The wildcat might be coming to mine, .25 fac, very tempted,  stunning laminate stock, left handed & I thought it was a bargain

it'll be perfect for you, ive never seen a left handed one before and didn't even know It could be done!

the thing I like about the synthetic is your hands dont freeze off on winter rat bashing sessions, and you can wipe cow shit of them easily

Trouble with laminate stock if you do ding it very hard to repair  . Like Si said synthetic wipe over job done and if it does get dinged then its cheaper to by another one

Looking at this with the eye of a Pest Controller, you got/had an ant problem?

[philpot 4,991]

Hang on big fella.............................YOU DO NOT JUST HANG UP YOUR GLOVES. I know what you and Nicola have been going through Jimmy and you KNOW you have our very best wishes in this matter BUT you NEED to have a release from the pressure mate and shooting with Ethan and Sean, Simon, Allan etc is what has kept you sane so for heavens sake don't throw in the towel.

I have not been in exactly the same place as you mate but not far away with my own son and the thing is, you and hopefully they, will come through this, please believe me Jimmy, it gets better but takes time and a whole load of heartache but it will happen.

Stick with the sub 12 for the time being and lets not forget, it has served you proud for many many years and I know you have your heart set on fac etc as you have both seen others in our group going that route and actually experienced how good they are BUT in time Jimmy it may still be possible..

 

Just listen to uncle Phil and don't jump into a rash decision based on your current state of mind my friend, I promise it will get better mate.

This is at the rfd not at my house !

[mark williams 7,553]

Ditto to Phil, Jimmy.

            I too have had to see similar and luckily is better now.

           Stay with the sport and your mates.

           Anyway sub 12 ft/lb hunting takes far more skill and field craft than a recoiless  air cannon  

 

           I`ll get my coat on the way out.

Sorry Mitch, this got a bit hijacked by me earlier mate. Looking forward to seeing the beasty and getting your feedback. Only seen the laminated stock which looked fantastic but perhaps not always practical around a farm, very pretty though.

Try to get hold of some AA Field Heavy pellets 18gr, hit very hard in fac but not so easy to get hold of. If you want to try some, let me know.

Stick with the sub 12 HW100 Mac, it does the job.  Look how well Falcongit is doing with his.
