.22 rimfire

just a point of interest-the gun doesnt have to be cocked to be classed as a loaded firearm by the boys in blue-if theres a pellet in the breach then you are guilty of carrying a loaded firearm despite the fact that its harmless until you cock the thing.

i dont think that saying that he didnt realise the gun was being used would help the organiser -in fact i think it would go against him as it was his gun that was not secured as to prohibit its use by a third party-an offence in itself.

Good luck with the tuning-if done properly then the 97k would be nearer the prosports build quality.I would spend a little more initially and go for the Air Arms-much as ive been a weirauch fan all my life i dont think that they are a match for the AA products.I worked as a precision engineer for near 30 years and have used and sold most of the German guns in that time-whereas both AA guns i have bought are still in my cabinet and i wouldnt part with them.

build a den? why not just lay on a sack or something quiet and wait?-too much disturbance near the holes will spook the bunnies so i cant see the point + once the numbers are under control you have to remove it again.

maybe putting it into perspective would help-65 years ago guys of 18-19 were piloting bombers all the way to germany -responsible for the entire crew and knowing that they had little chance of surviving a year.Whats the worst that can happen?if you fail (and i sincerely hope that you dont) the sun will still come up tommorow and you will pass another day.Instead of winding yourself up try remembering the times youve been worried to death about something that turned out to be nothing.Stay calm-talk to your examiner about something unconected with the test before you start and then do your best-its all anyone can ask of you and if you are up to standard (you know that you are) then you will pass-best of luck (but you wont need it)-bruno.

RWS high velocity or Eley extra subs-best by a mile

quite a few members agreed to boycott avalon a few weeks back.

what a bunch of sexually self sufficient ********-uncle sam should be ashamed.

The organiser is totally responsible under Health and Safety regs.He failed to ensure the safety of participants in this instance and was negligent in not making sure that a NOP (normal operating procedure) was in place at each shooting stand and that those on the stand were aware of it.The onus is on the organiser now to prove that all "reasonable" safety precautions were taken and explained to those on site.As a slight deviation from this-it is EXTREMELY rare for a gun made in the last 20-30 years to fire unless someones finger is on the trigger because of the use of intercepting sears-this could be proved quite easily by having the gun examined by a reputablr RFD-it might be used to counter-claim against the person holding the gun at the time but its a long shot.As soon as members of the public are allowed onto any site that site becomes public-even if not invited!+failing to ensure the safety of the public is an imprisonable offence.

I think you will find it hard to beat the air arms pellets-not cheap but well worth it.

If i was faced with this problem i would just ask around for someone with ferrets-but it might be a bit late if youngsters are about-you could snare them or just carry on laying and waiting for them-if they are really timid i would use a .22 silenced rimfire from 60-70 yards back.I cant help but think that you may be a little impatient -why not enjoy the sport while it lasts?-not a criticism so please dont be offended-but once they are gone so is your sport.

Ive never heard of baiting rabbits but im sure someone on here has-if they are lamp shy why not lie in wait near the burrys and shoot them as the light fades? im guessing that as its a golf course its not smothered in rabbits and that each population is quite concentrated-should be easy to control the numbers if you just wait for them-restrict ranges to where you can be sure of a clean kill and wait till they are away from the holes before shooting them-if one makes it back to the warrenb kicking and sqealing then, apart from being cruel, you can kiss sport goodnight for a fair while.

Please dont take offence but why did you spend £200 on a barrel when you could replace the gun for that?

my hw80 was a few pence over £20-next day insured-royal mail will transport but parcel force dont.

ask local farmers-plenty around mk

Not sure how your neighbours would react if you started trying to attract rats into your garden-im pretty sure that would be illegal-try local farms and you might get lucky.Unless they are a in serious numbers you rarely see them during the day-about an hour after sunset and if they are there you cant miss them.Shooting rats is one of the most exciting uses for an airgun-sometimes they are so close that you cant focus a scope on them.A number of years ago i was invited onto a farm that was over-run with them-when we first arrived i thought that the farmer was having a laugh at my expense as we could not find any rats at all.Then it got dark.The following day my shooting buddy and i invested in 2 semi automatic 9mm garden guns-it was the only way either of us would return!

I would look at the HW90-out of date , i think, but built to last-they are powered by a gas-ram.The only springer that "springs" to mind as being relativly quiet is the Air Arms tx200-perhaps the .22 version as the slower pellet may make a little difference.Have you tried talking to your neighbours?-they may have a good reason for concern (kids in the garden for example)-perhaps you could reach a compromise as to certain times of the day.You could let them know that you are keen to be reasonable and that if they continue to call the police they may be charged with wasting police time.

Relum t2oo for a few years-bought a HW35 with my first 2 weeks wages.

the little girl that walks thru our house at night-even the vicar cant get rid of her.

hi-bought an s200 but no manual and the pdf on the AA site is a bit vague-my trigger is fine on the first stage but once resistance is felt it creeps for ages before firing-which screw do i turn?-thanks in advance + anyone got a silencer going cheap as the things louder than my rimfire-bruno.

this scam can be worked 2 ways-they either want you to verify your bank details to gain access to your account then rob your account or open others using yours as a verified account or the newer way is to actually put money into your account using a copied business cheque.your account shows the money as being there and several banks have even confirmed that these funds are in users accounts.they will then contact you to say that they have spotted their error and would like the money back as you have no right to it-however you may keep say 10% as a fee/apology.Normally they ask for a bankers draft or some form of payment other than a personal cheque.So off goes your money to them-meanwhile the bank finds out sometime later (and it can be months)that the initial cheque is a forgery and washes its hands of all responsibility-you are responsible for the lot-nice people eh?

Bali-they tried ebay last year-no takers! :blink:

Anyone want a Stuffed Badger in a nice wood/glass case-used to be a centre piece in a school hallway but no longer deemed suitable-free to first person-collect only in Bucks.p.m. me and i will get back 2u asap.NOW RE-HOMED..

no worries but take the rust off first or the particles may stick the the breech when the shell expands upon firing.
