Just in case someone missed your question

Any is the point the rest is about range / impact speed

Phone local or look online just google scrap lead prices

All similar twist shoot the same bullets therfore no difference in wind ( it's hard to outrun wind) trajectory wise the 22 - 250 will start to show itself after 250 ish but before that it's all pretty meaningless The triple has a longer barrel life and as it uses less powder is easier to moderate If your not into handloads and downloading the triple is a busting great choice and can still be downloaded anyhow - it just can't be given 22- 250 legs Question should be posed how much shooting do you do past 300?

Hornet is fine for fox if you can make the shot - energy is not the issue it's got plenty enough out to 200 yards for head or chest shots It's fine for bunnies shot them as close as a few feet to over 200 yards ( I don't chest shoot bunnies by intention) Hit just a few in the chest and lower neck and they were OK to eat but anyplace further back and they are fox bait It's a great rifle for hares It's at its best reloaded - far and away Avoid 35 v max ballistics are pants I use 40 and 45 grain bullets little gun powder rws brass Rws 46 grain factory are very accurate if a tad slow but are good for the brass is as good as it gets for future reloads

Steel stock has gone up £ 126 per ton in the last few weeks Looks like Chinese policy of dumping cheap steel on us has given them the market for a while to gather thier losses plus a load more. Scrap is rising just slower any who have some might wish to hang on as long as they can before selling - I doubt it will drop back for a good while now it's going up slowly

What's the point in talking moa dial in and then switching to inches?

I have a mate in lapland who shoots moose / elk with his! It's about the most popular round for them. We underate most of our firearms capabilities!

Springer - not the best choice for lamping mind but everything else is what they were made for

A common way of funding the most important but most poorly run ( financially)free service It's so free you don't even have to pay or ever paid UK taxes Unfortunately I feel your pain having a daughter who goes in very regular

If you want the best accuracy and life you have to clean and service your rimfire 500 rimfire rounds will degrade accuracy but it depends how well you steer it if you can tell Bolts should be disassembled and cleaned also from time to time Moderators should ideally be removed in storage but most don't and the threads should certainly be loosened cleaned and treated to a bit of anti seize grease

If anyone takes your watch it's theft and the ticket is all you need. No watch back from liquidator call on the police with your recept

Not lost at all. I am by original trade a welder fabricator although I worked for a firm that still had a blacksmith shop and spent time learning from an 84 year old guy who learnt from his dad before him Even my mentor admitted there was no need for some of the skills other than historic re- creation and renovation - but others are still widely used and practiced The art world has taken hold of blacksmithing and taken it to a whole new place - but making chain forge welding the links nah its crazy! I find a lot of clients for the one off forged items but not the everyday items the old Smith used to make. Skills are being lost far faster in drawing offices and regular fabrication work imo. Real wrought iron rather than forged mild steel? Well wrought don't realy exist unless a guy is working with reclaimed old materials Smiting has always evolved electric power hammers do the same job as a striker yet keep regular time all day long

Harris no question for normal field shooting and there is a massive range of std and non std accessories to suit There are better for specialist needs but you just can't beat them - even when they are copied the firm's just cut corners as they need to undercut at lower volume

Series one. There cannot realy be a discussion on this one surely? Lightweights I have had. In many respects worse than the others as thier purpose gave them a right old battering. Done front chassis leg damage were they had been nose drived and with parts made for quick removal they were draftier and wetter inside than the others When the series one was sold new it cost more than the average house and an incredible amount still survive today - the shorter wheel base made for off road capabilities that are still class leading On road? Rubbish

Totally nothing imo! Both will kill and target shooters want the most accurate or least expensive depending on what they are doing It was a knee jerk reaction that needed to be undone quickly hence section 5 came in after the new updated legislation was passed In all fairness post Hungerford legislation changed little or nothing That is why Date said " no knee jerk reaction" Shot with a 55 grn v max or a 155 grn lapua senar - the likely result is a coffin either way! Protected nobody from anything. Crooks often put hacksaw cuts in thier solid lead bullets etc not that it greatly matters either way humans just cannot take lead like wild deer and such The focus as ever should be illegal firearm possession by criminal gangs and effective vetting of legal gun owners Anything else is a distraction

Do you realise when the riots I am talking of are as a time period? Link? It would be like finding the missing link! I will search out in print as I have it referenced some place here You realise why the massive recruitment drive would be required? It mainly because most coppers will refuse and many will be deemed unsuitable Greatest respect for the police but some coulnt be let loose with a spud gun and I have known quite a few ex- forces and sport shooters who refuse to carry or use But as has been touched on they do shoot a few of thier own and totally innocent persons Your in lancs? You not remember the blind old guy with hearing difficulties the lancs officer shot in the back with a tazor. Thinking his white stick was a samori sword! Well he failed to comply ( because of his deafness and looking the other way) I have been told ( by a gap copper) tazor training is harder to pass than firearms - that's one scarey thought The guy with the coffee table leg in a carrier bag. Waldorf shooting and pistol whipping for driving the car of the ex girlfriend of a Crook If covers here carry most will be shot by thier own guns not those of criminals hence the move to signature firearms Unfortunately I can see the road ahead with all the uncontrolled immigration and increased terror threats but it's perhaps better we don't consider arming our current mob or even regular arming of coppers at all My grandfather on my mother's side was a copper ( armed) and also served on the diplomatic protection group and guarded the Queen a number of times on special secondment btw Today's protection duty officers are really good but sorry a totally different cut of person to pc plod and job swaps would be a disaster at both ends. It's not just training There is a little bit more knowledge I can't disclose here but trust me coppers don't generally want to be armed and it's a bad idea - presently and yes I know some on a very personal level that will walk in a heartbeat if it came in

Good hardwood is what I have anti bump locks and dog bolts to hinged side Rock door might have improved enough now I was involved with the first installs and they were pants then The principle was good however and they sell a lot now so they must have it right or a lot better Not something I ever saw Seen lots kicked in and other means of entry but not about to give a burglary masterclass on an open forum

I can only report what I know Stop posting then lol

Thanks for suddenly becoming a moderator the rf amounts and cf amounts are both relivent being equal in terms of Licencing in risk yet not in quantity

Not realy into keeping wild things like that but it sounds sort of cool I rescued and returned to the wild a kestrel a few years back ( wrote about it one here) tried hard not to familiarise it but it did come down to me for food a while after successful release I like hares even though I shoot them when needed. Fascinating creatures

Home office did extensive research on this post the riots of the 80s. Stats said they couldn't recruit enough cops to replace those that would be accidentally killed by thier own Bad idea thier record isn't good to say the least. Won't touch on why because it gets onto police hate and I don't having good friends in serving mow and I'm the past ( some of them armed) Clay pigeon? By gosh! Glad we don't have a civil defence force - the two are in no real way linked to competence

For deer stalking or lamping I agree with point and shoot if it needs correction your shooting too far for 1 sporting reasons on the deer 2 for safety and humane reasons lamping 200 yards is a real long shot at night, if you can't see wind you can't shoot it

I altered one by turning down the od so it was a snug fit in the action Just buy a std one and skim it down. You can even hold it in a drill spin it and get a file on it lacking a lathe, it's good enough with care Most are too big to go through the action you see but front end is std for the 223

Interesting, I always believed they were one of those things that didn't take to being domesticated in any way
