September through to November usually when they are most active in the trees looking for nuts etc . But obviously can be found at all times of the year .

That looks beautiful .reminds me of my time around the able tasmin national Park- top of the South Island. We kayaked along the coast and camped on the beaches . I love your photos .takes me back to my youth thanks . All my photos of my time in NZ are on slides in the loft somewhere .

What difference does it make ? If it shoots well then it's a good gun . Test for accuracy .shot cycle , trigger pull .noise .general condition . if it passes then buy it . Who cares where its made really ?

Lmbr r2a Air, rim ,cf and shotgun if your careful.

Maybe consider a semi auto .they are usually much softer on the shoulder than an ou . You will probably need to use a 24 grm load in 20 b and a 28 in 12 to get the gun to cycle well but they will still recoil less than a 20 b with a 21 grm load and 12 b with 24 grm . More lead in the air .too . Just make sure to only load 2 carts though .and slip the gun .

Is there a loose pellet stuck in the hammer pin area under the magazine. Stopping the hammer from striking the valve pin .? I'm not sure what you mean " no air pressure to fire " Do you mean the the trigger can't be cocked by the mmc button ? Or when you pull the trigger the gun doesn't let any air loose . Or it all fires OK but the pellet doesn't exit the barrel as there isn't enough puff ? If its this then you have a damaged pellet probe oring .

Oh don't show me that . I've always thought the best gun for a hushpower conversion would be a sa. In 28 gauge . And I looked at those benelli' s last year. Is the barrel ported under that tube ? And I presume the choke isn't changeable.?

Interesting stuff . Some times a barrel doesn't align perfectly with the scope rail /dovetails . And we have to crank the turrets to compensate . Break barreled guns can suffer massively from this .and pcps can get knocked and if there is a front barrel band this can hold a barrel out of alignment . Aa. s400 springs to mind . Bull pups too . Sometimes just poor manufacturing is to blame . As above a set of adjustable mounts should correct most issues . Or slight shimming of the scope rings my get you nearer to centre . Cheers .

Thanks .

Price and location and calibre please ?

I had a scope that when you zoomed the reticle would tilt over as bit so not perfectly plumb any more .it tilted left and right when going up and down the zoom .there was a lose screw .if I tightened it too much the zoom became stiff .

Simple equation . The quieter the load the shorter the effective range. I had some bornaghi 24 grm no 7.5 carts in .410 they were so quiet at 50 yds you could hardly hear them .but there effective range on pigeons was 15 yds max .by contrast my much louder high pheasant will drop pigeons at 35 yds . All through a yildiz hushpower

The barrel on a tx 200 has is relatively short so the best energy will most likely come from a lighter pellet made from soft lead .I'd look to the jsb made 7.3 grn 7.9 grn and 8.4 grn ones . That's falcons /jsb rs 7.3 Webley mosquito /jsb express 7.9 And air arms /wheirauch, jsb exact 8.44 For the rats at closer range look at a flat head jsb (air arms match or the h+n econ that are really cheap but really accurate )
