Hi is this still for sale? thanks

Sorry for the delay, Scope is now Sold thank you.

Scope now Sold

Swarovski Habicht Nova 6x42 Ideal scope for woodland stalking, the light gathering at last light is superb, and has allowed me to account for many Foxes late on. There are a few little marks on the ocular tube which could easily be covered, and the odd blemish on the bell, both of which are covered with Butler Creek covers (included). The lenses are in perfect condition. Looking for £275 including posting.

Bump and a price drop to £275

The Mrs bought me a pair a couple of Christmas's ago. I was unsure to start with, but I've got the leather topped ones and they are the comfiest footwear I own, in fact they are now my footwear of choice for everywhere inside the garden gate. The wife calls me a croc convert!! However I never wear them out of the gate, and never will.

If West Yorkshire had hemorrhoid's Bradford would be the first place to look. I had a colleague who's commute took him through Bradford, he took early retirement in part because he was fed up of cars doing 20mph on empty roads for no reason, and cars braking suddenly for no reason other than cash for crash scams. Driving standards are best described as questionable, some of it is due to a total lack of respect for the law in general but definitely road traffic law. Seat belts seem optional, mobile phone use whilst driving is the norm. Frequently the vehicle's capabilities out perform that of the the driver, and natural selection comes into play.

The local hospital has the same TV sets you mention but just as the hospital opened the tv company went bust. There are now all these little tv/telephone units on adjustable arms in every room over every bed and I don't think one of them works. I have had my elderly mother in this hospital several times with no tv available and no view. As the company went bust there are no plans to sort out the problems the only entertainment available is a small transistor radio or cd player that we took in for her. I do have to wonder what effect it has on the overall well being on the patients in terms of depression or dementia.

Just playing devils advocate, Police officers are arresting an individual who spits at them, this can transmit a variety of diseases to officer. Due to 'do gooders' protesting against the use of spit hoods, the options for a police officer who is being assaulted to ensure the safety of himself and others is now limited. Surely an alternative course of action needs to be used eg. taser or a swift kick in the crown jewels, that is about the only thing I can think of to stop someone spitting. Do I have a problem with spit hoods, or taser or cs spray? No because I conduct myself in such a way as to never be on the receiving end of any of them. I generally find that if you don't do anything unlawful and are civil when dealing with a constable you have nothing to fear.

or a .17hmr!

I think being that close to a buffalo you'd realise quite quickly that adrenaline is brown! Quality wise they are every bit as good as my Swarovski and Zeiss optics.

Yes it was Thursday I made it, (joys of shift work!) Friday looked a better day.

I Managed to make it to the Leica Experience at Diggle Rifle Range yesterday. The weather wasn't brilliant due to low cloud and fog, forcing the itinery to be adaptated accordingly so as to maximise the oppertunity to shoot. We started off firing the .416 Rigby at a static Buffalo target. The rifle was a thing of beauty fitted with a Leica Magnus 1-6.3 x 24 scope. Its probably the only time I'm likely to shoot such a rifle but although it has a massive recoil this is more of a shove than a violent kick, probably absorbed by the weight of the rifle but even though it was a heavy rifle it was well balanced so not a struggle to shoot from a standing position. As the weather allowed we moved onto the running boar range which was a first for me! Ive always shot moving targets with a shotgun but by keeping the scope on 1 x and keeping both eyes open it was relatively easy to transfer shotgun principles to the running boar. Here we had the choice of shooting either Sauer 404 or the Blaser R8 Professional both in .308 fitted with the Leica Magnus 1-6.3 x 24 scope. They even had left handed rifles available. I've fired a Blaser before and liked it, the straight pull for driven would be a great advantage for a second shot. The Sauer 404 is very similar to my 202 but I must admit I prefer the safety on the 202. Lunch in the form of a Hog roast was provided along with soft drinks and tea and coffee, which given the miserable weather was much welcomed. Finally the cloud lifted sufficiently to allow us to use the 600yds range and everybody got the chance to shoot out to 600 which was a first for me. But with the right kit even a mediocre shot like me can put rounds on target both with the .308 and the .338 Lapua. The day was organised and run by Simon and Selena Barr with support from Chris at Swillington Shooting Supplies, Hornady ammunition, Spartan Engineering - jeez them javelin bipods are light, John from Blaser, Can am quad bikes and rangers (used to give you a lift if needed), Rigby and Swazi. Simon and the range officers did an excellent job of keeping things going inspite of the weather. There was no hard sell by anyone just a short explanation on how the Leica Geovids work with the rangefinding and ballistics computer, with good anecdotal experience shared, on how they come into their own when shooting chamois and ibex etc. Swillington had some good deals on the Leica and swazi gear but no pressure to buy on the day. I believe they're planning on running more of these days in the future and I will definitley try to get to the next one.

****** I'm working again
