Buy a bottle of Rice Wine Vinegar and a box of Cornstarch (Morrisons do both) then ask google - it's so easy and if you do it once I reckon you will use the method time and time again. I think that it coats the meat and seals in the moisture - we treat chicken this way for our chinese and Indian dishes - wish I had discovered it years ago cos the difference is remarkable.

If you use Chicken breast then try "velveting" it first - really easy to do and the meat is so tender and moist - never have to eat dry or chewy chicken again. It'a a technique commonly used in Chinese cookery bit works in any dish.

According to an email in my possession (from the Tula factory) these bright finished guns were made by their "very finest craftsmen" to be used as demo models - around 50 were made - the stock is walnut and usually has skip cut checkering.

Dont charge to more than 150bar - remove any mod that you have fitted and single load 10 rounds then get back to us.

Got a 13 yo Springer here very much on her last legs - she collapsed this very morning and we had to carry her near half a mile to the car, after a good rest she has perked up but I fear the inevitable looming. Really feel for your loss - if you find a way of avoiding becoming a blubbering wreck please let me know, in the meantime my thoughts are with you.

mudpatten - I'm going to need some educating here - some Browning's are bored at .741 from new so how come they are not "out of proof"? I always thought that a gun in the UK is proofed at it's stamped size (and they vary from make to make) but then became out of proof only when the bore becomes worn .010 thou or more?

But I am not a trader!! so different parameters apply. At the end of the day it's the way I normally like to buy/sell but if the buyer/seller does not like the "terms" then the sale simply does not go ahead. Another way of looking at your food example is that I Cannot think of a Supermarket that doesn't offer a 100% refund on an item that "fails to satisfy" - I have returned hundreds of food items for a refund that were, in my opinion, below standard - even if it's simply a lack of flavour. If you want to return a car after a short while (30 days I think) then you simply view the car without giving any details - wait a few days then buy it over the phone, you are then covered by the distance selling act - you have the right to return the car within said 30 days without even giving a reason. I fully understand your points and I did not think you were suggesting that I would rip anybody off, but there is normally 2 ways to look at a problem and a myriad of solutions.

Rewulf - if the seller doesn't like the agreement then they are under no obligation to sell to me, most shooting men are honest in my experience. Why would I rip someone off? Have also posted Airguns with payment agreed once the buyer has inspected and approved that the gun is as I described - I also offer a money back promise if anything goes wrong in the first year - not worth ripping people off for a few hundred quid is it?

Bought quite a few guns this way - NEVER paid up front, always agree with the seller that he pays postage to you but you are responsible for return costs if the gun is not right.

I think that this is the way forward where hunting rifles are concerned - once the system has been thoroughly tested confidence in it's ability will grow and larger production runs will bring prices down. How often have you pulled the trigger only to have a twig move in the way or a Squirrel drop it's head just at the wrong moment - with your quarry alarmed even the slightest click of a side lever being operated will cost you the kill - the ability to send another pellet down range without any discernible sound or movement can only be a bonus. Only downside I can see is that some idiots may be tempted to follow a moving target and just keep firing - the chances of wounding would be unjustifiable but I can see the temptation.

Our local Park has started using them in small numbers over last Winter but only in areas where it is impossible to shoot. They have put them up high enough that you need a ladder to reach them as one was stolen and camouflaging them makes them less effective because Squirrels are naturally inquisitive and drawn towards them being strange. No non target species have been found dead so far but foxes tend to remove anything dead within hours of it hitting the floor. Downside to date are price and the need to attend the trap regularly to see how many times it has triggered or change the Co2 capsule. WORD OF WARNING - these things keep a charge in the "chamber" even if you remove the capsule - I know of at least one person who put his finger inside an "empty" display model only to get his finger smashed.

That's the ONLY nice thing I will ever say about a Daystate.

Nikko Gameking - pin sharp from just under 20 yards till way beyond 200 - less than £50, used, never missed a beat.

Dont get all girlie and start flogging your valuables - practice mounting your rifle as often as you can and if you move you head back slightly from the perfect eye relief position (ie you can see a black ring around the edge of your sight picture) you can use this ring to ensure that your eye is central - you can do this without even thinking about it after a while - you can never practice too much -fair to say that an experienced shot with a Bicycle pump, a length of hose and a Pea will out shoot a rookie with a Ripley every day. Apologies if my post has caused you concern over your outfit - it's an extremely capable outfit and looks stunning.

I'm sure that if you search for the scopes specs you will find that it is designed for full bore use - normally 100 yards or 90 mtr. Google your scopes model and put parallax into the title you will find conformation. Might be wrong but I have a nasty habit of being right - you really need an Air Rifle designated scope or one with PX adjustment - Nikko Gameking would be my choice (about £50 used) but there are soooooo many others - many will suggest Hawke but I have never found their optics up to Nikko for quality - but everybody's eyes are different. Try before you buy - price is no guarantee that the scope will love you.

Nice scope, but parrallax is non adjustable and set at 90m - not really an Air Rifle scope?

Haenel 310?

OMG - get a life.......should we ban kids playing soldiers with cap guns, maybe licensing water pistols is next? Harmless fun.

Aldi Glen Marnoch Isley - cheap as chips and won the "best in the world" in 2018.

Put a dish of seed in the corner of the shed - if the seed starts to get eaten then put a Scarecrow next to the dish and top up the seed. If the seed level still drops try bursting into the shed every 10 minutes waving your arms frantically. If ,despite all your efforts, the seed continues to be consumed, shoot the bloody pest.

I do the same, Dave at Kelton, but if I get distracted my ESS plays the game on his own - problem being we have sometimes walked half a mile before I realise he no longer has the dummy so I then have to walk all the way back - anything up to about 200 yards and he remembers, beyond that he doesn't really have the confidence to go where he cannot see me. I often resort to hiding the thing up a tree (only a couple of feet up) then walk him away around 50 yards before sending him to retrieve it - seems to totally mess with his brain but he is starting to get the hang of it.

Had more enjoyment from my Springer than any toy that I ever owned, would give my right arm for him if he needed it.

Wow - so many good times coming your way, enjoy every minute.

You haven't stated what sort of cake is on offer - schoolboy error.

Easy to alter to your own taste - I like mine a little sharper and I'm addicted to dipping chips in it! So cheap and easy to make.
