  6. FRONTERA SPARE WHEEL

    in Other Sales

    Posted · Edited by Dodgemball

    I HAVE IN MY GARAGE A BRAND NEW SPARE WHEEL FOR A VAUXHALL FRONTERA THAT I NO LONGER NEED. THIS WHEEL COST WELL OVER £100 BUT AS IT IS SURPLUS TO MY REQUIREMENTS I WILL LET IT GO FOR £30.

    DUE TO THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF IT THE WHEEL HAS TO BE COLLECTED RATHER THAN POSTED.

     

    WHEEL DETAILS: FEDERAL COURAGIA, 245/70 R16 107H

     

     

     

    now sold!

  9. .17 HMR bore cleaning

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    I have a cz varmint .17 hmr and find it needs cleaning after all outings even if I've only put through five or six rounds.

    .17's leave a lot more **** in your barrel compared to say a .22 this is because .22 rounds pretty much clean the barrel every time thy are fired.

    A tip for cleaning your .17 is to invest in a good cleaning rod and push through a couple of earbuds that have been cut in half. You can push one or two through with bore cleaner on them and then finish it off with a couple of dry ones. It works for me.

  13. Steel Shot

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    My local clay ground sells Gamebore Steel shot and have an information poster up explaining a few facts about Steel shot. The information seems to be a Gamebore publication and the bit that really intrested me was where it said that steel shot cartridges were fine to through shotguns that are not proofed for it. The reason they give for this is was that because the steel is contained in the plastic cup of the wad it never actually comes into contact with the interior of the barrel.

    Has anyone ever heard this before?

     

    Many Thanks

  14. Game Cartridge Advice Wanted

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    I have enjoyed shooting clays for a few years now and I am very happy with my choice of clay cartridge but this year I've joined my first pheasant and partridge shoot and have no idea of which cartridge to use.

    Please can some of you experienced game shooters offer some advice an which manufacturer and shot size etc to use. Plus will I have to shoot fibre wad or can I stick with plastic wads.

     

    Many Thanks

  17. Clean Fox Kills

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    I have recently been shown how to squeek foxes and can now get them to come within thirty feet from me. So far I have not taken a shot on a fox because I would like to know where to place the shot for a clean kill. I shoot a .17 Hmr and have read many articles of people killing foxes with this cal.

    Please can anyone offer any advise.

  20. which lamp kit to use

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    I am a keen rabbit shooter and now that the dark evenings are closing in I want to get a lamp kit. I shoot a CZ varmint .17 Hmr with a 4-14x50 scope fitted and would appriciate some advice on which lamp kits are the best.

     

    I shoot on my own more often than not so I feel a gun mounted lamp would be best for me.

     

    Many Thanks
