good luck buddy
:good: -
i use a sheet of steel 40"x40" and paint it white with cheap emulsion, shoot it and paint again. i usually shoot it, mark on my 30" circle take a pic, paint it and go again then do all the counting and head scratching indoors at the computer.

i have a .223 a-bolt and a 700 bdl in 30-06, i know they are two very different calibres but accuracy wise the a-bolt wins over the 700. i have had to do nothing to the a-bolt and it is very accurate with factory ammo where as the 700 was not very accurate out of the box, it now has a hogue stock and timmny trigger, both of which made a big difference to the accuracy, (not so much the trigger but certainly the stock), but it is still not as accurate as the a-bolt. if i could have both calibres in either browning or remington they would both be browning.

i once got given a side by side that needed the barrels re done and for a laugh i had it powder coated bright metalic blue with glitter mixed in, (it was a friend of mine who was setting up a powder coating buisness who wanted to try out the colour) i wildfowled with it for a season and can honestly say that it made no difference, i think the important thing is not to move till you have to.

well done buddy, love the pic of the two labs

i got on really well with winchester laser, not as fast as you are looking for though.
-
One of my fav pumps are the Winchesters, on firing the bolt release releases as normal but because of the sring loaded rotary bolt head the action opens by itself aided I believe by the remaining pressure of the last shot. All you have to do is shut it. Very quick action!
U.
totaly agree with that, i shot olympic skeet with my 120 for a laugh sometimes and admititly it was not as fast as an over and under but there wasnt much in it. i bought a remington pump and could not get on with it at all because with the winchester i held back gently on the fore end and it seemed to cycle itself almost but with the remi any backward preasure on the fore end and it would stick, wish i still had my 120.

You can have the bolt back & a round in the spout or ready to drop in if you want
yeah, but kowing my luck the shell would fall out or i would drop it with the excitement of it all
:lol: -
for the grant of a shotgun cert its £50 and for renewal its £40 and its valid for 5 years. best of luck buddy, let us all know how you get on in the future
:good: -
the one thing i really liked and miss about the pump compaired to a semi was being able to have the slide half back when it was loaded, a bit like a broken but loaded side by side, its safe till a bird comes over then all you have to do is shut it. with a semi its not as easy, its either loaded or not. hope this makes sense

crackin stuff, well done.

earlier on today i filled out a variation form and applied for a 22 hornet and a 6.5x55. i had a slot for a 17hmr but after getting in to reloading and reading up on the hornet i decided to go for the hornet and lose the hmr. i had an hmr before and the biggest problem for me was that here in shetland we dont get many wind free days/nights to get the most out of the hmr.

cheers guys

i did a couple of hours carpentry work last night for my RFD and for my efforts he gave me this T Bland side by side box lock ejector, 2 1/2" chambers, 30" barrels, he also threw in a leg of mutton leather case that the gun can fit in. the gun has been well used, the barrels could do with being reblued and the woodwork could do with a bit of a shine other than that the gun is pretty good, with the fore end off there is no slack and the bores are mint. well chuffed

Thanks for all replies, all very useful, and from what I gather for foxes both are capable with equal pros and cons.
So to throw the cat in the pigeons: what if I want to use the rifle for the occasional muntjac? Same advice apply or is one better than another?
you really want to throw the cat among the pigeons, check out this link http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_11_50/ai_n6209996/?tag=content;col1 :yp: :yp: :yp:
