As above looking for a Pulsar XM30, if anyone has recently upgraded or looking to part with one give me a shout. Ta

I use the Mandel chokes in my Winchester 6500 - I can’t fault them, good quality and a reasonable price. Also look the part.

Report it to the police, as no injury they will take details and give a reference number. Go through insurance company, inform the other party of the reference number and her insurance company and ask all enquiries go through them. Even though she was at fault it may not effect no claims ect. Insurance company will be understanding that no damage at the time hence delay in report. Unfortunately when it comes to bumpers most of the time it’s a replacement job even when through insurance, as no one seems to want to just do the old fashioned repair work. The other option is to ask the other party for proof of quote for the work and then request the vehicle is assessed at a place of her choice and see if there is a difference in quote.

Thanks for the replies, this forum is always good for an honest review on stuff. Im a bit wary of the anonymous product reviews on sites.

Does anyone use the HIK 6mm thermal? It’s advertised as for airgun use in terms of range. Has anyone used one and able to give a real world review of usability? Have read all the reviews I can and it’s a real mixed bag. I’m not expecting it to perform like a Pulsar XM30, but does the performance make it a useful piece of kit for rats and rabbits with PCP airgun? How would it perform for spotting foxs? I’m not expecting to be able to identify fox’s at range - but able to spot the heat source which could be confirmed via the NV?

Uttings were selling pulsar xm22 for £850. Haven’t used one myself so not sure what the identification distance actually is

As above I am on the lookout for one of these, preferably in the case ect

Any recommendations for these site panels? I looked at Jp Corry and Haldane Fishers both looking around £50 per panel new. Used panels would fine, think CP Hire may sell off the old stock but will need to check prices tomorrow. Mainland seem to be able to pick then up for £10 a panel.

My understanding of it is that because a magazine is classed as a component part under firearms ni order 2004 there is little that can be done to fight it, short of getting the legislation changed. The reason magazines are still a component part over here is the security situation, is was told, when the firearms order ni was amended where as in the mainland it was dropped. I hear that shooting organisations are trying to get the fee reduced, and possibly a faster process outside the normal variation but that all remains to be seen. It’s another inconvenience especially for air rifle shooters where the magazines are usually lightweight plastic.

Great gun very versatile. The woodwork on yours in a nice colour 👍

What’s the difference in the laser ir? Does it give an improved picture through through night vision? Currently running a big standard ir torch - what difference would I notice?

Forgot about this song, fantastic. Having just watched the ITV show on Billy’s retirement I think it’s the end of an era!

Great write up enjoyed reading it

I use a Nikki Sterling Mount Master. Decent scope, very clear for the ranges you’ll be shooting at. Only thing is would like slightly more pronounced milldots for hold over/under

Rip Pajero!

I’m in the same boat as you, currently have a shotgun sport and what to change it to when the time comes? I have considered:- X Trail Freelander 2 XC90 Have also considered a pick up with rear bed canopy Navara being my favourite. They all have their own known issues, you can find lower mileage examples without service history or higher mileage with service history. The unicorn is the one that’s inbetween! I can’t be of much more help because i can’t decide myself, in fact the shogun will probably be dead in the drive before i change. For me its the ideal vehicle for my usage!

Have to say I enjoyed it, boxing night movie, don’t need to think to much about it just sit back and watch!

I have no real interest in fox hunting. I don’t believe the hounds ripping a fox to bits is a quick and painless death. I do like traditions and understand if families want to keep the tradition going. I believe that can be achieved with trail hunting. I understand that an unlucky fox may be caught in the process by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I also feel that lots of hunts do themselves no favours in their attitude to a) members of the public and b) landowners. In and age when everyone has a phone that can record a video why leave yourself open to criticism? I don’t believe the hunting ban will be over turned now, and I doubt that people will be willing to support hunts as readily given some of the down right stupid things caught on camera, as referred to above. Further more I don’t believe landowners are as supportive of the horse and hounds tearing across their ground as they used to be. Why have to take all your stock in to avoid an accident? Fox control is done effectively by shooting men these days, horse and hound is a tradition rather than pest control.

Would you consider cash sale?

The below was published by Country Sports Ireland today in respect of the in coming lockdown in Northern Ireland. Seems to be at odds with BASC advice at present... New Covid-19 Regulations - UPDATE The NI Executive has now published detailed guidance on the new Covid-19 regulations which will come into effect from 00:01 on December 26, 2020 (link below). These new regulations will be in place for six weeks, until 2nd February and there will be a one-week period of additional restrictions from 26 December to 2 January. During the period 26th December to 2nd January the regulations say, “Only individual or household outdoor exercise is permitted". Therefore recreational/rough shooting on an individual (or individual household) basis only will be permitted during the period 26th December to 2nd January. There may be scope for additional shooting activity after 2nd January. We have today written to the First and Deputy First Minister at the NI Executive Office seeking clarification on the regulations as they relate to shooting between 2nd Jan and 2nd Feb and asking for consideration to be given to allowing additional game shooting during this period in a way that fully complies with all Covid-19 public health measures. We of course will update Country Sports Ireland members as soon as any advice changes but in the meantime recreational/rough shooting on an individual (or individual household) basis, will be the only game shooting activity permitted. Essential pest and predator control for the protection crops, woodland or livestock has been permitted during all other Covid-19 restriction periods and may continue during the lockdown period 26th December to 2nd February.

I enjoyed it, good choice of presenters.

Thanks for all replies in the end went for Kral Puncher. As usual best laid plans changed when I actually went into the shop!

Which rifle to choose, both the same price.... BSA Super 10 .22 used or Remington Air Cobra .22 new The BSA has the rounded end on the bottle which is think makes is a mk 2? Particularly interested in any users of the Air Cobra not much to be said on internet about it as it’s been on the market for around a year.

Maintaining the numbers comes at cost, feeding ect. Given that a lot of poults come from France and the impending exit from the EU who knows what that will look like! This lockdown will have a massive effect on the local economy outside of shooting also.
