Cupraman - Try Countryways in west malling,big warehouse with all the brands and prices are good too,I use Lyvale express 32g in 5s or 6s for rabbit about £32 for 250 i think.

Turpentine finest quality mineral or gun turpentine and a brass wire suede brush should do the trick,plenty of it,scrub all the muck off/out of the chequering,wipe the dirt off with paper towel as it comes out. Leave it to dry out for a day or so and you should have a lighter colour,if not repeat above. Hope that helps.

If its a 452 Varmint,mine has a single screw/lug in the forend,just make sure you can slide a business card down to it freely.

CZ 452 does have adustment for pull (its in the CZ handbook that comes with the gun),but its not worth jack. Fit a brookes kit that transforms it.

Even subs will be doing 850 - 900 fps/80 ft lbs at 90 yards,the fact is that although it is called expanding,it rarely does when hitting small game - the velocity is just not enough - even at 1000 fps/100 ft lbs Hyper velocity .22 - circa 1650 fps will,as will others calibres e.g. HMR at 2500 fps How many have found a .22lr bullet head in a rabbit?. I find that whether its Eley subs,Winchester subs or RWS Geco round nose,hit them right and they go over.

Dirty and rubbish - CCI claybusters,cleaner,cheaper and better IMO

I have aquired an old Wlnchester model 23.which has a small crack in the hand of the stock,and a loose action - any experts out there? All help much appreciated. Mark

60 Yards is max range for a BSA Superten at FAC levels IMHO,not really for sub 12ft lbs - more like 35 max. If its the full length barrel version mine likes AA Field in 5.52 And if its any help i have a Superten silencer for £15 posted. Enjoy the gun.

Same here sent in maps and permissions for two more farms two weeks ago - nothing yet,called Maidstone yesterday and "its in the administrators tray" Not really a lot of use when Mr Farmer says "when are you coming over" So its BSA Superten and shotties for the moment.

They are excellent glass for the money,i have the 4-12X44 on my CZ and have already bought the 10X44 for my HMR(when i get the variation),SBC reticule is really usefull with aimpoints at 1/4 mildot spacing. So a Zero of 65 yards gives you aimpoints for every ten yards further out.

Various places - Walmestone farm,Mr moss's in Nash,Castle farm and a few others. Drop me PM when you are ready and i'd be happy to take you out.

Dan i'm in Margate near Dane Park,seem to have aquired quite a bit of shooting lately,theres plenty out there and get one and it leads to more,my mate rang over the weekend to say he's buying a farmhouse and 60 acres at Preston near canterbury So the offer stands - any responsible insured shooters drop me a PM Mark

Well if you need some local shooting mate drop me a PM.

Funny place Kent Cupraman,my latest shoot was unshot for two years,before that an old boy used to turn up once a week with a.22,shoot 2 or 3 bunnies and go!. Whereabouts in Kent are you and naddan28,perhaps we should have a Kent boys get together/shoot?

Anyone know where Lapua is available in the south east???

Naddan - Local position is ".22LR maximum range of 50 yards for foxes" that was 4 weeks ago from our area FEO.

Thanks Para - nice torch - just the thing for in the pocket "wheres that bunny" use.

Thanks mate arrived yesterday - just the job and thanks for the data.

Thanks Madcowz you're a star.

As above chaps - have bought a O/U Laurona which only has the two chokes with it - anyone got some lying around or know where i can get them? Many thanks in advance.

Someone? Anyone?

The reference is for despatching mink IN THE TRAP not hunting them with a sub 12ft lb air rifle. I used to live near Oxford and one shoot had some mink,we managed to get three of them,i would'nt use anything less than a 12 bore or .22 rim,they are very tough animals and a shot from a 12 ft lb gun is likely only to wound.

MEC 600 or similar - pref complete with all bushes/data etc

Burnside you have PM

Now 5/8 oz loads in a 12 bore - that makes me smile,well the 9mm is a lot quieter. Today i was at the farm (dairy mainly)in one of the barns with the 9mm talking to the farmer who mentioned that a lot of foxes hang around during calving,ten minutes later having popped a couple of rats,guess who trots round the door - Mr fox. Always happens when you've got the wrong gun in your hands. Same story - go out with FAC superten for bunnies - see fox - take rimfire or 12 bore - no fox! Thanks for your wisdom and the 9mm does everthing i want it to at 10 yards.
