  1. I've been offered some wildfowling, which is good. My predicament is.......I want to use my Extrema 2, as it's the only shotgun I own that will shoot anything over 2 3/4" cartridges and is steel proofed. My Extrema 2 is currently FAC multishot. I know the law states that you can't use any shotgun capable of holding more than 3 cartridges in total, which means I can't use the Extrema2 in it's current state. However, I still have the original crimped tube, rod, spring and end cap, which if fitted will limit the magazine capacity to 2. So would this bring it inside the law, or do I have to go the whole hog and get it reproofed and back to SGC? Has anyone ever done this?
  2. You dislike Jura??? Heathen!!! Try the 16 year old, it is quite a bit smoother than the 10year old. I've done quite a bit of stalking on Jura, and been to the distillery many times....heaven!
  3. .223 = cheap to run, quieter, large range of factory ammo available most places, plenty of new/used rifles around. .243 = a bit more expensive to run, a bit louder, large range of factory ammo available most places, plenty of new/used rifles around, legal for all deer if the occasion arises, the most adaptable caliber around in my opinion.
  4. Where abouts in Warwickshire are you Ollie? I heard tell of a certain Warwickshire FEO that makes life difficult for new deer conditions as he likes to ringfence all the stalking for himself.....
  5. I don't agree with that, I've had many an outing with multiple corvids from an upturned rabbit.
  6. Spot on Alex. It is now, always has been, and always will be, up to the shooter to make sure it's safe.
  7. And when you've got yourself well hidden, keep still, very still!!
  8. Does anyone know if he's a pro or just a hobbyist? I have a very nice sidelock that I would like re-bluing but have concerns about sending it to someone that may not have the correct RFD, training, third party insurance, etc in place.
  9. Have a look at the Continental WinterContact TS850 tyres, they fair superbly in all reviews, and transform the family Mondeo estate in the winter.
  10. My sprocker is 5 years old now, and works as well as any other spaniel, of any breed, on the shoots that I beat on. At the end of the day it all depends on what you put into the dog, whether it be a springer, cocker or a sprocker. Put the time into her training and she'll turn out fine. Good luck with her.
  11. Barbour Border Wax Coat in excellent condition. Size C46 / 117CM. (I take a large and this fits me perfectly with a couple of layers underneath) This coat was bought by my father to wear when watching Rugby. He wore it 6 times only last winter before admitting it was a little too small for him, it's been hung up in a wardrobe ever since. The best price I can find online is £199, so I'm asking £75 including postage.
  12. They obviously had a couple of pages to fill, and nothing useful to fill them with.....
  13. 1/2 and 1/2 Teagues for everything.
  14. If you shoot enough it will happen one day. Why not take Redgum up on his kind offer and let his dog search for it.
  15. I have 85 x .243 Ackley Improved cases (Lapua), fired 3 times including fireforming, full length sized, ultrasonic cleaned and annealed. £25 inc postage.
  16. I have a couple of lots of .223 brass to clear:- 82 x Nosler Custom Brass (40 x brand new, 42 x once fired. All from same lot). £30 inc postage 74 x Norma once fired cases. (This is from their Diamond Line range). £25 inc postage
  17. If you think of splitting I would be interested in 2 x Skeet and 1 x 1/4, I don't need the case.

    Whats This?

    Don't be silly, we're talking about the BBC here.......
  19. The energy from ANY caliber rifle (from .22LR upwards) is enough to kill and has small margin for error. Know your abilities, know your firearm, ensure you have a good safe backstop and you will be fine. A .270WSM is just as safe as a .22LR in a safe shooters hands.
  20. I thought exactly the same thing.
  21. As above, I have a Monsoon II and can find no fault with it's weatherproofing. However if you are doing lot's of heavy walking etc it can tend to get a bit sweaty inside.....
