  2. i dont no if all sillouets have it or not but my one says 452 american on the side of the action i would have thought it would be the same? im assuming your stock is to suita .17hmr?
  3. has anybody updated the stockon there cz 452 american? if so is there anybody out there who would be willing to sell the original american stock (asuming it will fit my shillouet .17 hmr) thanks in advance.
  4. has anybody purchased any thing from midway USA what is the delivery time like and is it expensive? i ask this because quite a lot of the products are cheeper than midway uk
  5. 5.6x61 vom hofe super express sounds interesting
  6. as long as its shooting acuratluy dont touch it
  7. im a scottish gamekeeper through the winter somtimes a lot of hinds have to be culled often to longer ranges eg. 200-280 yards. but on the rare ocasion that a beast is wounded if out of range is re stalked and shot again no stalker in his right mind would atempt a shot at a beast at a thousand yards its ******* insane. its things like that that give us a bad name! the ocaisonal wounded beast has been shot at 400 yards as a last resort where its not possible to get closer to it. only last week i had a lend of a clients range finder and mesured a stone at 244 yards and beleve me it looked a lot further than that. i think a lot of people have no real idea how far a thousand yards is on the hill. what idiot shoots a beast a kilometer away. that statment alone is enough to put me of shepherd scopes. labrador. ps. most if not all the scottish stalkers including myself use s&b, swarovski or zeiss. i never herd of shepherd until recently
  8. what type of rifle and scope do yo use
  9. dont want to sound like im from a different plannet but, what was the lockerbie bombing? all i know is that this scumbag killed lots of inocent people
  10. i have noticed an increse in people using .222s again and why not, its very acurate, pretty flat shooting and and about as quiete as you can make a centerfire rifle its a bit like 28 bore shotguns a few years ago nobody bothered with them all it took was people to start using it and now loads of people shoot them
  11. im looking at a sako vixen in .222, it obviously isnt a new rifle im not bothered if the stock is scratched i will re-oil it. the action and trigger will nodoubt be pretty good being sako(i can clean them up and re blue if i need to. whats bothering me is the possible condition of the barrel i dont own a bore scope how can i check that the bore is ok. i wouldent be two bothered if i had to re-barrel after a few hundred rounds but at the moment i cant aford to. can you give me any advice on the bore and is there anything else i should look out for with this rifle thanks in advance

  17. im a gamekeeper and i need a new shotgun what hard wearing shotguns would you recomend me preferably an over and under with 3 inch chambers i got rid of a lanber field because it didnt fit me it needs to be hard wearing suitable for general pest control, a day out at the dens and can put up with jumping in and out of the landy or the argo all day what would you recomend
