Used Combro Mk4 with a few battle scars but in perfect working order. There is a superficial crack on the front plastic and a glued rail repair on the adjuster side. Not pretty but still works perfectly and half the price of new! Still has the plastic protector over the screen. £25 delivered

Used in good working order. Needs a new battery. £80 delivered

No iPods from me.

Elderberry and grape table wine on the go, as well as the plain elderberry wine. I also had some blackberry wine last year that stopped fermenting way too early (my fault) so i have just put some new yeast in and it has kick started again. Hopefully will be ok but worth a shot anyways Also just started our sloe gin, elderberry gin and elderberry vodka. The sloes we picked a bit early this year but hopefully should be ok.

As promised

Now on eBay, listing is due to start at 8pm tonight

Well we got quite a variety in the end, but not many blackberries about yet. Also need to go out and get some more elderberries this week but we ran out of time. Our grape and elderberry table wine is on the go now

Off berry picking with the other half tomorrow. Our plan for this year is blackberry wine, elderberry wine, an elderberry and grape table wine and also some sloe gin and cranberry spice vodka. Whilst out shooting today I also found two huge plum trees, one with yellow fruit and one with dark fruit. Is the yellow plum tree just not ripe yet or is it a different type (I know nothing about plums) I will post up some pictures tomorrow of what we get

£80 posted?

A few pictures

I'm open to offers Offers by PM please.

In very good condition with only a small mark on the battery cover for the illuminated reticle where someone has changed the battery. £100 posted

Thanks everyone Its a ten shot, and yes I have ordered a smaller scope as the one on it at the moment is a bit over the top in my opinion for a sub 12ft/lb air rifle. Anyone want a hawke nite-eye 6.5-20x50? (in the other sales section)

Bought last week on a bit of a whim, but what a fantastic piece of kit. Finished my night shift this morning and couldn't wait to get out with it. Stupidly I managed to let a second rabbit go after forgetting to reload and scaring it off with a disappointing phut.

It seems a waste to be throwing away the furs when shooting rabbits, so thought I would have a shot at tanning and see what I could end up with. I bought one of the white tan kits from Snowdonia and had my first shot with 3 skins this week. Skinning the rabbits in a way to keep the fur is an art in itself I now have half of the snowdonia kit solution made up in my outbuilding in an old brewing bucket, but would like some hints before I do my next ones. These have come out ok for my first go I think, but after 2 days in the solution i think I started drying them out too quick as some bits were very crispy before i started stretching them out. You can also see i managed to tear one in the process too How do you guys to it? These are still a bit stiff to do much with but overall I am quite happy.

Thanks, it is a .22 and will mainly be used for rabbits on a few of our permissions where the rimfires aren't allowed. I will have a look at the Mamba scope

Treated myself to a new air rifle today. Fancied a multishot PCP but didn't really know what I wanted, so have been to a few shops over the last couple of days and was suprised that I could get a Daystate in my budget, so I had to have it. Its a Mk3 RT with the thumbhole stock, and is around 10 years old (not sure if this makes it an early one or not). I had a few shots with it before coming home and seems to be very accurate at 30 yards and much easier to shoot than my HW95. It came with the Milbro moderator and Hawke Nite-Eye 6.5-20x50 scope but the scope seems huge for an air rifle and is no doubt adding to its heft. Might stick it up for sale and look for something a bit more suitable but will use it as is for the time being. I have also just given it a good clean and run it through the chrono which is showing at around 11.4ft/lb which i am happy with. Shame I am on nights this weekend as I really fancy an evening out with it.

Anybody got one for sale? Can't justify the new prices unfortunately :(

Anybody got a second hand one going cheap?

I can maybe understand the military application, but they seem to be marketing this as a sporting rifle. I'm sure the pig hunting will attract a few comments

The recipe is from the River Cottage cookbook, but is almost exactly the same as this one (but I just used rabbit and pigeon instead of the duck and pheasant) http://www.waitrose.com/home/recipes/recipe_directory/g/game_terrine.html The Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall version had a splash of red wine and brandy in the forcemeat as well though

Went out with Scott on Sunday night, with the new .17HMR and the .22LR. Luckily it was a great night, no wind and nice and dry. We ended up with 6 rabbits. The rifle was great, and can't wait to get out with it again, although I wasn't too impressed with the ammunition. It was also my 25th birthday yesterday, so with the day off and a load of rabbits from the night before (and pigeons from last Monday) I decided to make a big terrine. Just had the first slices for lunch and it tastes great
