  1. I don’t care how old or which model these guns are, they are up there with the best self loaders on the market. Bargain. Good luck with the sale.
  2. Awful awful news. I sincerely wish her a full and complete recovery. ******* cancer, it’s like a ******* plague.
  3. An ad’ just popped up on tv regarding Richmond sausages, so being the sad sac I am I googled the pork content. They meet the least meat content allowable for a sausage to be classed as such, which is 42%.
  4. Yeah, he’s a genuinely nice bloke. Indeed. Hopefully these cartridges will prevent any restrictions on what is a good little ground. 👍
  5. No farmers I know planted winter barley as the ground was far too wet last year. They are pinning their hopes on spring barley as a result.
  6. No one wants to shoot .410. This…… ….and this.
  7. You’re right. Get in touch with your shooting representative and see what they suggest. Most medications give a list of ‘potential’ side effects as long as your arm. If this were a valid reason to refuse then taking paracetamol must be up there too. Whatever you do, don’t tell them you like a drink! Bonkers!
  8. This is a small shooting ground on the Cumbrian West coast which I have mentioned on here before. It’s a great, friendly little ground but has recently had complaints about noise. The owner told us this was pending when there the other week. As a result the owner got in touch with Gamebore and asked what they could suggest. This is a 1350fps clay cartridge with a very fast burning powder which apparently produces no ‘crack’ at distance. Grand. 👍
  9. Makes you wonder why we bother then if that’s the case. Cant say it’s ever happened to me, but I wonder what the reaction would be if we made as many cock ups as they? Have only ever had one ‘reference number’ as I usually inform them by letter.
  10. Personally I don’t see what difference it makes nor the point really. It will be removed at next renewal anyhow as long as licensing has been informed as per the rules. 🤷‍♂️
  11. They are to sausages what Bernard Matthews Turkey drummers were to Turkeys….gross. Saying that, when younger I would gladly eat both.
  12. That’s how long Cumbria licensing authority took to process my 1 4 1 variation for a S1 shotgun! More than happy with that. 👍 Thats more like it; well done Cumbria.
  13. If this is indeed the case then there’s something very wrong in my opinion. So which is it? The police want the records from birth or they don’t actually see them, but the GP wants to read them all before signing the pro forma? And again, if the former is the case, then why not request copies of your entire medical history and then simply give that to the Police? It costs nothing to see your medical history nor photograph it, which is what I did….the relevant parts anyhow. The police don’t need to know, nor is it any of their business, that someone was treated for piles or a STD. There’s something very wrong about this.
  14. Really? I’m not sure they are allowed to demand such a thing. Surely they can only demand to see those matters which are pertinent regarding SGC/FAC applications, otherwise you could simply nip into your surgery, ask for your entire medical history cards, photocopy them and send it to the rozzers for nothing more than the price of a stamp! Edited to add: Of course you will need to prove who you are, but that doesn’t entail a cost. I know because I’ve done it.

    Hilarious!

    Brilliant. There goes one of the best (and best looking ) PM’s we never had. 👍
  16. Scully

    Hilarious!

    Even more Embarrassing! 🤦‍♂️
  17. A nice example of a quality gun. 👍
  18. Scully

    Hilarious!

    I find that truly embarrassing! Quite rightly unashamed of her origins and heritage, but possibly not to the extent she wants to move back there?
  19. Scully

    Hilarious!

    It’s male or female intit? 😀
  20. Thanks again. It’s weird really, as I’ve played around with the comb height on the Benelli, after a really bad day with it last year I believed it was too low, and had a sight picture familiar to that of my trap guns which I shoot well with, but it didn’t transfer to the auto. I recently removed the comb raiser and put everything back to factory settings and didn’t miss a thing with it today! Bolting bunnies is a very quick reactive type of shooting, so the Benelli obviously once again fits me well! 🤷‍♂️ As always, it’s not the gun, chokes or cartridges, but the user. Have never tried it with a small bore, even when I owned a .410 pump, but it would certainly add interest to the day. 🙂One of the other lads who brings his ferrets uses a 20 bore Sable. I think if he and another mate had been there today there would have been many more rabbits; some of the burrows were substantial, and rabbits can run rings around a solitary ferret underground in those circumstances.
  21. Thank you. I totally agree, it is fabulous sport. A mate and me would spend many a happy hour sniping rabbits with a .22 on a summers evening, as well as lamping. Fortunately ( and fingers crossed it doesn’t ) RHD hasn’t reached our parts, and there is a plentiful supply of rabbits to go at, and I just picked up another permission this morning, where there are oodles of the things. You’re right, steel is more than capable, but I swapped to lead when I realised the steel I’d brought were a variety of lengths and I didn’t want to risk a stoppage as experience has taught me can happen when inconsistent lengths are mixed in a magazine. Cant say it’s happened with the Benelli, but has with other autos, and I didn’t want to take the risk.
