  1. Another option is the fiat fullback! L200 with a Fiat badge, barbarian spec as well! Only problem is they have only been around for a few years so might be a bit more money!! I bought a 3 year old one for £11.5k with only 42k on the clock. Well pleased, nice to drive and mid to high 30mpg.
  2. I would hope that he will move on to a 20b after a few months once he gets used to handling a shotgun! He tried my mates sons 20b it was just slightly too heavy for him, they are the same age but very different builds. Happy with 410 or 28b, I’m not too worried about him missing, I want him to get used to safety and gun handling first! already started on safety as he comes out with me when I take the rifle out, and we talk about when a shot is safe or when there is no safe shot! safety, safety, safety!!
  3. Thanks for the good offer, I’m afraid it is to far to collect in the restrictions we have at the moment!
  4. I hear good things about Wabbitbosher guns, I’m going to see what is available locally first but this is definitely an option 👍
  5. Hi, My son, 10 had his first go with a shotgun yesterday, he tried a friends 20b, it was just a bit too heavy as he is a slight build! I’m looking to get a cheap but reliable .410 for him to use until he is big enough to use a 20b. Single barrel or over under will be fine, I hope that I can use it to teach him the basics, most importantly safety before stepping up to 20b in a year or so, if he is still enjoying it! We live on the coast between Suffolk and Norfolk so would like to keep it local if possible so that lockdown rules can be adhered to!! can anybody help? cheers, Steve
  6. Hi, I have a Honda CR-V mk 2 that I am looking to sell, I have just bought a pickup truck! Only problem is that I am offshore until early October. I did not sell it before as I had to get a new v5 which has now arrived. MOT is until December I think. It’s been a great truck, very reliable, never had a problem. 90k miles or so will have to check, 52 plate (2002). I’m in phone range, if u want a chat about it, pm your number to me. cheers, steve
  7. I'm going to be using these in Norfolk, could any local wildfowlers please answer this please! Should I buy Canada goose or Pinkfoot/greylag decoys for the Norfolk/Suffolk marshes? Do the geese come in to decoys of a different species?
  8. I'm going to buy some sillsocks after the above advice to add a bit of movement to the decoy pattern. My shooting mates have Pinkfoot and Greylag FUDs, would Canda sillsocks look weird in this pattern? Should I just buy some Pinkfoot sillsocks? Do Geese distiguish species when they come to land with other birds? Many questions as I want to buy the correct product!!!
  9. Cheers for the information steve, how many of the sillsocks do you use in your pattern?
  10. Hi, I'm looking to get a few decoys together before the Geese arrive in any numbers, I've got mates who have a few Pinkfoot FUDs (about 30) but I was thinking about getting some decoys to add movement to the pattern when we shoot together. Has anybody used the below Windsock (Rag) decoys with any success? Also will they attract Pinkfoots even if they look like Canada Geese? My other option is to get a dozen Silsocks, a guy in my club said that they were good and even got Ducks flying in to have a look. http://www.whistlingwings.co.uk/acatalog/Rag--Windsock-Canada-Goose-Decoys-WindCan.html Thanks in advance for any tips or information, Steve
  11. Hi, Thanks for the offer, I'm not after floating geese as they are a bit big to carry over the marsh and also if I shoot on my own I don't have a dog so will mostly be shooting in areas without deep water! After reading a lot of information and talking to local guys I'm after FUDs and sillsocks of ducks and geese! I will also get a few floating duck for when I'm shooting splashes or rivers (with mates who have dogs)
  12. Hi, I'm just starting out in the world of wildfowling and would like to get a few decoys (duck and Geese) together to give me more options when I go out on the marsh. I was wondering if any members had a few that I could purchase to start my collecton also any tips on where to get some would be appriciated. I will be shooting on the Norfolk marshes. Cheers, Steve
  13. Thanks for all the replies, they are all very helpful. I think that I shoot a lot better with a faster cart on the pigeons, I recently swapped to kent velocity and seem to do a bit better. So I think that I will look in to the gamebore range (as they are faster) and see how I do and maybe splash out on a box of american carts as a treat. I would love to be able to justify Hevi shot carts but I don't think I would be able to pull the trigger knowing that they cost £3+ per shot. Anser 2 - where do you get your carts? I'm struggling to find a supplier, the only shop I have found with Gamebore carts only stock them later in the season. Cheers, Steve
  14. Hi, This is my first year of wildfowling and I'm just about to buy the cartridges for the season, I am going to be using my Browning Phonix semi auto so can use any non toxic cartridges up to 3 1\2". I have been looking at the Lyalvale Express High Performance Steel 3" 36grm shot size 3 for ducks (would size 4 be better?). The best price I have found is £7.06 per box or £68.98 per slab, is this a good price? Also are these cartridges any good? I was then thinking about a couple of boxes of larger shot size for the geese, the above cartridges only go up to size 1 would they be ok for geese or should I go up to BB? The same shop only sell Fiocchi and Remington carts in steel BB. The Fiocchi are 2 3\4" 35grm of BB for £6.40 per box, would this load be any good for geese? or would it be too light? are theFiocchi steel shells any good? The Remingtons BB carts seem to be very exspensive, Sportsman Hi Speed Steel 3" 1 1\4OZ are £13.53 per box (over twice the price) and then the Nitro Steel 3 1\2" 1 9\16OZ carts are £25.88 per box (ouch). I'm just trying to get some opinions so that I will buy the right carts the first time. Thanks in advance for any help, all the best, Steve
  15. Hi, Have you got any shakespear big 'S'? Cheers, Steve
  16. They put a bit of white plastic in the trap that attracts the first cuttle fish then they leave one female in when they put the trap back down.
  17. Hi debo, I live in Hopton and the last time I got some carts I went to Anglian work wear in eye! They have very good prices, I got some dan arms 28g of 7.5 plasti wads they were about £32 per 250! They also do skeet carts but I don't like them as much as the dan arms. Do you shoot down billy bells? I need to get more carts soon so might b able to share petrol costs!! Steve
  18. Sold to me! Was a pleasure meeting you and doing a good deal!! Cheers, Steve
  19. Will take offers on this rifle, I've decided to get myself a gun suitable for wildfowling for next season, I will get this soon so I can get used to it.
  20. Yes, it does come with the scope, half a tin of air arms field pellets and also a fur lined rifle slip!
  21. Hi Anthony, I priced this to sell as it is worth more so I will wait and see if i get any better offers! I will have a look at how much it will cost to post and place that on the ad as well. All the best, Steve
  22. Hi, I have a recurve bow with all the bits and bobs that are needed to shoot with it! Reason for sale is that I haven't used it for almost 10 years! It is good bow that has a pull weight of 30lb and comes with sights, 7 arrows, finger, wrist, and chest guard, leather quiver, bow stand, storage box and counter balance weight! All the extras cost me well over £100 so I think that £100 ONO is a good asking price. Face to face will be better as it is big to post, but willing to post if cost is covered by buyer! It can be picked up near Great Yarmouth. Cheers, Steve
