  1. The missus and I are off to King's Lynn Corn Exchange to see Kaleb next month. What a treat and so looking forward to an anti woke point of view. https://www.kingslynncornexchange.co.uk/theatre/whats-on/event/the-world-according-to-kaleb/
  2. Reminds me of yesteryear when some 12 bore guns were chambered for 2 inch cartridges only. Eley still make two inch carts 26g load in no.6
  3. Good luck with the sale. Very resonably priced. I shoot a M12 SCO which was three times the money back in the day.
  4. Horrible when a choke gets stuck. I've had this happen just twice. I solved one myself by sticking some WD 40 down the choke, the second one went off to the 'smith who warmed it up with a blow touch and out she popped with a little soft handling ! I followed his sage advice and now take the chokes out everytime i use these guns and wipe the choke and screw thread with Browning oil. Never had any trouble since. For me the moral of this tale is to clean them regularly or use fixed chokes saving the hassle. My three SxS guns have fixed chokes.
  5. Good luck Scully. Indicates how slow the market is at the moment but i'm sure it'll be gone shortly.
  6. Fantastic ! What a lovely example. Should fly out of the door at that price.
  7. Sold ! I think it was about 10 years ago. Turned it in to a clothes shop i'm told.
  8. Master Chief ! Careful or you'll get dragged in to work the Chelsea-on-Sea restaurants in Burnham Market
  9. Honey Buzzard at Swanton Novers (Norfolk) Four Bee-eaters at Trimingham (Norfolk)
  10. Happy birthday 91 is as good a bag of pigeon that i've heard of recently in Norfolk. Well done.
  11. The best pheasant load i ever used in 28 bore was the Bornhagi semimag , 24g of no 7. shot. I bought a slab from Just Cartridges a few years ago. I don't think they stock Bornhagi anymore.
  12. I think you ought to man up and at least fill in your location. Granted at least the Welsh see through the trees and know where their bread is buttered. Your last sentence is insulting sir. You are the sort who doesn't like home truths. Bitter and twisted. Typical Scot empathizer who dishes it up and doesn't appreciate southern retaliation. Put your cards on the table.
  13. Before QT even started last night I watched the news and felt bedraggled. Then it started and Fiona Bruce had some sort of grip on the imbeciles on the panel. Next up some debate on the taffs not having any new roads in their beloved lands, because they's prefer fancy lunches more than roads. United Kingdom ? All for the greater good......? Scotland and Wales can make their own way as far as i'm concerned. Fed up with the bitching and moaning about the English (the huge majority) dragging everything down to gutter level. Take your own taxes and revenues and Westminster shoulds keep English money from taxes . See how you get on in the land of independence. See if the EU will accept your great countries. Just do it ! Show your metal rather than keep sponging and run your own parliaments and live by your elected. These "debates" are nothing short of an embarrassment !
  14. Stonking gun for the money. Looks in lovely condition too. Non-ejectors can be an advantage when shooting from a hide, especially with a mate. I hope you sell this OP. It deserves to be used and loved.
  15. Great bins Leica. I bought the 7x42 in 1999. They've stood the test of time. The black 8x42's were my fathers and I inherited them when he passed away 8 years ago. I've shouldered plenty of newer models from other leader makers as well as newer Leica and honestly I haven't looked through any that I thought were optically better. Yes the newer models are a lot lighter in weight but for me this isn't a key consideration. To my mind optics aren't the sort of thing to be swapping in and changing for the sake of it. Very expensive thing to do with Binoculars. Buy once I say. This pair are 'keepers.
  16. I'm with you. They make them in 26g 28g and 30g. They come in a 65mm case and a very nice to shoot in old English game guns. Hit hard considering the light recoil.
  17. Good job Ditch but where is the Colmans mustard and the bangers?
  18. Very interested but I have the same Q is it a three and a half inch chamber . I live just outside Norwich so happy to collect subject to your answer. Many thanks,
  19. The only pigeons i've shot this month have been with a rifle. Birds flighting in under oak trees feeding on acorns. They're completely ignoring the rape at the moment.
  20. I'm a Linnets fan, born in KIng's Lynn.
  21. It's a very satisfying thing to do OF. I made this years ago (20 probably). Each year I take them down and clean them. If they don't get any nesting birds I change the aspect. If we paint them we do this very early usually end of Dec ot early Jan. The birds don't like a whiff of paint. This year the blue tits raised two hatches. It took me more time to photograph this one than to build the nest box !! Good luck.
  22. I'd bet a good few quid that Bird flu' has kiiled a lot more birds than ingested lead shot since the 'fowling ban. Most of the PW membership would expect such a "negative" comment from me as I absolutely hate the idea of moving away from using lead for shooting albeit in shotgun cartridges or bullet heads. This world is in a mess, not least the United Kingdom. When I look at where banning lead shot is in terms of it's importance it's about number 376 in the pecking order. Simples. Don't get used to the idea we're all doomed because this is not the case.
