  1. It's not just the police that get let off lightly, What about that footballer that got caught being over a hundred mph? 28 day ban and a fine which he could prolly pay with the loose change in his ash tray

  2. Yeah Cranfield, The last 2 years have flown past. I enjoyed my time away up norht but it was just too far away from everything. the nearest corner shop was 40 miles!!! My new job is around 45 mins from my mum and dads house and all my friends.

    Think i'll prolly go with the 22.250 but i'll have a word with the keeper there and see what he thinks. I think i'll go for a stainless sinthetic or maybe a laminate stock......depending on my wages!!

  3. Hey lad's As some of you may know i have spent my last 2 years on a highland estate where i have worked towards my svq level 2 in Gamekeeping, However. as i am now moving onto my hnc i had to chance estates and i am now moving to a lowland shoot with 9000 Pheasants, Duck ponds and Roe stalking. As my .25.06Rem is Prolly a bit big for foxes and other winged vermin i'll be shooting at, Im planning 2 new rifles. I think i'll go for a .17hmr and either a 22.250 or a .243, Need a bit of help choosing between the 22.250 and the .243, Any suggestions? Anyone got experience with either calibers and what makes of rifle to go for? Thinking about a Sako finnlight But as yet im not too sure. Any help would be greatly apericiated!!!

  4. Hey mate, I was out at continental shooting supplies last week. They had a second hand lowlander in stock. Not sure of the spec but it was nice! I think it was in at the 800 mark, Give him a phone up. Pretty well stocked shop too. You can trie all the second had guns on the range. Also try the gun smiths in egelsham. They had a few in too! Spoilt for choice. His number is in the phone book! Good luck!

  5. Hey guys. I got a 5 shot on my fac, but you can get pretty much anything up here. I got a cheap franchi for £150, The guy in the shop said it would only fire heavy loads which was what i wanted it for......fox drives. Tried it with a range of carts. Takes anything from 24 gram 7 and a halfs to 42 gram bb's.......Only thing i need now is some foxes to shoot and we're away!!!!

  6. Hey guys.

    I have a ram jacket too and it leaks at the same points as remytherussell point's out. It was pretty good up until the end of last years hind season but i think i wore out the elbows with all the crawling. Just waiting for my new Duck Dri jacket to come. Have a look at the Wearite/ milair jackets. The underkeeper here got one before the stag's this year, Seems not too bad at £95.

  7. Hey all at pw. Still on my gamekeeping course at the same hell hole, well, Not that bad really. Just to say i got my fac and a few new toys, Sako 75-25.06 and a sako finfire .22. Making a dent in our rabbit population. :lol:

  8. Hello everyone, Just to say i am alive and well and enjoying my new outdoor lifestyle. Got the plesure of shooting my first stag a few weeks back. Not many pigeons about though. Seen about 12 since i've been here. Caught my first salmon and shot my first fox. Things are good. everyone has been ever so friendly. No t regreting my move one bit. Got my PC up here now but, Alas no internet. I see there has been a few changes. Glad it's still up and running. Got my driving test on wednesday so hopefully i'll get to drive home at christmas. Take care, Everygoodnamewastaken
