Yep. Both Pedretti. I remember mine as having longer barrels but that could just be bad memories. I didn’t have a big enough coat at the time to get the full benefit from it. I patterned mine and it seemed normal at the time but bear in mind I’m not very serious about shotguns. Mainly used it in lieu of an air rifle while I didn’t have one and where I didn’t want to use the rimfire. Sitting rabbits to thirty yards ish. Anything moving was pot luck. I’m rubbish with shotguns. No sense of art.

I did explain... I can do it with different words but it will be fundamentally the same explanation.

I’ve twice bought one of those brilliant hushpower 410 folders and twice sold them for underuse. One would probably come in handy for the inevitable arrival of rats (following the indeterminate arrival of chickens) though. Perhaps third time lucky.

Anyone else want in on a bulk deal on cats with me and peds? I’ve just dug a hole for an old one.

I’m back to your first idea. A semi auto pistol, empty the clip and let slip the chooks of war. 4m shots are surprisingly difficult btw. You think you need to hold under because you’re closer than your zero (probably). You actually need to hold over because you’re so close that your boreline hasn’t met your sightline (probably a scope quite high off the bore) yet. Unintuitive.

A garden gun is a 9mm shotgun. You need a cert, they’re silly long and only about as powerful as a Thai massage. Pre charged pneumatic air rifles are lovely, lovely things. Lightly armour the danger area, peanut butter for bait and choose which ear you want to put the pellet in. Plus plink at little spinning targets, things that go ding etc.

On vomit, we recently drove through the North York Moors. I enjoyed the fast little roads. Sailor didn’t and relocated his breakfast to the door pocket of the van. Haven’t had the guts to properly clear it out yet. I suspect I will regret this lax approach to maintenance the next time I need a cable tie or some blue roll and instead find a chunk. Dogs are mint…

IMG_3708.MOV Sailor enjoying a rabbit for the second time. I lead poisoned it, he ate it. We went for a drive and he abandoned it in the boot of dad’s car. Was in pretty good order so put it in a bowl and he was only too pleased for a second chance. A friend counselled, “Well they don’t have pockets do they.”

Rimfire. This one LR. WMR and HMR also available. I’d have preferred an air rifle to be honest but they’re bigger, heavier and more expensive. Might investigate shorts or CB caps for this.

I’d like to say a custom made Gozzi Junior but in fact a Chiappa Little Badger. £100 and I class that as not underpaying.

Parents are fostering this lovely fellow. Mee-cho. Pronounced mee-sha, as in Russian ish sounding name. Paperwork said caucasian shepherd. Mum reckons it’s a bohemian shepherd. Very much bearier than Sailor, including head shape. Who knows. Likes belly rubs and sitting in cars.

I’ve recently renewed my longstanding love for irons. Gashy plastic ones but they work well enough that I can use them for a bit while I work out what I want to replace them with. Rifle is an absolute sweetheart. I’ve left a rail on to try a long eye relief pistol scope a mate has for me but irons really do seem right.

How did you do it? I have some vague plan in the back corner of my brain to do it with Riddles.

That’s why your chipper “randomly” stopped working.

Still haven’t tried it. Seemed a lot of pans.

Does the heavier flywheel of a steel disc smooth the engine out?

And don't worry about the cost of machines. Just steal one, you Irish bastard. -

I suspected your woods were soft considering the winter we've just had! As roys said, peds. Rip and burn. Spraying it around with a chipper is maximum effort for maximum accidental replanting. I use a skidsteer because I have a skidsteer and I like skidsteers for other things. A digger would also be fine for ripping and better to dig holes to burn stuff in if that's the sort of thing your customers want. It could be that a digger that can do hippy things like dig ponds pushes you that way. Or it could be that a skidsteer that can trench, scrape, rake, move stuff on forks, manbasket etc etc pushes you that way. -
This is worse than when seventhdevil showed us his fingernails.

You’ll have to ask someone with a Hobbs! edit: You did. The world doesn’t revolve around me.

Sold btw.

It was on there when I bought it second hand. I’ll find the designer’s e-mail address for you. He’s very helpful.
