  1. .22 is a bouncing bomb in comparison to an HMR, also easily accurate to 100yds. However ammo is 5 times more expensive and they are louder. NB always check .17 ammo before use.
  2. I’ll add my two pennies worth, and that is how I much prefer a mil dot reticule.
  3. I think they are taking the Mickey, mine was £15 or perhaps £25 ( I don’t remember) and took a couple of weeks. Northamptonshire police however have yet to issue it some 12 months later, they did issue a “12 month temporary permit” 5 months after certificate expiry. They literally can’t get the staff.
  4. If destroying an old worn out gun, if it’s tricky to cut with a slitting disc ( I can’t see why it would be but I’ve never tried ) could you not just use a mig welder and fill the breech?
  5. Thanks for the quick replies Tightchoke and Ditchman , it would appear to be working ok now, when I searched for Pigeon watch the usual link said server not working 🤷.Then the links seemed very old, so I had a bit of a panic on, as although not an often visitor it’s always invaluable when I do. Thanks Happy Shooting H
  6. Dearest pigeon watch, where have all the recent posts gone, has the site moved or what?
  7. I’ll have it, I would send you a PM if I could work out how to 🙈
  8. Well that seems to be unanimous, many thanks folks👍😃
  9. So folks which wellies are the warmest? I’ve the Chamaeu neoprene which are ok but the rubber has a shelf life of 10 years and not they're that warm in the foot part.
  10. My mistake, it’s under consultation, as pointed out by others. So we all do need to respond to it. Question is, what’s the driver behind it? I’ve seen no information proving gun crime is increasingly performed using legally held guns. Is it just a case of ineffectual government coming after gun control for pr reasons?
  11. Under-18s 'will be BANNED from shooting air guns without an adult' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8982521/Under-18s-BANNED-shooting-air-guns-without-adult-new-plans.html This is catastrophic for the industry
  12. This summer I think I’ve seen more nesting pigeons than normal in house gardens etc. So I am expecting to see large flocks when they start mass feeding. Weather is a bit mild yet though I think.
  13. That was my thought, he’s had a sgc over 30 years. Clays, rough, game, pest. What else are you going to use it for? Anyway thanks for all your replies. H
