Pm'd you mag357

sorry , devon is a bit far for me to travel. both are still for sale

no the gun has not gone yet but lots of interest. The barrels are 30 inches. Does anybody know what width of the rib is on a game gun? because this one measures 10 mm. cheers

Hello everyone, as im off traveling in the summer i need to sell my guns to fund the trip. First of all i have a Browning 425, grade 1, fixed choke, 12 bore. in very good condition as it was only used a few time a year. I am looking for £600 o.n.o next i have a BSA 410 moderate condition im looking for £80 o.n.o im based between bath and bristol. All relevant certificates needed. pm me if interested

The other half of the beak was shot off. i have the pin feathers , all i need now is a hat. cheers matt

I think the river is at a good level at the moment. we've not had any rain for a while now so its getting better. where abouts do you normally fish spaniel? matt

yeah it was, all the river pike i have caught have been really clean, bright colours. henry, he says thanks you matt

Me and my dad went fishing today in bath, we tried two locations. The first was the weir pool in batheaston which we were told was a good spot for pike. Unfortunately nothing happened so we moved to a place 5 minutes away called newbridge, its meant to hold some very good size pike so we thought we'd give it a go and it payed off. my dad caught this on a trotted roach deadbait I also hooked a pike which was slightly smaller but it managed to unhook itself , i hooked it on lamprey when i got caught up in a tree and the bait was still in the water. we tried a few different baits including roach, herring and lamprey. cheers matt

no problem what scope are you planning on putting on it? matt

hmm , where the hell did i get that from then lol thought i read somewhere that it was regulated, my mistake matt

The s410 has a regulator in it unlike the s400 which doesnt. I have the older s400 and the way i get around the saftey issue is, put a pellet in the chamber but without cocking it, then when you want to shoot you pull back the bolt and fire. If the chance of a shot disapears you pull back the bolt to the maximum and then hold in the trigger, then you realease the bolt followed by the trigger. It works for me but i suggest that you practise this a few times first while the gun is pointing at the ground and not loaded for safety reasons. p.s the s400 is a great gun, mine is in .177 and has taken hundreds of vermin in the 3(think its 3) years ive had it. Try h&n feild in it , works best in my gun. matt

hi, i saw your ad and i really fancy the gp. was just wondering since im skint would you except 160 quid worth of greys flyfishing kit for the gun. its all unused kit which i got from insurance after my shed was broken into. thanks a lot matt

i live in wick , between bath and bristol. its a bristol postcode but its nearer to bath. matt

when we went to the farm we never intended to do any game shooting. It was purely vermin control but then a nearby pheasant shoot flushed a fair few birds over us and into a nearby hedge, we thought we might aswell take the oppertunity. All birds were taken at no more than 20 yards so it wasnt as if we attempting to take them at the same ranges as 12 bore 'game' guns. If we decide to pursue any pheasant before leaving the house i will without a doubt take the 12bore with me. The pheasant were dead in the air , no need for a humane dispatch atall cheers matt

yeah this one's growing on me, ive not had it very long and i dont think ill be getting rid of it for quite a while. when we were shooting the pigeons the farthest one i shot must have been about 30 yards away and i was very pleased. The two pheasant were shot about 20 yards away after they broke from a hedge with a stream running through it. I was using 2 3/4 inch cartridges in no.6 shot and nearly all kills were clean. matt

went out to clear some feral pigeons with two mates a few day ago and ended up with 14 pigeons, 3 squirells, 4 pheasant (two by me) all with the 410 matt

little jack pike taken on a wobbled roach couple of weeks ago on the cannal matt

just thought id add a pic of the first and only woodcock ive shot. shot it last season on a beaters day was very happy with it cheers matt

cheers ill take a look at ebay matt

i only found that out last night as somebody asked if there were any going spare, if they shed anymore i will collect them up and save them

Thought id add these pics this is one of the golden pheasant chicks that i was talking about This is the same male golden from the first pics but before he had molted out his imature feathers And finally the female reeves, ive played about with it in photoshop and thought that the sepia effect looked quite good cheers matt

cheers for the replys i was planning on having the bronze stag for xmas but in the end i thought that id prefer to keep him and breed him seeing as hes such a nice tame bird, hes my only male so if i was to eat him it would mean that id have to search about in spring when i wanted to breed a few (pain in the ***). thats a golden pheasant male. lady amherst have a white back rather than a yellow one i think?, hes my only mature male at the moment , i have about 4 other males that were bred this year. think its more likely to be had by the cold , but ill keep an eye out anyway :o i am planning on knocking up a few long, low nest boxes incase it gets frosty, i lost a few to it last winter cheers matt

just a few pics of my birds taken with my dads new camera bronze turkey hen bronze turkey stag feeding from hand bronze stag silkie hen silkie cock male reeves pheasant female italian quail goose male golden pheasant male chinese quail hope you enjoy

me and my dad thought that the fish was a bit bigger than 12 pound but were new to this so ill trust you lot , im not really a small person weinging in at 12 1/2 stone . we were thinking that it was about 14 pound?probably wrong. the drain was the blind yeo near cleavdon and yes it was packed with the jacks which were great fun to catch. i might have to try down keynsham i only live a few mins away in wick so its near enough.
