Cheers. Thats a very modest bag there. I get loads with a wander with th 20 bore. The pigeons will be given my usual flash fry treatment. Them perms are amazing, a real privalage to have them. I'm very lucky to be able to fill my boots with phesants with the shotgun there too in season for taking care of the rabbits there. And there's loads of phesants too! I'll not shoot the white one tho. Bad luck I hear! Was nice to do a bit of airgun hunting, really took me back. Really enjoyed the challenge too. Different kettle of fish and very tricky. Fair play to airgun hunting purists.

I was informed the agr tuning guys can take a .177 HW 99 right up to 11.5 ft/lbs easily using the Vortek kit.

Sandwell will only use .22 as they are unable to get up there in .177.

[tomburras 2,730]

When I fitted the .177 wonky donky kit to the imp with a washer it was a bit warm! Removed the washer then perfect. I expect this could be something to do with the high efficancy vorteck seal? I dont know I'm only learning about theese things but if I can get wd kits for any future projects it will be the first kit I'd use.

WD kits are very good and a good price along with his tunes

I like the little shotty Tom, never shot a s/s 20, do you find them a bit bumpy at the muzzle.

No its lovely - its a little gem, had it years. Its a kestrel and cost me £110 maybe 10+ years ago. Originally baught for close range ferreting with a pocket full of nets. I often found the .410 pattern a bit tight and over 25 yards wasn't happy using it. This 20 bore converted me - my 12 bores are now gone. So light to carry and pointable and drops stuff the same as my 12 bores did.

[philpot 5,031]

Hmmmm food for thought Tom. I have spoken to a few people who have now switched to a 20 bore o/u for game shooting and seem to be very happy with them.
