    I worked in the butchery department at a pig factory on boning line when the building trade collapsed in early 90’s… was like an extension of a building site as I was surrounded by scaffolders and joiners! It was always a fall back option and good money but all the poles fcuked it and it’s a non starter now and money’s the same as back in the 90’s? And yeah I saw a full on knife fight but it was the locals? mcains use to be a good fall back for locals too, lot of my mates parents made a good /comfortable living working there till they started drafting in foreigners! the cou

    Nice work sd? I’ve always preferred finish work get your tea down and get out back home in reasonable time:) It’s crazy how the seasons change over night, had a couple of cold nights in august when I was working all day in a T-shirt then shivering me nuts off at night. Wanted to re zero the .204 the other night but the nights are drawing so fast it was dark by 6.30 and I couldn’t be bothered fathin about in the dark:( like you I’ve been waiting on a cut that never comes cos it’s rained so much! had the pooch out training yesterday and he’s pretty good at tracking fox?

    theres still a fair few knocking about round this way but I know what you mean! the sheep farm on the moor near me only lost one lamb this year because I got on top of them, getting a few a night isn't going to happen any more but it got me a free rein for the deer that are plentiful not that I shoot a lot of them.

    I'll be amazed if I can still do it in ten years.. working price might make the money but it wrecks your body

    been thinking about a lighter fox gun! handled a few different ones I liked and it was a toss up between a fluted 22-250 or a t3x 243 but then ive been chewing over it and ive got a more than capable 6.5 that will do deer and fox and has but its a bit long and I like to keep a real scope sat on it for the deer. the reason ive been thinking about a change is times caught up with me and my shoulder is fcuked from 30 odd years of plastering and laying bricks.. so the .204 ive got im well happy with its an ace fox gun but its a heavy lump.. bought it second hand with a sh

    I’m in agreement with you on that one stav, it’s not surprising ppl look on shoot days as they do… even when your into the life it’s boom boom from 9am till 3pm every day bar Sunday and when the guns turn up you watch millions of pounds worth of cars roll past:(

    Even the birds on the big estate shoot look scratty and they breed there own, there’s that many put down it’s unreal… I call it the factory shoot cos it’s non stop! I was out rabbiting last week and the birds don’t even bother going up to roost … it was a bloody nightmare

    The birds over this way are right scraggy things, took a couple the other day but there was nowt on them, the hen was half the size of the cock but the dog didn’t mind? he ate the the lot, now he’s on with the hen

    My mate likes the 40grn v-max in his tikka 3x sure it’s a 1-14 twist
  18. si brown
    It’s way different over this side, your ar’s all have a lot faster twist rate than our .223’s majority over here are 1/14- 1/12 I use to use 55grn with ramshot exterminator! 75grn is a good round for nighttime foxing in .243 as it flys pretty flat for a good range.. you can only use .223 for two of the smaller breed of deer and I don’t have either species in the north of England so don’t own a .223 .204@32grn for fox’s and 6.5x55@129grn for the deer.. both work well. your bench looks like mine, same press and G clamps holding everything down??

    Yeah.. it’s a strange old world! I had a Brittany spaniel who use to play with a badger and a free roaming rabbit that I use to lock in on a night that once pulled a random Yorkshire terrier, I had to evict it out of its hutch cos it thought it was stopping the night?
