Aye up Frenchie, i think £9.99 is a bit on the deer side, i got 2 Mora Stainless Steel for £13.50 at my local "springfields" store. Carbon steel is good but the down side is they will rust very easy, hence me getting the SS. My link check under knives and multi tools onthe left

Just a thought has anyone weighed there rifle lately. is 14lb heavy, i dont bother too much having to walk round with it. As long as its only to the truck

Safety glasses a must, I didnt used to but, hearing stories like this its made me ware them before i start using primers or powder,

try and vary the seating depth, see if that will pull in the group, thats assuming all other variations are in order, Mine didnt like Vmax, so now i only use Nosler, 50s

Did mine a couple of years ago, bungalo will only need 5mtr of SS flu max best to order it too long and be sure plus vermiculite poured around.(on a calm day) you will also need fastners for the ends of the flu large round jubilee type joby's and 1 fixing for the base.(get a mate to knock them up out of SS)Top end cement in place before the chinmey goes back on.then mortar round chimney using plenty of plastisizer,unibond, in the mix The flu was £25 a mtr and then fixings. being a bungalo i wouldnt bother with scaffolding just a crawl ladder should be ok.

Ok, you sell it get say 150,000 slap it in the bank and get a whopping 3% pa interest if your lucky, that will give you £5,000 give or take a few bob. Or spend it on premium bonds, and take a bit of a free gamble, and still have your money Or you rent it, get say £500 per month, £6,000 per year and still have the property, simples

There is quite allot of Mr Bucknel on You tube And have to agree "Foxing With Lamp and Rifle" is a good read

I agree with you on this,the council will always pay and its easier to get the money from them. the only down side would be if it was only short term rental due to the possible deteriation of the upkeep, and you were expecting to move back in, say after a year away. As somebody new into renting i would use an agent for peace of mind, but you will need to keep on top of them for a while or they will take the P. We use an agent and at first they didnt play ball and i got involved just a little now they are fine no problems. Just remember you are employing and paying them to do a job

this one came from cabelas and was £169, RRP over here about £210, you can get some around £50 but dont have infra red flash. I will get a couple of cheaper ones to cover other areas. Been out this morning to bait up with left over Xmas dinner and old pigeons from the freezer.

Had a call last week from Mr Farmer concerned about lambing time and the presence of Fox's again, So i thought i would save myself some time and set up the trail cam. I got some good results, its activly around between 08.00 - 09.00 / 13.30 - 15.00 and night time from 20.00 and 01.30. so i think i may choose the morning session, then i should be back for lunch I will see if its possible to sort the Vixen out first before much longer.

Have a search on the internet, i cant explain it any better !!! and i have to go shooting !!! As you said you dont reload, so i wont expect you to understand re powder burn rates ect.

If you were to use target amo for live quarry you will get allot of runners, some folk do use "A" max i have in the past, they do fragment. not designed to though as much as bullets designed for the shooting of live targets, ie hollow points or Ballistic tips or spitzers. I personaly would never use anything other than bullets intended for live shooting due to not killing effectivly.

Dekers i dont think you understood what i was tying to say, or maybe the way i put it across. baring in mind it was developed in the early 1900's allot of things have developed since then You can reduce the barrel ware down considerably by not using fast powders. These as i am sure you are aware burn allot hotter than the slower powder's. There doesnt have to be loss of velocity, for example you can achieve simalar velocities (3800fps)using 37.5grn of RL12 or 39grn of H380 behind a 50grn bullet but the H380 is a slower burning powder powder and according to facts you will have less throat erosion by using the slower powder. Throat erosion and cracking from heat are i would imagine are the 2 mains problems. Barrel ware will also be reduced on a match custom barrel due to the higher quality finish internaly.

Just be aware, once you have given your HMR a good cleaning be prepared to put a fair few through to get it back onto the Zero.If thats not the case then your lucky.

22.250 being barrel burners can nowadays can be avoided dramaticly. it doesnt have to be shooting at silly hot loads. The steel used in the making of barrels has improved greatly over the years so has the powder and primers. its very likely the the average shooter will get years of use from using a 22.250 the use of slow burning powders,not heating the barrel through firing too many too quickly,keeping velocity to a sensible speed and keeping the barrel clean will prolong barrel life.

nice going Pav Re glare;; try putting some insulation tape accross the bottom 1/2 -3/4 inch of the scope. i had the same problem went down the extended sunshade road. The tape sorted it out, oh ! and its a hell of allot cheaper wont cost you to try.

Heard just before christmas, brother's girl freinds brother had a bump on his bike: 2 broken ankles broken leg i think aswell broken pelvis broken wrists fractured skull (only slight)but a problem with a bleed on the brain plus other minor injuries, broken ribs resulting in a punctured lung. Ok not all people are mad on bikes and it will not always be the bike rider's at fault in a RTA. But to obviously intend on breaking the speed limits i think you deserve some of the comments. sorry

So if i dont use a rifle for some time and have to sell due to not using it often enough, who on here will lend me there's when i need one for Boar shooting, Anyone???

At the moment i would say Pick up, i say at the moment as they are still on comercial tax, you can chuck as muck poop in the back as you like and still have a reasonable standard of shall we say smell in the rest of the vehicle. You should get the MPG your after You should get a 2year old Hilux for that price

I should of checked the area well before i took the photo, it should not have been left in there, i must have forgot to put it away when i used it last, a good job i didnt get a visit :yp: Its a "Ultra short action doubled barrel shovel gun" i find it very usefull it close quarter's Yes its the Herald 8 with boiler

yep same here nice and warm just got in from the pub had a couple of beers, chucked a few cases in my new tumbler, i can just hear it humming away upstairs, then probably have forty in a bit

Ok then what shooting related presents has santa (or the Mrs) left you under the tree Me ! a case tumbler

Naaa Na Na Na Naaaa I started mine first I just commented directly after a freind of mine had his visit for a variation. in the morning

A price increase from £10 a year to £30 is a bit of a jump dont you think thats if its true of course. Yes i agree. but its the way in which these laws are inforced, say for example you dont use a certian rifle for whatever reason for say a couple of years,is it then seen by the FLO to be an excessive rifle in your collection therefore no longer needed ? 1 less rifle it may be someone who cant afford to go stalking as often as they would like, for whatever reason if the laws are enforced to get the amount of rifles owned by shooters down then i think its a law we would not like to be enforced. Its only speculation at the moment, we will have to wait and see.

The problem may be as post above, what is considered to be "lack" of use The FLO in question was not 1 that i have had dealings with personaly, but the comments were made, and came from somewere. I agree with your views with regards to "how many rounds" are considered to be fair reason. There is allot of speculation at the moment, we will have to wait and see what comes in the new year.
