I,ve got a remington 1100 , good buid quallity , built like a tank and never misses a beat . You get plenty of good second hand one for the money you are talking about . They make hatsans look like 'toy guns' when you compare them side by side!

Sorry that was a bit of a rant!!

This may not be a popular opinion - but I think ALL 'guns' should be licensed as a FAC including air rifles , I feel that guns are not toys and you should have good reason to own one - many adults ( not all I know) who shoot air guns do so because they could not get a FAC - surely they should not be allowed to own ANY gun? As far as storage of SG carts goes yes it would be a bit of a pain to have to lock them in a cabinet but in reality its probably not the best thing to have 3 'bricks' of carts in our garages anyway! The way we will clean up our sport is to get the guns out of the hand of the idiots like the ones who turn their .22 into a AK47 look a like and the neds with £20 air rifles and give some credibility back to the law abiding sporting gun owner.

I use a bushwear fixed hadle knife - about a fiver - razor sharp and cheap as chips

Tru oil is not a varnish and does not go hard , to remove it without taking off the varnish beneath ( and any colour stain on the wood below the varnish) you need to use a non solvent based degreaser such as a citrus baseed hand cleaner.This is not going to be a quick job as the stuff is not designed to come off onece applied iven if applied to a varnished surface! If you had any areas where the varnish was missing the tru oil will have soaked in and you will have quite some dificulty removing this - if this is the case you would be best to do as some one said earlier and 'bite the bullet' and strip and sand back to clean bare wood and do the oil job properly. best of luck

This is the sort of **** that will give all the antis what they need to atack the current gun laws . Shotguns are tools for hunting not toys for playing 'Cowboys' - these chaps should get a video game to play at killing the bad guys!

The ****** who have been poaching deer at night up here will love subs in 243 - me I like a muffled bang at night to let the farmer know I've got another fox and as for deer shooting there's only my trusty sidekick and the mountain to hear it. Too much potential for skulduggery with subsonic .243 in my paranoid jingoistic opinion

I think the bushwear £4.99 knife is one of the best knives I've had and at 10 times cheaper than some i've owned its amazing. The one I have now I planned on changing it every season - 3 years on its still razor sharp and going strong even after regular weekly use.

Heres my Landy - late series 3 od , parrabolics, 2.25 petrol - used every week as my shooting truck and goes up on to the high mountains regularly

The sailburry axle was fitted to 'long' wheel base landrovers so they will need a number of mods to make them fit a SWB. As said in a previous post you will have to have your propshaft shortened and also the spring mounts will have to moved inboard as they sit further out on a LWB. Sailsburrys are stronger axles favoured by the more extreme off roaders but the coversion is not a bolt off/ bolt on one and if you get the prop shaft shortening wrong you'll be reminded of it every time you go for a drive. The easier option in my opinion is to get a replacement axle off a SWB from a scrap yard and stick with the original set up. This option also saves any problems in diffences in brake setup too as you could get the replacement complete with back plates hubs etc.

My working landy- goes anywhere!

I think you get what you pay for with sticks - and yes I've been through the using garden sticks, canes ect phase but now use a 3 leg set of 'Bogpods' . The dont clater together , you set the height then use them as a walking staff and because of the pivoting heady you can track a moving deer before the shot. They are rock solid and have taken some good long shots off them and for open ground stalking I cant see past them. I am amazed that most shooters don't bad an eyelid at paying £100+ for a harris bipod but seem to opt for the cheapest shooting stick available and can't work out why they shoot badly!

Yes I would like these

I had this happen to my CZ 22lr - what had happened is the wood work had been removed and when re assembled the trigger pin that the triger blade piviots on slipped to the right and out of its housing slightly on one side . All looked ok and the trigger did not feel loose but the releaseing of the saftey created enough movement to slip the sear and let the gun off. 5 mins at the gunsmith put it right - it has never done it since.

I have a550 in .243 great robust gun - great for the hill and with sako 100 grain I get 1/2 inch groups at 150m

- and they should be refused - Gun ownership is a privilege and not a right and some people will not be entitled some times due to bad luck other due to their own actions. All the examples are good reasons some one should not get access to a gun - previous criminal behaviour or the close proximity of criminals is obvious and reformed or cured conditions still shows an individuals pre disposition for a condition that gun ownership would not be recomended.

I hope they do make airguns licenced - most law abiding people would have little to fear of this , I think lot of the people who have a problem with this are the ones who would fail the FAC / Shotgun licence criteria who are probably not the best people to own an air gun . Radical I know and I'm no tree hugger but if shooting is to survive we need to maintain our credabillity - the less Neds running around in the inercity estates with airguns the better. Ps - I have an opinion on Scottish Law and I live here!

I have a 1970s 1100 - brilliant gun , built like a tank , not amo fussy, like a mechanno kit to take apart and easy and cheap to get bits ( especially if you get them in the states online) I put some pastic 'ramline' woodwork on mine and picked up a multichoke barrel in the states and gave it a new lease of life. My gun is only 2 3/4 chambered but with mini mag amo its as good as any 3" chambered goose gun. millions of rednecks cant be wrong!

But you still need a game licence north of the border.

I got a serious beating in Alvechurch once !

I have a set of BOG PODs - they are at the expensive end of the scale but as I shoot deer off the once or twice a week I get my moneys worth. They are rock solid and are miles better than any other thing I have shot off. They differ from most tripod set ups as all the legs join on a fitting and the gun sitts on a pivoting v shaped rest which makes them real steady . My pal shoots foxes off them a serrious ranges 300+

They are a " Toy gun" with just too many things to go wrong . Mod it to the max?? guns are working tools and there are far better at the job than the ruger . my advice get a bolt action and learn how to be a good shot instead of ........" Rapid Fire!"

I think they are a great gun - not as techno as some of the modern itallian semi's but sold and bombproof with simple easily serviced working parts. They are built to last which makes them a bit heavy great for in the hide but not my No 1 walked up day gun! My 1100 is 20 years old and still as good as the day it came out of the factory - a few million rednecks can't be wrong!

I think most of you have missed the point - licencing Air gun ownership should reduce the ammount of ned using them and help give licenced owners the credabillity that fac and shotgun licence holders have - if you don't think you would pass the licencing maybe you shouln't be using a gun anyway!
