Harry Callahan

Yeah it's the concern. Love the gun, best fitting I've had. Owned it a while now and although isn't greatly expensive - it cost me enough! And it was bought with an eye to (hopefully) going up in value given time. Where is all this leaving guns like this? Don't really want to buy another I'm presuming my identification of the proof stamp is correct as I've not been correct. I've an old Norica 3-shot b/a .410 aswell, same boat...

This is my worry...

Yes, I expected that... was just giving all info.

Evening! Proof marks are tiny on my Browning - trying to understand them and know if it's Ok to put steel shot through it. It's a B26 from 1976. First pic is Belgian Proof? Which I think is this Nitro Superior Proof?? Other pictures of other marks Last pic I've covered out the serial number. Top barrel has 'special steel 12g shells_23/4" '. And there's 2 stars and $ on both barrels Pics are best I can get, hopefully they give all info. Have I anything to worry about? Any info greatly appreciated

I wouldn't call the Ridgeline Ballistic hoodie thick, it's relatively lightweight IMO - I own it. It's ok for layering but nowhere near as good as the Igloo or Glacier tops (but these don't have hoods). Look at Swazi https://www.bushwear.co.uk/products/the-hood-tussock Or possibly this from Betacraft https://www.graniteworkwear.com/p_14136_betacraft-6512-quest-bush-shirt Or https://www.graniteworkwear.com/p_11194_betacraft-d6312-fleece-bush-shirt

Think it's you who needs to re-read, not Billy The question was can you run a Hilux in 4wd on the road. The reply was no, (but you can buy one new)... Billy is asking why can't you run the Hilux on the road in 4wd, as he can do this with his L200.

Becauase the L200 uses the same drivetrain setup as a Defender. It's the only pickup which does so is the only one which can/could be run on the main road in 4wd in Hi box. The rest use a simpler straight drive set up - so the steering becomes very heavy and limited, and you get excessive wind up if you try to go fast

If you're after the more budget end of things try Solognac (check Decathlon website). I've a few things from them and very impressed so far

Varmint. It has the heavy barrel and heavier chunkier stock than the standard/American... difference in weight between them is noticeable.

These fishing bib and brace for £25. Huge pass. They are brilliant. I'm wearing them for work (I'm a shepherd). They keep you nice and warm in any weather (you do get very hot in them when it's warm!) and dry in very wet weather. The closest thing I can find to compare is a Dickies padded/waterproof boilersuit/overall and they are about £80... Just keep an eye out for when they're next back in store

Might give it a try 👍 I was thinking water might leave it a bit sticky

How long in the oven afterwards 😂 Good tip, how do you clean the cola off?

If you use Nikwax/Nikwash you need to get the right one for the fabric you want to treat... they do work.

I've both .17hmr and .22lr. My .17hmr is a CZ452. Absolute beaut of a gun - way more accurate than I will ever be... Only criticism I have is it's a Varmint, so very heavy. My other rifle goes against all other comments. If the CZ is Agricultural, I'm not sure how you'd describe the PUMA. But I bought it (£150 brand new, synthetic stock) as an out and out worker. Stuck a cheap Hawke 3-9*50 scope on it. I don't care if it gets knocked, scratched or a touch rusty (surface). It shoots lovely (accurate enough for rabbits), and I really like it. I bought the hmr first, 15 years ago. The .22 came only 5 years ago... for rabbits the .22 is my go to now (although there's not many rabbits here any more - the bunny virus seen to that!). Hmr hardly gets used but I keep it for crows. If I was forced to sell one it'll be the hmr (and it is a round I love!).

I've an ASE Utra. Very very good, but a pain to clean...
