    mew member from southampton/horsham area

    hi guys,
    just a quick hello really, always been into hunting and fishing since i was young. live in between Southampton and Portsmouth. but often up in Horsham as that's where the Mrs is from. i have a few permissions, but always on the look out for more, and like meeting like minded people with same interests. ill be looking to add a few more tools to my collection so i cant wait to have a look in the for sale section when im allowed. if any of you are on the aaoc then you may know of me.

    i have an airarms s410 carbine custom shop. in .22 with a Edgar brothers 4x16x50 optimate scope. Harris swivel bi-pod and led ray lamp. this makes the ultimate bunny bashing tool. but just recently me and my mate have been doing alot of pigeon and magpie decoying and its never let me down.

    currently its in about 50 pieces as its having a good clean and service and im polishing all the internals but i took the time to get you a few pictures.

    tom.

    Anything thats vermin mate! I dont own an air rifle any more , only ever shoot rimfires and shotguns .

    Having said that , Ive got permissions that are much better suited to air rifles over rimfires . Due to the location of livestock , houses and roads etc....

    Will need a little notice , as I tend to work most days , up to and including a 80+ hour week! But can arrange to be free most of the time , with a little notice!

    Talk again soon mate .

    Andy .

    Hello Tom.



    Welcome to the BBS.



    That sounds like a dream offer of the chance to go shooting from Mr Who.



    Good Luck.
