  1. Quite heavy for 16, is it scaled?
  2. Music to my ears, are you absolutely convinced?
  3. Imperial game as already mentioned, also Gamebore extreme grouse in 29g are super soft through sxs. Similar to Neutron I also find speed to be more contributory to recoil, for example 30g dark storm are much less snappy than 28g as they are slower.
  4. I thought that it was necessary to have a specific deer condition... very happy to be wrong though!
  5. Jeez, reading some off the comments in here it appears that we are having a pretty good go at destroying support for shooting through infighting. No wonder Packham is quiet, hes just sitting back and watching..
  6. Must.. resist... winding ... up... A use for Boris water cannon..
  7. I really didn’t get on with my baikal hushower but I only used subsonic carts (Eley four long and subsonic Magnum) it never felt like it packed enough lunch to kill pigeons and was only really useful for short range rabbit stalking, seems like I was too hasty in getting rid!
  8. Pickers up will thank you for using 5’s, funnily enough I use these for pigeon too. 6’s for early Grouse, anything lighter for clays. ‘See bird, shoot bird’ works for all.
  9. Chatting to farmer locally his thoughts/hope we’re that by the time they’d finished on acorns the rape would be well away. ALTHOUGH.. with today’s wind and rain many of the acorns are on the deck so won’t be around for long.
  10. Local smith charges 20 per barrel to open up.
  11. Sorry for the hijack, but I have tried to get land cleared and they will only advise ‘it’s cleared for 243’ and not ‘up to’ and when chased don’t respond. I was looking to shoot HMR over the land which I have written permission for, am I right I n thinking that this would be ok? fAO are pretty useless here (Essex)
  12. Good point, Vermin and ground game... oh no .. I NEED a new gun... I can’t find a link..
  13. Not really, I’ve only recently had it converted!
  14. Now that my semi auto is FAC I understand that I cant use it for Wildfowl (had I realised initially I wouldnt have had it converted) I will only shoot a few days of wildfowling per year , but need a cheap gun that will withstand the rigours of wildfowling. It also gives me an excuse to have a pump which suits my inner red neck! Suggestions please....
  15. Apparently the made some terrible trades years ago and complained to plod and it's now illegal.. crafty bugggers, one still owes me a wheel of cheese..
  16. Thing is, as frustrating as that was/is ...if he is flat out making game loads at 30% more, why make clay loads? I assume the differential is pure profit..
  17. I've always found that post shoot pubs are more than happy for people to bring guns in so long as they ask. Village pub often has people with slipped guns and no one cares.
  18. Reminds me why I use a car finder, although they charge a fee it's often recouped and the reduced ball ache is hugely valuable
  19. I've had two Musto, the first of which I have only just replaced after 5 years because I'm bored of it, it is perfect. I would second the suggestion of the Fenland, mine has never let me down I some of the crappiest weather and being light and packable makes it useful all year round. It's easy to add layers but sometimes inappropriate to remove them.
  20. Thanks Dave, so if I was looking for a genuine 150M in Red which picked out shape rather than eye shine which do you think would work?
  21. I don't understand why certain parts of GB are still allowed handguns.. Surely knee jerk reaction laws apply to all parts?
