  1. I've got a Nikko Stirling Platinum Night Eater 6 - 24 x 56. I love it. Does everything i want of a scope.
  2. You could try Here i,ve bought a couple of traps in the past from him quick delivery. Rimmy
  3. This happened to me a couple of days ago, i have proberly fired about 250 shots witout cleaning the Sak mod on my CZ 17 hmr, i fired and hit a crow about 60 yards out. Less than second later a hiss and smoke from the mod lasting maybe a second or just under. At this point i stopped shooting went back to my pick up and stripped the action and mod checked the barrel but nothing seemed any different . I fired a couple of test shots and everthing is working fine. But it did scare the **** out of me
  4. What a great offer from you, you do the sport proud. I would love to have a day with you, but i live just about as far away as you can on the mainland from in you Cornwall. Have a great day.
  5. To be honest money is not a issue within reason £150.00 tops, but if i spend that much will it make that much difference to the Sak i already have. I shoot a lot from my pick up, making the barrel length less could be handy, so one of the ones that shrouds the barrel could be good.
  6. Can't beat your own livestock, best roast chilcken you can get
  7. I sure this must of been done before but here goes I am going to get a new sound moderator for my CZ 17 HMR. Are there any test avalible for which is best? Wildcat, MD80, SAK. Your views.
  8. My CZ has got the 16" barrel, there seems to be no difference in accuracy of mine or my friends 20" (i think its 20)
  9. Thanks for the scope and a very quick delivery. Its on my CZ hmr zeroing it tomorrow.
  10. My heart felt THANKS seems not enough by a long way, i have given up not alot, a few mins to write this, you guys and girls on the other hand give up so much more, even more at this time of year.

  17. I started shooting at about 8 with an air rifle, moved on to a 410 at 10, from the age of 12 i was shooting on my own. This was a long time so may be things have changed, but i have always found that younger people with guns are not stupid with them as long as the safety basics were installed early on.
  18. Thursday morning this week i was on my way back from our local farm supply shop with my brother where i got a couple of sacks of pig food for my Christmas Porkers. Driving past one field we spotted a cattle feed ring turned over so it was like a big wheel i slowed the truck down and under the feed ring was a bullock. We stopped the truck to check out the animal, it was half way through the side bars with its hips trapped and both legs at a very dodgy angle. So had to get in there to try and free it. Unfortunitly the feed ring had not been moooved around the field so it was in very deep mud. In we waded knee deep, i had my very nice trainers on and my brother his walking boots, we were dressed not in our work clothes just kind of normal. Try was we might despite falling several times we could not free it. So i decided to find the farmer, this ment a walk of about 20 yards through the mud, somewhere in this walk i became seperated from one of my trainers. I got back to my truck and drove the half mile to the farmers house. I was met by a old man who had not long had a hip replacement. I explained the problem and where it was, it indeed was his bullock. He said he would follow me in his tractor. He got into a tractor proberly the same age as him . When we got to the field i was already of the opion that he could do nothing, but he tried and got himself stuck, thats him not the tractor. It was at this point we decided to call the emergency services. I got back to the feed ring and took my brothers place he was taking the weight of the ring of the back of the bullock. The other problem for the bullock was when he put his head down it sank below the mud. The farmer with help from my brother got out of the mud. 10 Mins later the firemen arrived, they are a local force so i knew most of them, you may be able to imagine the p*** take at the state we were in. With in a couple of moments the firemen cut the feeder with the jaws of life and we got the bullock out. We then spent the best part of a hour trying to get it back on its feet. The vet arrived and thought it was totaly exausted and very cold. We had put a tarp over it to keep the wind and rain off it. No one new how long it had been like this it could have neen most of the night, the vet thought he was just about ready to give up and die. In the end we got it on a low loader and put it in a barn to warm. Realy good news the fireman with a powerfull hose cleared some of the mud away and we found my trainer. When we finished we all got sprayed down to clear us of as much mud as possible. We all were minging. Today Saturday i popped back to the farm to see how the bullock was. He is recovering moving about but very stiff. As the farmer said we saved it because he would not of been to that field until later in the afternoon. Even better news i now have permission on the whole farm including walking the hedgerows for a few pheasants. What goes around comes around.
  19. Most of my shoots don't want to bother with paperwork, they are farmers with better things to do with their time. I used to worry about this but speaking to some other older shooters they have nothing on paper for any of their shoots including their rough shoot where they release about 250 pheasants.
  20. Thanks Ciderboy the gun is everything you said and a very quick delivery . My boy is going to be over the moon. Thanks again Rimfire
