I'd second that of OB Just checked and a 525 game one 30" barrel weighs 7lb 3oz - 7lb 4oz compared to my Jubilee prestige at just under 6 1/2 lb They say that the 525 16g is based on the 20 bore action but i used to have a 525 hunter 12g that weighed around 7lb 3oz Does'nt seem to add up So if your 12g feels heavy now then a Lincoln would be the better choice weight wise and are ideal for long walked up days NB Lincoln are still offering the £50 cashback deal on new guns

Carefully clamp a piece of wood along the top of the rib, two small wedges in from either side of the dent and nip them in with a clamp

Is this any worse than all human food waste going into wheelie bins then into land fill This now is a massive bowl of contention where BOGOF and through it out into wheelie bins as it is out of date ( total waste of produce ) but seems to be accepted by the masses As stated most game enters the food chain and enjoyed by all How many of these anti's have ate and fed their kids on chicken nuggets, dippers, kievs kentucky fried chicken etc Where these chickens have been force fed in battery houses with poor light and higiene for 8 weeks then slaughtered for the mass markets which are totaly unhealthy to human consumption But is acceptable to the anti's but game that has roamed free for months fed on wheat and barley and maze and wild berry and seed is not acceptable As to the question above i breast a few birds and the carcassaes are placed in a hole in a wood with the intention to place a cam to see where they go as next morning when i take the dogs out there is nothing left not a feather But have seen sparrow hawks and kestels feeding on them in the past which i am quite happy to see especialy in hard winters Moto of the story Keep eating game and the anti's will join the dinosaurs" Extinct" eating ****

They say there's no demand But it's been reported that game sales in supermarkets are up 16 to 20%

Funny enough just lost my bead halfway through a pheasant shoot yesterday Must've worked it's way loose and no sign of it in the slip But made no difference to my shooting I'll just contact Anglo Italia and have it replaced

I am not in a dissagreement with burying game carcasses but the way it was carried out due to the sensitive issues regarding game and game shoots All wildlife thrive on dead carcasses and fully agree Incidently a farmers cow or sheep dies in the field he/she is not allowed to bury it but has to be collected and incinerated

Was it actualy BASC that sent it ?

Me too in scotland All birds were taken by the guns for human consumption After first asking the beaters if they would like some

Just seen this tonight when i got in shootinguk site Done by Hunt saboteurs association Probably breasted out But it is not allowed, to bury any dead carcasses unlawfully whether cow sheep pig etc As i do not condone this practice There are some underlying issues regarding the game dealers and government practices that need addessing Last season the dealers were paying 75p per bird This season the estastes have to pay the dealers 45p per bird for them to collect them I take as many birds as i can and pass them on to friends and family Just recently i was asked by an associate where he could get a small quantity of birds for his dad at reasonable cost as he could'nt find out where he could get fresh game Hence i got him 20 brace and his dad was over the moon Another work mate rings me every season who takes around 40 brace Soemthing is not right where there are people wanting game birds but do not know where to get them

Too true figgy I seem to remember a few years back where they got fox hunting bannned ? ( is it ) and that was meant to be the start of the finnish for all gaming sport But it's ok to go round with knives & machetes butchering other human life Do'nt see the anti's raising their issues with this disgracefull behaviour Just this week it has been anowsted that we now have to stop eating meat to save the planet Just more infidile minor upstarts that is trying to make a name for themselves in the political arena and cannot address the real issues in society And i bet they eat meat and game albeit wrapped up in a nice polythene wrapper bought at Tesco ( who do'nt use British sources ) Sorry for the rant

Congratulations Next time do'nt use full choke

I got a Laksen Kudu jacket which is light and good to shoot in Not sure if they are phasing them out but i got another for the future as i like them

Was thinking of mentioning ASI myself but was'nt sure they'd deal with general public Good advice I know John Rothery will not deal with the public only trade

