  1. Totally valid comment and it would be the case up till about 8 months ago when my farmer decided to let his colleague run paid shooting days. I only have special permission for myself as been going so long so things are not all ways as selfish as they seem.
  2. Thank you, my permission on mersea is okay to keep me going normally but believe it or not there are only rabbits on east mersea and none on west. The main fields for them are all rape at moment and mild weather has let it shoot up well above bunny height so very awkward and not worth the trip to be honest. Hopefully some heavy frost come soon and shrink it down a bit!.
  3. Anyone wanting a hand with rabbits in essex (chelmsford/colchester surroundings) please let me know. Experienced shot with open fac using 22lr. Most of my permission is rape at moment and grown so fast with mild autumn it's to high to be practical at the moment.
  4. I assume some people may target shoot so want supplies of solid and hunt as well and need expanding as well.
  5. That's where my 750 in possession and amount to buy at once is 500 seems sensible. I can buy a brick of them (500) whilst still having 250 in reserve but can't lawfully build up large stash of them.
  6. Believe the ultrafire are not fitted with aspherical lens. There is a forum somewhere on here about modifying them. I put aspherical lens in my red ultrafire and its trebled range by making beam tighter. Also you need to make sure you use the more powerfull 3.7v rechargeable batteries with all these cree style torches as a aa size 1.5v will fit many but power greatly reduced.
  7. My essex police fac states I can hold 750 exp and 750 solid. I can purchase 500 of each at once. So I can hold a total of 1500 rounds and buy a maximum of 1000 (500 of each). This was clarified by my fao last renewal about 18 months ago. It may have recently changed because it was more economical to buy a brick of 500 but that is no longer deemed a good reason for that amount. And no I do not have target shooting on my fac and never have done. You learn something new every day though as I did not know you could have more than one rifle of the same caliber on a fac.
  8. Hi there, looking for some rabbit shooting in essex particularly chelmsford/ braintree/witham/Maldon and colchester area. Experienced, fully insured and open f.a.c holder with .22lr. Evenings/weekdays not a problem. One offs to get overrun areas back under control or regular visits (found once every 2-3 weeks optimum to stop them wising up to be most effective) would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time to read this post.
  9. It's a shame the herts and essex shooting association have these rules as they are closest to me.
  10. Sorry guys my **** of a son in law wrote in my post for a laugh!
  11. Fair point figgy, I did go on a bit and not very good explaining it but fister explained it pretty well I thought. As far as not rocket science goes it depends what level you want to take it too. I have seen people weighing every round ringing the changes, produce charts and graphs had booklets to shoot with and scope covers with all there calculations on. I have also seen people , one old keeper in particular where windage is a bit to the left or right and elevation is up and down...but he drops foxes, rabbits and the like as well as anyone.
  12. Hi I don't know what make/ type of batteries come with a1 flappers so cant advise but if they are lead acid and 1.2ah then you need a charger no higher than 1200 milliamps for optimum battery life.
  13. Could have swore in my original post "mil dots and bullet trajectories confusing" ! Please take this post as intended, a tried and tested simple method for zeroing a scope for various ranges. Any input to help explain is welcome but please bear in mind it's not for experienced people in the know who could cloud what I am trying to do.
  14. Spot on fister but I was trying to stay away from words like focal plane and stadia as most just starting out wont have a clue and never need to.
