    I have had it with an odd one of these hornady rounds and i had it with the winchesters when i had the first hmr. It is when they are split before they are attempted to be fired that the problems arise.
  2. ianm
    Are these splits before or after firing? If it is the latter then it isn't an issue.

    I don't know about the c50 but some digital scopes have to be zeroed on base mag or they won't hold zero. Worth trying before sending back.

    I run all my cameras on rechargeables and don't have any bother.

    I haven't got one you scrote!

    I may live to regret this but i hope not. If it helps you, you are welcome to come over here (south of Preston) and i will take you to one of my places. I will run through the safety aspects and set up some hardox fox targets for you to practise on. I will make available for you .22 lr, .17hmr, .204, .243 and 30/06. If you listen and prove to be safe you would be welcome back, if you aren't you will be going back to yorkshire quicker than you came followed by a letter to the West Yorks firearms dept telling them you aren't fit. So the offer is there if you want it, oh, and don't turn up in Bur

    Well i don't know what you have been reading or who has written it but i can tell you it's wrong. The Drone doesn't use any zoom, it is a fixed 10x magnification and is the clearest picture of any n/v scope ever! Nothing i have looked through comes close because all the money went into a BIG quality lens, camera, sensor and near eye display. There are no gimmicks like wifi, recording, compass? etc.

    Well my grandson did ok with the little 20 bore. He shot 2 mallard and 3 pheasants and i know he hit another 2 pheasants but they kept going. I put that down to range and number sixes. He can use them up on pigeons and i will get the usual fives for him. Total bag was 39 head so he held his own with an unfamiliar gun, he can only get better with it.

    Our last shoot today, just an afternoon thing and a duck flight afterwards. I have borrowed a 20bore for the grandson to try from my mates shop with a view to buying if it suits. I hope he gets to shoot a few today.

    Let us know what it is like in a moisture laden atmosphere.

    The bloke that runs that shoot has been arrested. From what i can gather he was running it for profit without insurance, he is apparently in the shit. The least injured person had three broken ribs and a broken ankle.

    Shut it Beetlejuice!?

    You need to cut them some slack, they are very busy hiding from people with colds! ?

    Turned up safe and sound thanks. ?

    Cracking job! first n/v kill. HMR + N/V where is it all going to end! ? My mate who has just tried the Wulf 4k again last night has confirmed to himself that it is shite! Being a bit quicker on the uptake i didn't need a second look to know it would be no good for what he needed. ? Anyhow i have found him a scope that will do the job, a Drone pro x10 will be arriving this week. ?

    Have a good day!

    There was plenty of moisture in the air but mist didn't roll in till later. Yes i could see clearly with the Drone and that is what i benchmark all n/v on. Good job you didn't miss the rat , it could of been painful!?

    Nipped out tonight to have a look through this wulf 4k of my mates. I was very underwhelmed. I can't see him keeping it long.

    If you are going to use it on lamp shy foxes, it may well be worth your while investing in a 940nm 500mw laser. Something along the lines of a Dark engine.
  20. ianm
    What scope are you using?
  21. ianm
    Yep! Which is why I asked what it is like when the air is full of moisture. In those conditions there is only the Drone that won’t have you going home.
  22. ianm
    What is it like when the air is full of moisture? That is when you see how well or not a scope performs.

    That .410 would be just the job on our .410 day.

    Glad to hear pulsar have produced something of worth to fox shooters in this country rather than continental pig shooters. Pulsar gear is decent quality and i prefer it to chinese offerings. The c50 isn't a fortune either, which DE did you use the 850nm or the 940nm?

    I must admit to being an AYA fan. They are superb guns but not very popular because they are sxs and double trigger. The first guns i had were sxs so i have no problem changing between single and double triggers. I think the fall from popularity is due to people learning to shoot at clay shoots. The first thing they are handed is an o/u with which they are taught to shoot. It then becomes "the norm" and afterwards people either can't or are unwilling to try a sxs. There are two of us on our game shoot that use sxs, i like tradition and i think it looks sad the rest of them stood about with the
