What a nice offer! I need one but ordered off the bay a couple of days ago.

A bigger bike is much easier to ride slowly IMO. Not got such a good turning circle as a 125 though. If my 5'2" wife can ride a 650, you can ride a 600 easy.
Good luck!

Best tip is to relax,600 is not too big/heavy or unmanageable:quite the reverse actually,in general a good combination of weight size and power.I would be very surprised if your smile count doesn't increase!

Looks good,hope the handling is better than the VF1000F2 I used to own.

Is it reasonable to assume the 42 grain bullet protrudes a tad further out the case?
Never compared the two as I had no 40gn left but I have a feeling it may well, however I think the feeding issue in the 581has more to do with the squarer/less tapered shape of the bullet.Possibly tweaking the magazine lips would help but as the gun has no problems with RWS subs(much more accurate)and CCi segs(just as accurate+harder hitting)I have not bothered.A few years ago I either bought Winnies or Eleys and had no probs but now have had issues with both.RWS subs,although I find consistent and accurate,also seem to lack the range and hitting power of the old Winnies so I use them for brain/head shots at short to medium ranges.

My thoughts are with you.More into dogs these days but lost my(our)last cat in August 1992 and still miss him.

No difference between 40g and 42g Winnies as far as i’m Concerned
Possibly BUT 42g Winnies will not reliably feed through my Brno 581 whereas 40g were fine,still using them up through my CZ 452.Possibly from a poor batch as they are none too accurate although they certainly hit hard when they do connect.

I would love to help with some suggestions BUT after 48yrs of marriage(2 of:1st complete carp,2nd excellent) I have learn't nothing about how women view their men.My best take is they either like you or they don't and whatever you do or don't do has little influence on their opinion.Fortunately I have had more success with dogs.

Presently I am awaiting visit for my FAC/SGC renewal,I am fortunate in that Northumbria seem thorough but sensible/professional but am saddened by the"postcode lottery" that others face.Home Office guidance not being followed by Durham led to a coroner criticising them re:Atherton,they then introduced a "pilot" need for a medical opinion http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/news/durham-firearms-licence-applicants-to-pay-for-medical-checks-20584
This to my mind was no more than a mechanism to deflect attention from their failings to adhere to Home Office guidance in the first place,then BASC seemed to pursue the myth that medical monitoring/involvement would lead to the holy grail of 10yr certificates: dream on! The resultant debacle we are now left with needs sorting out forthwith in everyones interest.

In my(for this engine)limited experience,piston is normally the first item to need replacing on this as well as many other competition based motors. Better advice may come from the KTM forum http://www.ktmforum.co.uk/forum.php

are maybe worth a read.
Personally I would start by using a mechanics stethoscope to check engine.

Although I really enjoy it I am not a "good/natural" shotgun user. I do find I manage well enough when rough/instinctive shooting by myself but "crumble" into a poor shot when watched by an audience or otherwise put under pressure.Fortunately I am better talented with a rifle.

I use my 12v Snap On timing light with 12v power supply from 7ah lamping battery on 6v 1970 Aermacchi 350 with no issues.Also use lamping battery when timing 1980 Guzzi V50(12v) & 1990 BMW K100RS 16v(12v):its easier than lifting seats etc and struggling to reach battery terminals.If you particularly need/want a 6v timing light
are readily available.

Ironically you need to be in a gun club here to own a air pistol, same requirements for a .44 magnum etc.
That is news to me! . Makes as much sense as a chocolate teapot : same(but different)faulted logic/laws as mainland uk I presume.As an aside why has handgun crime rate risen in the uk(mainland)since the ban?
-
Sadly owing to a lack of talent, I never got much into pistol shooting,I managed OK with a practically recoil less .22 match pistol((why were they included in the ban
)but could not shoot well with the larger bores.My friends still compete in pistol(air) competitions but its a shame they cannot pursue their sport further. -

Thanks for that --------------

"Any suggestions?"
I cut a couple of strips from black zip(cable)ties:perfect for my Baikal.

Thank you:enjoyed vid,maybe gives an insight of viewfor those interested in https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/361803-right-i-went-and-bought-one-for-curiosity/

This all sounds to good to be true
Agreed but at least its fairly cheap to try & something to play with.

Use truing in strelok to plot your trajectory.
Thanks : just read instructions & will do.
-
I use them as they are the most accurate in both my cz452 and brno581.Good,accurate killing power but am struggling to find accurate bc to work in Strelok / Chairgun to plot trajectory. Regards

"Can't find anything negative to say apart from the scope mounts were non std size."
+1: love my CZ .222 but intend to fit weaver rail when I come across a s/h one.
-
If it is of any help I believe the thread is UNC & size is 10-24 but please check dimensions as I am far from infallible.

some of the shorter harris bipods used an allen bolt with slot for screwdriver/coin operation.
For some reason the ebay link I posted redirects to"vigilink" but if you look on ebay for 10-24 allen bolt they are available and not dear.

"I heard nothing until about a week ago when my referee said he had received an email from the licensing team checking out the reference."
Peculiar how areas vary: I stood as referee recently for a long time friend's FAC renewal & Northumbria never contacted me by any means.Not that that surprises me as they seem to know where to focus their attentions and probably already knew of our friendship.
