It was probably pre scripted. Trump said he would end the war. Zelenskyy said he won’t give up any land. Zelensky can now give up land and save face saying he can’t possibly carry on. Trump said he ended the war and gets significant mineral deals. Putin gains some land and resources in that terrain. Everyone “wins” to some degree.

Introducing a dog to live firing?
Lloyd90 replied to Charlie Anderson's topic in Dogs and Dog Training
I start when they first come home but it’s a damn long time before they are having any sort of gun fired over them. General household noise … plates and pots clattering… metal dog bowls gently clashing building up over several weeks … associating the noise with a reward of feed time… However I’ll also research a pup well and be 110% sure it’s from strong working lines with BOTH parents doing the business. -

Having handled one of seemed very nice but I settled on using my 20b for walked up and similar rough shooting and have enjoyed it for that lovely. Standing on peg I am considering changing to a slightly heavier gun (sporter or even a 694 / Pro sport)…

Well said Gordon. I want to know which senior officer sent them out. With the pay and way they’re treated being so degraded year on year, you won’t get many people with life experience applying. Only people who are students or similar poorly paid backgrounds are going in now for a lot of the roles… anyone who’s properly worked and skilled doesn’t want the massive pay cut. Especially if you already own a house or have dependents.

Anyone used the Spartan head and adaptor? Do I just buy the Davros head and the below linked adaptor and it attaches to my current sling stud? Or unscrew the current stud and it screws into the same thread? Am I missing anything else? https://www.uttings.co.uk/p132479-spartan-classic-rifle-adaptor-sp02-01-r/?srsltid=AfmBOooCxptRuCNYMtOokuoJAny8_MvwhPvgMoIYCpGnK1-onuifd8_z

Lots of people bought an after market IR so they started offering it without. They now do a 4k version, with and without LRF. I’ve just bought a DNT zulus as significantly smaller and lighter.

Moorland fox control Alpex 4K Sako 75 6ppc.
Lloyd90 replied to simon6ppc's topic in Sporting Shooting Videos
How’s you like the Alpex 4k Simon? I almost bought one as sold my Alpex recently but I instead bought a DNT zulus. Significantly smaller, lighter, generally more compact setup, the LRF is neatly on the side as opposed to that ugly box sticking off the top of the scope. I see the new Alpex thermal has the LRF in the scope tube… wonder if they improve the Alpex 4k to do the same. -
Is there a chrono that will cover getting the bullet / pellet FPS for my air rifles, rip fires and centre fires all in?

No whisky sauce?

Provisionally sold.

Some slight residue from the mount of the IR similar to what’s left behind off tape. Leupold QD rings and additional pic rail not included.

Hik Alpex A50T with the factory IR and bracket. Great condition, only used handful of times on 17hmr and 223. Fantastic rifle for fox and vermin control. £400 posted, bank transfer only. Or collected from Bristol.

What to do with a misfired round?
Lloyd90 replied to BobbyH's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
I cut them open after resting for a long time, once cut open soak in a bucket of water so the powder and primed are never going to work and then bin them.
