  1. Unbelievable they shot 11000 animals on that safari until they realised that conservation was the way forward.
  2. No, and i wont be filling it in either if i get one as they should already know.
  3. Thinking of buying a pair of the said binos, has anybody got a pair ? what are they like ? or can you recommend any others for same money or cheaper, only needed for general use, spotting pigeon activity etc.
  4. Yes it's a cz455 with laminate thumb hole stock, shoots spot on, deadly accurate at 100 yards ( with no wind ) the 452 is also worth a look second hand and get a boyds stock if you want thumbhole. Payed about £700 for this set up but you can get a 452 a lot cheaper second hand.
  5. best month last year was june for me shooting over peas
  6. Missing a fox at 10 yards takes some doing, sure the barrels not bent
  7. sorry cant count, thought i only picked 7 but clearly i found 8, need to get my abacus out
  8. Went out with the HMR for the last couple of hours while the sun was out, shot 10 but coudnt find 3 of them as they were only small and got blown back into the brambles.
  9. Your picking a bad time to join as they only shoot over rape and it will be well up by now, may get a few good days on the stubble after harvest but depends how quick they plough it in.
  10. yes i guess your right, they mostly seem to look like this around 80 yards or less, 100 yards and above they usually look like an airgun strike although i will say everyone is differant, i think its a lot of things coming into play at one time like the angle of the shot, the range and placement of the shot, heres a similar one with nowhere near the damage
  11. Its a potent little round is the HMR, heres one shot today at about 80 yards, a bit graphic but i dont think it suffered
  12. CCI ,Remington and Hornadys are made in the same factory by CCI, Winchesters arn't.
  13. Used about 300 Hornadys so far without a hitch
  14. Denise Guymer at Harlington was paying 20p for pigeons the last time i went

    Swiss tony

    I speak to him on a regular basis, he's having a break from shooting and pigeon watch, sure he'll be back in his own time.
  16. Whats the scam ?? he only wants your email address ?? how can you be scammed by having your email address ??

    Las Vegas

    last time i was in Vegas it was a dollar a shot at the gun store not very good when your shooting a fully auto AK47 was a good laugh though.
  18. As said buy one already done as you will devalue a sub 12ft ib rifle by a couple of hundred quid, depending how much you want to spend you wont go wrong with a mk1 rapid 7, adjustable power, plenty of shots per charge if kept to sensible power (30 - 35ft ib) and very accurate, can usually pick them up for about 350 for a full set up. If you want a fancy rifle id go Daystate.
  19. I had fast fingers though
  20. Had a call from Tex off the forum to go over and help clear some rabbits and hares from the estate he shoots as they where attracting the wrong kind of attention shall we say, conditions were spot on for the HMR with very little wind, started on a small sheep farmers before dark and shot 9 off one field in less than an hour, definitly a bit of a problem there and did some good fairly long range shots, then met the estate manager who was waiting to drive us round the estate on the back of a 4 wheel drive pick up, spoilt or what, really gives you a 360 degree view of everything this way, nearly ended up over the side a few times when it got rough though , saw a couple of charlies about but they were wise and vanished, had a great 2 1/2 hours lost count how many we shot, must have been 7 - 8 hares and 20 - 25 rabbits, not bad to say i was back home for midnight, picture is just a few of them as left some at the estate. Thanks for a great night Tex
  21. If you wern't convicted or cautioned for the offenses you should be fine, the FEO should have done background checks before coming to see you, did non of the above come up in the interview with him ? they usually tell you if youve got it at the interview.
