😂🤣😂🤣 Thank you for the reply. Russ

Your right about the peanuts, very good but expensive. I get mine from B&M at £20:00 a bag. But there’s so much natural food available at the moment the greys aren’t that interested in the peanuts.

Thank you for all the good advice in your reply it’s very much appreciated. I’m keeping an eye on Guntrader for 10/22s. Regards. Russ

Thanks for the advice. My shooting will be from a high seat as well. Have you tried peanuts in your feeder? Thanks for taking the time to reply. I don’t think you will find a better vermin gun than a CZ bolt action 22. I’ll definitely be upgrading the trigger. Regards Russ Thanks for replying to my question. It’s much appreciated 👍😊 I agree that the choice of ammo is critical with a semi auto. Thanks for the advice about the Eley subs.

Thanks for the advice. It’s much appreciated esythe bit about the stock to receiver fit. Regards Russ I’ll be using mine for squirrels on a feeder so your reply was very helpful. Do you use a high seat? Any advice on back stops would be helpful. Regards Russ.

The extended mag release and bolt handle do appear to be the most popular options. I can’t see the rifle ever being used beyond 25 yards for vermin control and the occasional 50 yard range trip so your advice has been most welcome. Which range do you use? I’m in Bedfordshire and am always looking for somewhere local to shoot. Thanks for taking the time to reply and share your experience of the 10/22. Regards Russ

This is the type of advice I was looking for so thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I was looking for real world experience from PW members not the advertising BS in gun magazines or YT. If it was used for hunting it would never be beyond 25 yards I’ve got a superbly accurate Tikka TX1 in 22rf which is my go to hunting rifle. From the helpful replies I’ve received I thinking it will be more of a range gun. Thanks again. Regards. Russ

Thanks for the reply. It’s much appreciated. Regards Russ My primary hunting rifle is my Tikka TX1 which will always be my first choice. If I get a 10/22 it will only ever be a short range hunter or a range rifle. Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your thoughts with me. Regards Russ That is very good advice. I’ve got three of those already. Thanks for taking the time to reply it’s much appreciated. Regards Russ.

Thanks Andy that’s just the type of advice I was looking for. Regards Russ I’d not considered a CZ but I’ll have a look at them. My bolt action 22rf is the absolutely superb Tikka TX1 which I’m very happy with. The 10/22 would be a short range hunting/ range rifle. Thanks for the advice. Russ That’s some very valuable advice which has given me plenty to think about. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question it’s much appreciated. Regards Russ

I have a spare slot for 22RF on my FAC and am considering filling it with a Ruger 10/22. The rifle will be used for rabbits and squirrels and the occasional plinking session on the range. Ideally the rifle will be in its original form as I’m not interested in some of the Triggers broom models I’ve seen on Gun Trader. My questions are; How “agricultural “ is the build quality? ShouId I budget for a replacement/ upgraded trigger? Does buying new guarantee a better quality than the many second hand ones I’ve seen on Guntrader? Other than the trigger what other modifications would be recommended for a rifle that’s main use will be pest control? Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Looks good mate. Any spare portions going? 😊

I’ve done this course and would not hesitate to recommend it to any one who has an interest in grey squirrel management. I

I did wonder. Loving my Mossberg 410 I just should use it more.

Do you shoot the 410 off the Primos sticks?

That’s proper dedication mate. 👍😊
