activeviii replied to njc110381's topic in General Shooting Matters
I have photos of head shot rabbit and head shot fox. both not pretty. the rabbit however had no meat damage. the shoulders were good and the curry was rather nice. can i put he photos up or are they a bit glorifying? -

2 screws though back of shield into the thick part of skull where antlers connect. 2 empty rifle cases, drill primer pocket out a use cases as spacers. works for me. i then make 2 pins out of brass. get the case the beast was shot with and load a bullet into it. driil two small holes in case and mount to shield. im not good enough to engrave the case or i would have.

aldi and lidl have sonic cleaners in from time to time. maplins have the sea clean 2 at half price at the moment.

They only reason i can think as to why they will not go into it as this moment in time is because of the area im in and what is going on here as from today. I tried to phone 5 different numbers that i have for people within the office and no one home it looks like. I have nothing to do with it though as i like my car and house to stay in one piece and not smell of burning.

I would be making a phone call. As you bought the unit in the UK from a shop then your warranty contract is with the UK company. it is not for you to have to foot the bill for it. If i buy a car from toyota and the thing gets rust within 10 years do i have to send it back to manufacturers in Japan? I think not, it will get taken back to point of purchase, unless the original place are being good and saying take it local.

jogging bottoms from soccer sports. get the long legs for £5, cut legs off and fix to gun with a elastic band at the top. no knocks in or out of cabinet. if your cabinet gets damp with carpet your stuck but with the covers its just a case of drying.

Well i think someone needs to speak to Gloucestershire. I have just had my FAC back after going in for a variation. with it was a letter from firearms licencing. It reads. Dear Mr ####### FIREARM ACTS 1968 TO 1997 I am writing concerning the inclusion of the wording'any other quarry' in the conditions for the permitted use of your arms. This is a matter that has come to the attention of the senior officers' within this Force and the decision has been made not to approve such requests at this time. There are issues I cannot go into in reaching this decision but I believe the decision may be subject to review at a future time but unfortunately I cannot be more specific. Yours sincerely Firearms Licensing. I have had AOLQ on my FAC for a long time but now im very restricted as to what i can shoot. 22lr and 17 hornet. vermin control 222 fox control 6.5 and 7x57r deer control. so now i can not shoot rabbit and muntjac with the 222 or Canada goose as their pest not vermin i cant shoot the squirrel, mink, goose with the 22 or hornet any smaller spices with the bigger rifles. I often shoot rabbit with the 6.5 if im heading back to the car and there are rabbits out, im asked to shoot them by the keeper and land owners, now i cant. Has anyone a list of the lawful species so i can itemise every single one that is lawful for each rifle and ask Glos firearms licencing to put every one on my FAC.

the one torch has a bigger sink pad and the max focal length was to much so I made a cup to sit in where the old sink pad was. Had to use thermal glue then true up on lathe.The other was also way off so made a new pill. Changed the driver and a red xpe led. Not my best typing. Trying to do this on my phone.lmao
-
That's as it came. I put in pocket for when I need white light to find this is.lol. It is standards. I did know the chip but I have forgotten. I will have a look on the list. I will have a measure as well but yes I think it was a 17mm single mode. Will strip tomorrow and take mesuements as I want to change to an ez900 if they ever turn up.

Since looking into the how's and what forms I have come up with a few different torches. All in red as that is all I use. I make my own custom pills. Now a drop in system as the torches I use are not field stripable. I have found that a darker red will cut your distance down but Charlie is not bothered by it. Many times they have walked straight towards me. I have two test foxes that I do not shoot. Their always about and my dogs will always chase so fox has reason not to like red lights but still pays no attention to the dark red. (I'm just waking my dogs. Nothing more) I use this one for spotting. 2 hours from 1 battery. The other I use has a massive throw. Not measured. I should really but its 400+ and eyes way way over that. Again its a custom pill and not changeable. I run it with a slitghly orange led. About 615nm. It takes two Barrie's and also lasts 2 hours. It sits on the scope. There is a.photo on here with it on the scope. I don't like tail wires. No need for the way I shoot of sticks and one hand is free to turn torch on. I was going to order more parts as a fair few friends want them. I can order extres but I will. Out advertise. Only on recommendations I think.
-
Quad sticks. Very easy and cheap to make. I should really put a post up on here on how to make.
-
but you can miss with any rifle so its the same for .308
-
believe it or not a 17hh does the same damage. lol
-
Its a cat. If it was fox then it would try in the gap in the corner
-
A Cree Z5 Or Z6 works well. slide zoom. not much more than a tenner with barriers and charger. I have changed the driver and chip in mine but as standards their good for 22lr distances or short HMR distance.
-
I wondered how long it would take someone. hehe.
-
He tried that one on me last year and the year before. No as their not game, i can always take them elsewhere. 'no, dont worry' he still takes them. 25/28 frozen/fresh. yes it does my head in. he gave me 35p end of last summer.

Look at the gut on that ugly beast........
