Ultrastu

Don't forget the squirrels impact on birds eggs . They can get everywhere and seem to live every where too .

Thanks .I was thinking Welsh cocker spaniel .but the colour is wrong .

Wcs?

I MUCH prefer a rear bolt to a side lever .biathlon style or a simple straight lever For me a bolt to the rear is in exactly the correct place for the hand to come up out of the trigger guard with no reach forward to a side lever .some side levers are so far forward you have to totally un shoulder the gun to reach forward to them .daystates are like this .

If it was my money £700 ish I would buy a bsa ultra clx (60 shots in 177 .80 in .22 ) and a decent pump .Hills or fx . And that's it your done .it will work for ever and be light for hunting and accurate .

There are few clays at a ground that a .410 can't break .the side on going away 40 plus yds .the long looper at 45 + yds . the small battues high in the sky etc .every thing else sub 35 is fair game and if he is shooting in the right place will break the clay .I'd say for a 12 year old he is going to handle his .410 better than any 12b ..

Just to let you know .if I can't park very near to a job I don't take it .its that simple .tools in and out the van constantly .and always a mind on security .most trades men won't even try and drive and park in City centres . The risks to reward isn't worth it . This is what the councils want less cars and traffic = less trade and loss of business and lively hoods. And they then wonder why crime goes up .🤪

£100 maybe .that's an old old hawke scope on a cheap budget springer that you can buy today for £110 brand new . Hasan striker 1000s plenty about . You have to remember .its always easy to buy stuff but much harder to sell it .a

The bolt action ws. Is a well built gun and tend to have a good choke and pattern well (mine certainly did.) But they are slow and fiddly to load especially for a single shot gun . As for choke .no multi choke doesn't make a huge difference .but an ou will be a better gun to hunt and clay with than the ws.

My mate has some silo socks both crow and pigeon and has had great results with them . We have done experiments where we have had silo socks /full boddied plastic and real birds in different sections of the kill area .and pigeons will come into any and all of the zones . Basically if your in the right spot and the birds want it they will come into any half decent decoy .

They will shoot fine and won't harm your barrel one bit .they my be 0.1 grain heavier than unoxidized pellets but that won't make any difference to accuracy .just wash your hands after

Yes English springer spaniel My dog full fills your entire brief as its exactly mine also

I won't touch scarpa ever again .bought a pair a few years ago .they were light and comfortable but let water straight in (supposed to be gortex think they were lying ) and the sole were totally gone within 3 months never seen wear like it . They were scarpa mavericks . Total rubbish .

Yes he is .

Take a look at the oex boots in go out doors . I have a pair and really rate them for waterproof ness excellent value also
