  2. Summer job

    in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management

    Posted

    We are looking for a summer worker, to start immediately, to take part in all aspects of game rearing from egg collecting to release to wood. Must be able to work alongside a hardworking team. It would be valuable experience for anyone hoping to get into keepering.  Must be local to Lockerbie as there is no accommodation  with job.

    I do like those older BSAs :yes:

     ....... For me, I think that's a damn near perfect shape for a break barrel. I love the way the metalwork sweeps down into the handle and, that the front of the stock covers the cocking link (Weihrauch should take note ;) )

     

    Get some pictures up of it's groupings mate :thumbs:

    It's an underlever not a break barrel

    This is what the antis don't see. That left alone, the countryside isn't in balance and many of our diminishing songbirds would be very much more diminished.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    One of the biggest problems around where I live is magpies because no one is controlling them. Put food out for certain birds, and it's not unusual to have 10 magpies in the garden within minutes. If each one is paired with a female (or is female) and each one lays at least 1 egg in a local songbird nest, then that's at least 10 songbird nests locally that are going to have no youngsters. In a small area, that's a lot of birds effectively not breeding and why we have so few songbirds left. The antis need to escape away from urban legend and animal rights propaganda and wake up to how the countryside really functions and how it's out of balance and need careful control.

     

     

    Anyway, nice shot!

    Are you talking magpies or cuckoos laying in other nests?

  7. Browning 17 Hmr T-Bolt

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say the t bolt has a sweet trigger. My mate bought a 22lr t bolt and the trigger is awful. He's even fitted an extra trigger to double the leverage on it. There are petitions on the web trying to get the aftermarket trigger boys to come up with an answer to no avail. Let's hope browning have come to their senses and fitted a better trigger on the newer rifles like yours seems to have.

    Sat around my sons pens at release time last year and he tipped deer guts out in open areas to draw them. It worked a treat. I shot 14 over the week I was there. We've also shot them over fallen stock, sheep, in the past.

    Andy

    PS he put the bait out a couple of days before I arrived

    PPS. I have the advantage of a thermal imager for spotting and a dedicated nv scope. You'd probably be okay with a lamp if you don't mind long shots, and you can range find everything in daylight and make a mental note of ranges to various points.

    That's right, Andy.

     

    The HTH-751 and HTH-752 are both unsupported. All of Clive's models are the new incarnation and have supported front lens.

     

    George

     

    Have you got a link to one of these supported lens models of Clives? I've got a couple of his SDN6's and they don't seem to be supported anywhere.
