  1. I know this is an old topic. When I was in West Sussex. My FEO told me as long it was land that had been approved for that caliber regardless of who it had been approved for. It meant if I had permission I was good to shoot. When moving to wales last year my FEO told me I had to have written permission for every piece of land I want to shoot. Logged and stored with the Police. The exact act same wording on both certificates. I have no issue calling to check it is already cleared if the land owner doesn’t know. But not all the people round here like the idea of signing something and having police visit just to let me get a few rabbits.
  2. 2 from 3 shots from waaaaaay too many hours. still better than daytime TV 4824
  3. As a general rule I would have either snapped the neck or clonked with a priest before videoing, it's just the type of thing the Anti's love to use. Wouldn't be impressed with someone using my house as a backstop either. Be it a rented from Estate or owned myself. I don't want to sound a kill joy, looks like you had some good fun. I am sure not all of us ALWAYS do everything by the book, but there were a couple of glaring 'make us look like amature' moments there.
  4. MY old Mans HW77k I learned to shoot with, it's underlever not break barrel and a little weighty but it's with a walnut stock and raised cheek piece. He has had it donkey's years and so far the only problem has been the catch for the under lever but that was easily replaced. It's accurate and reliable. As for the Eliminator i'd rather staple my foreskin to the mast of a sinking ship than rely on that hateful piece of detritus.
  5. Now, be honest, was the hat and coat just for the pic? because I spy German DP trousers on the bottom there. But that aside nice shooting. I love using BP but generally couldn't hit one of those black and white big rabbits behind you with one.
  6. If it tastes livery, you've over cooked it treat it like a steak.
  7. Sorry :-( long shift totally glanced over the sentence in the middle :( Lack of sleep from being in the field the night before.... I'll get my coat
  8. If it was FAC I think i'd stick with the magnums they just give a very looping shot, so you need to be bang on with you ranging..... but like all things pros and cons, they do hit hard.
  9. That was an overly heavy Bisley Magnum. They are very accurate but the parabolic curve is bad. With those you need to know your mildots well. Re zeroed today with Airarms Diablo Field. A much nicer tradjectory and a bit of an old favourite when I used to use my HW77k. But the Bisleys were all I had left with yesterday after all the garden plinking with the knock down targets. **** poor planning I know. The stealth preferred a heavier pellet. Or should I say disliked less and a heavier pellet. Waiting for my neighbour to come back to me now with my offer on his dive bottle. I may have gone a bit low with the offer but surely thats what bartering is about.
  10. Defintely not seen one that big before. What was it shot with?
