Boxing Day Hunt Meets

[Matthew Arnold]

if ya dont want a firearms ticket then 12ftlb is ur limit. My dad and i both have BSA Ultra Multi shot. Brilliant guns. CO2 powered plenty of poke in them to kill a rabbit at 40 yards.

[Sam Thompson]

Quite agree, 12f/lb kills rabbits and such out to 40m with headshots. Practice practice practice.

 

I dont do much airgun work nowadays (prefer a .22lr) but when I did a bit then Weirach (spelling) were very highly rated.

 

 

 

Its all good fun

Hi Ranger 22-250 Roe ? must be in Scotland

[Matthew Arnold]

I meant to say in secondary brackets (humanely dispatching wounded roadside deer.) I don't actually use it to stalk deer as it is massively illegal. Its sounds like a massive overkill using 22-250 for finishing deer off as a 22 would do the job suitably but i have been asked by the local firearms officer to use it rather than a 22. Don't ask me why.

You can use it in scotland for Roe.

 

If you have to dispatch a wounded animal you can use any means necessary.

Im after a 4 or 8 for the foreshore. Used to have a beautiful E M Reilly 4 bore with a 44-inch barrel. It only ever killed geese, but it was some gun. I sold it a couple of years back as it wasn't getting the service out of it, a month later and I missed it. Everytime I have been out with the Supernova (my fowling piece) Old Rosie (all my guns have names ) is missed.

 

 

Im a plastic stock man with all but game shooting shotguns, but those old fowling pieces are something else.

i might be wrong but i thought 5 shot guns were illegal

[Sam Thompson]

i might be wrong but i thought 5 shot guns were illegal

 

On a shot gun certificate yes (anything above three) but on a Firearms certificate its legal

If you mean shot guns that hold more than 3 cartrages then they are unless you have a good reason and have it entered in to you firearms licence under section 1
