storm in a teacup

I'm looking for my first .243 as my FAC has recently dropped on my doorstep. I'm looking for a package of rifle, mod, scope if possible. It doesn't have to be the best looking as long as it shoots straight and I will only have it out a few times a year. I live near dumfries but I can travel a couple of hour's in either direction. I'm putting the feelers out now but im not looking to buy until I get paid at the end of the month, sorry but this month has been a bit tight with unexpected bills. I'm not looking to spend too much. Thanks for looking, WHY? Nick

Thanks for the id everyone. My wife has given up telling him to put things down when they are out walking the dogs. He's a proper lad, always has something in his hand that he's found that his mother hates.

I thought it might be a deer as he found it in the woods. But I'm not that clued up on deer having never been close to one.

Does anyone know what the skull is in the left of the pictures. My son found it while walking the dogs and he has asked me to id it. The one on the right is a sheep skull he previously found. I'm stumped.

Just watched it, its a fake, the guy buying the pizzas is disco boy who does a lot of these prank videos.

That's fine with me

Brilliant let me PM how you want paying and I will get it to you asap

I've sent you a PM

Brilliant thank for having a look for me.

Its a strange one but does anyone have any old tobacco pipes they no longer want. I like to smoke the odd pipe and I've got in to restoring them (everyone needs a hobby). I've bought a few on ebay that I've given a second lease of life. I'm not looking to spend a lot and will even take broken ones as I need spares. Thanks Nick

Someone left a shotgun on a train near me a couple of years ago , phoned the police when he realised and it got picked up a couple of stations later. I believe he kept his licence after a telling off.

Browning is derelict now and has been for the last few years. It's just waiting to get redeveloped.

I have a miiband 4. Does all of the above and about £20 off gear best.

Neil Basu confirmed it was a fake at the 1600hrs press conference yesterday.

Surprisingly each force can train what ever they want. There is best practice but each force are free to do what they want. The Chief Constable carries the can if it goes wrong and they havent followed best practice. Most forces comply but a few do stray.

It's a lonely place gripping the brass rail but if you do the right thing for the right reasons you will be alright. I've done a few courses over the water. I got very very drunk.

Things haven't changed much, what they talk about now is honestly held belief, what you have to justify is your first and last round. What was you thinking to take the first shot and why did you stop. It's all about threat assessment. Apologies I thought you were job

I would say they didnt put a gun to his head and pull the trigger as it's not taught by any police force in the uk as far as I know. Apologies I know that all the police over the water carry as I've spent a bit of time there myself. I meant to say where are you trained to shoot if you suspect they have an IED.

Yeah I've seen the videos, why?

🤣

We train to shoot centre mass unless you suspect they are wearing an IED then you take an alternative poa to the t zone so as not to disrupt the device. What are you trained to do if you suspect they are wearing an IED?

I have no idea why they didnt put the muzzle to his head, I've never been taught that or taught it but if that's your force policy then you must have a good reason for doing it. I have no idea where he was shot but you may be privy to that. I dont know what the policy of the met is or the city is in regards to the training they received. I dont have the answers to your questions as I wasn't there. I don't know what you train but its obviously different from what I do.

When they shot de Menezes they thought he was a bomber, I know one of the lads on the job as he now works with me. My constabulary practice shooting the t zone. I've been an afo/ofc for 15 years and practiced it loads. I dont say that in the heat of the moment it is achievable but it's well taught and practiced. If you don't do it then it's down to your force but many forces have as tactical option.

This is why they should aim for the medulla oblongata, disrupting it does not allow the body to control muscles either clenching or relaxing. That's why de Menezes what shot 7 times in the head.

Just to let you know Chris Green DVDs are £10 each posted this weekend on west country films. They say £25 but go to a tenner when you add then to the cart. https://www.westcountryfilm.co.uk/dvds/
