Hi, is it the "XT", like this one for £389: http://opticswarehouse.co.uk/product/yukon-photon-xt-6-5x50l-digital-night-vision-riflescope/ Would you sell without the illuminator as I have one already? Do you have any pics? Thanks.

Only SGC make lever release. There is a VZ58 "trigger-release" (MARS) around, imported by Caledonian Arms, I think. I have a SGC straight pull in .223Wylde and a Hera Arms in 300Whisper, which Dave at Valkyrie did for me. I'd go with Dave at Valkyrie or Mark at Bradley Arms if I was buying a new straight pull. If you want a lever release, Bob at SGC is your only option, and it ain't cheap!

Varies: Last month I had a one-for-one which took less than two weeks. I phoned to let them know I needed to travel to England with firearms for comps. Last year had a variation which took about 6 weeks (called several times, always polite, of course!)

Payment sent, thanks.

Yes please. PM sent

FYI, Trapdoor loads might be 1300 ftlbs but a Ruger No.1 can launch a 300gr pill at 2600fps; approx 4500 ftlb. Either should be adequate for fox with proper bullet placement ;-)

All my non-gallery CF rifles are AOLQ, incl 45-70. I wouldn't choose to use it for fox though!

Yup.

Sweet. There is something about Kwaks.

Or try the OCW method.

The 10/22 has an astronomical number of customisation options which can really change the feel of the gun. If you don't want the hassle of a 1-4-1 variation then trying to rectify what you don't like about the 10-22 might be an option. Of course, this might be throwing good money after bad... As for pointability, my 10-22 has a carbon-shrouded Volquartsen barrel and sits in a Boyds Evo stock: it's beautifully light, accurate and points like a dream. Unfortunately these mods aren't cheap.

I'm not sure what you mean? My concern is that in healthcare systems where there is profit to be made, this skews decision-making toward the most profitable treatment, not necessarily the best treatment for the individual patient. It also makes it harder to produce unbiased research, potentially creating a vicious-circle. My advice to patients is based on what I think is best for them (based on good research wherever possible), not on what I or my hospital get paid, nor what the patient can afford.

They aren't. Large numbers of posts are unfilled. I short-list and interview candidates for Jnr Dr posts (frequently we have no UK applicants) and the number of foreign applicants is falling. Often the short-listed candidates from overseas don't accept offer of interview or decline the post later. Many of the countries from whom we used to poach Drs have growing expertise and status on the world's medical stage and the U.K.s pull is diminishing. There is a growing recruitment and retainment problem in UK healthcare: this contract will make that worse.

Yes- they'd get paid a lot more and we'd all have to have health insurance. I've worked in both models of healthcare and would choose the NHS over any of the current alternatives. Grrclark, the idea that this is just about Saturday pay is laughable: you have fallen for Hunt's spin. The removal of hours safeguards, the discrimination, the fallacy that you can spread the same number of staff more thinly without compromising safety: these are key issues at stake. We are witnessing the slow death of the NHS but no one cares or wants to hear it. Hunts plans for a 7-day NHS using the same number of junior Drs will worsen both elective and emergency care. I don't have a dog in this fight (I'm not a Jnr Doctor anymore and I'm not in England- I left) so I find it difficult to motivate myself to battle for the NHS in England. If public support wains (as it will eventually), Hunt will have his way and the public of England will get the NHS it deserves. Hopefully not something like the USA, Switzerland or other insurance-based system where clinical decisions are grossly swayed by the level of cover and the profitability of the treatment. Bye-bye evidence-based medicine. I don't want to waste time trying to convince those who don't want to hear the truth but I am amazed that they aren't questioning the motives of their politicians more closely and instead assume this is a "greed" issue. Naïve? Stupid? Shares in private health care providers? Incidentally, the medical cover being provided during the strikes is the same as takes place every August when the new crop of Jnr Drs rotate posts and undergo induction and training. The media want you to think otherwise because the headlines look better.

Adding a lanyard hole?!

Many bullets become unstable at transonic threshold, not just rimmies. I had a great .308 load that shot very well up to 900yds but at 1100 they were sideways!

Many scopes can have the parallax adjusted: have a Google: eg. http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94809 If, while pointing at a target at your most commonly missed range, the point of aim appears to move when you move your head then you may have a problem with parallax. So many other things can cause occasional fliers...

This one's safe for now...

Looks like my kind of thing but I, too, was expecting long-barrelled pistol or centre fire rifle to make an appearance? Is there any reason I couldn't use a Ruger 10/22 for the .22LR sections? It's comp-ready for 1500/Bianchi etc. Congrats on the win!

You could consider 2x 20 gun safes or making a gun room.

My FAC air is my least used gun. It probably has the greatest depreciation, too. It fills a niche, but it's a very narrow niche. I'd think long and hard before splashing out (and go secondhand.)

So is it Mossberg or Baikal?!

It's not a big deal unless you are a twitching psychopath. He'll probably accept a cuppa, chat about your experience of shooting, check security of the property and maybe meet the family (if relevant.) He'll go through paperwork and check out your habits. My S Wales renewal last year was quite long compared to previous ones- I think the guy was new.

Just ditched Sky to save £62 per month. No complaints from kids or wife after 2 weeks.

Who are the "non-contributors"? What would you do to fix the NHS? Obviously I'm asking tongue-in-cheek because the answer is never going to be simple, but you get some surprising answers from people (some näive, some plain bigoted, a few thought-provoking). I would like to see it de-politicised, though I'm not sure how accountability to us (the taxpayers) could be achieved. A cross-party arrangement of some sort. Something to end the perpetual cycle of ill thought out changes and manifesto-promise-driven policies that destabilise the NHS and add to the inefficiencies and low morale. I think there needs to be an open debate about what the NHS can/cannot afford to deliver and what we are prepared to pay for. Politicians are afraid of this because it would be very difficult to avoid taking vote-losing flak and being seen as rationing healthcare. I do believe Hunt's end game is one of privatisation of the NHS except a Blue-cross style emergency service. Oncology and a few others may survive longer in the current model. I fear for a UK without the NHS- what sort of society would take the regressive step of going back to a private system (or some variation thereof).
