    That looks like a different design of RWS box to mine, anyway, I do quite like them, but just bought a couple of boxes a while back to try and they work well in my 452. Since then vast quantities of CCI and Winchesters subs have come my way so haven't touched the RWS for ages!

    I watched for some reason. It was definitely designed to be pro their existence, without any concrete evidence, a similar show could easily have been presented disproving their existence simply with different editing. As I have said numerous times, I fully accept that years back some were deliberately released and no doubt a few escaped, but as regards breeding populations, or even survivors now, the odds must be incredibly low!

    Fun or serious, sometimes a fine line, anyway, I have time for SD and FD so hope this is sorted!

    Don't know his intended use but I love my .22WMR.

    Whatever that group of videos shows it doesn't even begin to convince me that is a BIG cat! June 2017 this thread started, and people have been looking for them a LOT longer than that, fakes, distorted pictures, drunks, etc., etc, still not a single bit of proof. Seems odd to me if they are out there, just saying!!!

    Do what you like, there will be every answer from Never, to Every time I use it. MY centrefires get a Proper clean every time, my rimfires less often these days. My .22LRs are exclusive sub sonic lead, and whilst the ammo (powder) is filthy, they seem to work pretty well for a while. My WMR is faster and copper coated so needs more attention. My HMR is a pain to clean primarily because of the tiny bore. ALL of them benefit from keeping clean. All I would say is, if you are going to clean do it CAREFULLY, THOROUGHLY and PROPERLY. A quick cleaning attempt is likely to rai

    its very quiet...what happened to Pez79?

    Always considered 20lb+ was a big fox! I have one site that does seem to deliver them more than most, but 20 pounders not that common for me!

    Anyway, what are peoples opinions on the latest big black cat sighting video???

    Only just noticed that, as far as I was aware the 42 were made in Australia, are they made in the USA as well, if so, are you saying they are different to the Australian ones?????
  11. Deker
    Not used the 42 at all yet, but got 500+ of new (old stock) 40g from a pal a few weeks back, seem fine! Have they actually stopped making the 40g, I think they have?

    My words exactly some years ago when I took all those squirrels out of a site, I can't even remember myself now, I think it was about 170 total. One off job, the place was infested, as it happens it was me that did it, many could have done the same, probably never be repeated. 4.5 days on site, this was after a couple of days!!
  13. Deker
    Never had 10!

    ?? but I sort of know what you mean, the farms, etc I regularly look after just keep going with steady 1-2 maybe 3 a session. I seem to get a lot of one off school work and get some of the highest nightly totals from them, 5-6 is quite common in a night. I remember one school over Hayes way I took a total of 15 over 3 nights (biggest number on the last night), and one in sight of City Airport, 7 in one night, but there were plenty more at both. They never want regular visits, they will call me back when the numbers get to high again!

    I actually like a clear night and full moon, never seemed to be a problem. I can also remember a fare few full moon nights I have gone all night with just the scope, rather than any lighting or NV used at all!

    Obviously Photoshop!!!!

    Whatever, I have a large farm a couple of miles north east of Oxford. All the other usual suspects, but Roe, Fallow, and Muntjac, in that order. A few Hare as well, that is uncommon for me as I next to never see any in Berkshire!
  18. Deker
    Not used 200gn, 180 heaviest I've used, but the 150 work fine for me anyway!

    Never really found a need for anything but CZ for field use, and never found a need to upgrade to newer models, all mine are 452...except the bottom semi, a Magtech! (it was daft cheap, about £125 brand new I remember).

    .308 has been around for a long time for good reason! It does a lot of things well and is generally easy to find with a decent selection of weights/types. Just the same it's what works well for any individual in their circumstances. 6.5 Creedmoor is about and works for many as well. I got my .308 primarily for Boar and Target fun, occasional deer, (I have never really found a specific need for it on deer in the UK, my .243 has always been fine) but .308 hits the Boar hard and they fall down. (it needs to hit them hard, they "can" be bulky and tough, much tougher than deer)

    I'm with you all, and the time I've spent looking for small rimfire cases in long grass as well.....how is it you see them land, go to pick them up and they have disappeared???
  22. Deker
    It is strange, I don't shoot as many deer as some of you but steady, I don't have issues with my landowners, the Deer are seen as "pests" on all the sites I deal with them. That almost always means they have a cost negativity to the owners, either tree, grass, fence, animal feed, crop, whatever damage, so there is no love lost! Anyway, the thought of something along the lines of a DSC being mandatory is disheartening to say the least!!
  23. Deker
    Magpie, squirrel, rabbit, fox, deer on this estate, specifically just here, rabbit!
  24. Deker
    Sitting and waiting, sitting and waiting, we all have days like it, just after 19.00 through to 20.00, not a sign!!! Actually the whole Estate was quiet from earlier to much later, one of those days!!!
  25. Deker
    Well, a lot of it makes sense, but there is a strong suggestion that everyone who shoots deer will need to be qualified! Presumably DSC, unless they come up with something different. I have never been a fan of DSC, (if you want to do it fine, but mandatory, NO!) and I know a lot of Gamekeepers on Large High Profile Estates that don't have them, so how will all that work then?
