    Yes, but I want the proper thing, or similar from a third party!

    Anyway, anyone know where I can get a recoil pad for a Remington 700 SPS PLEASE?
  3. Deker
    To be honest, mine has done me well, accurate and reliable, but now the silly recoil pad issue. I am looking to replace it with a Tikka to join my 2 others, simply because I want to, no particular issues. I bought it new about 11 years ago and whoever ends up with it will get a good one.....even Remington make occasional good ones!

    Seems to be a reasonable selection of pads for them in the US (and not keen to ship to UK) but the UK as always is sadly lacking.

    Its the stock and pad combination, that's the problem, its not about sanding a pad to fit specifically, although that would be a bit tricky. The pad has a protruding lip all round so it locates snugly into the stock. Most universal fitting pads have a flat back so very difficult to size/sand/fit snugly.

    Its a Synthetic stock, so not as easy to do that as on a wooden stock!

    Standard Remington SPS stock/pad!

    HI everyone, I could do with your help please. I understand this is a common problem so the solution should be easy, but so far it isn't. My 700 SPS Recoil pad is going soft and sticky, whilst also being crisp in part, basically useless. Any ideas where I can get a new one please? Remington used to supply replacements on an industrial scale to end users but that all stopped last time they went bust (2020). Cheers

    Never owned a Pump! Actually, I think I've only ever shot one once, many years ago, its a distant memory. Cleanings a bit easier I guess (than semi) and they seem quite popular is the US, but not vast quantities in the UK.

    Magpies have always been an issue but steadily over the years I'm getting more calls about them. As we all know they can be difficult, but the decoys and a few eggs, and of course the HMR usually go a long way!

    So a lot had no interest in Football, but spent money on tickets and endured the horror and expense of travelling to Wembley just to support women???? Lets be clear, I am not flying the flag for women or their football, neither am I for one second suggesting they are better than the men, the equivalent male team shouldn't struggle to much against them, despite the fact most top flight male footballers are Prima Donnas worried about their image. I found the womens Euros entertaining and far more skilful that I would have expected, simple as!

    ?????????????? I get some of what you are saying, but seeing as they filled Wembley, I think the womens game has the edge on Tiddlywinks for popularity!

    Whatever...I have to admit I have found the games generally, not just England, entertaining and skilful, women's football has come a long way. Oh yes, and however good the men may be, they haven't won anything since 1966, and the girls did tonight!

    I dive in here from time to time to see if the world still exists...what on earth has this thread developed into???????????

    I do a fair few foxes at all distances but a LOT close, domestic work tends to keep me quite busy and any thoughts of centrefire are a joke. Sometimes .22lr, sometimes .22WMR but the HMR gets most use, never had a problem, more than capable! Tools for the job, simple as!

    It's exploring, or most likely removing fine layers of wood to expand its nest, which isn't in your bug hotel!!

    I've actually just bought 550 of the old 40g off a pal, work fine, although Winchesters not my favourite. Never actually used the 42g stuff!
  18. Deker
    I think that was last seen in the Pavilion area, not sure now though!
  19. Deker
    Already done several and another 2 booked for Fri!

    Geography is obviously a factor! We have members in Milton Keynes and near Cambridge, which amazes me anyway, not as far as you though!

    Some of you may know I am Secretary of a Home Office registered Rifle Club at Bisley. Due to a combination of unfortunate circumstances we seem to have availability for 3 new members. We are a small (our Constitution limits the total membership number) friendly sociable club, just the same, one of our members ended up shooting for Team GB and another is training with them. We generally shoot 9-10 times a year at Bisley, but as we are all tarts we skip the winter months. Distances most commonly are 200, 300 and 600 yards with occasional shoots at 100 and 1000 yards.

    I bought 2 x Shimano reels from there years back, probably 25-30 years back, didn't even know they did air rifle stuff!

    Thank you, found somewhere.
