old'un - think you mean "TELLY" - made by Relum who also made the T100, T200 and the Tornado, they also built a self loading type springer I believe that has become rather collectable.

Humbled by your gratitude, ips, there are many, many members on this forum that are more than happy to offer any help that they can and I am delighted that you consider my actions worthy of your thanks.

Standard policy at our local surgery. 1/ you ring and describe your symptoms to the receptionist. 2/ She (invariably) relays your description to the Doctor over the next couple of hours. 3/ If the Doctor thinks you need to be seen going by the description given, he (or she) rings you for a more accurate description. 4/ If the doctor thinks that you deserve an appointment he relays the message to the receptionist and invites you to ring said receptionist to arrange an appointment. If the doctor thinks that your symptoms are not serious then no call or further contact is made. Simples

If it helps I have a Hawke Sport HD 3-9x50 AO scope gathering dust - you are welcome to borrow it for as long as you need it.

A true Gentleman with a calming voice that could entertain without effort, it's a real shame that he did not seem to go on to bigger and more lucrative TV work when he was easily capable of running rings around most modern "presenters", God Bless you John.

It is NOT too late to return the gun - check your consumer rights and forget about the old chestnut of one years warranty - this is over and above your rights. If the gun is not performing as it should then it is not fit for purpose and has not lasted a reasonable time. Any doubts simply contact consumer direct.

If you want a long pellet then JSB Exact Heavies are a good example.

Load the gun and put Talcum powder around the loading port then fire it - does a puff of powder escape? How old is the gun btw?

Daystate MK3 - expensive pile of carp, stunning trigger but rest of the Gun was pants. Also anything ever made by Diana G80 etc.

Happy to post you 50 Extremes if it helps - just pm me your address, I use them (.177) on Squirrels.

At a guess - the original marks are post 1924 and show the actual bore size/chamber length, the later proof marks show that it has passed proof for use with standard 2 1/2" cartridges? Only a guess though.

SOLD HOURS AGO

Sweet Spot? On a Springer?

As far as I am aware Guns on local Authority Education facilities are about as welcome as a snake in a Lucky Dip.

So nearly right, manthing - spotting a rabbit/squizzer at 25-35 yards and getting a clean kill then convincing your drinking buddies that it was 60 yards is on the money.

You are not a "true" Airgunner until you have spent countless hours pointlessly arguing over which calibre is best - So to help you out I'm going to give you a cue.....Whichever calibre your 95 is, it's not the right one so there.....

Must be one of the very worst pistols ever made - I bought one and soon realised what a massive mistake I had made, even when running as it should accuracy is more of a lottery than ,well, the Lottery. Give it away, burn it or melt it down and turn it into something more useful then go buy a HW45 or an early 1322 pump up pistol (MUST have a metal breach and NOT plastic) and Bobs your uncle. Doesn't help your situation I'm afraid but they really are a Chocolate Tea Pot.

A recent call from my FEO - "just checking up on a 12g Lewis that you sold to a Dealer in Leics - we don't seem to have any record of where you bought it from". My reply that I have never owned a Lewis nor sold a Gun to a dealer was met with a few seconds of silence before..."Oh, Ah well, I will just scrub that one out then"!!!!!

Bags above a handful are Rooks surely not Crows?

Is it really worth the hassle for a few extra yards? If you want to reach out further without spending a fortune just buy a used CZ .22lr, you can pick them up for pennies and, with practice, they will wipe the grin off any Crows face at 100yards - if you want to upset Crows even further and enjoy watching them explode in a cloud of feathers seemingly before you have finished pulling the trigger - get a .17 HMR

Have given my sincerest words of admiration to OB a few days back when I received a copy of the post but it will not hurt to repeat them....cracking post (most likely the best I have read to date on PW), as for Demonwolf's work I can only say that it has to be seen to be believed - some people are simply meant to do certain things - with James it's Guns, not only is he a genius with his hands but his knowledge of all things Gun related is astonishing when considering the young head on his shoulders. Keep the Gun OB and enjoy it because no amount of money spent on a modern gun will ever compare to the thrill of using such a work of art.

Wood looks like a far nicer piece than the Walnut on the one I sold - mine would have taken serious skill to make it pretty enough to be worth burning.

Under new Racism regulations all Blackbirds are to be renamed "coloured" birds and must comply to this new dress code.

Keeping a Dog in a cage for lengthy periods is, to my mind, nothing short of mental cruelty. If the Dog is only allowed out for the occasional walk on a lead then I would guess that it's life is a complete misery - more so if it is a Sporting type dog such as a Lab or Springer.

Driving over towards Olney earlier this week when a sudden bang from under the Car forces me to stop and check that nothing has fallen off the old Jalopy ( and also the "Boss" made me) so I pulled by the side of the Road and did my best to look concerned and intelligent as I scanned the area around the Car. After having spent what I considered enough time looking to keep "her" happy I was about to regain my rightful position when a youngish chap appeared from an over grown Gateway and looked my way. I hastily nodded and exchanged the obligatory "alright". "NO" - he spat out as he walked towards me. My immediate thought was to get in the Car quick in the fear that I may have just ran over his Barbie's favourite Jeep but the explanation was far more interesting ******* Rabbits - eating my plants faster than I can put them in the ground" Turns out that the chap had invested money in a piece of land and was trying to mimic the "Good Life" by growing all his own food but Rabbits were destroying his best efforts. A quick peek over the Gate revealed about 30 or 40 Acres and several Rabbits were feeding even though it was near midday. A few minutes chatting and I'm in!!! Come as often as I like and use whatever I want as long as the Rabbits get gone - his land is surrounded by fields so no problems with neighbours and I might take the Air Arms carbine till they begin to wise up then finish the job with the RF - whichever way it's happy days ahead
