    There is a brand new Tikka T3x lite stainless left handed in .243 on't guntrader. They will drop the price as well i have dealt with them before.

    I can fully appreciate your reasons for buying a 22.250 instead of taking the licensing authority on. However i think it is sad that your decision has just made it harder for the next person because you have let them get away with it.

    I wouldn't get hung up about the land being cleared, that is nothing of a job for them to do. Lancashire will actually clear it whilst you are on the phone to them whilst looking at a map. If you have good reason to have c/f you will get it and you have good reason so i cannot see any problem. Excellent choice of calibre for fox by the way.

    Just scrolling through this section and read the thread title again. Shook my head in disbelief AGAIN and thought "well he hasn't has he" what a potherb.

    Hmm, ducking stool or electric shock therapy? Decisions, decisions! ?

    I can't begin to tell you how disappointed i am. I had such high hopes for you. I thought you where going for another 243 using 55/58grn bullets or the 22.250. But alas you have chosen the calibre of the chavs! I won't sleep tonight knowing you have made a poor lifestyle choice. ?

    No it isn't the same parent case. The parent case for 22.250 is 250 3000 savage.

    There is no decision to make! Take both, throw the hmr in the nearest pond and keep the .243, job done! If you need anymore advice ask away it's free! ?

    I could help with that.?

    Several weeks ago i bought my 10 yr old grandson a 28g semi auto to learn to shoot with. I took him to a mates clay shoot (spit) three times to give him the basics. He had fifty shots with 14 gram carts the first time, one hundred shots with a mixture of 14/18 gram carts and the seventy five with 21 gram carts. Well last Saturday afternoon i took him to see if he could get a shot or two at pigeon coming into a small wood then maybe a shot at mallard at one of the pits. My mate had loaded some 24 gram steel loads up for his 28g and so gave me some for him to try on the ducks. His first sho

    Cracking result, definitely better than sat indoors watching the "fools lantern".

    Coursing bred dogs are a law unto themselves. Years ago i bought a strong dog pup out of a litter that on paper was one of the best matings available. When you looked at him you would think he would be able to run and kill plenty of good hares. By the time he was twenty two months old he still hadn't killed one and didn't even look like doing so. He didn't have enough pace to get to a hare never mind pressure it. His father was Buddy and the bitch was a well bred and well tested bitch. A while later a got a three quarter Greyhound One quarter Saluki bitch at twelve months old. She had plenty o

    Yes i will get one when i go up the shoot this week and put a copy up on here.
  17. ianm
    Have you done a formal risk assessment? If you haven't it may be an idea to do one and give everyone involved on the shoot a copy. We have done ours and on the day (November) everyone will get one. It just covers you from the authorities. Good luck on your first shoot.

    Starlight are a crap company to deal with. Dragonflies where very hit and miss when they came out. No quality control at all, just pot luck whether you got a good one or a bad one. I made sure i got a proper one by turning up on their doorstep and picking mine out of a batch just made. I used a dark cellar and a n/v spotter to pick it with. I believe he is now working out of his garage at home and has given up the premises he used in Manchester.

    If you like 243 why not just get another as a dedicated fox rifle. I have a Dragonfly here as a spare i/r, if you want to try one let me know.
  20. ianm
    Daft as it may sound but you may get more range by dropping the mag to x10 and using a better i/r. What are you using now?

    It isn't the first anschutz rifle i have heard about having problems, or indeed German rifle. Tell him not to buy rifles from a country that lost two world wars.?

    It all depends how far you have to shoot. If you are only rabbiting or ratting or shooting over bait at 100yds or so then fine, the onboard i/r is ok for that. My mate had to shoot a fox at two hundred and eighty yards last week with his pard 008 and no way would the onboard i/r of sufficed. He has mounted his SRX forward and to the right of his pard and in no way is it a lot heavier or clumsy. I am quite sure there will be a work around regarding i/r on pards but don't expect to find it on forums. What i am saying is it isn't the end of the world adding an additional i/

    Doesn't everyone??

    Don't bother asking on there because he won't tell you. They are deleting any posts about how to increase laser efficiency in case the authorities are reading them and ban the import of pards. My mate runs a Pard 008 and although the onboard i/r is useful it still benefits from using a Solaris SRX with it. It would be Thomas Jacks that tried (unsuccessfully) to stop the importation of Pards because of the lost sales of Pulsar stuff. The pards have crept up in price but there is still nothing as good at the price point. In answer to Walshies statement, yes they would be allo
