  1. Lovely stamp of pup Tom,in lovely condition with you as well fair play. Be just what someone is looking for mate. Best of luck with finding him a good permanent working home
  2. Yes, the synthetic one wont twist or warp when exposed to wet or humid conditions. I t wont need drying out slowly and carefully after a wetting, its fool proof. This is most important when you have a fully floating barrell, If the forend warps slighlty (obviously depending how much clearance there is between wood and floating barrell), this may cause your barrells movement, upon being fired, to be disturbed, thus your nice tight group at whatever distance you have zeroed your rifle can go out the window. With plastic or synthetic you can leave it in the bath overnight and it"shouldn't" m
  3. right to clear this up !!!! yes a post went up and was selling for a friend!!! it was a goshawk, that rule/guideline was made because lads were selling two or three dog's/ pup's then said there were selling pup's for friend's and selling for friends of friends, this trick was used by peddlers to sell on this site, no one was worried if a lad sold litters after litters, we/i never deleted any post for a friend only of dog's/pup's, this section is for working dog's and livestock , there no section for birds of prey !!!, so for ffs lads grow up ye want peddlers stopped!! we are doing it, it's n
  4. For effective, high velocity , accurate rounds for foxes, you won't beat a .222. Not as big and powerfull as others in the .22 centrefire range, but about the flatest trajectory you can get, using a 55 grain pointed soft point round, is heavier than the .17 so will be less affected by wind etc, and ammo is cheaper than .22 250 etc. Obviously, if your after deer as well, a larger calibre will do both jobs for you ( as has been stated earlier) but an out an out fox rifle .222 in my humble opinion. If you have say £1000 to spend, use £400 on a good rifle and spend the rest on a very good scop

    Goshawk

    I had a thread removed the other day by a mod that stated, "Your not allowed to advertise for mates", I was told to " Read the rules". I really hope your mate sells his bird fella, but as a mod yourself, you should perhaps lead by example. ATB B
  6. Just noticed on ebay a half mount fox, looks a tidy one, ending soon. The item number is 220556671369. Low price at the moment by the looks, and no, it's not mine, so dont waste your time asking me anything about it, just thought someone on here might fancy it. Bootsha

  10. Sorry guys, 1 bitch pup as well as dog pups available, not as previously posted. My mistake . If you see you will buy, simple as. Regards B
  11. Now your talkin TB !! I think that would be just the ticket. And thats a beauty of a bitch FH, well worth shopping around to put the right dog on her if she's doing the business. Worker to worker, thats the only way ahead to keep and improve lurchers, or any breed of working dogs come to think of it. Best of luck with it and let us know what you find to use, some pics of him would be nice to have a look at like. ATB B

  14. I have found Sudocrem ( babys arse rash cream) is good to initially stop the irritation, and helps to keep area clean for re-growth. Not a scientific approach I know, but it does work. Hope this helps mate. B
  15. Nice Bob , very nice. Keep at it mate. ATB B
  16. PM received and replied OTC, Many thanks. B
  17. Very interesting this, when I saw the name on the box. I have a 12 bore side by side hammer gun in my cabinet thats made by these people, never heard of them before but the previous info sheds some light on it now. Lovely gun, I wonder would it be worth much??, any thought on the matter gents ? ATB Bootsha

    Weed Killer

    Get some roundup biactive from your local supplier / farm stores, kills most weeds other than those with bark on them, garlon would be the answer to brambles, heathers etc. Roundup is safe to use in an area where animals are. once its dried its safe, its a translocated, or systemic herbicide that kills from the root to the tip, dead. Hope this helps. B
  20. A Baikal is the tool for you then HC, reliable to the end, and not expensive either if memory serves me well.
  21. Just like some others, had a baikal o/u for as long as I can remember, like two scaffold poles welded together and a firing mechanism at the other end, hardworking, hardwearing, yet simple and very effective. Use it and clean it, last you a lifetime. ATB B
  22. I know the fella who's dog your on about, and I hope it does come good for him, a young bitch with a lot of potential, tendon damage rarely repairs to 100% efficiency in my little experience, but hopefully it'll come good enough for him to work her again. Then there'll be no stopping Billy (private joke) ATB B
