stevo I am defo listening to you buddy as I really don't want to buy the wrong gun but these 410's are so quiet and would be perfect its just the range here is another 410

Im not sure how far some of these shots are but they cant be far off the 40 yds mark at times

Bluebarrels What sort of range are you shooting the cords at with the hushpower Cheers

Send or take it to the airgun doctor in cannock chase he is the best you will find sorted my hw100 while I waited it' now better than new Don' take anywhere else honestly he is superb ask on the airgun forum or check out his Google reviews airgun doctor

Need to shoot them in the air but cant ' with 12g due to noise I've tried it and farmer not impressed Seen vids on you tube of silenced 410 and they look pretty good 40-50 yds no problem and quiet but wanted some real advise on anyone on here that uses one

I have some rooks to shoot and plenty of them but its in a delicate area right next to a golf course and the farmer doesnt want to upset the golf club I was thinking of buying a slilenced 410 but not sure what to buy do I just buy a cheap single shot £150 gun or do I need to spend more money and go newer I found this on gunmart https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/shotguns-silenced/baikal/single-shot/12-gauge/180413204504001 but I dont know anything about these guns Whats your thoughts

Might need to invest in another gun then There are a few 20g and 410''s about silenced what would be the preferred choice for shooting rooks in a delicate area I shoot a few with the air rifle but need to shoot them in flight

I' out now old'un very pleased with but its' not a good day for the pigeon shooter its ' very still here and hardly seen a thing I've come into the woods now with my air rifle to do some squirrel bashing around the pheasant feeders

Can these be fitted to any 12g o/u or does it need to be a single barrel semi auto type gun

I will take a pic of the buds Definitely eating the buds or tips of the branches been hitting it hard for the past 5 days not the trunk or branches definitely the tips as they have been bobbing around on my scope ?

I have some large sitty trees at the bottom of my garden but I don't know what sort they are but the pigeons have started taking great interest in them sitting on the branches eating the buds The buds are like a bundle of black small grapes rough looking does anyone know what these are and why the pigeons have suddendy starting eating them I know they are not oak or beech but not sure what type of treees they are

please delete this thread due to no interest so advertised else where Thanks

This is my dads gun would be open to offers on this

the farmer has specifically asked me to reduce the numbers due to getting out of hand so if I don't do it he will ring someone who will then that's another person on my permission and I am the only one on there at this time

When is the time to shoot young rooks (branchers) is it mid may Also what time scale do you get where they are in the branches before taking flight is it a few hrs or a few days as dont want to miss this period Will I need to go and check the rookery daily Cheers

Air gun doctor told me that all the internals on my hw100 are stainless or alloy anyway so moisture wouldn't matter

Well had 3 farmers come back to me this week and been to see them all now so now have over 2000 acres to go at Various land to include winter rape with pigeons on it some 200 acres to be drilled with barley and maize in the next few weeks Last one just got back from today is a sheep and cattle farm which is a little gem about 450 acres with lots of rabbits and also a huge rookery of about 50 nests or so and loads of activity farmer is desperate for me to thin these out as he has three ponds and the rooks are eating the ducklings and he loves the ducks he has built homes for them on all the islands Lastly same farm has a rat issue round the sheds so will have some great fun with the nv wolf on my hw 100 on rats Can't believe what I have got in the last 7 days still grinning now can' wait to get started might go later to get some rooks Cheers

I'm' off to a clay ground today to see a mate of a mate who is an instructor so will see what he says

Hi all I am just getting back into shooting after a lengthy break Question is I am right handed so shoot with gun in my right shoulder but I am left eye dominant so when I shoot with my left eye shut my gun is now point left of where I think it's pointing What are my best options here I have tried to shoot left handed and that is NEVER going to work would be better of putting the gun between my legs and using my toes So do I try to learn to shoot with both eyes open I could really do with some advise as don't know how to over come this issue or am I making too much of this but I need to get to the bottom of it Cheers Shawn

Tikka t1x in hmr I have the 22lr on order

Cheers dave Thanks for the heads up on this

My jack Russell would eat her dry food in less than 30 seconds I bought a special bowl with the towers in it so she has to lick it up now it takes her about 3-4 minutes to eat the same amount They really do work well

looks like all the machinery is very modern and very new all shiny drills and 12 month old tractors etc so don't think there will be much wasted there is also a lot of woodland about and I have seen the birds going into roost so could be some sport there also been told I can go after the rabbits with my new rimfire and nv kit and also looking forward to putting squirrel feeders in the woods and getting the tree rats with the hw100 all seems to good to be true

Got myself some new permission at the week end two farms totalling nearly 1000 acres One is planted with wheat and winter rape and has some pigeons on it when I was there on sat The other has about 100 acres that the farmer is going to sew spring barley and maize asap when fields are dry enough he said he will text me day before he starts and I can shoot as much as I like Never had a chance like this before just wanted any tips on shooting over drilled barley and maize which would be best option or Is it wait and see what the birds do Cheers

I have just bought this gun very nice chap to deal with sending to my local dealer cant wait
