  1. Cheers for that. Il do it tommorow morning go mark some boards out 10meters apart and see. But I’d say that post is deffinalty less than 25m away
  2. Really bad way to judge the distance I know but for example, from the hedge to that post. It is only just reaching and when it does it’s out of power you can’t even hear it. I know it’s only a air rifle but that isn’t very far.....(not trying to shoot the birds on the power line was just comparing to my friends for distance) you can can see the pellet drop through the scope when you shoot. or have I got to big of expectations on distance lol?
  3. Just been and used it messing about zeroing it with a friend with his rifle. I know this is a cheaper gun but it seems to travel much less distance than my friends s400 and also even at shorter distance by looking and sound it seems less powerful?!? I’ve pumped it up all seems ok, am I missing something or is it just due to being cheaper etc?
  4. Took it back into the dealer I bought it from today as he asked to see if before I applied the oil I got from there at the weekend. He’s sending it back to GMK. Said it shouldn’t of happened and it looks awful he wants Gmk to replace it or sort he said so it’s going back. That’s Sorted that problem lol
  5. Only thing the shop owner did say if it was him he’d get rid of the moderator for a Weihrauch one as that’s the only real negative about them for the price he said.
  6. Monkey say monkey do....
  7. 22, main reason, all they had lol.
  8. Went for the gamo deal in the end. I’m happy with it. £450, gun bag pump and a tin of pellets. Sure it will be fine to play around with for me.
  9. Well that was false hope, lad at work got it completely wrong wasn’t a ultra. Was a old bsa springer his dads selling he’s just bought the ultra lol moron. Just been in my local shop though after and he was telling me a Gamo Phox would be good for what I’m after. Seems to cheap to me so thought I’d go away and have a read up first but everything I’ve read so far is positive. Gun, gun bag, scope and stirup pump £450. Or is there a reason this is so cheap?
  10. Thanks for that, cheers for the replies. Think I’ve struck gold. Turns out a lad at works dad is selling a bsa ultra, scope and his pump said I can have it for £300 so going to go with that. Pick it up after work.
  11. Cheers for that il give them a ring tommorow see if they still got it and got for a look if they have
  12. Cheers for that, I’ve just fount this from a local shop, good for the money ? https://www.guntrader.uk/3rdParty/DerekLeeGunsmithsLtd/Detail.php?NewGunID=180516102644001
  13. Hi guys, Just after a recommendation for cheap air rifle (below £400 ideally). Not after anything spectacular just to shoot pigeons in a barn. Looked on local sale sites nothing really in my traveling distance so looking new and cheap? Cheers
  14. Yea I enjoyed it, figured book more lessons than go off on my own for a bit. Sooner have them telling me what I’m doing wrong than everyone I’m out with lol
  15. Thanks for all the replies, had a lesson Saturday he said to start off with cylinder and skeet also so that’s what I used. Seemed to get on ok with it. Booked another 3 double lessons for the next every other week so see how we go.
  16. It is a beretta, il go get some tommorow and give it ago
  17. Hi, Had a shooting lesson Saturday and got to use my new gun for the first time, however its now got water spot and water run marks on the stock which is very annoying!! Anybody got any good tips to get them off or am I stuck with them now? Thanks
  18. Never used them. Bought them both just before I bought my first house about 6 or 7 years ago then sold them all pretty much after I bought them
  19. Thanks for that, cheers for saying how many grooves as I’ve no idea which is which
  20. Clay shooting, don’t ask me what I haven’t got that far in the plan. Just of to a local club this weekend hopefully
  21. Hi guys, Got my first gun at the weekend, beretta 686 and it came with 5 chokes. The guy in the shop told me which two to use while I’m learning but I’ve completely forgot what he said. I’m sure he said skeet and something? any ideas what to start out with? cheers
  22. No, it’s not well insulated. Il stick to leaving them on top of the wardrobe then.
  23. Just got my license so new to all this so thought i best ask. Is is there any issues with storing shotgun cartridges in my garage?
