I don't shoot 243 anymore as now have 6.5 x55 swede but I did have a real accurate load for 100gr Sierra Gamekings in 243 using 42.5grns Viht 160 and cci 200primers. Great round for fallow and Roe.

It looks like it will fit, do you have your mates number or should I sort through you?

what size objectives does it fit as I have a 8x56 scope. Kind regards

Its 640x480, 2.5-10x mag, it fits on a piccanny rail. It hasn't been updated but can get this done before sale. I'm not sure if there is any warranted left on it as it was offered to me in exchange for a spotter that played up and thats all the dealer had to offer. It was brand new when I got it a year ago but its never been on the rifle as only ever wanted just a spotter.

Selling my Thermal Rifle scope,bought 6 months ago but never got around to putting it onto a rifle, its in mint condition and need to sell for a new project. £2300 ono.

Hi mate, Would you take £800 posted but would like to see some photo's first, whats the reason you are selling it and does it have warranty. Kind regards Redgum

The dark engine black sun Ir does make a big difference to clarity and range, I think the irs are about £96 but I bought mine with the pard as a special deal price. The torch is light and easy to use. The pard was with me quite quickly but I had to wait for the ir .

My mate has been helping me with the boar, he has a nightmaster with red pill on top of his rifle and even at 70yds the pigs are not easy to pick up. Not sure if its just all the mud but the boar seem to have a coat that absorbs the light.

Hi all, difficult times and hope your all managing to cope, bit bored so thought I would add this. I've had a bit of problem with boar lately in my locality and have been ask to try and sort them out. The boar are out at night so I needed something to strap on my 308 that was effective and not to expensive. I did a bit of searching and came up with the Pard nv, some bad, some good reviews. Well I bit the bullet as to speak and swapped an expensive bit of glass with an old Nikon Monarch I had knocking around( this scope was always up somewhere near the more expensive stuff anyway). The reason for the swap was that I had read IR really only works with side parallax. Clive Ward nightvision had a deal on with the pard and ir so went for that. It took a bit of setting up, not difficult but just getting used to really and I must say its a brilliant bit of kit for the money. As an add on it does sit back toward your eye but I solved this with a leather stock extension off one of my shot guns. There's no recoil issue as the eye piece on the pard is well thought out and with a moderated 308 I found having my eye right on the eye piece was no problem. zeroing was no problem, zeroed the rifle with the new scope, fitted the pard and tested and bang on no problem. In action it worked really well, the in built ir on the pard is enough to see boar out to over 100yds ( I had set up to shoot at around 70yds), the add on dark engine black sun IR really improves range and clarity. Two shots later and two dead boar, have included a photo of the latest one.

Yes I mean Percussion, so far so good for both trousers and jacket, plus the jackets are very well cut.

I had a ridgeline jacket a few years back, I did loose a lot of weight . I had a nice surprise this year, I wanted a cheapish lightweight stalking jacket and bought a make I had never heard of before, Precision. I got caught in some serious rain an it stayed lovely and dry plus the sweat doesn't drip out of my sleeves.

Update on Perkin knives, ordered a flat grind d2 steel hunting knife, communication was good as I had to change delivery address as had to be signed for by an over 18 year old on arrival. The knife was beautifully made with inlays on the handle, my own concern was the blade, it didn't have the taper I would expect from a flat grind and the secondary bevel was quite steep (mainly due to the thick blade), it also looked just to shiny ( if that makes sense) almost chrome like rather than steel. It wasn't overly sharp so was expecting a bit of work to get a good edge but surprisingly the edge became sharp quickly. This didn't really make any sense so I ran the blade lightly over a piece of pine, it dulled extremely quickly, this was not what I had expected. It did look nice but not a lot of good for me in the field. Perkin had enclosed a slip to say to contact them with any problems and they offer a one year refund guarantee, I emailed them and they were prompt and courteous asking me what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to return it for a refund. I returned the knife and they promptly refunded my payment back to PayPal. £66 for a hand made knife is cheap so I guess or you get what you pay for, I don't know enough about metal to say if it was just a bad batch of metal or just had not been tempered correctly. I think it would be fair to say that the knives are not hand made in the UK and they do mention this in their advert somewhere but their service is excellent and they stand by their product, would I use them again, well if I ever wanted a cheap Damascus blade then maybe, they do have many positive reviews.

They have facility for Paypal and they are pretty good at settling any dispute, eg not what it says on the packet etc, think I will take the plunge as the fixed blades seem to have good reviews but apparently the pocket knives suffer from poor mechanics. Plunge taken and will do a review on the knife.

What do you use it for? I may take a chance on a Perkin knife just for its looks, you can never be sure where any knife metal comes from, was thinking about getting a outdoor edge swingblade but apparently that's Chinese stainless ( if you believe the tinternet) and doesn't keep a good edge. I do have the outdoor edge razor pro which has disposable blades, haven't changed the blade yet as sharpens up real well, you just have to make sure you remove the blade and clean it well each time you grallock otherwise the disposable gets stuck with the blood. Does a fallow nicely and as a folder it goes on your belt tidy, just like a bigger fix blade for bleeding and doing pigs.

Trouble is now the children have left home and the wife would probably allow me to buy and Emberleaf I'm to darn forgetful to warrant owning one.
