[CZ455 with Factory or Custom barrel .22 or .17hmr WHICH?]

Nothing wrong with trying a few things out to see if any improvements can be had

[Magpies and rabbits]

Well done Jay - keep hitting those magpies.

Thanks Gordon

[Magpies and rabbits]

Nice shooting pal... Do you have to have it conditioned on your licence to shoot ground game and vermin with a center fire?

Yeah I can shoot vermin with .223 and my 7mm rem mag is any lawful quarry so could use that too if I wanted too

[Blueing Ruger 10/22 Stainless Barrel]

I've got a stainless 10/22 never found the shiny barrel to be a problem

[Buying a River Cruiser...any hints and tips from owners]

 

 

 

The boat I am being drawn towards has done France and Holland.

 

The Channel is daunting for a novice and not something I fancy at all, but the boat is set up with ship to shore, sat nav, navigation lights, echo sounder, compass etc.

 

I know about the radio licence and I will not be heading across the channel until I get a lot more experience/knowledge/certificates, if ever, but who knows...........

Having done the channel on a ship the sheer amount of traffic is mind boggling from French fishing boats trawling straight across your path to little coaster cargo ships zipping about and hundreds at any time on your radar of big commercial cargo ships and ferries I think you would have to know what your doing to want to cross in a 40 year old boat of unknown strength and a tiny radar signature. That said it would be an adventure

[FAC waiting times]

Initial grant was less than a month but have since had a variation take over 6 months for no reason

[Couple of woodpeckers]

Beautiful pics

[Magpies and rabbits]

Been out a couple of times in the last few days with my mate mike. The first picture is some rabbits taken off the local golf course all off sticks ranges between about 20yrds out to just over 100yrds. Rifle is cz 452 varmint in hmr

Second pic is a few rabbits taken by mike today only went out to zero his .243 really so i took my .223 to spot for him. you can see one behind the rifle and one just in front these were both about 145yrds. Rifle is a steyr ssg69 in .243

I shot two magpies one after the other today too at about 150yrds you can see one by the rifle one just through the wire. Rifle is a cam in .223

[New Ruger 10-22]

Enjoy it, my 10-22 comes out more than any of my other guns lately

[.221 Fireball info?]

I wouldn't bother seems to be no gains for the hassle involved, however that said if you want one then go for it

[Fluted or not??]

I've got fluted barrels on three of my rifles and whilst I can't say the cool any quicker for sure they do look better and any weight saving is usually a good thing too. Not very helpful I know

[Impressive scope]

For a few hundred quid falcon scopes are well worth a look

[Heavy barrel .17]

I've got a standard barrel hmr and my mates got the varmint barrel on his, both shoot the same. Just get whichever you prefer the look of

[Ziess Classic Diavari range]

I've got a 3-12 diavari v and its awesome in all light conditions, I'm sure you will be suitably impressed

[.22 Hornet compared to 17HMR]

Didn't basc say that fox could be taken as vermin fairly recently? I'm sure I read it in the magazine. So if you've for vermin conditions it fine

[Meat Saw - Where to buy?]

I use a folding gerber saw does the job well

[Folding .410 bag]

[First fox with the HMR]

It happens - don't fret about it!

Put it down to experience!

Couldn't agree more

[First Day Out With The Old Girl]

Good luck

[.243 rifle and mod recommendations]

I run Tikkas and Rem 700.

 

Get either, my choice would be Tikka, for one reason only, the magazine/floor plate, much prefer magazines.

 

 

The Remington he's looking at is the drop mag version

[Bedding job]

Looks good

[fed up to the back teath]

Chin up mate I know it's rough but always try and remember that there's alway people somewhere that would give up limbs to be having your bad day rather than there's
