    That’s a proper “ git orf my land “ grumpy farmer look ? glad you managed to get out on your first day and made the best of it, even with all the rain, the birds must be well and truly sick of all this wet weather now, unless it dry’s out a bit getting them to fly is going to be a problem, although we had some good shooting last time there was still a lot making a run for it, we are out again next Saturday and looking at the weather we could have a bit more rain towards the end of the week

    I would definitely give £250 for that as a hide gun, I read a couple of reviews and they say well built and reliable, so for that price I don’t think you could go wrong ?

    Top man coot, always nice to help a fellow shooter out if you can ?????

    Nice going SD, fantastic way to spend a day, house work for me today ( only because it’s pouring down you understand) I’ve been at it for 3 hours now and thought I’d have a wander out with the shotgun until I looked out the window and seen one of the missus pet rabbits doing lengths of the garden, so it looks like I’m stuck in today, hope the rain holds off for you philpot so that has time to get away before it’s at your door

    Oh yes, I mean snow ️ I love being out in it on the pheasants ?

    It’s been a bit wild up here this afternoon, as long as it’s gone by tomorrow night so I can get out and about for a bit, Wales have had some proper game shooting weather, hopefully we will have a bit of that a week on Saturday for our next day

    The main reason I went for the dpt mod for the .17 was the weight, like others have said the sound will be no different to the SAK, on another note I’m my opinion it looks better, it’s thinner and this one is 6” long so with rifles like the short tikka it gives the impression of a longer rifle, this one is also flush fit, not over barrel, I have a SAK on the .22 and I can’t fault that but on the centre fire I don’t think I’d use anything else now
  8. Stavross
    The centre fire mods are about £250, if you are wanting one for the .22 or .17 they are between £70 and £100, I paid £80 for the one in the picture

    Whooo, finally managed to get back on, I use dpt mods now because you are able to strip them fully and you will need to because this is a dirty little round, you can also customise them by adding sections ( this is mainly for the centre fires ) they weigh nothing so you don’t even know it’s on, you will always get muzzle crack, but the mod will dampen it down and to be fair the distance you will be shooting, they have no idea where it’s coming from, I’ve shot a full family at over 100 yards and they don’t seem bothered by any noise or there mates falling over next to them

    Hahaha, wash your mouth out ??

    Yes mate, off the trigger sticks, just as well because this one buggered off across the field but with the sticks going 360 I could just follow it without moving the sticks, the lad I take with me sometimes won’t use them, he is obsessed with these wooden quad stick, by the time he has finished rattling them about anything that was there had made a run for it

    Although this chap came running in and we called the other down the field near the farm, nothing called back which was a bit strange, we normally hear them before we see them, the fox rut can’t be in full swing up here yet ?

    A trip up to the sheep farm tonight and it didn’t look to promising, clear skies and no wind, within 10 minutes of being there it clouded over and started to rain a little, setting the caller out 60 yards away on a fence post we set it away with the vixen in heat on full volume, after 10 minutes or so the eyes were seen coming up the field directly in front of us, it was within 60 yards when my mate put the lamp on it at which point it decided to go left across the field to the far hedge back, stopping only for a second to look towards the caller as it started again, a squeeze of the trigger

    I’m not one to brag when I’m hanging out with the A listers ? Haha, is tatler still going, I could be a bit of cover eye candy for the ladies ?

    Haha the fat lad next to the truck looking through the thermal, yep, that was me ?

    I had a cameo appearance in his last foxing video, I’m hopefully going back down before Christmas for a mixed bag of shooting, depending on mine and his work

    Lovely little write up coot and a pair of fine beasts for your efforts, its Always nice to make the most of it, friends, food and shooting, it’s what it’s all about ?

    After a fantastic day yesterday, back to reality today feeding up, absolutely freezing, managed to get the quad stuck because I was to lazy to walk 150 yards to a feeder, still with two of us on the job we had it cracked off in under 3 hours
  19. Stavross
    You should of given us a shout, you would of went past the back of the shoot if you came up Sutton bank, we could of put you in the beating line ?

    That young lads first bird was a cracker with the little 28bore, it came out above the trees, when he took the shot his back was arched, it must of looked a very long way up to him, it’s head went back as it fell 20 yards behind him, he will remember that for the rest of his life ?
  21. Stavross
    Good to see you about, the weather has certainly not helped this busy time of year, I’ve been feeding up this morning and managed to get the quad stuck because I was to lazy to walk 150 yards ?
  22. Stavross
    He can definitely hold his own, he was in the line next to Hugo’s dad and that lad can really shoot and he said he hit some good birds as for the glitter on a turd comment from you and sd, that’s one of the nicest ways people have ever described me ?

    Second day on the shoot, wow what a day, we couldn’t of asked for a better day ( well maybe snow ) sunshine and cold, the difference in the quality of the birds from two weeks ago was unbelievable, still only the second day so selective shooting was expected, we had two full teams of guns today and the beaters worked so well, we had the delights of longshanx beating all day for Hugo’s dad so he could stand all day ( cheers mate ) and my guest today was robin foxer off YouTube, it was definitely worth his three hour trip to come up to our little shoot with some lovely high birds and some testin
