the umarex 850 air magnum is a great starter rifle with good accuracy potential.there are however 2 potential problems with any co2 powered air rifle,in comparison to any other type of air rifle they are quite expensive to run[you might mitigate this with the relatively cheep purchase price for this spec of rifle]plus any co2 rifle suffers a power drop as the temperature drops creating a change in point of impact[poi] alternatively you could try a bsa ultra or one of the smaller brocock pcp,s,but you would have to extend your budget for charging gear :good:

hi mickey i use a cz 452 american with a scirocco mod ,using hornday blue tips i can achieve groups at 100 metres of 1/2 to 1 inch.much outside that and i would be looking to find the problem and sort it mate :good:

******** got mine on saturday night .peed off aint the word,so much hassle chasing around with the police and insurance,struggling with transport for work,would have been easier if they had just mugged me for the scrap value :hmm:

i use a pump on all my air rifles,including a gunpower stealth and a daystate air ranger fac,both of these are buddy bottle rifles.if you need to pump for fifteen minutes to charge them up,you would have run them so low on air that your shots would become inconsistent :good:

sounds like my mates cooey.its held together with gaffer tape and a jubilee clip,blueing replaced with rust,the wood looks like sun bleeched driftwood.he uses it as a beating stick[unloaded]when beating,then shoots like a dead eye **** with it.i think he paid a fiver for it :good:

i have walked the public footpaths on my permissions regulary with loaded rifles and shotguns.most of these paths are fairly busy,the trick is to carry the rifle on a sling over your shoulder or shotgun broken,and greet everyone you meet with a freindly greeting and wave.this normaly keeps everyone happy .if you are unfortunate enough to get abuse move away from the path and if they follow remind them that you have the permission to be there,not them,tresspass is ilegal

just camo tape the moderator that way you only wreck the mod and not the blueing.years ago i did the barrel of a rifle ,and the adhesive reacted with the blueing,lifting it off like loose paint .never again :unsure:

my mouflons have had eighteen months of abuse[wading through floods filled with mud scraped on thorns/barbed wire,used to scramble around the occasional tree when i cant be bothered to put the chainsaw boots on,used for hiking all day up hill,dale and moor]with minimal cleaning,and other than a few surface scratches on the leather they clean up like new and have never leaked.i would seriously recomend mouflons on my experience of them

my mates lad was plinking with my enigma,my back was turned only for a minute when he said "its jammed",sure enough it was .bolt wouldnt move,magazine couldnt be removed.the obvious solution was to remove the barrel,so scope off job.upon removal of the barrel the magazine and bolt became free.in the end of the barrel was a mashed up pellet,so out with the cleaning rod,mmm thats a bit stiff i thought,so i gave the end of the rod a good smack with the palm of my hand and out popped 8 mashed up pellets.the little twerp hadnt worked the bolt properly,so when it didnt fire he just reworked the bolt.think im lucky compared to some of you lads though,half an hours work,including re zeroing and the enigma was back on form

its been a while since i removed mine but im sure you have to remove the pistol grip to get to the screws, i never had to press mine out.try www.gunpower.org.uk or talonairgun.com

two things to check first marcus.check that youve actualy tightened the bottle properly ,then check the grub screws that hold the bush in.if that fails phone geof at gunpower,hes normaly very helpfull

had one at work a few years back,a young lad took it out on site and promptly sunk it up to its axles.he phoned the yard crying that he couldnt get it out ,only to be told to engage 4 wheel drive,upon which it rose out of the mud as if it was on tarmac.totaly awesome put it in someawkward spots myself,but a bit ott as a shooting truck,id stick with a ranger or a defender myself

try a gunpower stealth,mines very light even with a big scope and all the accesories,or one of the new brococks they realy are featherweight

i have everything on your list and more,including tweed.the conclusion i have come to is that if it is drab in colour it will work,so i just wear what is comfortable for the conditions on the day.i think that the head to toe camo in a given brand can sometimes give confidence while you are learning,and that isnt necesarily a bad thing

whats wrong with a hobo stove for the ultimate back to basics experience.pence to make,lightweight,recycled materials,as big as you want to make it.top investment in my opinion

most of the vegetarians that i know are quite reasonable people,and have more in common with us because they have made a concious decision about where their food is coming from.we have more to worry about from the people who dont care where their food comes from as long as they dont have to see it or get their hands dirty.as with all media they only focus on people from extreme points of view,it makes better viewing.as for me im off to the farm this evening with my 11 year old daughter to pick out the christmas turkey[it will still be running around],do the necesary and bring home an oven ready turkey.me and my daughter have genuine pride in knowing how our xmas dinner was reared,killed and brought to the table,it tastes so much better

opinel carbon steel knives are excelent.i blue mine with a blow torch and wd40 and that seems to reduce the corrosion and staining problems.personally for paunching rabbits i swear by one of those folding stanley knives you can pick them up for a couple of quid and you only nead about 1 inch of blade,friend of mine uses a one sided razor ,he can do two to my one :look:

there are some people out there that i wouldnt let shoot over my dog at birds with a water pistol let alone a shotgun at ground game.there are others that i would trust if i were in the dogs place.just know who you are shooting with

only clean the bore when the groups start to open up,with my cz thats about every 3-500 rounds.theyre definately not a fussy calibre as regards cleaning as some people make out

our syndicate is out tomorow as well,some of our drives are ankle deap in water at the best of times so tomorow should be fun :blink: :blink:

i also used to use remingtons and switched to hornday blue tips,and the only percievable difference that i have found is that they produce slightly tighter groups as well as being cheaper

i just camo tape all of mine,with no mar tape ,it slightly reduces the ringing sound when the silencer catches a twig or branch

eye relief is the ditance betwean the objective bell[the lens you look through]and your eyeball,that is required to get the scope and reticle focussed,normaly about 1 1/2 inch :unsure:
