    It took a couple of days, the uk supplier seems to hold a lot of stock, it’s a shame the shooting shows haven’t started because they always have a stand at them and you can have a look to see what you like best, I think I paid £680 for it and I don’t think it mattered what reticule it came with

    .22 hornet ( I’m just saying random calibre’s now because it’s probably something I’ve never heard of ?)

    I’ve got a vortex viper 6-24x50 HS long range scope on my .243 I had to order it with just a straight forward crosshair because I can’t be doing with a busy reticule, it is quite fine but is crystal clear when you put your eye to it, I’ve used it many times on a lamp shooting foxes and it can be seen no problem on a red lamp

    Cheers mate, it’s the right time of year for it, low sun and amazing colours ?

    I’ve had a fair few pairs of binoculars ( and bust them all ) I’ve had an old pair of Swarovski that were good and a pair of Carl Zeiss that were ok but no better than the vortex, everything else hasn’t been a patch on the vortex, for the money you won’t go wrong, like the scopes they are really good in low light, my mate has the vortex diamondbacks they are a bit more money but are even better in low light

    .17wsm? .22wmr?

    They are the same, only difference is they are 10x42 and mine are 8x42, I was going to replace mine from there because you get the front harness bag with them, until I found out I could have them replaced for free, the harness bags about 45 quid to buy on it own

    The gat gun, every kid had one for shooting darts at the neighbours cat, the front of the barrel pushed in to cock it, it fired pellets, darts and for some random reason corks that you pushed onto the front, they were as weak as piss, but they would sting when your mate shot you with one and would give you a wicked bruise if they did it at point blank and the barrel hit you in the head ?

    I’ve done the same at the shoot, shot loads and you don’t see that many over the summer, as soon as October comes round it’s like I haven’t shot 1

    I was up at the shoot just after 8 this morning, the birds were already off roast and on the wander, it’s not very often I get there on a morning to feed and at first I thought where are they all, it wasn’t long before I started to find them, wherever the sun was shining the birds were there, there’s a good bunch of them that head through the farm and under the beach trees before heading towards the oak wood drive until mid morning when the head back through the farm back towards the pen, it’s good to go different times of the day so I can see where they are ?

    There’s no point in me buying top end binoculars, because I just wreck them, for the money you can’t buy anything as good as these, their top of the range rifle scopes, like the one I have on my .243 rival any of the high end manufacturers a mate of mine had a Swarovski scope and it had condensation in it, he sent it to them and they repaired it free of charge and had it back to him in a few days, a few weeks later he dropped his rifle off the back of the pickup and damaged the scope, sent it back to them and they refused warranty because it was damaged, gutted ? he paid a lot of money f

    Few weeks ago I broke my vortex binoculars when I got the quad stuck up at the shoot, while trying to lift the bike out I smashed my binoculars on the frame Longshanx gave me the number for Country sports wholesale who handle the warranty for vortex, I finally got around to sending them on Monday, on Tuesday I got an email saying they couldn’t repair them and would send me a new pair, Wednesday, they arrived, but sadly when I opened them they were broken, so I emailed CSW including a picture, within 5 minutes they rang me and couldn’t apologise enough, it was not their fault as the

    Most of what we have up there are very dark, be it doe or buck, they are lovely to watch in the woods, they move like shadows. I’ve seen one buck up there a couple of years ago that was a really light sandy colour, it was after forestry had been thinning the piggeries out and there was a group of them on the track, that was the one and only time I seen that beast

    Another feed day and they are continuing to eat everything in sight, I was greeted by some partridge in the yard on arrival and seen another dozen or so on my rounds, my next doors bird drive is coming along nicely, I’ve got them feeding along the wood in the next field up from the rape, this will make them easier to get round and I’ll be able to drive them through the trees, standing the guns on the track in a valley the other side, my last port of call on my rounds is the oak wood drive, when I was heading out the wood, I spotted the big black fallow buck that me and FH had a look for a few

    I think I’ll treat myself to a walk around the forestry with the .22 at some point this week, there seems to be a lot of squizzers about now ?
  22. Stavross
    Right, you basta*ds, it fits me ? It’s now found itself a new home ?
  23. Stavross
    One size fits all, it even goes down small enough to go around your brush handle body ?
  24. Stavross

  25. Stavross
