You could buy my Weihrauch-Theoben, hunter-carbine, break barrel, .22 silenced with Golden Antler scope & lamping kit. Lovely rifle but I never get to use it any more  :(

Send me some details and prices, and lots of piccies.  :y :y :y

Knives

They are tools aren't they - still have a sheaf knife from when I was a sprout - no idea where it is though.

I do keep a pen knife in the car - again tool, opening boxes, cutting tape - that sort of thing.

Basically if I need to chop a hose or similar I have a tool.

Out of all my tools the long bar I use with 1/2" drive sockets would be the beast weapon, but there is no legal issue with it at all, basically it all seems to be legislation for legislations sake.

Sharpest knife is a No.11 bladed modelling knife.

For target shooting get a .177 as the pellet is lighter it has a flatter trajectory and thus makes more sense for accuracy.  A .22 is my choice for hunting vermin for the stopping power, that said if the rifle had less than 9 ft/lb I would not use it for vermin at all whether with .177 or .22.

I have a Diana Model 50 which I rarely shoot anymore as it is considered an antique  :o

My target weapon of choice now is a H&K G3 7.62 (kicks like a rather elephant gun!)  Using iron sights I managed a 1" group at 200m just west of the bulls eye  8-)

Let me know what you get  :y
