  1. Google gmail and follow the link may not have understood your question exactly Check your zoom setting - you can change by holding CTRL and either use your mouse wheel or the + or - keys
  2. Bother! Nevermind - I'll still get the breeks and waistcoat if that's alright. Let me know if the coat comes off - would be very nice to have a matching set.
  3. Thanks for passing that on @blueeyes - if you could check how deep it is - think the SL5 is around 270 deep and RL5 would be 350mm approx
  4. I'll get the Schoffel stuff 1,2 and 4 please.
  5. And the barrel band fitting is in a slightly different place from memory, it can be overcome with some faffing but generally you'd want the correct size stock
  6. Can I have second dibs if that doesn't work out - I'll drive down and get them 👍 Cheers
  7. I used them on the shed as a kid as they were the only thing I could reliably hit. I passed up on a ratcatcher gun for a gat and a BB gun. What a fool I was. I blame my father, he should have done what he knew was best 😂
  8. Well tonight has been interesting. I absolutely adore the grey partidge, since I began to get into birds and later fieldsports no other species has captured my imagination as they have. They are the litmus test for farming working with nature. I would never shoot a grey, our syndicate has them but there is probably 10 maybe 15 pairs and the farm and syndicate doesn't do enough to of the hard work it takes to bring the numbers to a harvestable surplus. I was lucky enough to be invited on a friend's shoot in a neighboring county, I didn't take a shot all day but someone rightly or wrongly I don't know had accounted for a brace of greys. At the end of the shoot stood around a modest bag. I sensed a hesitance by the other guns to pick up this pair, so embarrassed and conflicted I picked the birds and tonight prepared then for the table. It was a strange thing to prepare something I admire above all other wild things, it was part prep, part learning journey. They really have the most incredible plumage, they're more pretty than the best twitchett painting. They survive against incredible odds as young and as adults. Yet here they are as fair for the table. I will do my best to do them justice, however I hope they're the last I eat - actually I take that back. I hope that one day through better farming and management they are prevalent to the point that me harvesting a brace would have no bearing on my conscience. What do you guys think?
  9. I would be having a word to say do you think 60k is acceptable for these to fail - it's a bit embarrassing really. However the warranty is unlikely - but may be worth asking the dealership to ask Mitz if they are willing to cover it, I don't think that is unreasonable.
  10. Yeah there YouTube channel especially for deer and wildfowl is a treat
