Walker570 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Been there done that but I was three and a half hours away on a once in a lifetime chance for a gold medal roe buck on a strictly private piece of ground. Thankfully my host just ribbed me for a couple of weeks an made the offer again.....still didn't find the gold but had a great time and came home with a bronze. Did I feel a paper hat ? Yep and got treated as such. Getting to Gatwick without our rifles....well that is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember going ferretting once and my mate forgot the ferrets 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I never removed the bolts in my rifles, apart from when cleaning, but have left magazines, ammo etc many a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I never remove bolts for storage because I WILL forget to take them with me. First time I ever took my wife stalking with me I forgot the ammo. I blamed her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClemFandango Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I keep my bolts and ammo in a separate cabinet to my rifles. Never forgotten ammo or bolt but I bet it will happen one day. Not the end of the world but embarrassing none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the end of the world but embarrassing none the less. A right pain if you've travelled a few hours to your ground... Avoid all this by keeping bolts in rifles 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longstrider Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Never forgotten the rifle bolt, but I've driven some distance to go pike fishing and arrived only to realise that the rod was still at home .. 2 days later my fishing buddy arrived at the same place (having taken the you-know-what unmercilessly out of me earlier) and he'd left his reel at home.

strimmer_13 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Dunno how many times I've had to hand load my brno as I cant find the mag. Usually find it at the end of the night in the glove box under all the paperwork and sweets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I once drove forty miles to sort a “big rabbit problem”. I took 150 rounds of .22 subsonic with me. When I got there I had forgotten the mag for the BRNO. strimmer-13 obviously knows how fiddly it is to hand feed a BRNO. Worse still we only managed 5 rabbits all night. The man with the “big rabbit problem” was delighted. He thought that was a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
