  1. If you can find a SH Hd38 they should be coming down in price now.
  2. 9hz and the core doesn't have the range.
  3. Nope....as I was explaining to some one the other day. Why skimp on The tools for the job. If a fox gets in and kills 100 birds, on shoot day that's £45 a bird. There you go £4500...then later on in the year a fox kills 6 lambs each with a potential yeild of £100 that's £600. All ready you have £5100 of damage, a high end thermal or night vision is around that. So in the scale of things it's not that bad
  4. Ooooh .222 I miss mine. I was making good accurate ammo at around 9p a round. A lot cheaper than HMR
  5. Dog yesterday evening with the .308 Then a vixen later on with the .22-250 2+619 = 621
  6. Need a mortgage to buy the ammo ha ha
  7. yes then you have no shed left after....but at least you got the ****er
  8. My wife had a .17 hornet, very good little round. But now she prefers the .204 Ruger, i think if your going to go .17 centre fire, you might as well get a .20 give you the extract ooomph
  9. pretty easy.....few things you can do. 1) Buy some IR cylumes, go down last light, range them out 100, 200, 300. 2) Push a number of cylumes into the ground for example for 100m put in 1, for 200m put in 2 300 - 3 3) Obviously crack the cyclumes and push them in so inly a inch or so is showing (enough so you can see them but not too much so it blinds your vision. 4) set your aiming markers on a piece of whit card, and them sit tight in your OP ready for the bunnies to come out. 5) Kill everything! or you can buy one of my super expensive range finders...that is if you have a spare £570
  10. Thermal rifle scopes are truly pointless unless you have the money to buy a good military spec one. The thermal cross over at certain points of the day/night can render the scope pretty much useless and unless you have a very high spec one target ID is iffy and there is room for you shooting something you don't want too. Stick with thermal spotters and NV scopes, unless you have deep pockets.
  11. Iv used Peltor for the last 8 years of my career. It's certainly the toughest and well made. My set have been to three different war zones, and used for numerous shoot days....been soaked, been subject to extreme heat. And still they work....enough said really
  12. Not saying your like this but in general dog owners of late seem to think they rule the country side. "On a lead" seems to not apply to pretty much every dog owner. The damage its doing in the countryside is unreal. Iv lost count of sheep Iv had ravaged by dogs. Not to mention to disturbance the the wildlife we are all trying to protect. So maybe NT have had their last straw and insists on these methods to protect its assets
  13. I wish Forestry Commission would ban dogs in the forest! But as for NT, I don't see as there is any necessity to ban dogs. It's a very well managed site??? Strange one
  14. Yes if your a prossfessional fox controller thermal and night vision is the only way. I calculated it up my NV is worth over £5k not including rifle etc.
  15. The same I'm only concerned with prickets right now. Plus a warning to fox shooters, learn where the rutting stands. Iv nearly on two occasions walked into a very grumpy rutting fallow
  16. I'll do it in 2 visits in Wiltshire if you need. No charge as we simply don't use any poison. Rats become tolerant of most poison nowadays
  17. Depends how you look at it, 1 fox can do hundreds or thousands of pounds worth of damage
  18. I got bit by a Eygptian Cobra once.....the 4 hours for casevac was the longest of my life. After that never go near a snake again in my life
  19. I have no dramas with Scottish independence as long as it doesn't cost me anything. Good luck to the Scottish people if that's what the decide.
  20. Buddy I'll have it for my wife, we are just waiting for the SGC to come through.
  21. She reminds me of a really **** baddy on a action film. Not so much but the firm who owns all the oil fields processing up there is a subsidiary of OPEC anyway Scotland can charged what they want, eventually the Arabs will get ****** off and do something about it. It's not that oil rich anyway
