in the market for a 223. recommendations anyone
Meece replied to tench's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
It seems nowadays as if a gun seems to be a bit of personal bling rather than a tool to do a job. A scratch is the end of the world and some call them their little baby ect, ect. I've seen old guns like Parker Hale's or Bsa's that will shoot one hole groups but most people wouldn't look at them because they ain't current models. Cz's are blooming good and I knew a bloke who had an old Bruno fox 222 with a double set trigger. That had, had so many rounds through it and it was really tatty like he has a bit of bailer twine for a sling but it was so, so accurate. It depends on how deep your p -
Yes. I've experienced The same with new keepers. They obviously think that the regulars know the ground and are going to be out poaching !! The fact that pheasants don't have any real value and that you cant give the things away doesn't seem to cross their thought pattern. On the Fox drives the regulars know the bits where Charlie will come to and the ditches and hedges where he will slip out the side. Instead of taking this knowledge and using it They bring in blokes from elsewhere and they sustain heavy losses from Charlie because Charlie knows the ground and checks it out 24/7. As to no

Never heard of them so I did a like research and came up with this >>> https://www.optics-trade.eu/uk/contact-us.html. looks like they are in Slovenia ?? Dunno ?

It looks like the queen has offered him the revolver. Belatedly. He's finnished. And good ridance.

The US has gotten really silly in that hardly anything can be exported. Even down to a trigger guard. Do they not know that scopes ect can be bought from virtually any country on the planet. Still its their sales that they are harming. Good ole mum & dad.

Hmmm. I've just had a trawl online and I can't even find anyone over here offering that model for sale over here. All that comes up are .com sites from America. Something that might come into play is that if you bought one from here or elsewhere is that, are you going to get hit with import duty ? I bought a mec reloader from the state's and I got hit hard with over a hundred pounds import tax and a £9 admin fèe to send a letter to inform me that there was a tax to pay !!! Before it would be sent on to me,,,.. The total barstards. You might be lucky andget a black Friday deal on it over

Well I suppose that they did reply. What were you after? You never know whos got what.

In the summer quantities of guts put in the hedges around the property to encourage flying blue bottle invertibrates. Then After harvest time quantities of rodents installed to do their best and chew on electric cables ect. Wiss is like that bloke who thought that he could live in harmony with a couple of grizzly bears. They did live in harmony but in the process they ate him !! He became a bit of natural plant fertilizer. The blue bottles and rodents won't care who he is either.

I think that Randy andy has just dug a very deep hole that he could well be buried in. He is well known for his reckless arrogance and it seems as if he may have bulldozed this stupid interview through against advice. Apparently a senior advisor jacked the other week. I dont Think that he was after under age meat but that his reckless arrogance got him c**** struck and very soon he was up to his axles in guts. That woman fixer for Epstein would have made sure that the girl/girls were well warmed up and greased for the occation. It's a case of you do something for me and I'll do something

Bump...... one for the Norfolk boys.

Anyone for watersking ? It's got about 200 horse under the bonnet and is good for about 35 mph. ? You could have won a speedboat..

Tracing family trees is difficult . Back when the population was less literate than it is now, ( hard to believe when you see the spelling and grammar in some/ most of the post on here,??) names were misspelt and sons and daughters had the same first name as their mother or father. This makes it difficult to follow the line. I did a bit and the learning curve on these ancestry sites is pretty steep. It surprised me that things that the olds had said suddenly became key pieces in the puzzle. I found links on my Father's side that went back to the 1500s in the Birmingham area and also to the

I've shot my .22lr on a 600 yard range using std Eley match. It was a reasonably still day. By trial and error, watching the puffs of dirt on the range to the target I put the crosshair on the bull and then raised the crosshair up so that the bottom of the vertical crosshair was on the top of the bank above the target. This must have been 10 to 15 ft vertical drop ( no way of measuring the drop distance). The bullets soon got there and wacked through the target with a fair accuracy. You would not have wanted to be standing there . I found this link to a bit of interesting info. 》》》》》 ht

It was a bit of a thermal shock, first I thought that it was a mistake. Then that it was my system and when that didn't work, I thought that the site had collapsed. Like being notified that your redundant by email. Stil the spaniel appreciated the downtime.

