Apparently Win 9 was like Win 8 in spades with added slow layers. So Win 10 was a rebuild on Win 7.

Just out of interest, is a gun that is "off the face" out of proof?

Perhaps a dose of regular moor burning would reduce the risk of big fires and improve the situation for wildlife.

If you have to ask the answer is no.

Thank you John, but no twice is enough. Someone else needs to try next time. Looking forward to meeting up with you next season.
Best wishes,

The results were announced today. I didn't get onto council but if you voted for me thank you for your support.

I know this sounds weird but this can be caused by a dodgy brake light bulb/circuit. Worth a check.

I might have a pair of CZ (I think these fir Parker Hale as well) ones which take a 50mm objective. Which tube size?

There is still wildfowling on Anglesey. BASC will give you the contacts.

Here you go.

PS not much more time to vote for me for council.

And if you did that you could arrange shooting parties to get right up his nose!

Not my experience of a few clubs! I have always found people are very willing to help.

Well said John.

Certainly Albert Pierrepoint said that he didn't think he prevented a single murder. Make of that what you will.

All things being equal. Go for the one that feels best when you swing it. Trendy long barrels don't suit everybody's style and ballistically there really isn't anything in it.

bTB aside, there is a good reason for reducing the badger population. They do a huge amount of damage to ground nesting birds! This includes the RSPB's very own "iconic" Hen Harrier, though they won't admit to the problem.

AFAIK Browning han't had an Italian Connection for many years, the medallist which wasn't meant to be a Browning at all. BPS shotguns are made by MIroku in Japan and you can see it in the build quality.

Slightly sneaky Easter Bump please.

Keep an eye out in your local auctions. (Don't know why I tell people this it will put prices up for me) I got a pair of used but optically very good Leitz trinovid 10 x 40 for £28.
Lots of other stuff there as well. Saw some 8 x 40 Pentax in mint condition go for £35 the other day. (All prices don't include buyers premium whch varies.)

I think you should be careful about the legal problems of using an electronic caller for birds.

Thing is the mount height isn't just dependent on the objective diameter, barrel thickness at the position of the front bell, how high the bases for the mounts sit and also bolt clearance under the ocular all play a part. Even someone else's experience with the same rifle and scope will only be a guide because youe eye position will alter how far forward or back the scope sits.
I hope this helps.

I'm still here guys, years of fieldsports activity, although I can guarantee I would never call myself and expert in any of them. I do have a wide range of interests, all at the lower cost end of the spectrum. But I do know what it is like to beat in the freezing cold with the mud half-way up tall wellies, get out on the foreshore in an icy wind and stalk in hard conditions.
I really don't think negative campaigning is all that good a thing in the long run.

Great offer this. Chance to meet people and talk about taking up wildfowling. A great sport, if just a tiny bit tiring and uncomfortable at times but the challenge is wonderful.
