  1. I,ve got a remington 1100 , good buid quallity , built like a tank and never misses a beat . You get plenty of good second hand one for the money you are talking about . They make hatsans look like 'toy guns' when you compare them side by side!
  2. This may not be a popular opinion - but I think ALL 'guns' should be licensed as a FAC including air rifles , I feel that guns are not toys and you should have good reason to own one - many adults ( not all I know) who shoot air guns do so because they could not get a FAC - surely they should not be allowed to own ANY gun? As far as storage of SG carts goes yes it would be a bit of a pain to have to lock them in a cabinet but in reality its probably not the best thing to have 3 'bricks' of carts in our garages anyway! The way we will clean up our sport is to get the guns out of the hand of the idiots like the ones who turn their .22 into a AK47 look a like and the neds with £20 air rifles and give some credibility back to the law abiding sporting gun owner.
  3. I use a bushwear fixed hadle knife - about a fiver - razor sharp and cheap as chips
  4. Tru oil is not a varnish and does not go hard , to remove it without taking off the varnish beneath ( and any colour stain on the wood below the varnish) you need to use a non solvent based degreaser such as a citrus baseed hand cleaner.This is not going to be a quick job as the stuff is not designed to come off onece applied iven if applied to a varnished surface! If you had any areas where the varnish was missing the tru oil will have soaked in and you will have quite some dificulty removing this - if this is the case you would be best to do as some one said earlier and 'bite the bullet' and strip and sand back to clean bare wood and do the oil job properly. best of luck
  5. This is the sort of **** that will give all the antis what they need to atack the current gun laws . Shotguns are tools for hunting not toys for playing 'Cowboys' - these chaps should get a video game to play at killing the bad guys!
  6. Hi all - don’t normally get involved in the charity thing but I think raising awareness of prostate cancer is important so this time I’m joining in and donating my hairy face for the future of men’s health! My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I'm asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help, you can either: - Click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/767148/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account . Or, - Send cheques and CAF vouchers (made payable to 'The Prostate Cancer Charity Re Movember') directly to The Prostate Cancer Charity, First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London W6 0LE. Be sure to include the person's name on the back of the cheque. The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer. For more details on the impact Movember is having please visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs. Thank you in advance for helping me to support men's health. Buchangun
  7. The ****** who have been poaching deer at night up here will love subs in 243 - me I like a muffled bang at night to let the farmer know I've got another fox and as for deer shooting there's only my trusty sidekick and the mountain to hear it. Too much potential for skulduggery with subsonic .243 in my paranoid jingoistic opinion
  8. I think the bushwear £4.99 knife is one of the best knives I've had and at 10 times cheaper than some i've owned its amazing. The one I have now I planned on changing it every season - 3 years on its still razor sharp and going strong even after regular weekly use.
  9. Heres my Landy - late series 3 od , parrabolics, 2.25 petrol - used every week as my shooting truck and goes up on to the high mountains regularly
  10. The sailburry axle was fitted to 'long' wheel base landrovers so they will need a number of mods to make them fit a SWB. As said in a previous post you will have to have your propshaft shortened and also the spring mounts will have to moved inboard as they sit further out on a LWB. Sailsburrys are stronger axles favoured by the more extreme off roaders but the coversion is not a bolt off/ bolt on one and if you get the prop shaft shortening wrong you'll be reminded of it every time you go for a drive. The easier option in my opinion is to get a replacement axle off a SWB from a scrap yard and stick with the original set up. This option also saves any problems in diffences in brake setup too as you could get the replacement complete with back plates hubs etc.
  11. I think you get what you pay for with sticks - and yes I've been through the using garden sticks, canes ect phase but now use a 3 leg set of 'Bogpods' . The dont clater together , you set the height then use them as a walking staff and because of the pivoting heady you can track a moving deer before the shot. They are rock solid and have taken some good long shots off them and for open ground stalking I cant see past them. I am amazed that most shooters don't bad an eyelid at paying £100+ for a harris bipod but seem to opt for the cheapest shooting stick available and can't work out why they shoot badly!
  12. I had this happen to my CZ 22lr - what had happened is the wood work had been removed and when re assembled the trigger pin that the triger blade piviots on slipped to the right and out of its housing slightly on one side . All looked ok and the trigger did not feel loose but the releaseing of the saftey created enough movement to slip the sear and let the gun off. 5 mins at the gunsmith put it right - it has never done it since.
