Guest uk ken Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Hello All As this is my first post I thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm Ken, I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire with my wife and two kids. I have enjoyed different forms of hunting over the years but more recently I have been concentrating on my rabbiting with air rifles. I have been shooting since I was 7 year old starting with a Dianna 7 .177 springer and progressing through a good number of air rifles until today where I have an Webley FX 200 and a Webley Eclipse .177 springer. I am lucky to have permission to shoot over eighty acres in Bramhope just up the road from my home and have been given permission to shoot over 500 acres in Ecup. This has prompted me to apply for my FAC and get two rimfire rifles. I want a .22 and a .17 for rabbiting at differend ranges in different areas of my shoot. I have been instructed by the police to join a club to "gain experience" in order that my FAC is granted. Last night I joined the Airborough Rifle Club in Leeds so I hope to have my FAC some time soon. Right then, off for a look around!

Guest uk ken Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks for the welcome I took my FX2000 down to the range last night and did some target shooting. I got to talk to some of the members and was able to have a try of a Ruger 10/22 which had been extensively modded. With a ten shot mag this semi-automatic is great on the range when shooting two 5 sets. I didn't dislike anything about it but don't think I would need one for rabbiting. A bolt action might be quieter. The club have just bought a new CZ .22 and I hope to try this one at the weekend. For the price they do look a good option but I think a different trigger might be a good idea. They are a good set of folk down at the club and I look forward to learning more.
