Scottish airgun ban - Petition
19 Jun 2009 - 8:52 AM - by Greylag
Hello All,

Get signing this petition if possible to help stave off let another threat to our liberties. Details are below the link is here

Petition to: deny scots gun law. | Number10.gov.uk

"The Calman Report recommends that The Scottish Parliament should be handed control of airgun legislation in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament will undoubtedly use this power to place a ban on unlicensed airguns in Scotland. This measure harms the legitimate sporting shooter and fails to address the real problem; that caused by unlawful use of airguns. Criminal use of airguns by its nature cannot be legislated against by removing airguns from those who abide by the law.
We believe that this ban will have an adverse effect on legitimate sporting shooting, and will provide no deterrent to those who misuse airguns. The Labour Party's own 'Charter for Shooting' (2005)... [Read More]

CLA Gamefair ...Three great days at Blenheim
31 Jul 2008 - 9:12 PM - by Gazo
This year’s Game Fair is a summer smash hit as thousands descend on Blenheim
On the hottest weekend of the year, The CLA Game Fair, held at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire on 25 to 27 July, proved a massive success as organisers reported a record attendance that boasted royalty and politicians as well as numerous celebrities and public figures. The attendance figure of 151,000 smashed all records. Saturday was the busiest day with crowds increasing by 8,000 or so on Friday’s numbers.

A delighted CLA fair organiser, Fiona Eastman, told Shooting Times: “I’m sure a lot of this success was to do with the unfortunate cancellation of last year’s Game Fair, but Blenheim is also a truly popular location and of course the weather was simply fantastic for all three days. Throughout the whole event everyone was just so happy to be at the fair. Exhibitors in all areas did very buoyant business.”

Special guests at the fair included HRH The Duke of... [Read More]

Deadly dog parasite found in city
06 Jul 2008 - 1:10 PM - by Gazo
A parasite which can cause fatal illness in dogs has been found in Scotland for the first time, scientists have confirmed.
Experts said that the parasite Angiostrongylus vasorum, also known as the 'French heartworm', could be moving north because of climate change.
It is carried by slugs and snails which have increased in number in Scotland because of recent warm temperatures.
Vets in Glasgow recently treated a Weimaraner which had the parasite.
Signs that a dog is infected by the parasite include coughing, breathing difficulties and unexplained bleeding problems, including spontaneous bruising and bleeding into the eye.




It is thought the one-year-old dog became ill after swallowing a slug infected with the organism or eating grass with a fresh slug trail on it.
The parasite is normally found in south west England, but scientists said it could be moving northwards because of increasing temperatures.

Tikka .308 Lite T3 rifle test
28 Jun 2008 - 9:26 AM - by Gazo
This Tikka T3 .308 conforms to the same high standards as its predecessors.
This T3 comes factory threaded to accept sound moderators a great idea for the British market.

Bolt and action
Tikka T3 rifles now share one common action size. Tikka T3 rifles come as a long-action design, and the different calibres are catered for by changes to the magazine.

This gives a good strong action, but it can add unwanted weight to the rifles shooting smaller calibres. It also results in a longer than usual bolt travel. In reality it is no problem, and you hardly notice the extra travel needed on this .308 Winchester rifle.

The solid one-piece machined steel action has the characteristic Tikka integral scope rails of 17mm diameter running its full length and it is drilled and tapped if you wish to fit other bases.

I used the Opti-lok Sako/Tikka mounts in 30mm, as these have a polymer insert that does not mark... [Read More]

Pilot scheme to restrict sale of airguns in Scotland
28 Jun 2008 - 9:21 AM - by Gazo
Scottish justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, has asked the Home Secretary’s permission to carry out a pilot scheme restricting the sale of airguns in Scotland.
Scottish justice secretary Kenny MacAskill has asked the Home Secretary’s permission to carry out a pilot scheme restricting the sale of airguns in Scotland.

In a letter to home secretary Jacqui Smith, Mr MacAskill called for an overhaul of the 1968 Firearms Act, which would restrict the sale of airguns. Ms Smith has previously rejected Mr MacAskill’s call for a review of gun law.

Mr MacAskill said: “Any reformed firearms regime must incorporate stronger controls on airguns given that they are used in around half of all firearms offences. While Westminster has refused to consider transferring legislative responsibility for firearms to Scotland, they should allow us to pilot such reforms if they are unwilling or unable to proceed themselves at this stage.”
