i have had deer hunter, jahtijakt and prologic and so far i like prologic the best for warmth, dryness and comfort. the prologic jacket has a removeable fleece liner but unless another ice age comes i cant see me needing it
. never tried the rivers west stuff but it does look good. -
after having been out on 6 or 7 night flights and seen nothing i finaly hit it right last night, had two chances and got two birds with a nice long water retrieve for the dog

instead of heat try the opposite and but the barrels in the freezer, it worked for my mate who had the same trouble. he couldn't use heat because of the camo coating on the barrel.

does anyone on here have any loads or data (or thoughts even) for .223 using vectan sp7? i cant find anything on the www. my dealer has been down on the mainland on his hols and he took up some sp7 for me to try. cheers, aister.

i did try a box of the high velocity solids and they seemed to group fine, i have no complaints. my dealer has started stocking them too and they are cheaper than the winchesters.

if you havn't already, contact the BASC.

i have warne bases and rings on my a-bolt. leupold dont make bases for the .223 a-bolt i have!!!

i really like the prologic clothing, i have the salopettes and the thermo armour pro jacket and think a lot of it. got mine after keeping an eye going on ebay.

one word, brilliant. my shooting buddy bought one and it certainly pulls in the ducks. we have used it to great success in stubble and on water.
:good: -
Winchester subs aren't waxy.
i bought 500 winchester subs about a month ago and they were stiff to extract, when i looked closely they were waxy with the hollow point full of wax.

does any one have a fore end for a franchi 48/AL-12Ga-hunter. mine has split from end to end.
-
i give it a spray with gun oil as soon as i strip the gun and clean that bit last with wire wool, leaving it seems to soften it up a bit.

Hunter balmoral neoprene
Muck boot co. Do some good ones aswell

i have had bushnell, simmons, richter optics, niko sterling, schmidt and bender and leupold, and the best scope out of that lot imo is the leupold. the schmidt and bender was great but expensive. i have the vx-1 3-9x40 on my 30-06 and a vx-1 4-12x40 on my 223 and i am keeping my eye going for a fixed power leupold fx-11 6x36 for my .22 to replace the bushnell thats on it just now. as dekers said earlier, scopes are about as personal as it gets in shooting and this is just my opinion on scopes.

i have had two rusty old guns that were used for wildfowling and i had them both shotblasted and powder coated and never had problems with rust again

Sounds like a good deal to me!
I suspect that is the arm on the end of the bolt not being located in a little cup that sits inside the butt of the gun. Shine a torch in and you will see it. You just need to guide it back in if it comes out.
i checked and it wasnt that, i have a feeling it was sand/grit in the pipe where the cup goes down on a spring (if that makes sense).

i own an sx3 field and it has been back to winchester 3 times. one of the times it was the piston spring had broken and they replaced the piston the other 2 times was the bolt wouldn't pull back after it had been fired, i sent it away and it came back fixed both times but i still dont know what was wrong or what they had to do to fix it :unsure: . having said that i would still have another one. i think they are great guns, very light but low on the recoil. i wildfowl with mine and it gets some pretty rough treatment what with the weather, salt spray and dogs climbing over it etc, but if i keep it clean it always cycles.

my mate has the diamond model, i have used it a few times and i have to say i think its a great value for money gun, well finished and it seemed to be balanced well for me. if it fits go for it, no point in having a £6000 perazzi, for example, if it dont fit. just my humble opinion.

thanks for the input guys, might put in for a variation shortly.
i will keep you posted.

my wife has washed my prologic jacket more than once in the last few months and it is still water proof, no problems with it at all
