Stav’s got some explaining to do
Stavross replied to Stavross's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Think I’m going shiny with this one, I’ve had a few second hand, most recently the cz .17hmr, everything he owned for £250, it seems to just be a fad with some people so there’s some real bargains to be had -

Yeah it seems to be going ok at home at the minute, I’m sure it will cost me dear at some point the scope was a bit of a deal, ex display, I was looking at a 16x40 but thought I’d see how I got on with this for the price -

Sad news, my gun shop has just rang, GMK don’t have the tikka in stock, they’ve ordered me it and they have said 5 weeks, I’ve rang every shop I can think of even down to sportsman in Exeter and no one has it in left, looks like a waiting game now -
Nice work, they look to be in good nic, ?

Mines not normally to bad she just likes to be involved in spending my money, hers is a different story, she earns considerably more than me but mine is ours and hers is her own, saying that I did say I would replace all the doors in the house and then spent it all on this new rifle, I haven’t mentioned that part yet ? -
That’s a cuuts trick, I made sure I got the invoice and bill of sale off this little fella, because he looked the type to do something like that

To be fair my missus shoe collection is a joke, nobody needs over 450 pairs of shoes and non of them are cheap, so if she was to complain about the price of my gun collection I’d have to remind her that she only has 2 feet, but only after a couple of bravery beers -
I gave a lad £300 for this, there’s plenty out there, on eBay he got it on the cycle to work thing, used it twice after paying £750 for it,

You will have to put a letter in your will, only to be opened on death explaining the true worth, she might be mad about the lie or cash them in and spend it on something that would have you spinning in your grave, at least you won’t be there to see what becomes of all your gear -

My missus has seen the invoice and asked what it was, I explained waiting to be stabbed through the chest with a knitting needle and she said you should treat yourself you work hard, now I am extremely worried -

Nice work, there is a lot about first light, but as you say when it starts to warm up they head for a bit of cover

Starts the first Saturday in November, I’ll be running the beating line on half the drives so won’t be a problem you coming up when I’m there?
-
We’ll normally get a couple of weeks at them before it’s ploughed in, it’s always good for a bit of summertime foxing, I was out at sproxton last night and called in the biggest dog I’ve seen up there the bugger just wouldn’t come off the skyline for a safe shot
-
That’s because you have executed them all, you monster ? you have got to keep showing your face I’m sure more will come from up there my mates not far off starting to combine so get your ammo stocked up because it could be a bunny bonanza in a few weeks?

Cracking mate, keep at them, did she get round to asking the others around her if you can get on there land

This is very interesting for me, there should be set guidelines that all forces stick to, when I was after my first CF I was looking at .223 predominantly for fox with the odd deer, I was advised that .243 was a better option, as .223 was not a suitable deer round, I didn’t know this at the time, I was not aware that some forces don’t consider this to be a fox round, for me a fox shot with a 58g .243 at range goes nowhere -

He was still granted it but was advised not for fox, a lot of forces have the opinion that the 17hmr is not a suitable fox round but my FAO is not of this opinion if it’s used in the correct situation, he still says the hornet is more suited and you can’t argue with that -

Yes, I remember when I went in for FAC and was told ( off the record ) they wanted to see rimfire first and a bit of rifle experience, also I know a few people that don’t have open tickets and also restricted tickets you never see this information, I know someone who went for a 6.5 creedmoor as a general rifle and when he said he would be shooting fox with it they weren’t to happy about that and recommend he used his .243 -

There’s a few there that don’t seem to be preforming well at all, luckily for me I’m in Cleveland who have always been on the ball, my last variation took 48 hours, my mate falls into North Yorkshire and they are very slow -
It’s the same around here all jacks with the odd carrion, my mate was talking to the farmer and mentioned the ladder trap that he has on his spot I had to give him the death eyes to make him shut up trying to mess our days out up, idiot?
