  1. It is a steal but then what goea around comes around. I have been lucky in the past and found a few bargains so I return it in karma. It's the way I have always done things. As to your earlier private message nic. It's yours
  2. This has been in my workshop/shed for 12 years and before that in an upholsterer's workshop and used on timber. this one is very heavy, standing about a meter high i think it is 12 speed. 0.55kw motor Morse taper 2. ratchet, windup bet and tilting its never let me down in all the time i have owned it. its old but works and needs picking up by someone that can lift it. i cant!. Im in Gloucester and £50 for a quick sale. All the best Phil
  3. Nothing for the pigeons around here yet, few places with peas but the barley needs a couple weeks more yet. Most of the land around here is shot over already, I know a good number of guns around here and there is very little left, normally its left because it's short on flight lines and scares on birds. I use to take people out off here but lessons learnt and I take no one now other than the group I already shoot with. It's taken me over 30 years to get the permissions I have and a few years back I lost a couple because so!some thought they could go and shoot land without me. Farmer kicked him and his father off and phoned me to give me boot too. As said hard won, easy lost. Good luck with your quest.
  4. I do very much like the look of it steve, i looked at it at one of the shows last year, however, i have one i made a few years ago but now i have stumbled upon plans for the slot together bench thats made from one sheet of 25mm marine ply. just need to find time to make it now.
  5. I will be in just the same place tomorrow. best place on the range is firing point 0 on severnside.
  6. Looks a little short on the back end Steve. Looks ideal for a bit of plinking but not sure about bench rest
  7. I think the question has been answered for the OP. just waiting for the people with tickets for both trying to sell or give away the stoneleigh tickets
  8. I went with a fabarm axis with 32" barrles and then added a Jim spalding recoil system I ended up about 16.5" then Nigel Teague cast the stock to fit. The extra length on the barrels have balanced the looks and the handling of the shotgun. Just a shame I stil can't hit the target
  9. 22lr. Just run it with subsonic rounds and you'll be fine. Shooting out to 100 meters with some practice and time shooting. 243 will be fine for fallow and smaller but expect some meat damage. You can load 55gn bullets for fox as well so like the 223 but faster and flatter. Then load 100gn for the deer.
  10. Just to give an idea. I bought one of the bresser ones 5 years ago. Last year it started to play up, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Aldi warrenty was up so I sent bresser an email. A week later they arranged collection, 2 weeks after that they had sent me an updated, black light game camera and an apology for bad standards. Don't know who this one at aldi is made by but I will take a punt.
  11. Go to also online. Under the special buys. Outdoor and garden. Find the camera. Click buy it. Pay for it and job done
  12. You can order on line now and free postage. Save trying to get on instore Penny short of 70
  13. easy top tell the line as the boundary runs from front of house, right down to the end. they replaced the front earlier this year as her old fence was shot. at the end of the garden hers runs 30 meter more. when the hedge went at the end they put up a new fence there. when you look down the line from front to back you can see my fence is over on my side. there is no arguing it, just trying to get it through to her without causing to much grief. she talks to no one around here. sticks her nose up as she drives by. if your out front when she comes home she will sit in her truck waiting for you to not look and then scurried into the house.
  14. i think i have now found the answers i need. all day on google. fence is on my land, its mine, i erected it, but the boundary, where her hedge was, is still hers. law, as far as i can see, says she must retain her live stock/pets but does not have to put up a boundary fence. but, turns out, she is not allowed to touch the fence in any way as it is criminal damage. its all my fence. so, my best thing is to go and have a chat, get my face chewed off by her and then with luck, leave the fence there and let her manage the new boundary. as she had a hedge there the she can not say that enough time has elapsed for the boundary to have moved by adverse possession. so its either my fence and she has painted it Essex red cedar and i will left her know i will be repainting it to a more suitable colour. blue/yellow/red strips. or she can agree to take over the new boundary as hers and she has to maintain it. did i say im very scared of my neighbour. i think she eats children and has a broom
  15. i think i have read somewhere that as i put up the fence many years ago it would be for me to take care of it but, as there was a hedge on the other side that only just has been removed then i dont know where i stand. that the bit im trying to work out so there is no surprises if she goes to move one day
  16. yes that is one option, 90" with 6" posts and 15 years old is not the best. would be happy is i could just say the now the hedge has gone that they carry on with the boundary maintenance but legally i dont know if i can.
