have heard that the .25 can be devastating.... Does the power out way the rainbow trajectory ?

    I have gone down the pcp route a few times but always got fed up of pumping them up... I always ended up going back to springers but they do of course have their drawbacks... I recently purchased a MMC multi shot BSA ultra in .22. Its a nice little gun and so shor. Got a couple of bottles and a pump just in case. It wasnt till i needed the one bottle filling and the other testing that i realised what a pain pcps can be, even with bottles.... First place in wrexham couldnt test my large bottle as needed brass neck band which he didnt bother with.. Then found another place between telford

    Refreshing to see such sensible replies.. So many of the groups on facebook are full of those claiming to take rabbits at crazy ranges with pistols.. I would say that the power is only half the problem, as someone who once had to use a browning 9mm on a regular basis, the skill involved to hit anything at 20 yrds is beyond most people...

    Would love to have a hunting trip out to the states.. Proper game over there..

    Hi guys. After a few years of not doing a lot in the fieldsports scene ( having a kid can do that) I'm looking to get back in the fields... I have recently retired from the police and so find myself with spare time... Have to say that due to my old job permissions were never that hard to come by and have relatives in the animal feed industry. However, I have always found that I enjoyed my sport more when in good company. I would like to meet up with like minded individuals from my area to enjoy some of the passtimes available to us in Shropshire and the borders. My first expe
