  1. As above. In 3XL. It has been worn once but is as new. It measures 26ins across the chest and 33ins down the back. The photo looks olive green but in reality it's more a pine green. Looking for £60 inc. postage. Thanks WR.
  2. As above. It's a 3XL and measures 25ins across the chest and 33ins down the back. It's as new, unworn. I'm looking for £45 inc postage. I'll also throw in a Pro One cap foc. Also unworn. Thanks WR.
  3. Evening All, I'm having to make space and I'm therefore selling all my Deer/Stalking books. 52 books and 64 magazines. All are in good condition for their relevant age and I'd like to sell them as a complete set. They're priced at well under half their current retail price. I'm looking for £560. Due to the weight I can't post but would happily deliver or meet up in the north of england. Please find the list attached. Many thanks WR.
  4. Six 12 bore Teague invector plus titanium chokes for sale. All in very good condition and for sale as a complete set only. (No case, just tubes.) 2 x Skeet 2 x 3/8ths 2 x 5/8ths (one is marked 5/8th-3/4? Teague taper key included. £250 inc. postage. Retail price £462. WR.
  5. Check your extended picatinny is zero moa. It should be stamped on the side. If it isn't, you probably have it on the wrong way around. ie.sloping the wrong way. You shouldn't need to shim a wraith. WR.
  6. Having tried to stay neutral on the subject I now feel we've been placed on a slippery slope from which we cannot return. Our organisations seemed to have gone the way of the rest of society where to be seen to be doing the "right" thing trumps actual facts and common sense. What is behind all this? The need to shift all the pheasants we over produce? There's an easier way of curing that. 20% of shoots currently produce 80% of the pheasants. Do they seriously think there's millions of potential customers out there being put off by lead shot? Seriously! Is it environmentally driven? If so, why is it species specific? Is lead fired at a clay pigeon less poisonous? Or is it just a case of being seen to be doing something. I see the rush that the younger shooting generation have to embrace anything considered woke, alternative or trendy regardless of the consequences. Merrily posting their environmental credentials on youtube via their chinese smart phones. In 10-15 years time the same flawed studies will declare that wildlife is still being poisoned. Nasty shooters aren't complying. Shooting banned and we'll be blamed for it. Well done BASC etc. WR.
  7. What he had to say can't be argued with. If a multi national like coca cola can't crack the problem then what chance does a niche company like Gamebore have? Coca cola will certainly have tried as it would be a huge selling point for them. The future has to be steel/plas if the industry has any chance of survival. Once a total ban is in, claygrounds that are fibre will have to allow plastic and charge more or organise wad picking days. No one at grass roots will pay £360 a thou for degradable alternatives. WR.
  8. Throughout this I have remained fairly neutral on BASC's stance re.lead shot but reading the current BASC magazine the sheer unadulterated joy over steel shot doesn't sit well with me. Bill Harriman states he is delighted he no longer has to throw a deadly poison all over the countryside! Several times it states the ban is for environmental reasons amongst others. If that is the case, what does it matter what it was fired at? That is the stance WJ will take and an all out ban will ensue. What are the current plas/lead free alternatives for clay shooting? Eley Eco wads at £330 a thou. To me, the life blood of all shotgun shooting is the smaller sunday fibre wad shoots. The working class lads who attend these shoots will effectively be priced out of the sport and younger generations lost. Making an already niche sport even less popular. Can you imagine the big flush shoots or sim days with eco wads. We'd be knee deep in them. Degradable or not. They won't sit well with farmers. The associations are treading very dodgy ground and a dangerous precedent is about to be set. WR.
  9. Free house inc. bills Free vehicle inc. bills Free tweeds, waterproofs, dog food, bullets, cartridges, boots and mobile phone. Good private pension and wage. 16 thousand acres to shoot over everyday. Earnt through grafting my **** off as a teenager when all my mates were out on the lash! WR.
  10. I guessed I'd done something wrong! Many thanks Zapp. WR.
  11. Yeah it used to. God knows what I've done to it. Hopefully admin will put me right. WR.
  12. I seem to have lost the ability to message other forum members. There's no envelope icon visible anymore. Is it only visible on the desktop version? I can't see anything in settings to change it. I messaged admin but got no response. WR.
  13. There is a poster on this forum who quite clearly doesn't understand what we do as a fieldsports fraternity and takes every opportunity to stir up division amongst us. Constant digs, constant negativity. His hatred of anyone with more money than him shines through. The poor lad can't even afford full stops! No doubt he will be seething at this as well and bang out another incoherent response to keep the venom going. Are trolls allowed on this board? WR.
