DD,
The Bazanty originates from Poland and, as you say, is renowned for being a good flyer. They also
hold quite well and are a good bird to start with.
Lots of game farms can supply Bazanty birds, and I think many of the general 'ring necked' birds have
Bazanty cross in them.

We also have a Polaris Ranger (which does 40mph, good for chasing down Mr Fox...).
I use a 75gn V-Max (which does 3400fps, very very good for chasing down Mr Fox...)

38.5 is Hodgdon recommended max load for their Varget powder.

They are over priced **** i wouldn't put one on my gun and browning purchasing three some one seen tou coming
2000+ rounds through my first A-Tec helped make my mind up on the second and third purchases.
No single sound mod will tick ALL the boxes, my preference for the A-Tec was a personal decision, and the second
and third purchases were based on research which included taking advice from a good pal who is a very knowlegable
riflesmith, and did some rather intense testing of different mods.
So no, they didn't 'see me coming', I actually looked them up, which puts a completely different view on things.

Sorry to read this Olly.
I know it's tough but you did the right thing by her.
You're a credit to all hunters young fella. Keep up the good work.

I emailed the CPSA when the car went back up informing them of my thoughts. (Del Boy stylee)
I did receive a response, which said that I, along with ONE other, were the only two members that had
complained about the car being on the site.
I guess they are quite happy to openly lie to their members as well. (Ex member, I will not be rejoining)

I have three...I like them
I always remove them from the rifle after use, and zero is not affected on refitting.
Sound moderation (In my opinion) is as good as the T8 I used to run on the same rifle (.243).
Although different rifles will moderate differently.
I did hear of one loosening up inside, but that was because the gunsmith that fitted it didn't tighten the
threaded nut up correctly. I always strip mine and studlock the nut in place.
If you're interested PM me and I'll send you the contact details of the lad that imports them.

Getting the .308 was no problem the feo didnt bat an eye lid gave me a slot for a modorator as well! I will need the 308 in the future but wont be for some time and have much more use for fac air at the mo!!
Why not variate the moderator slot for the FAC air rifle and keep the .308?
If you then need the .308 for the odd outing you already have it, minus the mod.

either that or they just leave them as they are and change the underlying systems so they make the 2.5% as extra profit.
I suspect that is what will happen in a large number of cases, just as the banks in the past haven't always passed on interest rate cuts to their customers,
there is no reason why shop keepers etc have to pass on the 2.5% VAT cut to their customers.

A .243AI would be a much better bet, if you don't want a standard .243.

My local gamedealer is being 'suggested to' that all game will need to be supplied by 'trained hunters'
shortly.
If he does bow down to pressure I will be stuck with no local outlet for my birds.

Thanks Malc, I've already tried BASC.
Problem is distance with both of the dates available but I may have to bite the bullet and do it anyway.

Hi All,
I need to get on a Wild Game Meat Hygiene course as soon as possible.
Does anyone happen to know of any courses scheduled around the midlands?
The only one I can find is Somerset and I really don't want to travel for 3 hours and 160 miles each way if I can help it......

The downside with the ATEC is that the "lightweight" baffles get gas cut in 50 rounds and they dont actually do much silencing. Oh and that is when they are not somewhat embarrasingly coming unscrewed.
I dont want to name him but I know a man who feels somewhat dissapointed with his.
I haven't had either of those issues with any of my A-Tec mods, and the one on my .243 has had in excess of 2000 rounds through it.
Also, having shot my.270 with a T8 and with an A-Tec, I can guarantee that the sound moderating capability of the A-Tec is just as
good as the T8.
-
Stu,
I had the same problem with the T8 on my .270, it lasted 18 months.
I now have an A-Tec and find the moderation just as good as the T8, and the repeatability after removal
and refitting is spot on, no zero shift at all.
I like the A-Tec mod so much I now have one on each of my three rifles.

Sound advice from the lads above.
One thing I will say is make absolutely certain that you have the time to dedicate to your dog.
Regular daily excercise is a must.
Keep your training sessions short and regular (10/15 mins every day rather than 2 hours at the weekend).
Start now and build up a massive store of patience....you will need it.
Good luck with him/her.

Cobra`s are very good and i belive made on the same production line as motorola !

I don't look at posts with pictures attached and headings along the lines of:-
"Last nights outing"
"Lots of foxes"
"Lots of rabbits"
"Out last night"
"Fox pics (Graphic)"
"Fox v .223"
I've seen more than my share of shot vermin and over the years I've come to the conclusion....They all look the same!!!

Tough times Kev.
Don't let the ******** grind you down mate.

I flick through the BASC magazine when it arrives but don't find it particularly impressive and certainly not up there with Shooting Times. If there was an option of a reduced BASC membership rate without the magazine then I'd definitley take it!!

I ran 48.5grains Hodgdon H4831SC behind a 130gn Sierra Gameking, lit by Federal 210 primer, .01" off lands gave me sub
3/4" @ 100yds all day through my Tikka T3.

Harry,
PM me nearer the time, we'll sort something out.

I will be staying behind locked doors with the TV volume turned high trying to console one
of our dogs who is a nervous wreck at this time of year because of damned fireworks.
If I had my way they would be licenced only to organised displays to be held well away from
farms, and would put an extremely tight limit on the noise.
Bah Humbug? Too damned right, I despise the bloody things!
Rough shooting
in Gamekeeping and Shoot Management

Good answers by anser2.
One thing I would say is don't start shooting too early in the season, especially if it's been a poor breeding summer like the past two years,
and limit your days, give them time to recover and settle down after you shoot.
I never shoot more than once a fortnight on my rough shoot, and even then I rarely shoot the same beats.
This means I have birds around all season.
