Knickers. That's not meant for you Chris, lol it's for fruity.

I have been out of it for a few years now, but still do a bit for local farmers when asked. I would avoid the super markets as i dont really think they are butchers, give half of them a body of beef to cut and they'll run a mile. Do you want to do it all, from slaughter to plate as in cut and prepare, what we used to call master butchers, or just carcuss preparation. You may find it hard to get into due to the lack of butchers around nowadays, but there are still a few propper butchers just few and far between. Best of luck i enjoyed it for many years, i dont miss the money though, its a shame the hours were long with little reward money wise, may be times have changed.

Ive not long finished my loads it amounts to around 200 x 22.250 75 x.30.06, 3 x 17HMR just for the egg shoot (wont need more mind you they are 3 of the best i've got) 2 just for practise and the last for the quail egg and a few 22lr. I should have a few home made sausages too not sure about the hold over for those yet as i have'nt done much on the range with them yet

Yes its a one for one, your RFD could just swap it, i would certianly have a look at the ASE utra, they are more expensive than the Sak x2 but will out last them by miles, so long term better value. If its for a HMR then i would definately go for the ASE as the saks burn out prety quick, i changed mine after only 12 months.

I think if your after a sly, cunning and very clever creature like a Fox there are times you need to arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible, not just a rifle and lamp. Getting to know the habits of both its hunting methods and habitats will increase your chances and IMO give you more respect for the Fox than just seeing it as something that needs to be killed because you want to.

"Cold Night's & Warm Barrels" Another good tip is read up on the natural history of Fox's, the more you know and understand them, or any other of your quarry the better. That goes for fishing too.. ;-)

While your at it,, if anyone is interested i have 60 Ltrs (approx), of 50/50 petrol and diesel mix, free, some body i know fluffed up filling there car.

This wants moving to the joke section.

I am glad I am not the only one with that feeling.

From going on your posts I think you get back to a push bike until you can understand the highway code a little better. And while your at it try and see if you can pass your cycling proficiency test.

why not just use a high seat, or just elevate your firing position so your firing into the earth it does not have to be that high. That to me seems the simplest of options

I take it the comment was refering to having a dig at PC's, If so then i am afraid they should allready be aware that a few jo public are out to make public any silly fluff ups that the police force make,regardless of how trivial some may see it. If they are not aware of this then they need briefing ASAP or go back to the training school. If not then, well you left it to assumption !!!

Just get some tarmac on it :thumbs: I've got a few numbers you can ring from up here. There cheap but do a crackin job

There's 1 in Burton aswell only 8 miles away "Livens" and Derby aint 2 miles away Sparkie, Garlands maybe. What supplies were you thinking of

PS, take legal advice and not from the PW jury, there are a few legal (thats qualified by the way) who frequent this forum but not all advice on this topic from us commoners will be in your best interest as all situations may be different from there own. And thats the best advice you will get. Its a great pity that matramonial law's dont work the same as criminal law in these cases

Its not a nice thing to have happen, my next door neighbours son (who lived there for a while) nicked my mower and a chop-saw, he did 9 months for it. He doesnt see me as much as he used to, i think he has made a good choice there... They normally return so be on your guard.

Seems like another "lets make it up as we go along" sort of thing that some areas or maybe individual FEO's are coming out with. I am also refering to the comment re free variation in 6 months

Looks good, but one i must ask again (i asked a while ago but the answer was a bit vague) Once you have a trap full of birds how do you dispatch them all

If your going to start shooting to see what the pattern is like then you must be prepared for some surprises. It will start you wondering if can ever hit a pigeon again.

I half agree with your oppinion,,,,but !!!! i did buy a rock mount thinking the very same, it is now just taking up room in a cupboard somewere, its like resting your rifle on drinking straws compared to the other makes i have. So in reality a waste of money.

Its the same as your looking at, the all weather laminate with the grey barrel, as for ammo, its hard to say they all seem to like different makes. I had a gamble on some Hornady at £8.50 a box and bought 1000 and the it likes them, i would find one it likes and try and buy the max you can from the same batch.#. I have done a little work on mine though, not hard to do just fully floated the barrel and change the trigger.

I have one and am very happy with it, the trigger is in need of an upgrade or change, cost is probably around £20 but well worth it, the magazine feed is very good but must keep dirt out of it or it sticks. All in all well made rifles,

I will try and get there, still on wonderful nights. I was going to load some for the 30.06 but have not had the time. I will put it in, but wont be there till the afternoon.

Tailgating is dangerous driving. But there is no specific law for this. And thats about it really !!!

What rifle are you using your not going to get big numbers, compared with a shot gun, but you have permision. So as long as you use your common sense as far as safe shooting goes i personaly dont see an issue.
