    Alcohol

    I have not had a touch of alcohol at all in 7 years.No particular reason for it.I was a musician from the age of 17 to 23 so made the most of it when I could but stopped when I got into my career.Really fancied a beer the last few weeks for some reason.Alcohol cripples so many people and their families,seen it first hand but its all down to moderation I feel.May well be trying out a few new ales in the run up to Christmas!
  2. Husky over a Stihl.Electric will be fine for light use and firewood purposes.Check out a log grenade from Screwfix.Excellent bit of kit!
  3. Howa for me everytime.Spent the last few months trying new rifles out.I absolutely hate the Tikka synthetic stock but it does have a nice bolt action.The Howa stock is a little better for me but the upgrade to the Bell and Carlson is what made the deciding factor easier.Both will do what you need.Im sure after a month or so either will feel like old shoes.

    Ammo safe

    I use a Yale digital safe.35 quid.keep ammo from 22 up to 7mm rem mag with no issue from the police.
  5. Cheap cabinet needed.south Wales.thanks,tim
  6. Get the Schmidt!End of.
  7. Hi buddy.Just got myself a new 22.Did loads of homework and tried out loads of rifles.I ended up with a CZ varmint 16 inch barrel.I liked the idea of a CZ 455 that has the option of switching barrels.But after speaking to guys that really know their guns two rifles would be better.I actually preferred the fit and feel of my rifle over the Anschutz I tried.I liked the fit of the browning but it felt cheap to me.They all work though!CZ get my vote!T
  8. It can stay on the Deer gun for now.Would not fancy dragging that scope through any hedges or puddles!
  9. I use a 410 for squirrels,close rabbits and roosting birds.And recently started using a 20 bore.Hands down my favourite shotgun gauge.I think that a 20 is capable of everything my 12 bore did but is much lighter with less meat damage.Winner!I love the 410 for stalking the hedgerows though!
  10. Thought I was one of the only people that appreciated them.Nice to read others are impressed too!
  11. Will probably use the Hawke 3-9x40 mil dot I had on my last 22lr.Worked well for me.Was thinking about putting my Swarovski off my 308 on for the summer.Bit much though I think.
  12. Sunny South Wales.Very common on the Western end of the Brecon Beacons near me.
  13. Got me a new .22 after people's advice on here.Tried everything from CZ,Weirauch,Anschutz,Sako,Browning and a Volquartsen.But the gun I honestly felt most at home with was a CZ 452 varmint with a 16 inch barrel even though I was set on a 455 20 inch barrel.So thanks for all the help again guys!T
  14. Pretty common buddy.Much heavier set with bolder beaks.As well as crows and ravens you have jackdaws plus few others in the mix too.Ravens can be taught to speak pretty well too.Clever birds!
  15. Hi.Mine isnt an ejector.Are they all double trigger?Easily the most easy handling shotgun I have ever picked up.What cartridges do you use?Tim.
  16. Thanks guys!1/4 and 3/4 will suit me well!
  17. Well,how happy am I!Just taken ownership of a Gunmark Kestrel Sxs 20 bore.It was a freebie.Apart from a little bit of very light tarnish/rust on a section of the exterior barrel it's in very good condition!Am I correct in thinking that the ** stars mean half choke and **** mean improved cylinder?I know these guns are not anything particularly special but so far I cannot fault it!Any info on them would be great,thanks,Tim.
  18. Might be getting soft as I'm getting older but for me it's Hand Warmers!
  19. Well,spoke to three people who should know more than most about this today.Two are current and previous rifle champions who shoot worldwide,and the other was a guy who works for and builds the CZ rifles!Right,I'm expecting hassle for this but here goes.What the three agreed on was that 16 inch is ideal for subsonic ammo up to 100 yards in the majority of cases.But.... After about 40-50 rounds a longer heavy barrel would stabilise the bullet better over distance.And that a heavy long barrel is far better for HV ammo.Right,I'm off now!!!!
  20. So..what I am getting from this is if I buy a cz silouhette or a cz 455 heavy barrel,whether they have 16 or 20 inch tubes ,will both be as accurate as each other up to and over 100 plus meters/yards?
  21. I know that the 99% will opt for shorter barrels!But surely there must be advantages for a long barrel?My main reason for asking is I am going to purchase a new .22lr,CZ 455 more than likely and can't decide on 20 or 16 inch barrel.Why would they offer the 20 as standard if there was no use for it?Main use will be at the range and rabbits,not too concerned about weight issues.Thanks guys,Tim.
  22. Selling a good condition CZ 511 semi auto with mod for £120.Tim
  23. Scope for sale guys, Redfield 4-16x44 with flip up cover on front optic. Duplex crosshair.£120. Get in touch for pics, based near Swansea, thanks, Tim.
  24. Hi guys, need some advice on a new scope for my 22 rimfire. I want a mil dot reticle, dont really want to spend over a £100. Who are making the best scopes for that kind of money or do I need to go higher?
