Ok bud thanks coming back so quickly

It's bloody awful! Lol Good laugh though fair play to you buddy - some people wouldn't dream of doing that to a rifle - even an SMK! It can always be an ice breaker at a club or something. Get there 'oh hi I'm such and such, what do you shoot?' 'Hi I shoot a zebra monstrosity!' Lol Good on ya buddy

I've just been looking at these as an alternative to the ones on my MTC mamba as I preferred the 'pop up' style ones that my hawke scope before had. Are they really worth over a tenner per cover? So over £20 plus postage?! Just seems a lot to me? Thanks in advance Dan

Il always have air rifles, although I'm looking to apply for a rimmie soon, it will always have it place in any arsenal where it's invaluable

Get down to your local shoot and ask for beating for next season. This may not get you shooting tomorrow, but will certainly get you well on the way in a years time. You will certainly meet a few people who need some ratting on their farm, or forbids knocking back from attacking their livestock when lambing etc. You could also offer to help out a little during the break - there's always plenty going on at our local shoot in preparation for next season and it would certainly stand you in good stead for next season should the gamekeeper ever need anyone Dan

As above Thanks

LMAO this made me almost fall off my chair great stuff

I use this. It's fantastic quality and cheap too http://bit.ly/1jLBBaA

I'd agree with finding an R10 second hand and saving for a bottle, or if you head over to facebook and join the bsa r10 group there is a great little package going opfor £550 if I remember rightly

I bought a hatsan striker .177 and had it about 3 weeks. Can't say it was a bad gun at the price either but bought a BSA R10 and knew it wouldn't see daylight so part ex it in the deal and got £100 back

Il tell you why, these threads always end the same. With person after person coming in telling them they have no chance of getting given a perm having been here 5 mins and contributed nothing and gained no trust. They get told the same thing - to get out knocking on doors Why not read through the last god knows how many wanted threads and see the exact same text time and time again Tbh I think the wanted section is useless and a waste of space. I learned this by posting like this myself. Best thing is as above get out and ask face to face and offer your services in return maybe something other than shooting for example if your a plumber etc By all means keep your eye on the opportunities offered threads for something nearby but a good post count and showing your someone who can be trusted will still be a must. The way I had it explained to me is would you let a strange person you don't know wander around your land with a dangerous and loaded firearm?

You've got a whole 3 posts too. I'm going to get some popcorn for this one

no pics bullet boy but il be there soon enough and if its still there il take one - i wouldnt hold your breathe though - his stock doesnt hang about

there is a gorgeous huntsman regal in at my local RFD - special stock £60 extra from daystate and its truly stunning but as above its all about the looks rather than upgrade in performance

Never seen anything at doveridge il check that out thanks

BSA R10 Don't know what day as yet. Week is fairly well booked up to be honest. Maybe Wednesday morning buddy

Ah yea seen it now it's 45 yards - perfect Il pop up one day next week

I've been to dolphin a couple of times and didn't realise they had a range. What length is their range? I take it it's back behind the shop? I'm just down the A50 at uttoxeter

Can any of you recommend a decent shooting range as above? The only ones I can find I have to pay membership for a year straight up (or at least half of it) and I wouldn't know if it's somewhere I'd like to spend time, or even how I'd get on with people there. I'd much prefer a pay as you go and low membership fee but I guess that's not the way it works....

The a tec still hasn't come in. He says should be Tuesday. Apparently they are hard to get as they can't make them quick enough in Sweden. Always a good sign!

£145 isnt a bad price at all

i personally would be going back to this gunsmith and would be explaining that im unhappy about it and firstly give him the opportunity to correct/explain if i was then unhappy with the outcome i would explain i will be taking it to SFS and he will receive the bill

I definitely think speaking to Sandwell field sports would be a good idea I had a hw95 tuned there and it was awesome

Will do should hopefully be tomorrow afternoon. Although starting to think I need to sort a bipod too lol Getting costly lol

Ive seen si pittaways video on a visit to SFS and tony states there should be very little grease - just enough in fact google the video and check it out but id be asking some questions if i were you. Im speaking to phil at the rat works to have my R10 tuned which includes a huge list of work and upgrades and i can have it back in 3 days for under £100
