    It was cheap Dave. Its about £60 a kilo now. I like to load my muzzleloaders so they are just starting to jump out of the fore hand! I think any form of shooting after the 90's stopped being cheap. Before 2000 one could load anything cheaply. Archery is about the cheapest today, chiefly due to arrows can be shot indefinitely! Some fools stopped us using that though. ? Iirc, the barrel is 36" mate.

    Dave it is an Armi Sport from Italy. No longer in business. Made in the early eighties. Its based on the American Kentucky long rifle. Many a reproduction muzzleloader manufacturer offered smoothbored versions of their rifles for sad countries like ours when it comes to firearm laws. That said its still alot of fun. Every successful hunt has more involved and thus satisfying. I was tipping about 70gns of powder in it. It make a lovely sound and gives a healthy thump in the shoulder, nice?

    I was keen to get out to get me a rabbit or two this afternoon. I used my .45 and loaded five .36 balls in it to be legal. I missed #1 rabbit but got #2. 30yd shot. can you see the ball in the hawthorn? Here is a close up. Number three was right on dark. Another 30yd shot. When it stuck its neck out I made a perfect neck shot. Turned out to be a grand afternoon, saw no one, the rough weather got them all confined to barracks, just how I like it ?

    My thoughts exactly.

    I will try that on the replacement Ian ?. I did dry it out last time it played up and it worked. I pulled it apart and found a dried out bug on the circuitry. Just how the bug got in I have no idea.

    If you read quick it sounds like "he's now bought a Datsun engine...... I'm here all week too ?

    Diesel or petrol?

    When I have gotten glare from a lamp shining on a mod I have wrapped the mod in those matt coloured stretchy bandages. I have no idea if it will absorb IR though. Another thing I have done is position the light source so that the objective bell casts a shadow over the mod.

    Good video for anyone interested. It's out of my league afraid but very interesting. https://youtu.be/0CIlR0aR7ys

    Gav, in all honesty it could be old stock! Mine definitely is. However, my stock of Hornady is current and there are no issues. I don't recommend shooting the split necks. High pressure leakage can occur or a blockage.

    I went through an old box of remington ammo last night with a magnifying ? and picked out the ones split. I took them work for destruction.

    Be Saturday morning and Sunday. If the wind is right. South or westerly will do. Think I know where she is frequenting, going of my dogs nose this afternoon. Bet she dodges me!
  18. Sausagedog
    Old slinky. Must be hungry. Just look how she stares at the IR! Not going to be easy this one!

    How many btu is a fox rated at I wonder?
  20. Sausagedog
    Where you taking the fox Davy?
  21. Sausagedog
    Don't worry about that. That's nothing. Might just be where the claw hits even. ?
  22. Sausagedog
    What gun? Looks like it may have a rotating bolt head, yes?
  23. Sausagedog
    There will be a corresponding claw on the bolt.
  24. Sausagedog
    Is that not the extractor cut out?
  25. Sausagedog
    Not understanding your last comment. I don't think there is any adjusters on the forend. I seem to remember some may shim the piece in question. I also recall some of the forend iron may in fact be plastic on some models!
