You gotta laugh at some of the advice from the organic, lactose intolerant townies. Bread and milk has been the staple diet of many ferrets for hundreds of years.....now we hear people suggesting they must watch their sugar and salt levels. b*****ks they're ferrets not a vegan hippy couples only child.

.22wmr is a great choice if you want to shoot to twice 22lr effective range with twice the knockdown. The ammo is too expensive for "plinking" @ 20pence a shot but for killing things out too 100 metres which is where % of game is harvested it can't be beat.

Garden gun is a shotgun not a rifle. sgc required to possess one.

I use the same cleaning rod from a .22 to a 308. Just alter the amount of oiled kitchen roll wrapped around a .22 phospher bronze. You want to choose one bullet/load and use it for everything.

Jackson rifles will supply a replacement at 60% new cost ie £125. I've just replaced a 5 year old one but a 2 year old one, I'd be more hesitant over. 6 months from when I saw rust blister to when I finally traded it back. First time last week I thought it sounded a bit louder and you could blow through hole (about 3 inches back from front end) Spoke to Jacksons and their service was brilliant, had a new one direct within 48 hours.

A .30 calibre mod. works equally well on a 243. So just tidy the end with an 8mm? drill. A 90% effective moderator is a better option than buying a replacement.imo.

Thanks for producing that; I saw Brian Mitchell briefly at gamefair but missed seeing the long service awards. We 're indebted to guys of their ilk.

2008 harvest price....£125/ton. If it keeps raining and is a difficult harvest and the drier is running all the time it may go up a £ or 2. If the sun shines through August/early Sept. it'll come down a £ or 2. Bagging it up will add £10/20 so diy.

I would think that this very site acts as the primary marketplace for "dubiously acquired" dogs. Take a look at for sale section and tell me that all this... it's a lad I know , who has them but he has no computer so I'll pass you his number lark..doesn't stink of stolen dog! Hunting Life has much to commend it but some of the adverts/advertisers! OK as long as it's not your dog thats gone mentality.

Only believe half of what you read on internet........ English pointers.

The rear driveshaft has a sliding splines in a cup joint which are prone to losing their splines! Result no rear wheel drive which due to weight distribution means v.v. little off road traction (unless you reverse everywhere.) The job is easy enough fix with a haynes manual and about £180 worth of parts. You cant weld this one as it needs to slide with suspension/swinging arm motion.

It's £185 for 12 months L200 but it's the fuel not the tax you need to worry about 28 mpg on road half that off, who cares what the road tax is? A quad bike in the back of a proton jumbuck makes more sense each passing day.

Thanks for input, wondering whether an electric feeder might be a good solution cos without hand feeding the adlib feeding from a hopper is much of problem in that they get fat and lazy? Although the hopper or weekly heap of tailings gets them less humanised.

All tips, advice appreciated. 2 small shoots I'm involved with have a pond apiece and keep wanting to utilise the water for a duck drive. Rarely do the duck fly well. Anyone who has experience of sucess with showing reared duck care to comment on their secrets/essentials?

Take the barrelled action into your local engineering works and ask them who they'd recommend..... chances are he'll say " I'll sort that one evening for £20." Despite what the gun trade would like you too believe it's not rocket science, more GCSE metal work! Plus most engineering workshops have cnc lathes and highly skilled operators who do 50 hours a week, every week on a lathe. As for proofing after a muzzle thread, that is farcical, what pressure is there at the muzzle?.... your going to put a tin plate can on there and you don't envisage that buckling under the strain.
