I had a look over and couldn’t quite tell if it was a bite Mark on the Back of it’s neck but the feathers were pretty ruffled

Anyone got any tips for using the primos on carrions? When I use it sounds like a fox whistle 😂😂😂

Found a dead mallard duck right at the edge of the water on the stream running through the farm in a little drain, it had 3 or 4 bite marks on its breast and it’s belly partially ripped out is this likely to be a mink?

Thank you will try this

Thank you will give this a try

Ahhh I didn’t, do you mean just with like a rag or?

I let it slam using the release button, I’ve stripped and cleaned it after the last 2 times I’ve been out as it was a bit wet and rainy, could I possibly have over lubed?

I do normally use a side by side but after getting it was just itching to try it out and see how it was

Would just lightly tapping the charging handle do that? forget to say as well it happened the very first time I went to shoot it, other than that it’s been spot on, bet that woodcock thinks it’s good as well haha

Hi all just a quick question, a couple weeks ago I purchased a new hatsan escort extreme and have been very pleased with it, it so far has cycled everything I’ve put through it including my go to woodcock load eley impax, however The other day I had just got over a style so had took the cartridge out of the chamber and then when I was over I opened the bolt dropped it back in and hit the release, not a second later a woodcock flushes from a holly tree but when I went to shoot there was just a click! At the end of the day I tested it and fired it a few times and everything was going through fine, question is if what I’m assuming was the bolt not seating all the way, is this something that can be remedied by just lightly tapping it after I’ve hit the release

Not sure what I’ll make of it to be honest only one way to find out though! Cheers

Not sure if this is right section also forgive the silly question but if I was to try eating woodcock the traditional way am I right in saying I need to remove the gizzard? If so how do I go about doing this?

Are they the blue ar500 plates? Found them on eBay just trying to decide what size to get, don’t want too big but the 2 inch one looks a tad small

Thanks guys, I will check eBay

If I was to make my own gong am I right in saying the thicker the steel the better or would too thick be more likely to cause ricochets

Ahhhh was going to say mine will be set further between 70 and 100 yards, may get one of these!

What sort of steel would I use, and am I right in saying it should swing freely and be hanging off chains or something similar

Just wondering if the spinner type targets on eBay are safe to use with rimfire, some of them say rimfire use but I’m not so sure about richochets

It’s an anschutz 1415-1416, at the moment I only have a cheap stoeger scope on it that came with an air rifle and I have ended up having to rotate the scope so the turrets do the opposite of what they say

After a decent scope for my .22lr preferably mildot and wondering if one exists that has the adjustment turret on the left side instead of the right as my gun likes to eject the shells at the turret so they fall back into the chamber, thanks

A bigger cabinet would be a much easier solution but where I have it bolted to the wall is right between the wall and a plug socket and it only just slotted between the two so unless they do a narrow but very deep cabinet I doubt I’ll have to make do with jigsaw puzzling them in upside down haha

Ahhh thank you, was wondering as well as my cabinet is a bit tight for room and as well as a spare barrel not even sure if the original will fit in if I go for a 28 inch as it has a lockbox at the top for ammunition

Does anyone know if a spare barrel has to be stored in a cabinet? Thanks

I did toy with the idea of a pump as they seem a lot simpler and obviously you cycle them yourself but a friend told me there too slow to use but I suppose it depends on the person shooting

Ahh I see, will do
