I picked up a UltraFire C8 with a CREE Q5 LED for £30 from a DeerHunter stand at a country show. Very impressed! Excellent beam with an even, wide spread and a nice hot spot in the middle. When buying a torch for lamping try and get one with a larger head. The larger the head, the better the throw (usually)

Take a look at some from Nitecore. Ive got the mt2a and mt1c. You'd probably want something with more throw like the mt26 or mt40 . Or maybe the MH40

Cheers for the replies. Still havnt taken it out! I always opt for a shotgun incase i see a fox! Haha! A chrono is still on the christmas/ birthday list but by the sounds of things not a great deal changes.

Hey all, I was thinking about going out with the S410 later today to have a smack at some squizzers and pigeons. On that thought I wondered what effects this cold weather would have on the gun. I've heard colder weather dulls the power of pcps but are they still safe to use in freezing tempratures?

''Grenade!''

I bought the Led Lenser P3 the other day and its truley amazing for its size, weight and price, just shy of £15 with p&p and it has now convinced me to get the P7 I cant stop flicking it on and off and playing with the focus. This little P3 is 14 lumens and will give an eye shine beyond 50 meters, cant wait for the P7 (which is 200 lumens!) And i will certianly be buying another P3, handy to have a few good (in this case, amazing) torches about.

''It wasn't me...''

Err i believe it was Thursday (16th) and it arrived today Hopefully get it out on the wheat stubble tomorrow afternoon

My friend and i ordered one last week and it has arrived at his today! Cant wait to try it out now!

Its a pain for shooting them but alot of us farmers are trying to get things done while we can, who knows what the weather will do next! We started drilling a field today that was combined yesterday! Hopefully i can get out on some wheat stubble that is going to be baled, That way we dont rip it up so fast!

Also have one on order, will hopefully be here in time before we rip up all the wheat stubble

Hey all, im also interested in these rotaries. Does anyone know if they can take dead pigeons or is it just the coys that you can buy with them? If its just the fake coys, are there any better ones out there that will fit? (hypa flappers etc.) Cheers

Cant find anywhere that says what someone under the age of 18 can do about selling or gifting a shotgun! Perhaps ill ask at my local gun shop

Oh, I always thought you had to be 18. So how would I go about 'selling' my shotgun, would I have to 'gift' it or what happens!?

Is it legal to 'gift' a shotgun under the age of 18? if so i need to find a buyer for my 20!

Cheers guys, its just a pain that ill have to get another cabinet if i do get another gun Need to wait until im 18 to sell my 20 Anoyone know if someone has to come out to look when you put another cabinet in if you already have one? Cheers

The sp is my dads, so im stuffed if he wants to use it, plus i want something i dont mind scratching

Sounds alright, have you got any pictures?

Cheers MIA, and hey Terry, im doing well now that ive finished school! Haha, yourself? Im very temtped to snatch one up as they do seem great guns, my dads silver pigeon has been great so far but i understand semi autos are in a different world

Hey all, im back on guntrader most nights again looking at semi autos Cant help myself! I have been reccomended a second hand beretta rather than a new escort which seems fair. What do you guys think of them? If i do get one i dont want to spend too much. Definatley no more that £400, preferably nearer £300. I dont want to splash out as its only for pigeons, rought shooting etc. and i dont want to spend loads on a classy over and under while im still growing! Ive been looking at the 302 models (and similar ones) and quite like the look of them. Will they cycle both light and heavier loads? i might want to do some clay bashing with it and you never know, we might get a few more foxes about, so i want something that will handle a variety of sizes and weights. However, Im not set on a beretta, a friend of mine has a remington 1100 and gets on very well with it. Any other makes and models will be considered, just want to get a feel for what you guys think of them Cheers, Matt

Well done! Another young shot from essex here!

Have only had my buck bantam (the 2 3/4" blade one) for a 2-3 years but its been great, still no wobble and it guts rabbits, breasts pigeons and has done a day of unpacking, cutting through card, paper, more card, bubble wrap, more card, shrink wrap, more card, woven plastic straps and it hit the concrete a few times but it did great. Only cost me about £13 if i remember correctly and it feels good in the hand aswell. Im tempted to get another one or two, one for farm work, one for shooting and one for fishing

Thanks alot GG, ill check them out and see what will suit me best! And you better, some of those lenses are HUGE! Cheers again, Matt

Another great one GG! Ive got a couple of questions for you; what telephoto lens would you reccomend for an eos 350D for taking general wildlife shots? Preferably around or under £100. How do you find the sigma lenses compare to the canon ones? Cheers and i wont mind a second hand one either if i can get a better one!

Okay guys, thanks Dont think ill bother with a reg but i will try to make the gun 'my own' with a few cheaper mods, if a pod and a torch counts Had a bunny with the s410 last night, its a bit of a fuss with hold under and hold over, will be alot easier with a .177 again Ultra, here i come