Have to agree I did the same 5 year day release worked both on bench joinery and on private sites so best of both worlds Working for a small country joinery business The college was great for the theory and we did bench joinery We had 4 apprentices came onto the job we're on 2 brickies 1 plasterer and 1 joiner the brickies were perthetic and would not work no matter how the masons tried to teach them both left The joiner lad was good at the start and keen but dwindled off more interested in his mobile and left The plasterer has stuck to it and will help anyone and is still keen and can plaster The whole system is wrong And yes always taking photos of them standing next to work done my us tradesmen Biggest problem with the young is the bloody mobiles They're on them the whole time even when i tried to warn them that their boss will go off on a one They could'nt care But i find myself having to show much older blokes how to do jobs as they have'nt served a proper apprenteship either

I would'nt recommend fitting in a loft As said ease of access for one Condensation can be a problem, so to the temperatures freezing in winter and extreme heat in summer Your bound to have a bit space somewhere in a corner or inside a fitted cupboard As said buy a decent sized one you can always store your cleaning rods and cartridges in it if you do'nt buy another gun Or even store all the spare cash you'll have by not buying more guns

I'am in the N east myself Good luck and hope you find what you're lookng for as you're on the right track Best of luck S

Depends where you are if you're looking for your nearest dealer You can google them as there are a few up and down the country Honesberie shooting school castleguns here in the N East I would steer clear of sportsmanguncentre if you're after a game gun go for an Artemis with solid top rib depending on your budget and preference But that would be my next gun on my list But i am an avid caesaer Guerini man All the Italian O/U guns were and are based on the best English O/U guns of the early 20 century and were made for the English market as were the Spanish SxS'ds

William Powell even call the gun the Artemis Perdix and stick another £600 plus on top

You should just go direct to B Rizinni They will custom fit a gun to you in your spec ie an Artemis There was a thread on here a year or two back by someone who went through William Powell and it ended up heading through the courts Plus it will probably be cheaper and you may get a trip round their factory ( unless you want the the William Powell name on ) Second that as i have the Highlander sideplate

Not that i've heard of up this end anyway I live near an Army range where live firing is common so will non toxic apply to the forces now?? The report i was reading They did'nt mention what non toxic componenets they were using

German scientists have been developing and testing non lead bullets and been comparing them to lead They concluded that at normal stalk distance they were on a par except for large game Deer and boar who had a longer run off period after being shot and lying down and dying The Danish say there is longer run off with non toxic compared to lead at normal to longer distance and apparantly they are coming into Scotland on trial

Perhaps these duck in question??? were aquired from Scotland shoots Where you can shoot wildfowl over land but not over shore estuaries lead shot that is

We had our summer get together clay drives and barbie last summer A young shooter was using a friends browning just up from me and i heard them say something about an odd sound and the friend said that he gets the odd wad sticking in the barrel They were using eley XL 21g Thankfully they removed it I also have the habit of checking by barrels prior to loading and do'nt use hearing protection when shooting as i like to hear everthing that's going on around me I had one occasion this season where one of my RC prestige cartridges misfired and did'nt go off so was disgarded That was the first time that's happened with these

Have you seen who signed the paper Labour and green party With all that is going on with ( i'll not mention the B word ) Is this not just a rouse to stick thorns into the Tory government Or that they think they can just slip it through as they think the Government will be distracted with all thats going on Where do they stop A large number of big houses and churches the like have lead roof coverings where rainfall runoff runs into waterways Large amount of various species of birds take thier water from the gutters etc from such Have'nt heard of any lead poison reports Perhaps they should concentrate on the plastic polution issue as this is by far the greater threat to the enviroment where they have factual evidence

That was me strimmer_13 and it's bloody lovely stuff is'nt it I was shooting with some French guys and a few mates last week At the end of the day i handed out my sloe whisky They loved it and held their glasses out for more Bottle was emptied in no time Often at shoots at elevenes i'll go to the back of the vehicle only to turn round and everyone is congragated behind me Seems they can sniff it out Enjoy S
