ian_in_the_midlands Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I am considering getting a 17 hornet. On paper, they look ideal for long range rabbit, occasional fox, lightweight walking gun. The problem is, I do not know anyone with one, nor have I ever seen one used. Is anyone planning a day at Minsterly who shoots one and wouldn't mind me popping over? Alternatively, is there anyone in the Staffordshire/Shropshire area who uses one would be willing to let me see one in action? Thanks.

ian_in_the_midlands Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Belfast a bit too far off unfortunately, but ta for the offer. Another rifle club reasonably close to me is Swadlincote if anyone shoots one there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another rifle club reasonably close to me is Swadlincote if anyone shoots one there? Sparkie might be at the shoots at Garlands or Catton. Just keep your eye on the meeting section for Catton, he will no doubt post on there or better still give him a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
