Right feeling wound up!! I have fox fever, reqally bad, The Story.......... Been shooting a while at night with 222, 2years ish, Slowly practiced my self till i had a peak fox shooting time, december last year to middle of feb this year where i shot around foxes without missing once!! (not blowing trumpet or anything) These foxes were out to 259yardsmostly under 100 but some cracking shots(ok a little trumpet blowing) BUT its all fallen apart i've started missing and can't stop, i have missed about 18-20 since feb and hit about 8, absolutely unbelieveable, the thing is i shot a r

270 is looking likely to be the minimum for , you've got to remember its not just about whether its able to kill the animal but about putting a big enough hole through the animal to leave a blood trail if it doesn't go down straight away....roe should be 22cf, a 20stone red deer takes some stopping and is a big animal to put a hole through a 22calibre bullet could not have the weight to go through 2 shoulder blades of a boar or red or even fallow, which would lead to animals going off to die and not be trackable!!!

yeah kill the b*****ds lost loads of partridge to a moggy and just before nthe damage started i thought it was a fox had it in the sights and it turned its head, had no muzzle so i left it then lost just less than treble figures of partridge, they kill all year round..................if people let dogs out there called irresponsible but its accepted to not know where a cat is for days.....thats worse And i've been moaning about this for weeks is that f****ng purina or kitekat advert on the radio saying and i quote "suddenly at seven she chasing birds again.........shes not fu***ng chasi

CZ's are very good guns..........but the remy has so much stuff that can be done to it over time.....new stocks easily, new triggers etc i was looking at tikka but theres little scope with them for upgrade, so i'm sliding down the remy route, i think, Howa also make very good guns very cheap about £515 heavy stainless+hogue stock, i think from highlandoutdoors.com or whatever they come with an accuracy guarentee of 1 1/4" again i like the howa but little scope after purchase......... i've decided to get the dream and buy a rifle i don't wanna put down ever!! A semi custom remy

In my area i excel at walking for foxes!!! and my dog retreiving them........no one else round here doing it!!! wouldn't say i'm the best though!! I do some excellent wind ups of mates, parents etc but thats about it!!!

If they had banned him for life then fair play, they didn't, so he got his head down worked hard and is now at a winning level.........if they didn't want him running they should have banned him, they can't have a strop about him being good enough to race now .......the message i see they've sent out(looking at it from an optimist) 1 Don't do drugs you get caught!! 2 Work hard don't cheat and you could still win And if they don't let him race, the message is 3 get your name dragged round in the dirt Serve your punishment, work hard, get back to top level so we can shit on you some

Do it! or not............i had been to london, sorted my flight plan out for my round the world trip but was waiting 3 weeks to save £300 in an offer, had order number and everything and while doing so I found gamekeeping, thats was 4 years ago, i have a dog and will never be without one hopefully a job soon that will all add to it never happening for me...........do i regret it NO.....Why?? Because I have a dog, hopefully a good job soon, i love what i do and to be honest i'd miss my lamping if i went travelling!!! Travelling is a great experience i'm one of the few of my friends

i'm fairly sure it will be safe as its not pistol powder......i think thats the difference, get a reloading handbook, they've tried all calibres with all powders and tell you whats safe and the max you can use

if there lantra based they'll be the same nation wide......i've done the quadbike course, wouldn't say i learnt much, just got a piece of paper saying i'm not a prick now!!! thats all it really is!! Got the brushcutter one and that was a bit better but again common sense, you do need qualifications to get work for insurance purposes but it won't really teach you much!! -
i go round in 76.......76 on each hole!! get my moneys worth!!!

bang it on the ground a couple of times then just use it, the grit and texture of the soil will get it off i used to just put dry ballast in a mixer to clean that out and leave it running, always worked a treat

Don't complain, there just JOKES!!! Woman are like parking spaces, when all the best ones are taken, sometimes you just have to stick it in a disabled one! A girl met a genie one day, he said she could have 2 wishes, first of all she asked for big tits, instantly she grew 38DD tits, next she said i'd like a really tight c*nt............ ........She'll probably call you in a minute! This black guy was going on a first with a date with a lovely girl, and he wanted to show her that it is true what they say about black men.....................So he stabbed her and nicke

christ anyone would think what bull said wasn't a legitimate training method, helps with that explosive reactions out of the traps!!!!!! but the way he writes suggests it might have gone over his head

Hi mate, i just bought a stealth 10 mod from thewholeshootingmatch.com/co.uk You can take it apart completely to clean, its stainless steel so won't rust, parts can be replaced individually, and its basically a t8 with 10 baffles, its quieter than a t8 and doesn't have a high pitch ring after shooting like mild steel its lighter and slightly bigger than a t8 the downside is its £295, but t8's are made to be disposable and do wear out, rust and i would never buy or use one!!

try and get out and see what its about before buying a dog of any sorts!! I didn't and for what i wanted originally i got the wrong dog as it happens my passions have altered slightly and we're now made for each other........i was lucky but try and see some different x's run Where abouts are you??

this evening i was chatting to a gunsmith down the road.....he was an international hand pistol shooter, he was showing me photos of his 243 ackley improved pistol, 12" barrel, 4x mag scope, he used to shoot 600, 800 1000yards with it and theres a magazine article showing the pistol team losing a match against the rifle boys by 1 and yes 1 v.bull at a 1000yards they were set to win but just missed out the grouping he got was incredible, absolutely awesome 3.5-4" at 1000 yards........and it was all there in black and white brought it home about barrel length for me!!!! all they do i

Thats cool....thanks for trying to explain it...... Can/do you do the same customs on howas? Which are the best remi or howa? i've heard very good things about the howa Also when blueprinting if the cuts are made to an open tolerence and the manufacturing process has taken off to much metal how would it be made true? I come from an engineering background and can't fathom this out What barrel, action, on a wilddog tactical stock would you reccomend and how much would that be What length and manufacturer barrel, heavy fluted with a magazine and stud etc I think i'm ge

Thaank you very much again baldie...........I have used you before for my 10/22 and what a lovely gun it is too, thank you for that!! Is there any chance you could show some more photos of what you talked about as in the heavy barrel profiles and the blt lifted but not withdrawn on the remmy, hard to picture what your saying A 5 round mag would be ideal don't want more things to bump into!!!!! People have said custom action to me, is this a route you'd suggest or go the improved factory route? Are Wildog stocks as stiff as mcmillans which do you prefer?? Tahnks again, what a b
