Hi all Can anyone point me in the right direction to some Zeiss Hensoldt scopes? I want one. Thanks

wish I had some land like that....

my shoulder is pretty sore. I was finishing the last of my buffalo 36grm No.6s :unsure:

Started at 9am and finished at 4pm Shot them coming into the wood after acorns. No decoys used. 136 birds picked. A lot of cartidges fired.

Just wondering if anyone had any luck with the springers this year?

a very fine animal indeed. Well done.

The skin on the tail and backside didn't look irritated, just balled. Must be some sort of parasite..

Well done dougy, you nailed it on the head.

2 greylag and 1 mallard

I shot this fox last night. He didn't look too healthy.... I have never seen mange on the foxes at home before.

I hope everyone know what type of deer these are..........

1 greylag - 36grm No. 5

I didn't realise you are handy in the kitchen henry_d...

Good one henryd. I thought you were a countryman.

No its not my dog - found it on my doorstep this morning. Picture of **** removed.

just the four of us

Irelands the place to be....

34 snipe & 1 woodcock

usually the Nosler sst Ballistic tip or the speer soft nose..

What I find pretty amazing is that even with a large rifle, 6.5 x 55 129grn bullet, they still seem to run quite a distance with a good 'heart/lung' shot. When I go to pick him up I'm amazed at them amount of damage done. I think, even when a miss is suspected, that one should follow the fox up at least 120yrds anyway. Just to be sure. Often they will drop on the spot if they're not sure youre there. However when they know something is wrong (and the adrenalin is pumping) they cover huge distances, even with a well placed shot. They never cease to amaze me

Its a sako Hunter, heavy barrel. 6.5 x 55 S&B 6 x 42 scope

The top two are the same

4 shot - found the last one this morning - dead in a bush.

Threading of the barrel is very important, and should be done on a decent lathe. Its especially important on centre fire rifles.

What about benelli or browning.........??
