    That's not the AO. All the other ones are in stock but when they try to order the AO its not available from Hawke.The AO is becoming a new model and the old one which I ordered is out of stock everywhere!
  2. David Aiken
    So the Hawke Panorama ev 4-12x50 ao ir is out if stock so due to being upgraded and wont be available until August! Not a lot of good if your shooting this weekend! On a1tackels advise I've gone for the new Nikko Stirling Panamax 4.5-14x50 ao ir Rifle Scope / Illuminated Half Mil Dot. Any one used one? How will it compare to the Hawke? http://www.uttings.co.uk/p118945-nikko-stirling-panamax-4-5-14x50-ao-ir-rifle-scope-npmxi451450/#.VVm_Q2fbLIU

    Reposted in equipment. Thanks, David

    Yep, totally agree. The drop and wind are to problematic for hunting at distance. Enough theoretical energy to take a Rabbit at 200 yards, but near imposable to preform. I have a well positioned bush which is 70 yards to the fence where most of the Rabbit appear, so meaning 95% of my shots can be taken at 50-60 yards but knowing I can stretch to 70 yards if need be.
  5. David Aiken
    Even so, I`ll be sticking to the 30-70 yard range! Fine for a Rabbit kill @ 70 yards, absolutely deadly at 50!

    Well I've ordered a Hawke Panorama ev 4-12x50 ao ir . I have the 3-9 x 40 on my HW100 and its a great scope. So through id add a bit of sixe and power for the Anschuts

    Second picture
  8. David Aiken
    Well, the first days zero testing was a success! The first pic is 7 shots @ 100 yards and the second @ 70 yards. I'd say the HW100 would have trouble beating the 1417 even @ 35 yards! Very please with the 70 yard grouping, especially as the wind kept picking up :-)

    Yep, only a .22lr at the moment, but as this will be a keeper, it will be mounted on what every I own in the future. The jolly old 25 Wedding Anniversary is coming up and a Beretta Silver Pigeon was on the cards but, I have several Shotguns so it looks as if my "keeper" will be a Zeiss Conquest DL 3-12x50 IR. £800 or there about for my gun, £900 or there about for the scope, job done
  10. David Aiken
    Maybe a high quality (£500-800) 6x50 (or 40) zero on 60 yards. Only a 2" difference between 20-70 yards so aim slightly high for long shots and low for near, every thing in the middle will be spot on and don't worry about the zoom?

    If I buy new I`m thinking of a Nikon Pro Staff 5 3.5-14x50 IR SF Rifle Scope. Can we get the Custom Turret in the UK? http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/xrt/spoton.html#turret:1
  12. David Aiken
    Ok, I have my Anschutz 1417 (turned up in perfect condition, hardly used!) with its cheap Rhino 3-9 x 50 Scope, It is spot on at 60 yards with Eley subs, but it deserves a better scope. What scope power are you all using? The 9 x mag seams a little lean @ 70-75 yards for me old eyes and I was thinking more of a 4-12 mag range, or not, (fixed mag?) I`m open to advise here. (40 to 50 objective?) So the question is, with theses 5 price ranges what would your preferred Scope for a Anschutz 1417? (Rabbits 30 yards to yards). I`m happy to spend £100 if the "perfect scope" exists at that price,

    16 weeks is point of lay. so by 22 weeks you should have 6 eggs per week per bird for at least a couple of months until they settle into the correct laying amount for the particular species of laying bird. The all look to be at least 30 weeks to me?

    In sub 12ftlbs you need just two rifles, a HW100s in .22 and a HW100kt in .177 (Just the HW100kt in .177 to go Mrs Wife )

    So....Not only is it time to try the O/U Sabatti which I have been given, I have just realized the trip to Detling (Abbey) Clay grounds can be halved by taking the Hurstwood Road Green lane route! Feeling rather pleased #sogladigotmygreenlanepermit.

    The question asked about checking in the "field"
  18. David Aiken
    The Birthday present has arrived and its perfect Plano Gun Guard SE Series Contour Single Scoped Rifle Case eBay item number: 281064365878 Just need the FAC to turn up so I can pick up my Anschutz 1417 Thumbhole .22LR. Oh come on Kent Police FAC Office!
  19. David Aiken
    No point having a crono in your car boot! If your out in the field and check and find its over 12 ftlbs, unless you have the tools for a strip down and adjust you are in possession of a section 1 firearm. It don't matter if you put it away in your boot all safely lock away, its still a section 1 without a FAC!!
  20. David Aiken
    Hopefully I`ll be there
  21. David Aiken
    Well, that was quick! I applied for my Green Lane Permit with Kent County Council on the 14th of April and it came yesterday! Maybe Kent Police can be this efficient with my FAC application New Tyres fitted, and off we go!

    The owner is a fault. If you are delivering a letter ect and the need arises to push the item through the letter box, the home owner is at fault regardless of the actual letter box its self, dog, cat ect that caused the injury. By having a letter box you have granted permission for it use, and as such it is governed by law.
  23. David Aiken
    Just found the Kent County Council site, many are permit only, so, permit applied for!

    Its hard to know what is shut (restricted) There are several at Cliffe including the RSPB Nature Reserve. Perry Hill towards Cliffe. Cobham looks good and I am sure Bredhurst woods (Scragged Oak) is open? Some in Lower Rainham and Hook Wood. There are several at Boxley Warren and Burham. I just don't know how to get started? http://www.bywaymap.com/index.html

    So, where can I go Green Laning in North & mid Kent? I am near Boxley, Detling, Thurnham and the surrounding area. I see routes but as a newbe I am unsure where to start!
