Mice!

I'm sure if you were used to the old style it is strange, but it's lots easier now to post pictures, you have missed some great threads such as walkers knife auction and the making of it, with lots of pictures banter and stitches. I'm on a couple of other sites but find PW much easier to use and find things. Quite a few folk disappeared with the update, but some have come back.

you be careful walker, with your recent adventures you will be shooting the windscreen ??

Do you need a reason in Scotland? If so and you shoot clays ask them to put up a target and use it with your lads as you say. Considering how much money Scotland makes from shooting restrictions on seems crazy.

have a look on the bay for the pellet samples you can get, I can't see you having problems with chest shots looking at your accuracy. Those bisley mags will probably go in at the chest and out the back end some place. They might flip about but they are going to be dead. I was shown some pics a while ago of rats shot with a .17 hmr and they had big nasty holes in them despite the rats being small soft targets.

what fps are you getting then? Is it possible your going to quick? I would think that the barracudas and bisley mags make a great mess of the rats though at 32fp

I like the look of your rat bank, brilliant back stop and never a dull moment I imagine. I do like pest control but haven't tried them over 20 meters, are you shooting sub 12? Some nice groups which ever pellet you go with, have you tried bisley superfield? Lighter than the others your using but still a good hollow point. Have you got anything you could shoot to see what kind of holes the different pellets give? I do like the idea of the barracudas but think they will be too heavy and I would loose accuracy at sub 12.

problem is there is always bad news around, a little girl was shot in the stomach near my brothers this week and air lifted to hospital, I don't know anything more. Whether it was an accident or malicious?

have you seen the pics, wouldn't get one leg in that.

probably the amount of time you were using it? this is off the rat section, might have to start saving your pennies and pounds.

I think because of the laws in Scotland it has to be rfd to rfd. still wouldn't hand it in, as said better to sell it on cheap than have it destroyed.

That certainly makes sense, from the Little I've seen on countries like France and Italy they enjoy their cooking as much as the food so are probably happier paying more for local produce, this country now seems to be more about squeezing out every single penny, profit profit profit.

Some strange squirrel behavior today. We were away last week and apparently there were some high winds while we were gone. I have a small covered bird table with a suet block on it, found this way the rats can't get at it, it was on its side with the block gone. Everything back as it should be and this morning I'm watching the birds before I go to bed. Lovely pair of green finches and various others when I spot a squirrel in the garden!!! Haven't seen one in months in my garden. It's probably 50 meters away, window open gun out just in case, it ambled up the garden without a care in the world going in and out of bushes and shrubs, stopped to look and sniff where the bird table had fallen then came so close to the house you would think we had been hand feeding it. he then sort of hops back to the edge of the patio and picks a strawberry without a care in the world, pop! Young male who obviously enjoyed himself while we were away.

9hrs hours with no no reply when you have mentioned pigeons?? All the pigeon shooters must be out shooting pigeons.

love watching spiders do there thing, think my kids were the only ones made up on holiday because they spotted a cockroach on the street, something that looked like a giant shield bug and a souped up woodlouse, they were both sat cross legged on the stairs watching it climb the wall, don't know where they get it from? and two small gecko ?

I could on put on a picture to please your wife but fear I would get banned ?

could I please have, The Airgun Book - John Walter cheers

won't work for the first one, shiny and new but get the charity shops and car boots local free adds bargains a plenty. TT your getting loads of sympathy ??

go for the double, tell her you don't need a cot you can just use the draws in the bed room

Bit random but there are plenty of craftsmen and women, artists and folk who like good wood. we were in Majorca last week, and walked past this shop or studio a few times going to the beach, some of the stuff in there was simply amazing, well worth a look on line if your looking for some inspiration or just like furniture that resembles art. https://m.facebook.com/naturstein.wohndesign

power of the internet, can't see the trousers for the wellies, been a long night ?

can you not get a plastic cement mixing tray and modify it? Just a thought.

Have a look on the gun sales and gun star, also worth a look at your local gun shop, he might have a shelf full that aren't going anywhere and you can see for yourself what they look like.

A woman I used to chat to walking the dog got bitten a few years ago and was layed up for about two weeks due to a couple of bites, I'd never realised that their bite was so bad. She always walked the dog in trousers and wellies after that regardless of the weather.

If your mates as clumsy as you fear i would get a cheap cabinet/ locker like you use in work fit a strap inside so the tank can't move and its all out the way in the garage or shed till you need it.

I would have thought a pump was the easiest and cheapest way to go, i cant imagine you pumping up more than once on a session. It won't be rolling around and how often are you going to shoot 120 shots a session? If that's the case on a regular session i would look at another rifle maybe or take two with you?
