Anyone have a Winchester 9410 for sale? 2+1 for shotgun certificate. Any considered as fancy one for my squirrel control Thank you in advance

If solely after Fox, I would recommend a 12 bore and a heavy load, something between 3 shot or BB. However, it’s surprisingly how many I have had with normal bird shot, but always made sure it was close range if I took the opportunity

Bornaghi 24gm 5

Picked up a brand new Armsan Cre8 28 gauge semi auto and was itching to try it out. Snuck up after work to a few squirrel feeders I have in place but nothing was moving. Plan B was to make my way to the pheasant pens via some gorse and gamecrop above one of the main drives. As I silently approached, a huge Red Stag got up from the cover about thirty yards away and after we stared at each other for a minute or two, the magnificent beast made his way into the trees. As I watched him disappear, I was suddenly aware of more movement and slowly brought up my gun to a gingery shape trotting though the long yellow grass. At only six feet from where I stood, a large Fox cub stopped and a single shot behind the shoulder dropped him where he stood. He would have caused some damage to the poults and was a good one to take out. Just shows how close they come if you keep still!

I know subsonics are not commerially avaliable for a 28 bore but has anyone ever put a moderator on one? I was thinking a moderated Cre8 or Benelli semi auto would be a useful little gun without being too noisy with standard shells

Anyone have a 32 inch 28 bore for sale? PM me please thank you

Anyone own or used one? Pros/ cons?

Just out of curiosity, anyone shot a black squirrel? And where in the country are they found? Just watched the Shooting Show on YouTube and there were a few running about a feed ride with greys

Now it’s May I wandered if the branchers rooks will be about early or late this year? Anyone seen any yet?

Does anyone have one or used one? Are they cartridge fussy at all? Fancy a nice 28 semi auto and want a bit of advise before parting with any money

SOLD

Anyone got one? What are the pros/ cons? Looks like a good little set up without strapping something to your head or gun and captures more to see in your day shooting

Thanks Welshgun, sold pending usual

Fully working Mk1 ferret finder, considered by many the best ferret finder ever made. Comes with leather carrier and two genuine working collars. New batteries in the finder. £120 posted

Anybody shot here before? Fancy booking a rough day of various quarry. I see they do driven Snipe shooting as well.

Only trouble is at present no one makes subsonic 28 bore cartridges. But I agree it would be a lovely combo

Has anyone made a .410 over and under Hushpower yet? I know you can get the Investarm 20 bore just surprised no one has made a .410 version yet.

Anyone come across these paper cased cartridges before?

Did you get one Rimmie?

Bornaghi is imported through Ladds of Crediton now. Fantastic shell

Not being the most efficient with woodwork, anyone got any good ideas for simple squirrel feeders? Got a few hot spots that would benifit a bait and shoot approach. Any pics would help please

Thanks Rimfire. I ummed and ahhed then thought why not and I am glad I did. Its amazing how the wildlife doesn't seem to notice it, especially in such a small area as I have been shooting these in.

My parents have just bought a small 3 acre hardwood on the edge of our pheasant shoot and we noticed when we did a drive on it a lot of Grey Squirrel activity. I snuck up next morning with the Hushpower .410 and a pocket full of Express Magnasonics and had only walked a few steps when a young squirrel ran up the tree to my right. A swift shot tumbled it back down and shot another brace before I even got to the edge of the woods. I leant against a tree and over the next hour added another four before I had to go again. The Hushpower works very well with the sub sonics and is all I use in the Gun. A few days later I went up again and arrived in the darkness listening to the world waking up. Several wood pigeons floated out from roost and soon enough the squirrels were awake. For a small area it seemed every where I looked was a bushy tail, ending up with some smart shooting and stalking another nine, which included three left and rights. The Hushpower worked well again, not disturbing the pheasants that scurried out to see what was happening. Will be out again this weekend to see how many, if any, are left!