I don't understand peoples thought patern on this. The bullet is supersonic. Anyone that thinks that putting a silencer on the front of a 17 will silence the gun is living in la la land . If you put a 22 carat gold silencer on it it will still be the same. No mod will silence a supersonic bullet Ok the can will muffle and diffuse the muzzle sound a bit but so would a baked bean tin fixed on the front. Unless I shoot near buildings I don't bother using a silencer. I wear ear plugs for my own protection and it isn't as if I'm shooting whole mags off. I do need ear protection from muzzle bla
-
Minor problem with that idea. A 1.7hmr bullet is supersonic and it doesn't matter what silencer is used. It won't silence it. It might diffuse the sound direction a bit but it will still be the same. That's why I use .22lr with subs. Simple.

Now that King Nige has stated that they aren't going to stand in any conservative held seat, is Borris going to reciprocate in liebor held seats that the Tories would never take and give King Nige a leg up. It would make a lot of sense to focus resources in the areas where they would have the best effect.

When I was a lad it snowed every year and father had the local wheelwright and blacksmith knock us up a family size sledge. There was a field that eveveryone descended on to go sledgjng. nowadays IF we get any snow at all it's pretty much gone by lunchtime. I cant stand the bloody stuff. All it does is cost money and causes disruption.

That reminds me of the old warrener videos where Charlie had slaughtered a young lads banties. The warrener said that people always said, "how did charlie know that we hadn't locked up the coop" ? The warrener replied " Charlie checks out the hen house, EVERY NIGHT" !!! I've baited up and sat out on a tower many times waiting. I cut sticks as range markers because it loòks different at night. I find watching the antics of charlie both fascinating and amusing. One time I was watching one and suddenly it raced off the field like it had been shot at. It went straight through the hed

and to be honest I don't care if he is lying. at least he's trying to do something. and not just coming out with statements to lull the brain dead into voting for their pockets to be emptied. Sheep. I once knew a bloke that told all of the women he had a big cock. I didn't check the truth of his statements. One could always vote for the MONSTER RAVING LOONEY PARTY. BECAUSE THEY ARE PROBABLY THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE TELLING ANYTHING LIKE THE TRUTH. All the others are in a bidding game of I can tell a bigger whopper than he. Iiebor are just talking stupid about spending the amount of mone

Thanks for the reply. My setup is 223 topped with a 6x42 Leupold scope and using a 55grn Sierra gameking 1390 propelled by a FULL charge of 4895. This is quite a hot load and I have worked it up over a period of time. This is around 3450 which is only a couple of hundred less than a 22.250 but only about half of the charge wt. I usually briefly use white now because they are used to seeing white from cars ect and it illuminates the target better than red ect especially over cultivated ground. I set at about 1" high at about 150. As stated I very rarely shoot at long range because firstly mo

What is your setup? Rifle, cal, cartridge, bullet type /wt ? we're your white or red or I/r and did you have to give any hold over. Lots of questions but alĺ valid and interesting. I use a 223 and have taken then out to about 300 paces but that sort of range is not normal for me. Where possible I try to get them in to about eighty paces. At this range I can positively id the target .
-
The mechanical side is ok and for what they are their quite impressive but the weak point are the batteries. People say it's New technology but unless you are using them really regularly the batteries fail. How many on here have battery drills that are like new but the battery packs dont hold charge. Ps, I think that the multi use battery pack for the Stihl which can be planted Into other stihl battery powered tools is over £300. It is quite a lump

Good ridance to these vermin. And I hope that all of the other turncoats, chancers, trough divers and other ne're-do-wells who are standing as independants get their p45s issued. The ones who aren't standing ... more to follow......MPs are standing down at the election? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49607907

over the years, the water where I live has changed. At one time if I filled a glass with water and held it up to the sunlight i could see bits of chalk that made it cloudy. We had a nail brush that was used weekly to scrub out the inside of the kettle. The inside of the kettle was like it had been plastered. We used to fill a jug filter but the filters got clogged really quickly. Then they put in a new large water main and the water changed overnight. Whether the chalk in the water clogģed up the water companies pipework, valves and other stuff I don't know but there must have been a big ho
