    I did say they use it on Elk,and I agree it's a lot of gun. Info comes from, oddly enough, several hand loading sites as well as Wikipedia. Re boar I have to disagree. The world record heaviest boar was a sow(!) shot in Herefordshire, 518 lbs. The boar with the longest tushes was also shot in England. According to Wild Boar Britain the British wild boar is as large as any in Eastern Europe. Originally from mainly French stock, they have been crossed with other populations from both Eastern and Western Europe, giving hybrid vigour. The size is now under threat from trophy hunting.

    Who/what is a RANGER in Ireland?? What power do they have? All incidents have 2 sides and this sounds very smelly!!!

    OK, as with so many things there is no right or wrong answer! Shooting a springer from a Bipod does have an interesting effect but if you work on it you can make it happen and it will be more consistent than you think. It needs practice and almost constant Bipod use. If you are an occasional springer shooter, and an even more occasional bipod springer shooter you are probably wasting your time and money with one!!

    You won't go wrong with the 452. I suggest you get the T3 Hunter or the Remington...forget the T3 Lite! Glass is personal and can get expensive!

    I tend to use chocolate as rat bait usually, works pretty well on the whole and easier to carry around than a Deer carcase

    Is that because any calibre that has been used in a war is not allowed in some European countries? eg 7 x 57 Not sure where you get your information from Ric and I'm not sure what you call Europe...but remember in Europe, you get Elk/Moose, Bear, Mountain Cats, Wolves, and bigger Wild Boar than here..as well as a few things I've forgotten.....

    This has been done many times, if you have a search you will find a lot of references/comment!! Good place to start is the Deben Max Pro and Lightforce. Look carefully at the packages available before reaching a decision!

    I'm sure you will get on fine but the T3 Lite is probably the worst balanced gun on the market, especially if you fit a mod. It took me about 2.5 years, 2 barrel cuts, 5 scopes, 2 sets of mounts, 3 moderators and eventually about 6oz (150g)of lead in the butt to sort it out...oh yes..... and a lot of money! It's great now, enjoy the journey!!!

    This is a bit difficult as you have already said he cannot support your application. Bottom line is, whatever he says is likely to happen! Any reasonable FEO will make it clear they are not happy and give you the chance of withdrawing your application. It may seem a technicality, which it is really, but withdrawing your application is better than a refusal. That being the case I suggest discussing with the BASC immediately, to get their view on the situation and options! Not trying to be funny but you will have to be 100% honest with them and tell them everything!!

    Did you see this a few weeks back, I got this together with Mr L pulling the trigger...this is 12mm industrial Steel Plate, the depth of the .308 and .243 is the same to the mm, the difference is the hole diameter! 100 yards shots!! Front and back.....

    Just a hint mate.If you fill the cavity with salt(Be sure to pack it tightly) and leave it for 2-3 weeks then simply tap the salt out you get a better result plus you dont get the discolouration you get with meths and it won't stink of meths for the next two years. Also if you cut the base of charlies tale as you say you don't need to split any sticks simply grab hold tight with both hands put your foot into the flanks of charlie and pull as hard as you can,A little twist to get it started and "pop" of it comes. Please dont think I'm dissing your methods mate because im honestly not, just tr

    Totally agree with Snap Shot here! I have .243 and .308, I have no axe to grind with either camp, but if you have to get just one rifle the .243 is the one!

    This lot could be worth a look, they always used to deliver, think they still do!! http://www.justcartridges.com/
  14. Deker
    JSR and Nikko Sterling also worth a look, as well as others already mentioned. On top of a rimfire you can get away with a lot and there is a lot to choose from, check out as many as you can before you part with money!

    I'm a bit confused what that was all about... The difference in range will be inches (if that) and the difference in spread, (which will be tiny), can more than easily be dealt with by chokes...and why will 32 inch barrels kick you more than 30 or 28
  16. Deker
    I would suggest sticking to 28 or 30 to start with for clays and abit of rough, 32 can be a bit of an effort sometimes!!
  17. Deker
    Nikon do them and SMK used to do a real cheap opne, probably a few others as well!! Not that popuar for hunting for fairly obvious reasons!!!
  18. Deker
    Yep, that is indeed the one I was after, many thanks, and many thanks again to Richie for posting it to start with

    Yes, not bad at all. The fact that you can move faster and not worry about back stops is a bonus. The gun will only be worth a few pounds so it matter not about the rain, blood or mud. 30mm mounts normally fit the barrel, so you can sling an LED torch under the barrel but a head lamp is better with the shotgun. The only real issue is sound and some farmers hate the sound of the shotguns at night, would you be happy if it were your back garden someone was shooting in? I've used shotguns, airguns and rim fires for lamping, in fact I have a single barrel .410 here which I solely use for lampi

    There is always the human and weather elements to consider, but some barrels just don't like some ammo! With a group like that something doesn't seem right! Got myself a new 22WMR yesterday and out Zeroing it today, the trigger is terrible, (heavy and creeps for a fortnight before it breaks) so needs some work, but I managed 0.75 inch groups at 90 yards (I would have been laying in a massive puddle if I pushed it to 100 yards) with 2 different ammos!

    Much appreciated jamie , but the one I had in mind was a pictorial guide put together by one of the members of THL!

    shut ur mouth you..wat da fuk would you know? Chill!!!! It ain't worth it

    A while back now someone posted an excellent pictorial guide to fitting the Brooks trigger kit into a CZ Rimfire. I seem to be having a senior moment as I can't find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Cheers!!!

    I'm off out at 13.30 this afternoon with similar quarry in mind!!! ATB!!!

    If you have the inclination and the SGC and the money you can get whatever you like and have it fitted to you. ON the other hand you could always get something like you are using and grow into it! By the time you apply, save up for the gun and get it you could already have grown a lot!!
