  1. Found a good half dozen of those in a shop second hand.was tempted to buy as only a few quid but as im new to stalkiing i debated it. i may go back and grab one .quick dull down with matt paint and may be perfect
  2. im no life long time stalker but i recently bought a steyr classic half stock in .243 and its bloody lovely.wood btw.
  3. As per title i could do with some of the above if anyone needs a hand or could offer a day here and there bumping off the foxes or roe.
  4. Pizzin myself here. i often wonder if the younger lads here think we older blokes are telling tales when we discuss the russian cartridges.They were indeed interesting to use especially on the shore at dawn or dusk.The BB round was predictably impressive on greylag i recall.
  5. baikals/record were cheapest here in the late 70's very early 80's. £8 a hundred i think--cheaper by the thousand of course but i didnt have the cash for that.Bringing back memories now i recall a winchester round-- red waxy solid plastic case they were.cant recall their name.We used them a lot when they were available cheap Think it was these here.
  6. I recall walking back one afternoon back up the fields from my favorite oak tree on a sown field and asking the farmer for some paper eley cartridges i could buy off him.he used to give me them free!! ahh changed days indeed
  7. We used to buy them from an ironmonger store in St Andrews .I recall the staff had them in a wee wall cupboard by kitchenware .They sold them just as they would a kitchen utensil. No drama . Makes you wonder where the publics overall negative attitude to fieldsports took this turn.It was usually when the supply of russian rounds was running low and we had a big day ahead on the estates ferreting/pigeon shooting.I was young and had very little cash.,I used to count every shot fired against how many birds/rabbits i had in the bag for sale to the dealer. PS. if i was really flush id ask for a box of alphamax or maximums for duck or geese!!!
  8. Why we should all be eating more wild venison to save Britain’s woodlands and countryside (msn.com)
  9. One or two reasonable areas on the foreshore .Inland at this point is a blank sheet. Aye Scully big areas there, i find that with these big areas there is generally big money ,not always i grant you but very often especially if the area is multi-faceted with regards to quarry species present.Early days .Not even over there at this point.Being ever the optimist im sure theres at least one fella over there someplace that dun mind me on his patch every so often.
  10. Seems I may be moving Dunbar way this year.im on the look out for some shooting as we all do when we relocate. Anybody that can assist please get in touch.pigeon/ goosing too!!!
  11. go grab a hw77.Had mine .Shot quite literally thousands of rabbits/pigeon with it over the last 30 years.
  12. 7ltr.Bough new last year .No longer needed. Fife .Pick up only £190
  13. Agreed-great when sat still but oh dear--walk a distance in these babies and prepare to drip dry in a nice pool of freezing cold sweat when you stop .
  14. i would post yes. someone is saying they want to see the gun on tuesday just so as you know. So on hold until then.7LTR bottle bought new last year also for sale.scope ,bipod and sling sold separately if at all.
