  1. Hi There,

     

    Been thinking of possibly getting into stalking but wondered if there is anyone out there willing to take me along on a couple of stalks (minus gun).

     

    I am in Kent so south would be handy.

     

    Have my own small phesant /rough shoot and do a ot of vermin with rimfire.

     

    Have used full bore during my time in the Navy.

     

    Cheers lads.

  2. I have 3 rimfires all with different scopes on but all are not that brilliant.

    They seem to go off for no reason (no its not the user) as i have bench tested before shooting and on my return.

    I want to purchase a good reliable scope so expect to have to pay a bit more.

    Only shooting to to 50/60mtrs

     

    Any ideas would be handy.

  3. Hi There.

    My other non shooting dog walker has informed the RSPCA and police but no feedback as yet.

    These are urban/semi rural fox's and are always seen in gardens and roads around the area i am talking about so would be a easy kill for someone who knows where to place them.

    I have actually seen a fox being chased through his garden by his dog so he is more than likely a bit hacked off.

    Its the lack of a backstop on the hill that would concern me.

    Thanks for your comments.

  4. He is shooting from his garden that is on the top of the bank so shooting blind downhill towards the private houses and dog walkers.

    Sorry its difficult to give you all the details,just thought that the ranges he is using would be about 60/70 mtrs from highseat to where the carcases and walkers walk.

    He does have neighbours either side and a main road on the front.

    Its in the middle of Walderslade kent if anyone knows it.

  5. Thanks for the comments everyone.

    The wood is divided up between the housing estate where we live and private houses the other side of the wood,some fenced some not.

    The dog walkers have always been allowed to walk on the unfenced area as it is on quite a slope.

    One of my problems is the fact that we can well do without bad press and i know the police and RSPCA have been informed.

    The other is the disregard for the resulting travel of the bullets (whatever he is using).

    I and my wife both walk our dog and seeing i own 3 rifles myself i know hor rounds can travel without a backstop.

  6. I believe a neibour of mine has been shooting fox's from his high seat in his garden.

    He is backing onto woods where there is a path for dog walkers.

    I run my own shoot and shoot the odd fox and do not think he can shoot and kill these fox's (5 so far) without at least a .22 rimfire if close enough.

    Is it legal to use a rifle this close to houses and dog walkers.

    He is also throwing the carcases into the headgrow next to the dog walkers path.

  7. I've got PHs on both my rimfires (Anschutz b/a and BRNO auto) and all i usually hear with subsonics is the hammer hitting the firing pin and the bullet hitting home. You may want to look at your ammunition if its that noisey.

     

    Thanks to everyone for info,did use semi auto with parker and winchester subs,not as accurate and a lot noisyer than my bolt action with the parker and winchester subs.Will try Sak i think,not a lot of money.

  8. Both barrels going off is not a problem specific to AYA or any other double barrelled guns when pulling the first barrel trigger.

    It just indicates that some minor work needs to be done to the offending hammer/trigger sear - not a problem to a compentent gunsmith. For guns like the Matador that are fitted with a single trigger with a selective safety catch then the problem may lie there - again, go see a gunsmith for relatively easy repair.

     

    Hi There,have you sold the Matador,i know its been a year since you advertised,Regards steve
