  4. Hello guys and girls. I have for sale my much loved Swarovski PVI-2 with the TDS-4I illuminated Reticle. With 6-24x50 magnification and a bullet drop compensating reticle it is accredited by many to be the best Foxing Scope. Crystal clear image by day and under the lamp even at 300y. Scope comes boxed and with all original extras including scope covers, sun shade, ballistic data, caps and batteries. Everything is in excellent condition and will be a delight to use foxing, deer stalking or rabbit shooting.

    £1150

    Pictures available on request.

    thanks for reading, Dave.

  5. I too shoot 39gr but Remington factory ammo. I haven't yet bothered to re-load as the factory rounds out shoot me. I've never had a round exit out of 62 foxes. I've had one runner ( 20m) and 2 splash wounds (fatal shots) all due to my poor shooting. but chest shots never fail. Atb Dave

  6. Hello mate. I would like to start by saying I absolutely love the .204 ruger. I've had .223 & .243 ar15, rem700, steyr ssg etc for foxing and last year traded my much loved steyr for a savage fcv in .204 ruger. It was the best CF rifle choice I have ever made. I found .243 too loud and sometimes overkill whilst foxing sub

    300m (95% of time). With a decent moderator I find my .204 only as loud as my .17hmr, there is no recoil to speak of so you can also watch your bullet strikes through the scope! The only draw back is you

    will need a deer rifle if necessary. To finish my rant I will say buy a .204 and you won't regret it. Make sure you get a rifle with 26" barrel to maximise velocity. I would also strongly recommend a savage FCV .5" 100m groups all day long. 1" @200m. I've shot 62 foxes out of 65 shots since last nov closest 58y furthest 286y and I'm no hot shot!

    Any questions fire away mate. Atb Dave.

  7. I've got the multi choke 20ga a good balance between .410 and 12ga quiet and great on rabbits. Some times I unscrew the can and fixings and shoot it like a normol 20ga pump. Very reliable worth every penny. Atb Dave

  8. we have both a quad and side by side on the estate. The quad is more fun (2005 honda 450) but the atv (2010 Yamaha Rhino 660) is far more useful, it will carry 2 adults, 200kg in the tipping buck and tow 500kg so for shooting and forestry work its great, with a winch its un stoppable! both do 45-50mph on the road but the tyres dont last long if its on the road lots. Not sure what your situation is but our vehicles are free tax as agricultural useage. Honda quads are reliable lasting forever but maybe a bit plain, there are so many brands on a flooded market right now you can afford to be picky just avoid chinese "Sack"a"****tys" like the plague. As for side by side ATV's i would avoid the diesel ones, 3cylinders 20mph and noisey as hell!! only bonus is fuel consumption. good luck, and like al4x said be careful as they are too easy to nick, an alarmed secure workshop, a rottweiler and my mrs keep ****** away!!

  9. Not sure on price but mine ran at 27ft lbs and was a beast! Very well made, heavy but quality easy to tune and very reliable. eat your wheatabix and enjoy!! Lol

  10. I believe The McCanns are so wrapped up in the media circus to take the spot light off of the fact that it is down to there neglect that Maddie was taken. I bet it helps them sleep at night pointing the finger elsewhere. One of the most publicised cases of abduction globally, I personally assume the worst about the poor nipper but considering the potential living hell she could have gone through i think the worst isn’t always the worst. Does Mrs M really think a book will assist the search for her daughter or just boost her P.R and her bank balance?? Of course I sympathise as a father myself but i also have a huge amount of anger towards them for the stupidity and selfishness.

  11. Like the other guys said, if you state that you need an open ticket to carryout regular pest control requests then it shouldn't be a problem. Show the feo that you are safe and clued up on trajectory, backstops etc etc and build his confidence in you. Good luck buddy. Dave

  12. I just recieved a 40mm red/green dot sight from JS Ramsbottom for £20 for my single 20g husher. Fitted it at lunchtime went for a little walk and rolled a fox at 20yards using it. 28grams of no6 at 1000 fps.

     

    The sight seems a bargain and even comes with flip up lens covers and spare batteries.

     

     

    Nice one mate sounds like a lucky mooch and a half!! It's interesting seeing people use different kit. Atb dave
