  1. personally like the eley vip cartridges shoot 28gr 6's or 30gr 5's had many a pheasant with them
  2. Replied, payment sent
  3. go on then sucker for dog and gun pictures, the studio arts reference I would have a guess they framed it, was a local art shop that recently closed down due to retirement . PayPal ok ?. let me know
  4. lol, one of the guys on the syndicate I am a member off put me on to them couple of years ago, as I was looking for a Aya no 2 , glad he did bought one last year , ok its a box lock but found it to be a good gun , and nothing like taking pheasants with a sxs . got to try it with eley traditional game steel at some time
  5. cracking guns, I shoot one myself im in , Webley & scott 700 my go to game gun
  6. yes price increases are annoying, my own personal circumstances I shoot rifle & shotgun. sold .308 rifle silly prices for ammo , don't shoot as much c/f ammo as I once did, shotgun side I shoot a bit less clays now to reduce costs , don't shoot that many boxes of cartridges on local farm shoot over season to make a great deal of difference . I have taken up airguns again a few years ago to reduce costs but even pellet prices have nearly doubled over last few years
  7. if button dosent take it, I will
  8. not been a member of BASC for many years, for various reasons , funny enough was speaking with a friend on our local farm shoot who was complaining about the price increase, told him wasn't a member and haven't been for many years . The so called voluntary ban was one of the reasons I left , but not the only one look at most of the reasons why people have left over the last few years the BASC are basically not interested on why members leave . Anyways surveys I find annoying general rigged to what they want the answers to say , rather than give us your opinions in your own words . rather than a,b or c answers and that's not a dig at BASC , I say the same at work with staff surveys . I have yet to be convinced on using steel or alloys as a alternative to lead, I have got some steel cartridges to try so will reserve judgement on the as yet, but tried non lead airgun pellets the other week, I wasn't convinced the rifles didn't group well compared to lead pellets . I also wasn't convinced with the knock over power with the pellets in comparison to lead.
  9. you can obtain the from riflemags.co.uk , if that helps not seen any s/h ones round for a while
  10. many thanks, Bismuth would be good but the cost is silly per box , just trying to find a cartridge that is up to the job, easy to obtain and not silly money, when lead is finally banned many thanks, not used steel at all up to now now but with up coming ban looking to switch but trying to find a cart that is uptown the job, affordable and easy obtainable
  11. good to hear good reports, we have a friendly pheasant shoot , we don't have many high birds , so will be sensible ranges . I hope Eley do fetch out heavier loads for the 20 gauge 24grm I use for clays , but to me seems a bit low on game , went for the Eley because of the wad as the ground we have has live stock on, so don't like using plastic wads. will give them a go on some drives and see what happens nice to hear, will give them a go, just got happy with my lead cartridges and never shot steel before , so still got the doubts
  12. Anybody got any experience of using the Eley vip 20g steel 24grm, no 4 cartridges ?. I have a few boxes to try but something is telling me that might not be as good as I am used to on pheasants , normally use vip game lead 28grm/30grm no 6/5 which I am happy with but with the lead ban getting nearer looking for viable alternatives that are cost effective for the 20 gauge
  13. shame its at the other end of the country , not coming any where north lancs anytime soon ?
  14. sent a message via contact us regarding size and colour as no way to select on ordering , many thanks to the others for the information
  15. A good few years ago I got quite a few pigeon watch polo shirts, which a few are still going strong a few need replacing . Are pigeon watch polo's still done, I remember they only did them about once a year last time I got some ?. atb mark
