    Many thanks to everyone who has helped here, some good information and contacts, much appreciated. One more question, I am getting confused about the actual material from various sites, so................. Polycarbonate or Perspex/acrylic, and why? Cheers!

    It's a Birchwood 31 Commodore, 1982, later models only had the one window here, mine has two. Cheers

    I would really appreciate some help here please. I need two sheets of Acrylic, cut and drilled to size as pictures, dimensions are 680mm wide, one side 600mm deep the other 680mm and 10mm thick, rounded corners and smooth edges, they will need drilling as the screws indicate on the pics. These are very nearly mirror images of each other except for hinge holes. Can anyone steer me in the direction of a company that can do this for me please? I am prepared to travel a bit and would also be happy to supply plans or take the existing polycarbonate to the company a

    I didn't consider scale as I took the pic but you get some idea from the grass, to add a little, the chick seemed bigger than an adult robin!

    I have an idea, but that's all, found it on a new site I was surveying about 19.00 last night, picture taken with my phone, and then right up close, it appeared uninjured and also fearless, it made no attempt to move as I virtually stuck my phone up its nose to take the second pic. I moved on leaving it untouched, thinking the fox will get at least a snack tonight!

    I trust you get a really good discount for buying in bulk? 2 tons originally and now 1000, you must have a big storage facility!

    Inconsistency of propellant/rim/bullet weight, weather and luck/bad luck. Too few shots to make any real judgement, just the way it happens sometimes, do it again another day and the results will almost certainly be different.

    Good luck to you all, should be a good weekend!

    AA Field 5.51 works best for me, the hunters fly higher and a bit left in mine and don't group as well! Edit, mine is a Falcon running around 26ft lb!

    Do you mean.... Hawke Eclipse 3-12x50 AO IR mil-dot Hawke Eclipse 4-16x50 AO IR mil-dot Either should do, but IR is just a novelty and seldom has a real benefit, and as the Eclipse are no longer made I take it you are getting a good price!

    I work on a garden nursery and can assure you they do. Rabbits teath never stop growing so they wear them down by gnawing everything insight That will be oversize rats :laugh:, rabbits are not well known for gnawing fruit trees, only small ones or saplings perhaps, I do work for a BIG Plant nursery keeping down their rabbit population, they very rarely cause any issue to trees/fruit trees but a lot to the plants and shrubs!

    Thanks everyone...seems mirrored Perspex may be a solution!

    Not that I can find, they all want silly money! Is it just me, I can recall stacks of mirrors in the DIY stores all shapes and sizes £10-£15 (yep, cheap (and nasty) but fine for what I want). They just don't seem to exist anymore, everything starts £40 and some skyrocket, I just need a smallish, simple, cheap, rectangular mirror, with holes in the corners.

    I really could do with some help here please. I'm after a cheap bathroom mirror, frameless, (bevelled if you like but not worried) for the wall. 4 screw holes (not 2), or none, and I'll get mirror fittings. Size max 18 x 12" (46 x 30 cm), Min 15 x 10" (38 x 25cm), it will be mounted landscape fashion not portrait. Now this sounds simple, but they don't seem to exist, I have scoured all types of shops and the web, apart from the fact I'm really struggling to find anything close, the ones I can see are silly money, whatever happened to the days of walking into the DIY store and finding stacks

    What rifle, what application, what distances? I have two, one of the last version and one of the latest version Sidewinders. The new is definitely better, but both are perfectly adequate without being exciting, they are not light thought! Personally I think the RRP is too much, but there are always deals to be had. Never owned a Viper!

    .....or in your shed! :thumbs: :thumbs:

    :yes:

    As already said, Google is your friend. Also remember Remington actually do a detachable magazine version of the 700, so OEM parts are available, I'm not sure of the work involved to fit to a floor plate version though!

    Target shooting is about the search for perfection, odds are you will never get there, all be it 25 or 1000yards. Whilst there is always external competition the main competition is with yourself. If you get bored trying you need another sport!

    Of course its possible, and in the right situation/circumstances not that difficult. I let go 10 shots from my Magtech 7022 in 1.7 seconds at 100 yards Bisley a couple of years back, they were all on the black and most near/in the Bull.

    I am yet to see any case put by anyone for a NEED for anything more than a CZ for field use, some just want pretty wood etc., and are prepared, in some cases, to pay well over double the cost of CZ. I also don't understand heavy (varmint) barrels for virtually any situation in the field, there is no accuracy advantage, just a heavier lump to carry around, but it's down to the individual. Spending more than a CZ costs will give you no advantage of accuracy, reliability, repeatability, etc in the field, I have never heard anyone dump their CZ because they wanted something more accurate o

    Any .223 ammo will stop a fox easily if you put it in the right place, even FMJ. What distance are you finding/shooting most of your fox, it they are all 50-150 yards then stick with a 100 yard zero!
  23. Deker
    You can blow a rabbits head off with a .308 and leave it very edible, or put a .243 V Max or .223 V Max into it and end up like this! Effect is down to ammo, placement and distance!

    Daft, I shoot more foxes with my rimfires than I do with my centrefires, and the HMR is fox suitable according to the new Home Office Guide!
  25. Deker
    What we have here is experimentation/limited choice. Even your .22lr is perfectly capable of stopping rabbits at 200 yards. If I'm off out and know to expect my quarry at 200 yards then I do not reach for my lr, HMR or WMR, but it's business, I have tools for the job, so I use the most appropriate. As well as field work I use my all my rimfires on the range out to 200 yards regularly, I have also used my HMR at 600 yards and eventually got it on the black. Target work is not field work! ATB!