  17. having a bit of an issue here so after som input from them in the know, not from people that think they know.lol right. 21 years ago we moved into a new build house. the right side is my fence to maintain, left side, older house with a hawthorn hedge is the home on left to deal with. when we moved in the hedge on left was 3 foot high and very sparse, they had a german shepherd that was alway trying to push his way into our garden and none stop barking. couldn't go in the garden without the dog making itself known. after trying to talk nicely to next door neighbour we gave up as it fell on deaf ears. so, as wood back then was free i made 90 foot of 2foot tall picket fencing and installed on the base of hedge. this was now sorted and the dog couldn't get at me or wife so safe garden after this the neighbour stopped cutting the hedge like they use to. before it was every few months and then it ended up once a year. my side was now 4 foot into garden and every time i went cut it they would say they would do it. anyway. in the end my parents would come and cut the hedge as mum was always up for a fight. we never touched the top, just our side of the hedge. over the years we had children, they wanted to be out side playing but after a few occasions of having blackthorn in bare feet we stopped them going that side of the garden. then they had bikes which i was always fixing punchers and balls that went flat. by now the hedge is 8 foot high and a mess. so i had a chat with the guy next door and i mentioned about the problems and would it offend him if i put a 6 foot fence along the hedge line to help with my issues. no problem and he said then that the center of hedge was the boundary line. turned out he was very approachable but he and the women were having problems, soon after i finish the 6foot of shiplap fencing, which i paid for and put the posts against the hedge with the good looking side facing me, he had moved out of the house and it was just her. well, many years past, she never spoke, went out the way not to speak so we left her to it. then a new guy moved in how was ok to talk to, she even had the odd conversation too, so things were looking up. took the odd parcel in for her, even looked after the place while they went on holiday. she even had me shooting her horse paddock to thin the rabbits. things where ok. not like the other neighbour but life worked. couple years on her chap moved out but thing still ok, then she had new neighbours on other side and they had 4 kids, this is when it change again, just silly things like park her truck up to the edge of her wall, on the road, just to make it hard for the other couple to get on and off their drive. bearing in mind my neighbour had a 4 car drive with no cars on it. well, still with me? now, a couple years ago another chap came and stayed a few nights here and there, then disappeared and then 6 months ago came back. turns out he has his own play 20 miles away so stops a few nights then, as a general builder, goes back home and does a few days work. 6 weeks ago he starts cutting the hedge out, all gone. starts sorting her garden for her. then we come home one day to find my armoured cable that ran on the back of the fence, all on my land. is now under the fence by a foot or so. snapped a few shurbs up so it was pushed under with some force. next thing they have painted the other side of the fence, no to much a problem, saves me doing it. nice bright ceder color running down the light brown of my side. so, heres my problem. fence is on my land by 1foot. not to worried about that. hedge has now gone and she it treating the fence as the boundary. not to worried about that. fence went up 15 years ago. hedge came down 6 weeks ago. im happy to lose the land, dont care about the cost of fencing. what i do care about is hows boundary line is it now. how looks after the fence line now the hedge has gone i know the fence will not last with the winds we get. she looses a couple of fence panels a year up the front of house. so leaglly, where do i stand. i deally it works if she just takes over the boundary fence and maintenance, after all, on hers and my deeds it will say its hers but she is the stubborn type that will say my fence for me to deal with. i don't want my dogs meeting her new terriers also bear in mind she is not approachable now and if i can get away without rocking the bot then all good and well. sorry its a long read but i think full story is needed.

  21. i think you should be using 52gn A-Max, ok they blow up if you drive them fast enough but go slow and they will be fine, or just run them flat out and head shoot it. not much meat on a muntjack anyway so waste of when there is by heart shots. plus the hearts good eating.

  25. oh ******, pair of tweezers and glasses should soon have i all back in the pot. almost as bad as picking the wrong tube up and emptying the thrower into it then realising its the wrong, full tube that you just bought and put in cupboard. made a nice display in the garden so a little while.
