IMHO the HW's are let down by HC reputation for poor customer service - used to shoot with a mate on a Rabbit control job in Cambs and he was deadly with his HW100 - but after a couple of years it developed a leak and went back to HC 3 times and was never fixed - hand on heart , he gave it away and bought an S510 which he has to this day. The S410 suffers from being boring I think and suffers in sales because of this, but if you are not bothered by the lack of weaver rails or the attempt to look like something that G.I. joe would carry, then buying one is the best decision you will ever make.

Agree 100% but the AA guns just get on and do the job dont they? TBH Stu knows more about ballistics etc than I could ever know and he champions the BSA brand so they must be pretty good. I've had just about every gun available, apart from Ripley, and I just seem to have an affinity with the AA PCP's , had my first SM100 about 20 years ago and been smitten ever since. Made the mistake about 2 years ago of thinking that there must be something out there even better than the 2 S410's that I was using on a large vermin control perm for several years, sold them and bougfht a Wildcat. Now, dont get me wrong here, the Cat is a superb gun, but is it better than the S410 in the real world? NO - it's just different and more expensive.

Mil Dots confuse a lot of people? Are we talking about people who are hard of thinking here?

Think we may be in the minority here clangerman, Stu is p****d as a newt and I think and everybody else has failed to notice that their HW's are made from the same plastic as Airfix. If everybody bought an S510 there would be nothing to debate on these cold wintery nights.

To the doubters - try it, it's sublime.

CZ Rifles UK?

To a man you've all missed the obvious solution.....buy an S510.

Dont think so, very rare when sexual self sufficiency prevails.

Nothing less than a public flogging, 2 hours compulsary listening to the Spice Girls and 2 bars of Ex Lax can forgive your error JKD.

"you're" welcome surely Stu - are you on the falling down water?

Can't stand the talentless tart, slept her way to the top, now the the fine.

Developed an addiction for Mackeson Shandy, am I alone out here?

TBH Stu, I wouldn't trust Belas to tell me the time in a room full of clocks, the daystate magazine has, as far as I know, remained unchanged for many years and presumably the breach design? But I'm just shooting the breeze here, the only HW110 I had any experience with was stupidly accurate, ugly though and I glady bow down to your knowledge on this matter 👍.

Out a few days ago in -4C with no problems apart from my dangly bits no longer dangling. You could ask the seller to return the gun under warranty, got it in writing from my S510's previous owner that he would do exactly that.

Interesting debate, when I grew up in the 70's loads of lads in the village had guns and shot Rabbits etc (not legally most often), but nowadays I dont see anything like the interest in shooting or indeed the outdoors in the local youngsters - most can kill the enemy with a Barrett 50 cal as long as there's a screen in front of them but it makes me smile when I see kids being dragged outside for a walk by their parents, if looks could kill.

Any road alterations or path relocations going on near you? Those are surveyors stickers.

My landowners are now so desperate for Squirrel shooters that they have just given my neighbour free rein over the 5k acres that I shoot, on my recomendation alone!! Normally a 6 month membership to a local range and then a proficiency test by the range owner is required just for an interview.

I dont understand why anybody is cold when you can buy heated clothing for next to nothing, tops are around £16, trousers around £20 and a decent power pack under £20 - recharge the pack at night for pennies and you will be sweating all day, they even do heated gloves now for less than £10.

Switch to Octopus, best prices I've seen and they never hassle me for anything other than a meter reading if I forget for a couple of months. Companys pushing to fit meters annoy me, if they wanted to save you money why not offer cut price LED Bulbs?

After talking to my estate manager he assured me that, after speaking to the police and BASC, we are able to travel unlimited distances for essential vermin control. To be safe just speak to your landowner and confirm that he is willing to state that the work is essential if you are stopped.

Yes 2 stage and 16" sounds about right, dont bother with the heavy barrel, looks nice but you soon fall out with the thing once you have carried it a few miles, stupidly accurate though, printing around 3/4" at 100 yards (not with me behind it though!!)

At the end of the day no depravity is out of the ordinary for Norfolk, whilst there is no shortage of hairy ****d ,bearded old wrinklys with BO, at least some of the men are presentable.

My pleasure is similar. Mod1717HB

Once a year unscrew the thermostatic bit and you should see a pin sticking up from the valve, give it a bit of oil and pull it up andf down gently with a pair of needle nosed pliars. Hate those valves, complete waste of time IMHO.

Not my pennies, Goldfish, a nice charitable trust pays for the feed. Our owners do indeed use ex poison feeders but with a metal backstop welded around to prevent ricochets. The Squirrels pull out loads of feed before eating it but plenty falls on the floor, wonderful watching Nuthatches and the like mopping it up. Spoke to our estate manager re the new CO2 powered traps yesterday, the one set at the first feeder just over a week ago has been triggered once - I shot 4 there in around an hour.
