My mate has a howa 1500 stainless with a laminate stock (not varmint barrel). It is bullet on bullet at 100yds with hornady 40gr v-max. A very nice gun that knocks big holes in foxes.

If you've got .22lr, FAC air is a waste of time. Get some 35ft/lb bulets (CCI 29gr 710fps), these will do what a good FAC air rifle will do without spending hundreds of pounds. Edit: It will probably be quieter too with a half decent mod.

The is a good choice if you are going to go FAC with it. The 95 is better if you're staying sub 12ft/lb. Both very similar guns, but the is a bit "bulkier" to take a bit more power with ease.

That's more like it.

Daft as it sounds, it would probably be 5 times the price at a gun shop. (just like everything else shooting related, we get robbed)

I's happened to me quite a few times.

I'd like to try that, but I think the .243 would make a new hole in the pan, and turn the wood to sawdust!

Silicone grease? Try a plumbers merchant.

theres a big differance between a roo and a rabbit about 7 ft My point exactly!

I see you vapourised it's head at that range . Wht do you wan't to use a .223 when the .243 does the job so well?

They shoot roos from a chopper. You'd need a damn good pilot to hold it steady to take a bunny.

Just like mine. No "K" to be seen.

That's strange. Mine isn't. Look again at what I posted. The one on the market 2 years ago was not shorter.

Get what you feel comfortable with, but shop around, those prices are not too keen. £620 for a T3 Hunter is £70 over priced.

It's all about precision. My mate took a rabbit at 312yds with a 9x mag. He had to wait until it turned side-on so that the cross hairs didn't "blank it out". It would have been so much easier with a 16 or 20x.
