I think you're really after us justifying you buying another gun, aren't you? We all know the sub 12ftlbs .22 will do the job with ease. So the big question is. What gun are you buying next? As for pellets, what ever the gun likes for everything. Swapping and changing can alter poi and grouping and is generally a pita. Have fun with whatever you buy.

Pointed out to a supporter of this plan that generally foxes have no understanding of the spoken or written words of man and therefore could not find anything a human said offensive. And to be offended on behalf of something that has no compression of said wrong is beyond stupid. The person was unable to mount a counter to my point, surprisingly 🤔

Thanks, I'll pass that on.

Do you shoot springers much. It's all about consistency and keeping up the use. I'm just back this year on rifle shooting after a couple of years out, and my grouping used to be 5 shot in a 20mm group, it's 5 in 40mm until I get my eye and consistency back in. Practice, and more practice and find a pellet it likes. When testing pellets run 40-50 down to lead the barrel and then shoot 5 shot groups. Don't chase zero as a gun will never zero with a pellet it doesn't like. You looking for good groups first so as long as the pellets hit your target when you aim at the bull let it be Once you've found a pellet it likes, zero it, again with 5 shot groups then adjust. You may think that's a lot of faffing about but the more you shoot it the better you'll get. Practice and consistency are key with springers, also check out "The Artillery Hold" on tubeyou. Good luck and enjoy.

My ultra went about 2 years, all good. 👍🏻

What's the group name matey,I don't login to faceache from anywhere but my app. I just don't risk it.

If anyone is looking, could be a decent "in". Woman with chickens is having a big problem with rats. The post was on a faceache group and she's receptive to all and any options. If your interested leg me know and I'll try snd put you in touch. North Devon is all I have atm.

Personally When I first get my paws on it and then I leave it alone unless something goes awry. If I'm pellet testing I run 30 to 50 down to lead the barrel the test on targets and chrony.

It is in deed, but all gun crime is recorded the same way soo 🤷

When I moved my cabinet I informed my feo by email and received a response to the effect of. "Gun security is your problem, we won't check until your next renewal inspection".

I'm with nfu too, only have to list items over £2000 iirc. Guns and cabinet were mentioned but the value was the only stipulation.

Our laws for law abiding folks owning guns are some of the most stringent in Europe. What we need is an office fit to carry out the duty in a timely, efficient and responsible manner. Whether that be at county or national level. Maybe they should clamp down on ghe number of illegal guns in the country. 🤷

Not sure why this was moved when it's about birds on the GL, but there you go. @TIGHTCHOKE I'll let you know if and when matey. 👍🏻

In my local faceache group someone posted a pic of a couple of these blighters in their garden and was rewarded with the usual ohhs and arrs and aren't they pretty. All I did was point out that like grey squirrels they are an invasive alien species that bring nothing but harm to the local native fauna. Got dogs abuse for that comment and one bloke stated with all the authority he could muster that if they became a problem then someone like the RSPB would organise a controlled and humane cull. I think he had the wind knocked out when I informed him that a government body and not a waste of money charity had already deemed them a problem and put them on the general licence. I then informed the nice chap that any that came my way would be dealt with appropriately, don't think he liked that. I hadn't realised they were this far up the country yet, Stafford north side, not that far from me and a 100 acre Wood that's between land I shoot and Stafford.

I really like hawke scopes, think all the guns I use have them on. For a cheap effective nv look at the photon xt. It's what I've been using with great success.
