    Scope for 17hmr...

    Here’s an option that is 30mm in case you’re interested also https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/vortex-crossfire-ii-4-16x50-sfp-ao-rifle-scope

    Scope for 17hmr...

    Not 30mm, but then in my experience a set of 1 inch mount won’t be a bad investment. 30mm has never really caught on. This scope will serve you very well on a HMR. https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/vortex-crossfire-ii-6-18x44-sfp-ao-bdc-rifle-scope
  3. Probably far cheaper and better to run/drive than any UTV. All UTV's iv seen are noisy, rough and bloody expensive. You can buy a decent second hand double cab pickup for less than the cost of a new UTV. Maybe it's a fashion thing, who knows?

    Free Shotgun

    Just go to any local gun dealer and they will have loads of shotguns under £100 they can’t get rid of.
  5. This thread sums up UK society. If someone breaks into your home and steals your possessions (which includes your guns) you are made to be more of a criminal than the thief.
  6. My understand of the law is that you must take reasonable precautions to secure the firearm. That is all. There are a lot of FEO making up additional requirements, which they have no legal right to do.
  7. They have a sister company called Vagor. They market it as the best quality, then knock it down in price as looks like its an absolute bargain. Of the stuff iv bought, some lines are excellent quality for the money, other lines very disappointing. It is all made in china and i get the feeling they make use of a lot end of the line runs from other manufactures. Its just luck of the draw really.
  8. I 100% agree with Wesley’s comments above, and if a person is wielding a firearm, or an object designed to replicate a firearm in public, then the police have to take the appropriate and necessary actions to neutralise the situation to protect themselves and others. However, I did watch the tv program and my first thoughts were the same as the OP’s. The officers recollection of events appeared very emotive and purposely exaggerated to be as anti gun as possible. I would be defending the officer if she was a firearms officer and said ‘I saw a man point a military style rifle at me and took evasive action which resulted in a fatal shooting’. But I cannot support her emotive story that makes this air rifle, albeit with an illegal spring, sound like a 50 cal. She says she saw a muzzle flash, followed by a shot. The reality is there would be no muzzle flash and the noise, at the distance referred to in the program would hardly be audible to the human ear.
  9. First attempt - Graphite penetrating fluid (better than WD40) Second - Try tapping the choke key with a hammer the wrong way, then the right way, you’d be surprised how often this works Third - Put into the freezer then pour boiling water onto the outside of the barrels whilst turning the choke key Forth - Choke key in vice (can repeat the step above if necessary) Fifth - Stand in diesel over night Sixth - Oxy acetylene (carefully)
  10. I bought a cheap 3-9x40 Gameking for £30 with the intention of changing it at a later date. Put it on my 22lr and its been on there 7 years, clear as a bell and not lost zero once. They were good scopes.
  11. https://vagor.eu/product-category/outdoor-clothing/mens-trousers/ Have a look here. I bought a pair of the waterproof ones and so far have been excellent.
  12. If they want to sell us cheap Bitcoin, them let em... I try to think of Bitcoin as tool. A hammer is a useful tool if I want to hammer things. Bitcoin is a useful tool if I want to transact without a third party approving my spending, or if I want complete sovereignty over my money. Then when you realise there is a finite amount of Bitcoin, and that is an incredibly useful tool for most people to own, even if only as an insurance policy against banks blocking their spending or defaulting, then the price will only ever increase over a reasonable timeframe. Infinite amount of people, limited supply of Bitcoin.
