Do you measure their length , or weight them ?

I would be interested in what size they were.

We never have but one we shot last Friday night after being gutted and head removed it took 3 of us to lift into the back of the truck it was well over 200lb it was a big Boar

Tidy job mate and some good "christening" of the new rifle. I have a 1500 and cant fault them.

 

Keep up the good work.
