Traded the Jimny for a Freelander 2. manual gear box. 35000 miles.

Up in North Yorkshire most of the stubble has been ploughed out and drilling is ongoing. Very little pigeon or crow activity at the moment. Was directed to the game rearing area of my permission. loads of rats in the hedge back even in day light. Out with the air rifle later today.

Had a couple of both of them. Both brilliant cars my preference would be a Yeti, but I do not have kids. I have noticed the prices of good Yeti's have gone crazy.

Seems a bit mad. At the moment I have a 2020 Jimny which is still worth £24000 according to all of the we buy your car sites. I use the Jimny for short journeys plus driving my permissions, which are usually wet grass, rutted tracks etc. I would like to sell the Jimny and spend approx. £10000 on a similar but slightly bigger 4X4. On the list of possibilities could be. Freelander 2. Suzuki Grand Vitara. Skoda Yeti or any other vehicles that would fit the bill, Disco 4 would be too big. Defender too expensive. Any Ideas ?

Colin lad if you can get the "good" pin out I will make you a couple on my lathe.

Know anybody with a small lathe ? dead easy to make a couple out of silver steel. I made a couple for my old SXS.

I recently purchased a Investarms 20 bore. The stock was finished with polyurethane varnish that started to life within weeks of use, I have strpped the stock back to bare wood. What should I use to protect the bare wood ?

There is a 5 metre one on the bay

Thanks for the reply, It's not as bad at the one in the photo, but I have only had the gun for a couple of months. I have had it out about 6 times and noticed the varnish is starting to lift where trigger hand grips the stock.

I recently purchased the above gun, The varnish appears to be lifting on the stock. Would it be worthwhile removing the stock sanding the varnish off then using stock oil to give it a good finish ?

I have the Bronze sporter. Bought it mint secondhand for £450 it does what it needs to do with no fuss. Shot 60 crows last week in a 4 hour session. Not sure how a more expensive gun could have done any better.

As the weather has warmed up a fair bit. I put some decoys, net and poles in a ruck sack and walked up to some maise stubble 10 minutes from our house, Had a nice 4 hours in a mild wind. Got 60 crows and 1 pigeon. This time last week I would have frozen to death, spring is on it's way. Great to be out again.

My Gen4 Jimny is brilliant, all my shooting gear goes in the back, will go everywhere my Defender did.

Thanks all for the replies. It's to fit on my HW100 .177. Will a Photon focus down to 30 yds ?

Looking to get a night vision scope for ratting, do not one of the screen type versions, What is the cost of a low end IR scope. 30 yard range ?
