    Anyone into shooting?

    One hobby/sport I love as much as RC models is shooting! Here is my rifle, its a CZ 452 Varmint chambered in .17 HMR, with a McMillan stock, scope is a Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical 4.5-14x42, all up its cost well over £1000, yeah thats just this one gun... atleast you cant really crash these! It gets used for pest control on my parents farm as well as target shooting although I'm getting a .22LR semi automatic for this as the ammo is a much cheaper and quieter (subsonic)! Cheers, hope you like it,

    I know theres a bit of a stigma attached to shooting as a sport, but I aint going to hide away because of a few tw@ts like Bird, its a great sport and I'd recomend it to anyone! (safe).

    A hedge 150 Yards away, power set to the lowest of 4.5x. Dont tell Harry, but I'd just dropped a bunny from 140y, the bullet only drops an inch at this range so aim 1" high, and 2" to the right to compensate for the right to left crosswind and bingo. Click on picture to get a proper size.

      Certainly can, there are people with .50 BMG's out there... Only for target though, they cant really be justified for pest control or hunting lol!

      You wont get anything full auto, other than airsoft, even semi auto's were banned other than small caliber .22 rimfire rifles.:(

      You could get a straight pull M4 for range use though:).

        Ah a BSA, I've got a Hornet with a Leupold 3-9x40

        I've got a few target air rifles.
        I used to do HFT competitions before my back went (Hence the Leup on the BSA).
        Used to shoot for Quarry Hunters in Blackwood, great club.
        I guess I should sell them but I'm reluctant to.
        Rapid 7, AA ProTargetTH, AA TX200SR (recoilless springer), few others
        I dunno, maybe I'll get into FT one day.
        I loved HFT but my back won't stand the yomping.

        I was a member of the local rifle club as well for a while but I didn't keep it up.
        I loved firing the black powder pistols at the range, Clint style . :D
        The FAC members would let me have a go on their guns while I was training for FAC.
        44 Winchester, gallery gun they call it. Some gallery!!!

        I'm jealous of you having a farm to shoot on. It's getting harder and harder to get somewhere to shoot these days.

            shooting

            Hi guys..,

            I was until recently into target shooting big time.... I was a member of a local club and i can second the comment about how safe these clubs are to...!

            I did FT shooting with full power air rifles.. I had an Airarms MPR-FT c/w Bushnell scope... Deadly acurate out to 50m. I was putting .177 pellets through the same hole even with wind... Great fun and a great hobby.. The shooting clubs and people you meet are amongst the most friendly and grouded decent folk you will meet anywhere..!

            I sold my rifle to get into helis and a change of hobby, but i still have 2 pistols which i shoot regularly.... I can recomend this sport to anyone... With target shooting you dont kill anything and if done at a club you are garenteed to make new friends as well......

              Gave up my FAC a few years back before the nanny state rendered my guns worthless.

              Only got a Shotgun licence now and a Rapid 7 :(

                Problem there is that women often make very good shooters and may fire back. ;)

                  Nice collection! Yes thats a BSA scorpion T10 (.177), I also have a Gunpower shadow in .22, and a few air pistols, my brother has a Bsa Super 10 (.177) and an old Gamo CFX he started with.

                  There like tools, they all have their different uses:)

                  My FAC still allows me to buy a .22LR, there are a few nice looking semi autos coming from Germany this Autumn which I'm waiting for ! I will also be picking up a Mossberg 500 (Hushpower) 12 Guage shotgun at the same time:D Cant wait, its all fun... but expensive!

                    I used to have a pair of Rapid 7s, .22 and .177, then my dumbass mate got the 177 stolen from his truck when he walked his dog. :(
                    Still got the 22, lovely little mover.

                    Super 10 is nice. I started with a 22 S10. One of our best shots in HFT used a long barrel 177 S10 to win the league a few years back. It's all electronic triggers these days, bur hey that's progress.

                        Oh don't worry. He paid for the loss. It was just a nice gun that's all. Shame to lose it to some scroat.

                          I used own a few air rifles.. 6 of them between 15 to 21.. but I grew out of it and sold them all. Now I'm just left with a Walther CP88.. I dont use it but I keep it, as it was my late fathers and it was one off the few things we used to do together when I was younger.

                            What did you have please? The handgun ban was way back in the early 90's was it:confused: Still legal on the Isle of Man though, but take some getting hold of... Unless you could justify humane dispatch you'd need to spend lots of hours at the range I believe.

                            I'd hate to give up my FAC and hope I never have to:(!
