  1. 🙄 I’m assuming other comments are over the medalists heritage. Fact that they are widely known, sold as, registered and exist as the browning medalist I’m not sure what you expect it to be advertised as?! It’s a good reliable solid budget gun at a fair budget price advertised as it is very commonly known as and would’ve been sold as as new. I’m not scamming anyone nor pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes it is registered with firearms department as a browning and always was/is /will be known to be one.

    Cracking gun shops at Tumby (Derek Lees) and Wragby (Forest Lodge Guns) and a superb cartridge dealer near Alford (Coppins).

    Brilliant pub with superb food at Conningsby (The Leagate Inn). Recently changed hands and they have really turned the place around. Tuesday pie night is really worth a visit. A large pie with excellent chips and gravy for two to share £25. The Moo and Blue (steak and Stilton) is superb. It is also very dog friendly.

    Sounds like some great advice I’ll look forward to trying both the pubs and the gun shops! Thanks for the info

    Got Ya! only yanking your chain, had you worried for a mo! never been there in my life. Good luck with the new house and move 👍

    You ******! Nearly had a bloody heart attack searching frantically for whatever you were on about! Every cloud though- I've now scoured through every gypsie and traveller headline in Lincolnshire and none effect the house haha so thanks?!? Get yourself out shooting something and leave us panicky folk alone! Good one though fair play.

    It's a lovely place, lots of chicken farms and Typhoon jets over the top from RAF Coningsby.

    Yes we had a lovely flyover from half the RAF when we viewed it! Great to hear its as nice as we found it- so difficult from being out of area and only getting few hours at a time there to try figure it out cant beat local knowledge and opinion.

    AHH, good old Keal Cotes, used to be lovely place to stay then the travelling community  moved into Stickford and now everything that isnt bolted down walks. Get yourself into the Coach House for your weekly fix of all sorts of drugs and loose women. All in all, a lovely wee place.

    Really? Just looking into this and the gyppos appear at nearest in stickney which is a little further away than stickford? Is this a recent description or based from a while ago please feel free to message me to elaborate? Seemed a really quiet little hamlet/village?! editing having looked up recent (year ago) reviews for the pub you mention all 5* quiet lovely pub reviews? Possibly it went downhill then came back up in standards again since you visited?

  5. Evening all, I am currently going through purchasing a property in Lincolnshire just south of the wolds (small place called Keal Cotes if anyone has any advice on that lol)and wondered if there are many members from here around that area? Maybe we could organise a meet up at a clay shoot somewhere nearby for a round and a cuppa once I'm up there as be good to meet some new local people. Looks to be a small shoot right outside what will be my door judging by the cover crop so hopefully will meet some good sporting folk when I move from miserable Buckinghmashire haha 

  6. many thanks for the replies it looks a decent bet- im not sure which the guns are E I or B but im guessing E looking at the price. I had no idea all the other "Brands" were made by the rizzinis though so that was an education and sounds like either or should result in a decent purchase for the price. Ive looked up and the place we are headed tomorrow to look has 3 of these makes showing as available so she can look at each one after the other and hopefully one will fit well enough! 

  7. Hi guys, I am looking at buying a little 20bore O/U as a starter gun for the other half- she had a go at the cpsa stand at the game fair and did rather well (using the rizzini 20bore there hence my thinking ) and as such I am looking at a cheap (think approx 200-300 quid here) gun for her to learn clay shooting. So....i have found a couple of tidyish looking used rizzini in the very small budget just wondering if anyone has experience positive or negatives on these budget guns? Im not expecting anything groundbreaking for the money just a safe reliable useable gun to get her going. Also considered KOFS ATA, used lanber used lincoln all around similar money rizzini current front runner because i know it fitted to some extent!

    All comments welcome and appreciated!

  8. So just had a bit of a nightmare. My pup was left wondering about the garden (which is all normal) but she’s somehow got hold of a live pigeon! She’s 6months old but yet to move onto cold game retrieves. The pigeon can’t of been in her control for more than a minute or two and was still very much alive when taken off the dog but she had definitely “played” with it. What do you guys think? Will this have done her any harm longterm? Probably panicking over nothing but you know what it’s like! 

    Thanks

    This is the Red List. If you have anything on the list breeding near you then it is justifiable that they can be killed to conserve a bird on the Red List

    Song Thrush

    House Sparrow

    Tree Sparrow

    Starling

    Wood Warbler

    I  have all of those regularly nesting nearby.

    Never knew fieldfare were red list! I’m well covered with residential lapwing, skylark, fieldfare, starling, both sparrows and a few more 👌🏼But handy to have the applicable species clear in your minds in case it ever got questioned 👍🏼

    Enjoyed that :) nice viewing without the music :) are you using shotkam and a go pro? 

     

    What choke and carts you using? Some nice long ones :) 

    thanks, I am indeed using both-it gets a bit cluttered in the hide on a busy day with batteries and cables and remembering to press record 🙄 but i think the different viewpoints achievable are worth the hassle. chokes are 3/4 in both cartridges (let me get my tin hat) are lyalvale pigeon power 29g 6 and gamebore velocity 28g 7 1/2s

    Just Watched on YT and commented 👍

    appreciate mate. I laughed at the comment- nearly every video I've put up (all with music) received comments not liking it so tried it without just to see I think it really is a 50/50 audience so cant please everyone all the time. thanks for watching and if you haven't already check out my others (music aplenty in them haha)

  12. Something to remind us of the good warm days we enjoyed even in this year! Shot a day over wheat stubble in the sunshine and heat of summer where it all came together for a cracking day. The flightlines stayed busy-hectic at times and i even managed to hit a few! also meet my new team member at the end of the video! hope you are all keeping well and enjoy the video!
