Action/barrel moving within the stock scares me lol.
-
It’s unlikely to be me because it’s systematic shift that requires a rezero. Same story with ammo. I can switch the mounts round but what is the mechanism of failure that that will help with? Surely if there’s failure one way round then there will be the other? Cheers

Im using the hmr more this year and need it to be ‘right’ like the centre fire. Im sick of having to rezero after missing sitters. Its a 20” cz455 with vortex viper 30mm scope. Im assuming my problem is the 30 quid air rifle mounts but could be wrong. It’ll shoot nice for a day and then one day, probably after a knock be 4” off. Everything is tight. Thoughts? Picture because we all love a picture.

Listened to a JRE podcast at the weekend with Luke combs and he described something very similar. Except his was like what he called pure ocd or something. Said it was where his mind became fixated on a bad thought which would trigger adrenaline. It’d last for ages. He said the only way he overcame it was to just accept that whatever the thought was would happen. Kinda face the fear. Sounds similar though.

4am start, a haze in the air, sun below the hills, trousers sopping wet from the dew. Finish stalking by 8am and get breakfast on the go as the sun rises and warms you. Its very special to me.

It’s my favourite time of year and was my first journey south this year for the roe bucks… Very much needed with my life recently. The weather has been perfect and had the strap on my mask not snapped I’d have spent the hours between 8 and 6 attempting spear some mullet too.

I’ve literally been telling you that since forever. Likewise big bang doesn’t theorise how the universe came into existence.

Ah, fair. How far in?
-
I dunno but the first thing that comes to mind is the starstreak we sent. They pretty resistant to jamming or countermeasures by nature of the type of guidance system.
-
I wonder how they’re launching the storm shadow. It’s an air launched missile that’s not officially integrated with any platform they operate.

I don’t reckon this dog would just bite. It doesn’t trust anyone. I genuinely hope the dog comes right. But it belongs in the mountains. Not England.

The popularity of bull breeds, guarding breeds, and now exotic livestock guardian breeds is driven largely by wanting power at the end of the lead. 99% of people have no use for them and are attracted to them because they’re a bit of a level up. It’s like having a nice motor or a rollex. Status is a very appropriate term. Some lads can handle them, but most just make me shake my head. I expect I’ll be shooting a cast off Caucasian before long. I just hope it doesn’t take it causing life changing injury to someone before the decision is made.

Got to wonder about the type of copper who wants a gun in the uk. Not that I’m against it at all I just think they’re a questionable bunch. Magnum PI milsim types Probably got two more notches carved into the stock of that benelli! That said, it’s a shame but I find it difficult to give a shit about a couple more status dogs that have been flattened. Society is a f***ing wash with wankers and wanker dogs. And it’s terrible really that I feel that way, but dealing with problematic dogs has been too common an occurrence for me the last month.
-
But it does show the damage that’s been done and probably irreversibly so.

Sadly, I’m not sure reversing a ban would benefit the fox much. Shooting dominates the field sports heirachy. I live on the border of two of the big midlands packs, everywhere is shot and I can’t see that changing much if the ban was repealed.

There’re only two type of marines, royal marines, and submarines!

‘Asymmetric warfare’ wouldn’t exist if size or perceived strength were the only factors in war.
-
Hypersonics have terrified the west in recent years. This conflict will be such a learning and trialling opportunity in the field of counter-hypersonics. A lot of peace time competition is bluffing how game changing new technologies would be in a fight. This war is taking a layer of BS away from that and seeing what really works.
-
Don’t tease me!
-
Obviously chip paper by now but Finland have formally joined NATO. Doubling the NATO-Russian border.
-
I remember thinking the same about clockwork orange.

The comparison between Ukraine and Iraq is a good one and one I’ve been keenly making since Russia first moved last year. Iraq was logistically a more ambitious objective for the coalition than Ukraine is for Russia. And yet Iraq was comprehensively conquered within weeks… The greater political policy will forever be judged as a failure though. Militarily it was a huge success, politically it was a disaster. Russia failed to achieve the same level of military success.

Yep. Consistently been the cheapest around.

Drop another 15p and we’re back to pre covid prices.

You’ll be expecting Mars bars to be proper size again next!
