  1. This has been a saga to say the least, Nobilo in NZ has been no help at all. Thanks to tremendous efforts from members here (they have been thanked in PM's) it seems a bottle is on its way from Europe. I am eternally grateful to all who spent a lot of their time and made tremendous efforts to help, there are some really great people on THL. THANK YOU!

  3. Got there at last...new gun for my club and Optisan EVX 6-24x56.
  4. Sorry if this is a bit of a Hijack!!!!! What sort of Night distance can you see with these to confidently shoot please? They seem fair but I have always had reservations about distance. Cheers!
  5. Well spotted and worth checking if you have some of the ammo for sure!
  6. That's interesting! 50g is still on the heavy side for WMR (IMHO) but that variation is a bit off. Federal have their days, I wonder if this is normal or just a batch!? As I've said before, my last WMR liked the CCI 40g HP, but my latest just loves the 30g Hornady V-Max, very different ammo but good results from both!
  7. Just be normal, don't get cocky, don't crawl and don't be worried. Know some technical stuff, know safety and have answers as to why you need the kit, and if he asks something you don't know be straight about it! PS If you think you have a case for an Open (unrestricted) FAC ask, worst he can say is no. Mine and many others was Open day one and I understand Open is common day one in Scotland, so give it a try!
  8. Metalwork is something I know little about and have next to no skills in, always impresses me when I see this sort of work!
  9. Your Country and prey list are much bigger than the UK, I suspect you can teach us a thing or two!
  10. There are very few people who use/are conditioned to use, .38 Special for hunting applications in the UK, although there are certainly some, 9mm must be virtually zero! There are still some LBP that use these calibres though. I am not sure what you are saying about .22, if it is .22 Rimfire it is very difficult, time consuming and not really cost effective to reload what will almost always be inconsistent cartridges!

    Brexit

    The politicians and many in Government have liberally screwed us, words fail me but disgrace doesn't begin to describe what has happened!
  12. As said by many here already, reliability will be the issue, and JLR are simply NOT reliable, actually they are terrible!
  13. I have one site where I see white ones, but this is fairly recent, black in a few places, but not shot/seen one that looks like that before!
  14. As others have said, the 2 look in good condition, also young, particularly the first!
  15. Always encouraging to see the youngsters taking an interest...and enjoying it!
  16. The Air Gun boys may say something about that!
  17. I commonly use .22lr at 200 at Bisley, it can give some decent results, but as mentioned above its a nightmare to judge in the wind and if its gusty probably not worth bothering.

    Brexit

    I want us out, and I want the conniving, undemocratic politicians, who are putting up hurdles to Brexit out as well!

    Brexit

    Seems the Scots Courts have decided Boris Prorogue of Parliament IS legal!
  20. That would seem the obvious answer, but I don't like the things much...growing them as an experiment!
  21. Just picked this, I have no idea if its ripe and haven't even cut into it yet, frankly the only reason I picked it was because the plant was leaning a lot (I have loads of peppers on the plants). Is it any help confirming type of pepper? Cheers

    Brexit

    We voted to leave in a democratic poll, Parliament decided they didn't like that so introduced a law that said we couldn't leave without a deal! That is UNDEMOCRATIC, we voted to LEAVE! End of! Any BS the remoaners puke out is just that, I don't see too many who voted to leave saying leaving without a deal is undemocratic!!!!!!!
