I Googled Sabatti to have a look. No gen on the single-shots, but a review in Shooting Times of the 4-shot rated it highly. Apparently sold as "value for money", they said it was well built, nothing flash but far more than cheap'n'cheerful. 1*MOA at 100 yds with factory ammo, Sub 1/2*MOA with handloads. Sweet handling in the field. The S/S ought to be more accurate still. That was a .308. Ric

Larf? I peed mesen. Many years ago me and a few o't lads were walkin' back across the churchyard. Stopped for a spliff on't way, like yer do. One of the lads crashed right out. There was a grave dug for a funeral next day. We carried him over, laid him in, and covered him with leaves up to his neck, and flukked off. Next day he wakes up, throws major panic attack and the assembled mourners went totally doolally tap. I forgot to say we'd stripped him stark bollock naked before we buried him. When he jumped out the grave and legged it there were three more funerals in a week. Dunno why . .

I've just been for a few beers round town. It's pissing down wi' rain. Why is it that blokes carry umberjigs high, and make sure they stay clear of other folk, while the lassies hold 'em low and ignore everybody else? 5 times today some stupid cow has done her best to fluxing blind me! And if I shout "watch it you dumb bitch" I'm a sexist machismo chauvinist pig. Sorry, nowt to do with hunting. But why the difference? Come on ladies, why? Ric

Let's just hope that what goes around comes around. The dogs ain't to blame but if the chavs end up face down in the street YIPPEE! Ric

Good remark by a newspaper writer. "I respect you too much as a person to respect the ridiculous views you hold". Ric

Depends how p*ssed you are. Ric

Put your rimmy down as "Purpose - rabbits, small pest species and cpportunistic fox. Tell your FEO at interview that you won't be deliberately out for fox but if Charley pops his head out of the hedge 50 yds away it's RIP Charles. You are unlikely to get a rimmy for "the purpose of shooting fox" only, no matter what rhe law says but that wording should be acceptable. Ric

Notice how they ignore the message, blame the messenger? Ric

Bit off topic and I DON'T WANT TO START A ROW WITH THE DOGMEN, OK? If you are killing invasive pests then any humane method is acceptable. But it seems to me that if you are after good pelts then the best tool would be a small centrefire. A .22 Hornet or even a .17 Remington centre fire should make a tiny entrance hole, blow up inside and not exit at all. Sensible comments please guys. This is an honest question. Ric.

When shooting vermin you are required BY LAW to use expanding ammunition in order to ensure a humane kill. Ric

thaught the rounds used for this were actually called Gallery roundsand are a down loaded version of the .22 rim,Nt sure but i think subs would be far too powerfull / dangerous to use on stalls... LD That's what I thought. LR case with .22 short powder load. The rifles were always chained to the booth. Fun tho'. Still got me marksman badges from the booth in Sandown. 10 million tons of chalk make a pretty good backstop.

12"-15" long blackthorn stick, broken carefully away from the main branch. Trimmed with a sharp knife. 4" at the thin end wrapped in cloth handlebar tape. Thick end drilled crossways and down, holes filled with lead. DO NOT CARRY IN PUBLIC. Mine's called Skullcracker. Ric

Damn right bro. The town I used to live in had three laughingly so-called veterinary practices. Two were total rip-off artists amd crap vets. The third was sort of OK but not much cop really. There was also a practice in a village a few miles off which mainly served the farmers. They were 'kin ace! When one of my terriers was in trouble giving birth, I rang these vets, he said get her over here and we'll check her out. Speed limit? What speed limit? I carried her in to the surgery and the vet took her into his arms. She calmed down at once; he did a quick internal and said "Yup, there's a big

Lousy advice I'm afraid Clint. Dogs are NOT "the same as humans only less weight". They can react very differently to drugs, including antibiotics. Giving a dog a smaller dose of a drug designed for humans is likely to do more harm than good. No way am I defending vets' pricing, but sometimes you have to accept that the b'staard has got you by the short and curlies. Ric

I think we all agree here. If the dog can still have a decent life as a dog then let it. But to keep a dog alive 'cos "I can't bear to be without him?" In my book only a total shithead would do that. Ric

If you can still give the dog a good life then keep her. A mate's whippet x broke a front leg in a rabbit hole and the limb had to be amputated. She could still get around like a streak of lightning. Couldn't catch a cold but she loved trying to keep up with her old oppo's. Look at the quality of the beast's life. If a dog has its tail up give it a fair crack. Elsewise 20cc of scopolamine is the kindest option. But it hurts. I had to have one of my wee terriers pts. 10 years of love and trust rewarded with a needle in her leg. I still feel guilty. Ric

As HZ says, using subs zeroed for 40 yds should give you +/- 2" from under the muzzle to 60 yrds. Lay the crosshairs dead on and s-s-qu-e-ze. Ric
