  1. A few of Poppy 3 weeks 5 Months 6Months
  2. T8AR on my .223 Designed for the job and no problems! Perfect for in and out of vehicle. Shorter than standard T8. +£200 though!
  3. Very good rifle, mine is the varmint. I use 55gr federal ballistics through it. Not cheap but very good. Zeroed at 200yds.
  4. Sprayed off some of our rape today, roughly 2 weeks to harvest! Barley ready just need some sun....
  5. We seem to have a lot of pigeons about in the old newton area, just as many as in past years. They are just harder to decoy around our area due to the abundance of rape about, over 250acres all on fields next to each other. We are constantly scaring large flocks of our fields in the morning and also in the evening as they are on there way back to roost. The past 2 weekends they have been roost shooting in my neighbours 60acre great wood and 3 or 4 smaller woods around it and i have heard plenty of bangs but have no idea on the numbers shot.
  6. The girlfriend was looking for a Scottish Terrier dog this time last year due to the death of her previous one. She found some pups for sale that were in the Newcastle area if I remember rightly. She called to enquire and got a very foreign sounding women who said the puppies weren’t actually with them there but were in the isle of man. She also gave nearly the exact same waffle/questions and that they would need all the same details as you have been asked for. Needless to say she put the phone down and went somewhere else.
  7. Bobs got one, used it and seemed to do a decent job! His is like the one on solway! http://www.solwayfeeders.com/products/solway-dry-plucker-p6600-c147.html Will try and get up to see you now drilling is getting done! Will be intouch.
  8. should be able to make it no probs!!
  9. Ill be going one of the days i would have thought!
  10. This is a very good offer on a very well organised shoot! I have been beater on this shoot since FB started it 3 years ago so needless to say i will be one of the beaters on the day this year so would be good to meet a few others of here!
  11. Looks Good!! Maybe room for one more next year
  12. Had a driven day on a local farm today with 63 bag in total, i managed 4 pheasants and 2 partridge. On another tomorow at another friends farm. This first week of the new year is when i get most of my driven shooting days then again at end of january when the beaters days come up.
  13. They had a few 410's in the shop all around £125 mark but nothing that i was really looking for! Not as easy to find as i thought either.
  14. Cheers! Should have noticed it there before!! Martin i never win anything unless im against SS
  15. Can anyone tell me where in the magazine it says who wins each month?? Read it from cover to cover and cant find it anywhere!
  16. I can remember both barrels fired together only once when shauny b was using it, and yup it did occasionaly chuck the live cartridge out, aswell as or instead off the fired one but in general the gun was good. It pointed nicely and had lovely engraving and wood on it. Not sure if it was only my gun that had the ejecting problems or wether it is universal on all bettinsoli's but i would buy another at the right price as it handled so nicely. FB, you too thought it was a nice gun if i remember correctly?
  17. Had a Silverline, sold it for a 686. It was a lovely gun which i shot well with for a couple of years then started missing everything so traded it in, but that wasnt no fault of the guns!! Wouldnt hesitate to buy another.
  18. manchurians certainly did fly well and are a pretty bird!!
  19. I went jap! Toyota corolla are good, ive got a standard 02 reg 1.4 corolla. Got it as my first car over 2 years ago and had nothing go wrong and it also shifts fairly well to. I love pulling alongside the saxo VTR's and clios with body kits galore and leaving them behind!! Civic or Golf are also very good cars but i personaly would keep clear of Renault, Fiat, Vauxhall etc just from what friends have said about experiences with them. As teal said, its worth paying that little bit more!!
  20. You're right, anyone that well turned out and well physically toned must be puff! Looks like a good day. He wasn't looking quite like that at the end, after having to walk all the way back to the yard even after the last drive had finished as nobody picked him up. Must be over a mile across sticky wet boot clinging fields. Poor chap. I blame it on the keeper not looking after his beaters enough!!! Was a great day, looking forward to the next.
