  1. the problem is when the barrel vibrates during bullet travel up the barrel (harmonincs)when it touches the stock it effects the natural movement of the barrel inconsistantly, therfore altering the POI with each shot, Well something like that by removing material from the stock you remove the problem, for a quick fix without removing any stock with sand paper use some thin material (plastic 35m film canister) to raise the stock slightly at the front point and see if it makes any difference
  2. Yes and when someone does, tell him i accept his appologie for ruining our weekend
  3. Dont forget that changing the barrel length may possibly mean changing bullet make aswell. It sounds you have found a good bullet/rifle combination, by changing the length of barrel you are in effect changing the rifle Velocity will be lost but it would probably go un noticed,and it willbe noisier I have the same issues with mine, but with about 850 bullets that group well at the moment i aint changing anything
  4. I would imagine its a 500wt halogen spot a rite pain i know, but they are expensive to run though
  5. P'd me self brill The teeth picture was the best
  6. I reckon you will only call the vixen's in though

    It hammered it down here, Burton staffs this morning and some rumbles too. Knocked a load of petals of the roses
  8. As most above, radio 1 on the rite day :yp: Called one in the other night, well sort of me, it should of been a rabbit in distress and ------- "shania Twain, Man i feel like a woman". came out instead she did the job though had to stop it at about 60yds- it was starting to get out of focus.Must have really liked the track
  9. PM reply to Hoogs sold thanks
  10. For sale Blacks Octane 1 tent, only been used twice, good condition very lightweight £50. can deliver at cost.
  11. There's a field only 100's of yards from me its been stripped by pigeons, it has had shoooters on there using subs only. Thats being considerate There's a chap who shoots it who has even bought a hushpower so he can still shoot the field without upsetting the folk who live close by. Kids camping in crop fields thats just being un-educated, i blame the parents.
  12. Then i think in that situation they would be gunning for you anyway, due to lack of consideration noise wise. I have dropped 12g cartridges on one of my permisions in fact thinking about it on 2, the landowner has given them back to me next time i was round and nothing said appart from "are these yours" Why stir up the manure, i can not see any point at all..
  13. Very expensive I have been going now for years (i missed the first 3 years its been going), camped for 4 of them.The first time i think a pitch was £35 plus your weekend entrance,the nightime entertainment was not bad at all the beer was a sensible price too. I camped last year £60 for the pitch then £26 each for entrance so £112 for the weekend before you spend any money in the show. Night time entertainment was a joke a little gazebo size tent thing for the group (**** too) 4 drinks for £17 AND the cheeky twonk checked my £20 note. You can guess i wont be camping again
  14. I think the culprit should be taken into the middle of a field and publicly stoned to death for doing such a dispicable thing. Or shall we first see if they had been left there by accident, maybe fell out of a pocket whilst taking a shot in the prone possition, We dont know any of us, some may think they know everything Assumptions are the mother of all what Pick them up, make it safe and discard them safely when you get home..

    I was given some good advice from someone years ago to use mono as a shock leader about 2 rod lengths. It saves ware on the eyes and consistant casting in particular whilst feeder fishing cuts through them prety quickly. Its also cheaper to replace the mono after a couple of days fishing. Used for drifter float fishing on big loughs its unbeatable for pike, also quick responses on the feeder rods for bream
  16. I/we watched my mother in law slowly pass away after a stroke, possibly 3 infact, they put her on what they call a "Liverpool" diet i have no idea were the name came from. But it was not a good sight believe me. they informed us that the body closes down bit by bit to the eventual end. I agree with Euthanasia in these circumstances for sure. I wish you all the most heartly wishes. It is a great relief when the last day on earth for them comes, i only wish there was a better way legally, and the morphine can be administered freely. Very sad.
  17. Try some village pubs that do meals, they may be interested
  18. I have seen (IMO) far too much meat damage using fast bullets from say a 243, compared to a 30 cal using 160 grn bullets for example. Which is one of the main reasons i went for a larger cal. We all have a choice to choose whatever cal we are lucky enough to be granted permision for. Hey! just imagine if we all had just the one choice be a boring forum would'nt it. We would all have the ultimate rifle for all occasions. But we dont
  19. Just out of interest to you guys who shoot 243, I have found the meat damage to be far greater than using a larger calibre,ie .30 for example. I can only assume its down to the bullet traveling slower. And as your shooting for the pot surely its got to be more profitable,less waste having less damage due to large ammount of bruising and blood clotts. :unsure: dougy
  20. That Picture crops up all over the place. I swear the picture of the 2 big pigs was shown in the last WI magazine we get through our letter box, In the lonely hearts section advertising for "Mature Women Home Help needed by hairy males" I should of left my camara back at the lodge
  21. Dont waste your money on scales, just use the weight from the container or if no info use the internet for the av weight. Check your setting on the combo chrono it sounds possible you have fluffed up on the set up.If that is all ok then see the shop that changed the seals and tell them to sort it out Get caught with it over the limit and you can kiss any future shooting hobby goodbye, so its worth getting it done by a pro
  22. Yes it does work I have tried loads of other methods too, this was years ago before i could read and write used to spend more time off school than actually at the place, used to fish for them aswell Got caught with a caty a few times by the game keeper in the woods, never got caught with any birds though Dad used to tell me to thank the chap that gave them to me
  23. Nice Tench My PB is only 5lb There's a pit near me that the Carp boys fish quite often, they get the Bream move in on there baited area and the muppets chuck them in the canal just a few yards behind them, thats if the fish are lucky, if there not they get dumped in the bushes. I despise that type of attitude from fishermen,. In my opinion they should have there tackle removed, and not just rods reels ect. If your fishing then you should be thankfull for the fish you catch whatever the species. Please dont take my comments as a knock at you though Mikee.
