  2. Lovley looking gun mate, good groupings
  3. What cant you buy? He is 15 Y.O. So. It doesnt mean he is going to buy one, someone could be getting it for him Its an open forum, ask away mate
  4. Ive got a 97k, have shots loads with it
  5. Why not have flat head pellets
  6. I have to take issue with this from a physics point of view. .177 or .22 (or .20 or .25) or in fact any calibre it makes no odds. People need to forget this "22 hits harder" ****, it simply isn't the case at the ranges we are talking about, beyond 35 yards (think 100) things get much more complicated when you start to consider sectional density as against cross sectional area - for these ranges forget it, it simply isn't something worth considering. Fired at a steel plate at 30yds there would be nothing between the projectiles in terms of terminal ballistics, what people are referring to is energy transfer to the quarry. .177 is widely touted as more "penetrating" than is .22. There isn't any more energy in the .22, this "extra energy" simply doesn't exist. Put a .177 pellet in the right place on a rabbit and it will drop just the same as it will with a .22. Head shots at 35 yds with a 12fpe rifle of either cal will not pass through the rabbits head, so they both give up all of their energy doing work on the rabbit in terms of wound creation. In the cranium its dead, simple as. So for hunting rabbits, as asked, there is nothing to chose between them apart from how you get on with the trajectory, how many shots you want, and how the chosen pellet is affected by wind. I once shot a rabbit at 53 yards, in the head, 11.2 ftlb, .177, pellet went right through, and got pics to prove it ( didnt give a kick ) Either caliber will do the job, ive found .22 kills pigeons quicker then .177, every pigeon ive shot bang in the head with a .177, it flapped around like mad, .22 they just give the odd flap and drop dead in my expieriance, it dont matter to much on caliber with rabbits, they go into shock really quick
  7. Daystate ft, i know a few tx's that love them
  8. Hi james, the ferrets are great, there comming along very well indeed, cheers

  15. Evening guys, put abit of bait out the other night, it diserpeared very quickly, then i put some more out last night, that went, so tonight i mixed some vanila flavouring into some bird seed, left it to soak for a few hours, then stuck it out about 6 o clock, went out at about 7 to see whats about, soon as i went out and switched the lamp on, there was a rat under the shed, two glowing eyes, then he scarpered, waited a few minutes, then went in, it got to about 9 o clock, then grabbed the lamp, shone it out the window, there he was filling hes face with the seed, then run of, so grabbed the s16, put the lamp on top, and went sat outside and loaded an exterminator 18.0 grain, didnt have to wait long and he was straight back out, upto the bait, i moved my cross hair inbetween hes eye and ear, POP !!!!!!! droped him stone dead on the spot, then straight away i see two eyes moving about under the shed, loaded another exterminator, cross hairs right on its head, TWACK !!!!!!!! down he went onto hes side, went down to retrive them, the second one was still under the shed, so pulled him out. Pellet used ..... .22 exterminators 18.0 grain both shot at 15 yards heres some pics ....... 2 entrance wounds .....
