Re: digital scales pellet weighing

Mother in laws bathroom scales? Weigh to the nearest kilo but only go to 200 so no use any more. That's bad mate I bought a set off eBay for £6.25 with the intention of whiling away my sick leave weighing pellets to give me every advantage of giving my cousin an age old butt kicking, but I have to ...

Re: the best scopes just happen to be mine, Hurrah.

A few years ago I read a paper on scopes for centre fire rifles, but which sort rifles doesn't matter. The author had tested several scopes from cheapish ones like Bushnels and Nikkos to expensive ones Schmidt & Bender and Zeiss, I recall he also tested Leupolds and Nightforce. The big differenc...

Re: Txhc scope

I feel this thread begs the question " What are you going to shoot with your TX200?" I use predominately 4x40 scopes yes they are fixed power scopes and I know I'm an silly old man for doing so. In case you are wondering why such low magnification, I use my rifles for hunting deer, rabbits...

Re: How about this weekend?

What are you thinking of hunting? Seen a few rabbits about when I walk the dog and I'm thinking about the squirrels in a local wood where I deer stalk over.

Re: Drug limits

I know people have small amounts of illegal drugs on their hands which has come from bank notes for example. These days you can be contaminated by all sorts of ways. Drug taking is so common today it is impossible not to get contaminated, especially in the inner cities. So I think it would be unfair...

Re: Where have all the older Airguns gone?

People starting out haven't heard of sites like Gun Trader and you can't sell your old air rifles on e-bay, British law has ruined the market. A few years ago I was given a sign to put up which read Guns only fear rust and politicians. Having been a pistol shooter at the time of the ban and a shotgu...

Re: Tx200 mk 3 field target

I said in my first reply that my rifle was a mk2, but having had a fresh look at it I'm not so sure. Can't find anything on the rifle to say which it is. I know it is about 10 years old does anyone know how I could tell which mk it is? Does not matter which one it is I still like it other than the w...
