Nice pics but what's the guts? Is it a MOA shooter, what's the effective range, does it fire the new Magnum rubber bands?

I notice there is no provision for a suppressor. I do hope that you decide to look after yourself and wear protective hearing aids whilst using this firearm.

I'm now tempted to go out and get one and write a full Guns 'n' Ammo shooting report - perhaps comparison test it against a Nerf gun and a spud gun - accuracy with various loads and ammo types, range, reliability, concealability, rate of fire, combat-readiness, etc

Submit it to Guns 'n' Ammo and see if they'll print it just for a lark...

We went for a walk last night trying to get over the miday meal.

FRIKKIN SHOW-OFF!!!

Went out tonight with step-son, he with Chinese 22 semi with suppresor, me with 22 Sako.
Bugger all rabbits, the ones we did see were toey-as and grass was long, eventually got two - and one of them had just esacaped from a cat when I shot it.

Had a whack at the departing cat but missed. (and dont like the taste anyway).

Out after the hares in a night or two.

Its was pretty easy, freshly cut after haymaking. Went out again tonight. Only saw one and it was moving at a great rate of knots. Think they are on to us.

Oh, yeah, ya reckon? There're probably posters of you buggers plastered on the walls of every warren in a 20km radius...

I don't believe in New Years resolutions. It'd be a good idea to resolve to lose some weight, but I know from years of trying to give up smoking that'd be a looser of an idea.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't smoked in 35 years...

So for 2009 I *will* make the resolution that I will be at the range a whole lot more than I was in 2008.

May all of you get to whatever range you wish, as often as you wish, and may the sun be shining...

After 10 years I finally contacted the original person that turned me onto th e dark path.

Mark is the person who gave me my first taste of using black powder rather than the modern propellant. Shooting his original 1853 2 band Enfield. His father is one of the UK's top black powder rifle shooters and they had me stay at the MLAGB base in Bisley a few times. Watched Mark and his father shooting front stuffers at 1200 yards at Bisley and scoring bulls more often than not.

Lost track of him when he emigrated to Malta. Through another shooting board I managed to contact his father and then through him I got in contact with mark.

He phoned me on Xmas night at 2 am and again last Saturday at 11pm.

He will be comming over for a holiday in 2010.

He also has a couple of new ( old ) toys for me which he will send over.

A 10 guage SxS shotgun and a 16 guage SxS shotgun.

Not in perfect condition cosmetically but still very shootable.

The 10 Guage is for me and the 16 guage for her indoors (a 12 is too heavy for her to fire comfortable for any length of time.)

The 10 guage is for me to use in Cowboy Action Shooting. My 12 guage shotties make the targets ring. The 10 should pick them up and bowl them over. Also the added bonus that the 10 has another 20 yards reach on the 12 guage.

You can also still use lead when duck hunting. Restriction to steel only aplies to 12 guage.

So as soon as Mark can get these shotties over to me I will have some new shells to learn how to reload. BTW both are hammer guns proofed for nitro.

MArk is also going to keep an eye out for some good quality Martini Enfields for me. As well as any genuine Marlin lever actions from 1881 onwarde.

It is really good to be able to contact old mates and it is a bonus when they can assist you in your hobby because they share it also.

That a Tikka - with a Leupold? I see you have the same kind of rabbits they do here - the slow, sad leaky ones.

My boy went out hunting early this morning with his Uncle Wick and spotted this wee piggy. Have no idea what he shot it with but MMMMmmmm!! Looks tasty!

Sorry bout the size. I have no way of resizing pics anymore.
