gurtwurz 792 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Bloody hell, that sounds right tasty! I would never have though squirrel would taste that nice. I love Peking Duck and Mandarin pancakes with spring onions, cucumbers and Hoi Sin sauce too! trust me buddy, squirrel's loads nicer than rabbit, you just need to shoot more cos there's so little meat in comparison. dont bother skinning the whole thing, just take them up to the back of the forelegs and crack on, bloody lovely!! cheers, wurz Quote Link to post

8shot 192 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ahaaa! The pics have arrived from Mole's Intelligence HQ! PIC No.1. The rifles of the day. Weihrauch HW77 .22 rifle with Simmons Whitetail Classic 4.5-14x40. Andy's Weihrauch HW90 with the Simmons Pro Air 6-18x40 that kept him shooting. Pics 1. 2. 3. 4 and 5. Good shots showing how the slopes of this forest generally are. It gets steeper in places with little flat ground down to the river. Andy's position looking up to the top tree-line where I was more or less positioned further to left of here. And the lad himself! Pic 6 and 7 My air rifles. Top to bottom: Air Arms TX200HC .177 carbine with Bushnell Scopechief 4-14x50 AO in walnut Air Arms TX200 .22 rifle with Hawke 4-16x50 AO MAP PRO. Weihrauch HW80 FAC. .22 rifle with Simmons Whitetail Classic 4.5-14x40 AO Weihrauch HW80K FAC .22 with Simmons Pro Air 6-18x40 AO. This is the rifle I restored from a near-pile of rust over the course of a year. It's an absolute beaut of a rat-killer now! Weihrauch HW77 .22 rifle with Simmons Whitetail Classic 4.5-14x40 AO. Note the absence of a dished cheek-piece. This is a beautiful handling, unbelievably accurate rifle and scope. I could never sell or part with any of these rifles. They have all made kills at some astonishing ranges and given me some of the most memorable shooting I've ever known. Thanks for letting me share them here! Simon all them spring guns :sick: but a good read mate Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 You should 8shot. I started air rifle shooting when there was no alternative to spring power. Consequently, I love the spring rifle best of all and within the last thirty years they have reached a superb level of performance. Simon Quote Link to post
