Tedly47 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Evening gents hope all is well. I've noticed there's been a lack of .410 action of late so tonight I thought I'd pop down to a small wood on a new perm I've got, only problem is I've sold my shooting truck! Yes the Jimny has gone! And I'm going to miss it however times change and I need something a little bigger.... This looks a little out of place! Thank god I didn't get stuck.... Anyway I took a 3 shot bolt action Norica that I bought off a PW member a while ago, I've refinished the stock on this (my first attempt)which has changed the look of the gun completely. Now I've been itching to get out with it however it usually gets left at home in favour of the 12 so today I thought sod it I'm giving it a go..... As soon as I got to the wood I managed to get a few nice big carrion crows and a few jackdaws, only a few in the pic as I wasn't going to bother going through the brambles just for a pic (no commitment I know!) The surprise was the pigeons, 8 in total with 7 picked for 8 shots! I admit 5 were flighting into the trees so not hard shots but the other 3 I was really pleased with... I even shot one just as it landed which got another bird up, I quickly grabbed the bolt and cycled another cart and got the second bird! I was that chuffed I texted my shooting buddy Mr B (Browning123) to see if that counts as a "left-right," No he texted back it's a "one-two"........ I better try harder next time! Cheers guys, Tedly Ps, anyone know of a cheap 4x4 for sale, must be a 2005 and cheap!!!!!????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browning123 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well done Tedly - very good shooting, especially with a 410! Best we take the BMW next time we go shooting - my Jimny might get stuck again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedly47 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well done , from your picture the carrions crows are in fact rooks. Thanks fenboy your right there is a rook there, I'm lucky enough to shoot somewhere that has a multitude of different crows (if I can say that) I couldn't be bothered getting scratched to ******* trying to get them........ Pigeons are far more important as there food! Cheers Tedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair, as my .410's are single shot 2.5" chamber - second thoughts I might win though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just be aware that most of Gordon's cartridges seem to be monster loads capable of taking out the pigeon and the airliner another 5 miles up ! Or that's at least true of every 12 bore cartridge I've ever seen from him ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
