Call James at www.welshcountrysports.com I got mine from him n it was a gd price and decent stuff.

As above I don't know how to set up a poll so I will start, sporting gets my vote!

Feed them away from the water, gradually leapfrog the feeders or trail of feed daily until they are at least 150 yards away. This will encourage them off the water and "wild" them up a bit. Works for me every year, ducks are nice and wild and so high! Seasons average ao far after 3 shoots is 6-1 but the guns don't shoot any floppy low ones they are nice and selective.

If you search on www.streetmap.co.uk you can type in your post code, village etc and then move the arrow to point at exact shoot lodge location. Then go to bottom of the map and it will say convert coordinates click here, then it brings up the OS Grid Ref, eastings & northings, even your longitude and latitude I think. Hope that helps!!

I know someone interested could you pm me the contact details buddy?? Cheers

Was it razor thin buddy?

Ours went out at 5 weeks old this year and thrived. If they r starting to peck at that age get them out I say buddy.

Gd luck 3 weeks ish till my poults arrive! Life will never be the same again for u ;0)

Sent bud

Got any pics bud?

Glad to hear this I just bought one ;0)

I leave the pop holes open in the areas that the birds are in the early days and gradually open them up as and when they start exploring. I would never have wings clipped. I think they stand more of a chance of getting away from something. Don't forget something could still get into your pen even with all the prevention in the world, u can guarantee a fencer battery will die in the middle of the night and not during the day etc.....

Just a thought, why don't ya just put a funnel on the inside of the pop hole so that the birds can't exit from inside to out. It's wot I have done all my life.

Just be careful that the feeder nozzle is not too high! Remember poults are not as tall as a fully grown bird!!!!

Guys, Just out of interest does that bloody great lever on the sniper system bipods not get in the way a bit when moving about? Looks like it might catch on things to me? Just wondered Cheers Chris

I bought a load of cheap metal 9 inch tent pegs off eBay. Cost about 40 quid to do it!

Cheers all, Well she shoots straight a half inch group at 80 yards is good enough for me! So at the moment there does not seem to be any issues. Just out of interest what do you guys zero at? Cheers Chris

After a 3 month wait the variation finally came through and I have been and got my new rifle today. Thanks to all that offered advice went for a cz 452 stainless synthetic in the end. Splashed out on a new 3-12x50 zeiss duralyt for the optics too. Cheers all Chris

Lol yup that's why I asked!!!

Cheers mate am after an illuminated gd luck.

Hi is it the ret 6 model or has it an IR? Cheers

Hi Border reiver, I would love a look at the owners booklet if you wouldn t mind sending me a link to it. As I have said it was my first gun given to me by my grandfather many moons ago who inherited it from a friend. Have shot alot of my firsts with it (Pheasant, Duck, Hare, Decoyed Pigeon, Partridge all a long time ago!!). As well as a memorable cock bird on a beaters day once. You should of heard the laughs in the line as I loaded the old girl...KERCHUNK >>>KERCHUNK....! lol If I get time tonight I will add a couple of pics. Cheers Chris

Cheers guys. Mine has no rib just a small bead and I think only a 26" barrel. Any idea on a value for one? Say ok condition with the silver action. Cheers Chris

Hi guys I have an OLD (I think) browning 2 shot semi auto 12 bore that was given to me by my grandad years ago. I think it is a twelvette model. Can't find anything out about them and have only ever seen 1 in a shop. Does any one know anything about the gun? The model or if they are rare or just something that never caught on?? Cheers Chris

I bought a cheap large slow cooker seems to work well. But obviously only for roe and munties.
