How many Grey Squirrels killed in 2024 (3136 in 2023)
arjimlad replied to Mice!'s topic in Other Pest Control
Had a fun morning drey poking in the snow today. Three guns and a pole master .. got 9. 710 -
Thanks @Ultrastuand @Mice! I'll stick with my .22 then - 16 gn AA DF do a more than adequate job at the sort of ranges I need.

I'm looking forward to getting back into the woods now the pheasant season has finished. There's a feeder to repair, and we're having a drey poking day soon. I wondered if anyone uses FAC-rated .25 cal on squirrels? Would limited pellet choice make it best to stick with .22? I presume .25 uses more air as well.

12 bore Gunmark Merlin by Vincenzo Bernardelli 27" barrels, 70mm (2 3/4") chambers. Choked quarter and half, fixed. Double triggers, boxlock ejector. Articulated front trigger and hidden third bite. 14 3/4" length of pull with original hard plastic buttplate fitted. 2 spare rubber buttpads to lengthen this to suit. 6lb 4oz - a fast, lightweight game gun. Some slight tarnishing of the chrome-lined bores but no pitting. Bluing is worn where the left hand holds the left barrel, otherwise a few small marks to be expected of a used 1974 model. Stock has had an oil refinish at some point, but I suspect it was originally varnished. Some minor use marks. £175 ono Located in South Glos near BS36 1RD

I think I have some spare screws which would fit the GAMO trigger, it is not the same as a BSA trigger. Ping me your address and I will put a couple in the post. I had to polish the end of the screw to make it smooth. Alternatively you can take off the barrel band and try the screw from that.

I have a GX40 Adding a slightly longer screw to the trigger adjustment transforms the trigger, there is a lot on AGF about this. It's been reliable and is extremely accurate. I would have another quite happily. I removed the barrel band because it was prone to knocks and would therefore affect zero. Free-floating the barrel has shown no adverse effects. The bolt pull has to be quite positive though, so maybe not great for a younger person.

I have a SX3 with 3.5" chamber which cycles 28g or 24g clay cartridges fine as long as they are 70mm. It can misfeed 65mm or 67mm clay cartridges It seems happy enough with 67mm 30g pigeon cartridges though. I am very pleased with the gun overall.
