I drop in this area from time to time and I'm always impressed with peoples skills!
-
They need some of this, you don't have to find the body or get access to it, (it will stop smelling when the bodily fluids are all gone), just put a drop of this down in various areas around the site and the smell is completely masked. Its VERY strong and lasts a long time, I mean potentially weeks!!!!! Comes in assorted flavours, mine must be at least 10 years old (shows how rarely I need to use it) but on the handful of occasions I have used it , its been great!!!
-
Absolutely correct, and not a pleasant smell either. But I find it rarely happens, the smell will go when the bodily fluids dry up, which can be quite quickly in hot weather, or there are plenty of Deodorising gels about which do a very good job of masking the smell!

should I seal it up or what I always prefer to solve the problem first then do the proofing. No point filling a hole first, the rodent will simply try to get in somewhere else.

I have never found the 20g FMJ/hollow point HMR any good on fox, but the 17G V-Max has always done me well.
-
Best I ever did with the HMR at 100 yards. 4 shots, I bottled out of the 5th, and frankly I've never tried again! To be honest I have always found the HMR has the edge on the WMR for accuracy, but only just, its very close!

Over 4 years this thread has been running and still no PROOF!!!!!! Just fuzzy pictures, cardboard cut-outs, hoaxes, drunks, and people who have 100% proof/evidence but for some strange reason want to keep it all secret!

Time was when Sound Moderators were really hard to get a slot for in the UK, and there was very little choice as well. The youngsters on this site will be scratching there heads as Sound mods are now easy to get on ticket, and the choice is plentiful here these days, just the same a mod still needs its own slot on our FAC's. To be honest I have not been abroad with any guns for a while, and my Firearms Passport for the EU is now defunct, so I need to check what I'll need to do for my next hunting trip to France!!

rifle with night vision recommendations
Deker replied to maddy1984's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
The Pard 007 is good, but if you are looking closely at budget, simply get one of the many torches and mounts than can be had from eBay for £10-15. You will soon find if that works for you or where you want to go from there, with a minimal initial outlay! These are great, I have a few, variable strength and adjustable beam out to around 100 yards. 5pcs SkyWolfEye Zoomable 50000LM T6 LED 18650 Flashlight Hiking Lamp Torch Light | eBay I still use Lamping kits, torches and also night vision, whatever works best for the job in hand! -
????? There is more variety of WMR ammo than HMR, there are some very heavy WMR which hit hard but are not even close to flat. On the other hand, my go to WMR ammo these days is the 30g V-Max, which flies "VERY CLOSE " to the 17g HMR V-Max out to about 100yards. I've tried a few over the years and this is just some I seem to have left over!! My last WMR loved the CCI 40g below, and it was QUITE flat, but my latest WMR didn't get on so well with those! It's all down to what you need and what works for you, I have .22lr, HMR and WMR and they all have a plac

In the Rimfire category as you requested......WMR. The WMR went out of favour in the UK with the introduction of the HMR just over 20 years ago, but the WMR has always been popular in the USA and the last 20 years has seen some cracking WMR ammo developments. Love mine!
-
No question they are right up there, just a bit heavy for me, but others like that!

rimfire CZ457 SYNTHETIC
Deker replied to Rimfire Rifles Freedom's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Now there's a thing, my CZ rimfires are all 452, and other than playing with the trigger on the HMR and WMR (the .22LR is fine and original??) I'm more than happy with everything they do!! I don't find they have any shortcomings for field work, the 453 wasn't the greatest upgrade, but I have little experience of the 455 or 457, can someone tell me what I'm missing? Cheers!! -

Magtech 7022 Semi Automatic Rifle. A closer look. - YouTube Not exactly a technical review, but a guy who like the Magtech!!! -
FAC application, some help and advice please
Deker replied to Steviec's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Could be they do add it automatically now (in some regions), I've always included it in renewals so its always been included on FAC. It certainly should be an automatic addition, but I take nothing for granted with renewals! -

Deker replied to philpot's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
The CZ are good in semi, so is the Anschutz. Many years ago now I decided a semi 22 would be useful to have and after a lot of research I got one of these. A Magtech 7022, it's the same gun as the Mosberg 702 (or was then) but a LOT cheaper. Out of the box (actually no, I had already added the swivel studs), front/rear sight removal followed, I had originally intended to use the open sights as it was supplied but found my eyes needed a scope! This really is cheap as chips and very light, I have nothing but praise for it, much more accurate than I could have ever hav -
Last used Phostoxin and Talunex about 10 years ago when the regulations around them got very rigid. Never had much use for them anyway, are they still about??

Many years since I used Stingers as well, but I seem to remember the arc was like falling off a cliff anything much above 60-80 yards, have they changed/improved? Energy and speed retention were not exactly great either, actually general accuracy in my .22 (and many other peoples) was not impressive either, probably why I stopped using them!! -

Deker replied to Steviec's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I suspect so, your FEO should really bring it up anyway! -

Deker replied to Steviec's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
We always used to add ZEROING as well! -
Is it the scope??? Many cheaper scopes have issues with engineering and dialling in is where it commonly manifests itself. Other than for wind, there should be no need for left/right adjustment when dialling in, you should only need up or down, if the scope is mounted straight!! Make sure scope is bolted on firmly as well. Pellets have been mentioned, always worth trying others and particularly size variations as well.

Very good...I still don't understand how he gets away with his BS, what on earth gives him the right to lecture others??!!

Free jsb 18gr .22 sample bag
Deker replied to BenBhoy's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
All done, many thanks!!! -
I rather think that in some older guns they MAY have a use, but with modern technology (guns) and manufacturing processes my personal view is, not required!!

...the change in the very latest PCP is incredible to, my Falcon and Theoben Rapid seem very old now!
