  1. What are you going to replace them with Donnie ? Staying Orange ?
  2. Good morrow kind sirs .
  3. This ^ ^ ^ . Its why I have had more success with the cheap springer and irons .
  4. I must of had mine for at least 40 years . Its a Pedretti . When I first got it I copuld not understand how I was missing things so , fired it on a pattern plate . Turns out I was getting a cigar shaped pattern at about a 45 degree angle . Took the moderator tube off and discovered the cross holes ( muzzle breaks ) were just drilled strait through without removing the burrs . Once I removed the burrs it put out a decent if not tight pattern ( being full choke ) Not worth selling . Its always there ...
  5. I get them in the traps daily . The older ones are trap shy and wont touch it . I have shot a few with an air rifle and the best efforts have been with an old Chinese springer with open sights . But the .410 ( fully moderated ) is the bollox .
  6. I think it will be a Co2 powered gun probably only around 8 ftlbs at the muzzle so somewhat less down range . You would have to hit the rat bang on the swede from close up to kill it and the scope probably wont zero down to the ten yards it would be affective at so you would have to piss about with " hold under " or shim one end of the scope to get a short range zero .
  7. Just stock up on Yorky bars and keep on truckin' 🙂
  8. Does it say Oregon on the badge Mick ?
  9. They are small bore shot guns with brass cartridges . Usually 9mm but can be .410 or .360 or .22 . Its the spread he would need . If you think he could manage a pre charged air rifle , sitting at a bench with a bipod then I can recommend the Daystate Huntsman Revere . ( I have one ) . They can be sub 12flb or FAC rated .
  10. You need something with a spread pattern . I don't supposed he would have time or able to hold still to aim with anything single shot . If he can manage a .410 that will do it or as I said a small garden gun .
  11. If he can hit a rat and kill it with an air pistol he needs to be in the Olympic team . Be better off with a " garden gun " .
  12. Camper van .
  13. Hands off cocks on with socks !
  14. How did you manage to post this Pete ?
  15. I think its from his own " older " saws .
  16. Good to see Eggs on the up now what with his planning on the bit of land he has . Go Eggs Go mate ! @eggsarascal
  17. I tried some once . Found them too big and clumpy . No feel for what you are doing . I suppose its a trade off . If you don't have heated handles ( which is supposed to help against white finger ) then as above . Take a break now and then .

    Jokes???

    I thought he was part of that gay duo of Ben Doon and Phil Macavity .
  19. Felt sorry for Amber Rutter in the Olympic skeet . A hit is a hit even if its not " dusted " Hats off to her though with her great attitude . No fuss just accepted the silver .
  20. Are you gonna have a punt Steve ?
  21. Good morning Vietnam !
  22. So . Not at all comfortable , but being a hero you still wear one . Hats off to you ( deliberate pun ) 😀
  23. Oi oi chaps . 'kin Sunday innit .
