smiffyuk2003 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well I went for a shoot Saturday morning, was on the way back to the motor when I saw a easy shot 25 yards or so out, gotta take this.. So I did, pulled the trigger but out of pellets, noooo, quick mag change and the rabbits still there. Head shot, result.. Happy as a pig in muck 6 bunnies for the freezer. Off I went home. Trying to tell the missus about my last kill and how i very nearly missed a chance of number 6 when it dawned on me, I did a quick mag change but put my empty mag on the Rock at the side of me, got the kill and walked off. Gutted I got bunny's for the freezer but £35 down on a magazine. Just hope it's there next saturdaywhen I go again, but will it be OK? It's a bsa r10 magazine.

smiffyuk2003 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ha ha, if only. It's quite a vast area I shoot in and I know I'm not the only one who goes, far from it. But fingers crossed it's still there. Only had the thing 2 week :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Why not go back for it sooner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiffyuk2003 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Saturday is the only day I don't work, and it's nearly a hour away from where I live, I wouldn't be able to get there in light hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Don't think anyone will find it if it's sat on a rock. You could ask the landowner to pick it up on his rounds for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hopefully it's not the kind of thing the average person will recognise. Don't know why magazines are so jeffing expensive anyway. The one on my Sako Finnfire is 2 bits of plastic and a spring - £40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 hope you get it back ok. I once left my home made shooting sticks and a folded up gunslip (it was an old one that broke so rather than bin it I folded it up and taped it and used it as a handy gun rest when ambushing rabbits). The builders making a new horse shelter found my stuff and reported it all to the police who came and took it thinking it could have been firstly a bomb, but then after examining it, a criminals metal stealing kit.... (thinking the home made shooting sticks were some sort of scissor type tool) I kid you not. I had to go to the station and have an interview with them to get my stuff back.

smiffyuk2003 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Result, my brother went this morning for a early shoot and has found my mag, saved me some coin. Would I be best changing the metal ring in it or should it be OK? It's only been a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Should be fine just give a spray with WD40'as it will drive out any moisture and dry so nothing can stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Feel your pain! I ordered a Magazine for the Raptor 8 days ago and I am still waiting for delivery! I didn't even get a reply to my email to the company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even get a reply to my email to the company! Jeeeez that's some bad customer service, if they don't contact you, try tweeting them if they have a twitter account. I find they soon shift once all the public can see they are slack ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiffyuk2003 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 :lol: ..apparently you know where the rock is, and there is this new invention called a torch. ATB! Everyone's a comic! I did know exactly where it was but it is also a 2000 acres moorland with terrain that's hard enough to manage in daylight let alone dark or by torch. The £35 it would have been to replace it was an easier option than the effort it would taken to find it. But it's sorted now anyways so all in all a pointless message.
