I’m looking for an improved cylinder or cylinder flush fitting choke for a baikal o/u 20g if anyone has one or knows where I can get one. Many thanks

Pm’d You back squirrelhall.

Thanks for your kind offer but I’m going to keep looking for a bowman. Much appreciated though. Regards,Grant.

Hi,thanks you for that but on reflection I think I’ll hold out for one closer to home because of the delivery cost. Best regards

Hi,I’ve got a baikal 20 gauge o/u multichoke ejector I’m willing to part with for £180. That includes postage to your rfd of choice. Pm me if you are interested and I can send u pics.

Thanks,unfortunately this one is now sold. If anyone else has one I’d be interested.

I’m looking for a bowman clay trap preferably one that takes two Clays at the same time. There are a few about for sale but nothing close by. Im in the Scottish Borders. Thanks

Agreed! Could certainly be a blackthorn. The ones I’m used to are usually more spindly than that one looks. The cherry plum trees can have spikes on them too but definitely not as nasty on the hands as the blackthorn.

Cherry plum.

If the weight of your moderator is a consideration as it is for me on my 22/250 varmint barrel with heavy nightforce scope then I can recommend the dpt moderator.

I’ve used a 22/250 for 30 years on foxes and roe (in Scotland) I use 50grain rounds for foxes and 55grain rounds for roe. It is a very good choice for what you are looking to use it for.

Glad it’s not just me who does stuff like that!!

I drive a 17plate Navara and the adblue needs filled roughly every 1200 miles. It’s very comfy to drive but also very soft on the back end with the new coil springs when loaded up with work gear and with a trailer it looks really low even with the tires at 41psi. The traffic police pulled me in because of this and reckoned they are aimed at the leisure market rather than commercial market. I’m getting 26mpg without the trailer and 23mpg with the 2 tonne trailer so not great on fuel. To be fair it’s all steep country roads I’m on so that’s to be expected. I think if I would look at the L200.

It depends on your budget too. Husky 550xp is a great saw as is the stihl ms261. Don’t run any longer than a 15” bar on the 550 or 16” it is on the stihl. I run a 13” bar on my ones and they are light to use and very fast cutting. These will be around the £500 mark new and if you need more power and a longer bar then consider the husky 560 or the stihl 362. These will cope with an 18” or 20” bar. Then it’s the stihl 461 and then the 661. The mistake a lot of occasional users make is putting too long a bar on too small a saw.

Thanks for the good advice,I’ll do a oil/filter change and then at least I know it’s all good.

Just bought a 2010 hornet 600 and wondered whether I should bother changing the oil as it’s only done 350 miles since the last service which was 12 months ago. According to the manual the oil should be changed every year regardless of miles covered. I’m tempted to change it for piece of mind but is it a waste of money?

I do about 3000 miles a year in my 1999 Jimny which had only had city use and never seen a salty road so as a result is solid underneath. Very rare at that age I know. When my one needs replacing I’ll buy another without hesitation. They are great off road and like what’s already been said,remove the back seats and it’s a perfect shooting truck.

Thanks for the replies. Ive went for a buck with a 3 blade. Looks decent enough. Thanks for the replies. Ive went for a buck with a 3 blade. Looks decent enough.

Can anyone recommend a good lock knife apart from an opinel that has a reliable lock that wont shut by accident. Ive had opinel knifes which are decent enough but hard to open when wet. I have a normark but the lock isnt reliable.

Thanks Brian, thats interesting about them not holding zero. I dont own any night vision or thermal kit at the moment but a good friend of mine has both thermal spotter and pulsar night vision scope. He is on his third scope due to it not holding zero. Apart from the hassle factor of getting it replaced its a pain when u miss a fox thats been doing damage.

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I'll hang off a while and research it a bit more.

I'm looking at the pulsar f155 add on night vision and wondered if anyone had one and what the verdict was before I convince the wife I need to spend a grand. Paragraph in the shooting times today sais he was happy with it out to 150yds. I'd want more range than that for identifying quarry. Maybe a better ir would stretch the range a bit. Any options would be welcome on this subject. Cheers

Thanks mate,I'll have a look!

Hi,I'm looking for an iPhone 5s,unlocked or on EE. I thought I'd ask here before I chance one off the obvious auction site. Many thanks

Well said Mel b3. That is spot on.And thank you for your kind offer of the loan of your magnet. I don't mind waiting for a while for a delivery as long as you are kept informed. I'm a tree surgeon and would never leave a customer hanging around waiting for me if I'm running late or a job gets cancelled due to weather. I always keep people up to date. It's courteous and it's not much to ask but means a lot and earns you a good reputation. I'm currently pursuing a refund from Matt Cole.
