Looking ahead to another great airgunning year, we round up a selection of NV kits to help you hunt 24/7 and test Walther’s latest Rotex, the RM8. For the pest controllers who are culling feral pigeons, check out our gearing up list for the right kit. Prepping your gear so you can make the most of it when you get out there, ready for a good session? Then turn to page 47 and learn how to make a DIY breech block – juggling to clean the barrel of your underlever is now a thing of the past with this clever homemade gadget! And, like Mat Manning, seize the moment, head out into the woodlands and take opportunities as they arise. Follow Ian Barnett on another instalment of his .20 trial, this time in a field scenario, with H&N Sport’s Baracuda, and check out how the Remington 1911RAC pistol fares in Nathan Kingsley’s garden test. The shoot-out this month opposes lightweight break-barrels from Spain and Germany: it’s the Cometa 220 v the Weihrauch HW99S… And fieldcraft skills take you through squirrel tailing. Remember a big date for your diary in February 2015: it’s the British Shooting Show, of course – now extended to three, action-packed days! We preview what you can look forward to. So, read on!
