Go for it! It is statistically safer than base jumping

I reckon that is a bit optimistic. Maybe £300-350.

Hi Paul, pm sent

That's a nice addition to the freezer. Well done you! Z.

To be frank, both these guns are very hard to fault. The HW is fairly heavy for a pcp, whilst the S410 is very light, so if you like a heavier rifle, the Weihrauch is the natural choice. If lightweights are you thing, the AA rifle will leave you with no regrets. The Weihrauch is dearer, but arguably has the best build quality. Also, it has the best pcp auto-load system bar none. Regards Z.

Being over-tired is akin to being under the influence. Only you can really judge just how over-tired you are. For me the bottom line is, would I go out shooting whilst being inebriated? 'No' is the obvious answer. IMO, if you are too tired to drive, you are too tired to be shooting. Regards Z.

Judging by the plates she is dutch. Possibly stoned off her box?? Regards, Z.

Well that put a crimp in his day, not to mention his head

I must admit, they are very expensive compared to 12g catridges. I suppose they are made in lower numbers? Regards, Z.

I found it a fun little gun to shoot, but off-loaded mine as it just wasn't getting used. Regards, Z.

Did you know that .17 H.M.R. ballistic tips dont shatter!

A 300 yard coke can challenge could be an annual event. Extend the competition to .22RF as well and make it interesting though -
Who's been shooting on my permission?
Zaiyn replied to stevies400's topic in General Shooting Matters
a little bit, tbh Lets hope your unwanted trespasser steers clear from now on Stevies400. Regards, Z. -
I took a newby out with my rimfire to lamp for rabbits a few months back. He is a 30 year old guy but confessed that he felt safer in the dark knowing that one of us was armed After watching 'Dog Soldiers' before going out lamping for rabbits alone with my air rifle, I admit I was a bit more 'on alert' than usual. other than that, I can't say it ever occurs to me that there is anything to fear in the dark. Regards Z.

I found H & N FT Trophys spot on in mine, AA fields 4.52 worked very well too. Regards Z.

No need nimms. Just look for the disparate bunch of loons huddled together in a corner, exchanging medical notes and going through lists of excuses

I ask because I've heard that the Varmint models barrel is the only one which is free floating and that contact between barrel and stock can occur and cause similar problems. Regards Z.

To add my vote: let him stay out and be a teen. Don't pester him on the phone (well, maybe a text only if you must). I can understand your 'cotton wool' approach though. Be brave and let him have a good time. Regards, Z.

Is your CZ a varmint model?

Odd, but life goes on.

What's the longest kill you have done with a shotie?
Zaiyn replied to Cosd's topic in General Shooting Matters
In fairness, we are not all George Digweed. That said, 55 yards crossing right to left. Eley 32g of 6 1/2, 3/4 choke and a dead-in-the air kill. I was elated, to say the least -
Actually, I completely agree with the above. When you head shot a squirrel with close to 12fpe and a domed .177 pellet, the sound is massively louder than a simlar headshot on a coney. Regarding the OP question, if you can image and shoot directly to the centre of the cranium at the suggested range, an instant kill is pretty certain. It is akin to Wing-chun's centreline punching idea, so a quartering shot to the cranium should (and in my experience, does) switch off the rabbit as instantly as a classic 'twixt ear and eye' shot. I have yet to have a pellet bounce off, no matter what angle I shoot the brainbox at. Having spouted all that I have, only in recent years have I taken the above approach and still prefer the side on shot whenever possible. Best regards, Z. Ps. Back-of-head shots are a safe bet!
