  1. Yes but it's often the case that they are even when it says that so thought I'd ask. Novice
  2. Can the member selling this identify themselves if possible? Cheers Novice
  3. I was up that way last month and while I saw quite a few parties of greylags feeding in fields up and down the coast, no-one seemed to be bothering them. Not many duck about though.
  4. You will definitely be able to get a Swarovski, most likely a variable, for that budget.
  5. I'd suggest a roe or sika in winter coat have some similarities. Given the location I'd suggest a roe. Novice
  6. Is there a possibility it was a roe deer in winter coat? They're creeping into that area. Did it have any visible antlers? Novice
  7. The federal powershok 100g in the blue box are well worth a try.
  8. Pulsar Recon 870, boxed with all accessories, case, box and paperwork (including warranty documents). Mint condition, just not getting used. £200 posted
  9. I had a similar experience with a 1-for-1 variation. After the events of last year they are taking the opportunity for a full file review on everyone who sends anything in, rather than just dealing with what is requested. I understand a couple of CID lads are heading things up. In short, workloads have increased massively but staff levels haven't.
  10. Does anyone have any experience of the Heym SR40 rifle? Any comments, good or bad? Many thanks
  11. Sent a couple of pms. Hopefully they've got through. Cheers Novice
  12. Thanks for the suggestion, I may well give that a go. Fingers crossed I get a shot or two after all this 😊
  13. Managed to get some of the gamebore so will hold the hull back in reserve, although if we get through the 50 gamebore we'll have had some day! Thanks for the input. Novice
  14. First dibs please. I'll pm you. Novice
  15. If the carcass showed a neat entry and exit with little evidence of expansion then it's entirely possible that it was hit with a softpoint designed for larger game, which failed to expand. Had it myself, to the point where I've started using dedicated foxing ammo for lamping. Robert Bucknall has a photo of a Fox shot broadside, with the round passing through without expanding, which was shot again days later, still alive and mobile. Had very similar myself but Fox shot a couple of minutes after initial shot. Fox could have been shot on neighbouring ground and made it onto yours before succumbing. Novice
  16. My understanding,all though can't quote the exact legislation off the top of my head, is that mechanical aids are illegal to use in the pursuit of wildfowl. I'd imagine a magnet would fall into the definition. Novice
  17. My local shop stock hull steel game 32g 4s, so I've bought a couple of boxes. Anyone experienced these cartridges? Novice
  18. Can anyone direct me to an instructional vid, or give me some pointers, on stripping a Stevens pumper? I'd like to give it some tlc but don't want to turn up at my local gunsmith with a bag of parts and an embarrassed look on my face! Novice
  19. And the world of the working terrier 😃
  20. I'll have "the real workers" please. I'll send a pm. Novice And the Darcy book please. Novice
  21. That's interesting, so roughly comparable to lead? Novice
