Snap - yes, right call. You must have been in these triage situations. When emergency crews are on site they have to make a three way decision. If someone can survive with first aid, give quick help and move on. Then you have the hard one. If a victim is going to die walk away and let her die. If she has a chance then you do everything you can to save her. In this one the guy had a horrifying choice. If he tried to save his son and failed he would lose both. If he saved his wife then tried to save his son he could be sure of saving one and might save the other. Ric

Well! All credit to the Swiss. There are four minarets in Switzerland. Radical Islamists wanted to build another 20 FFS. The Swiss held a plebiscite and 65% of Swiss citizens said NO. No more minarets any more . . . Some of yez may be surprised that I support the Swiss. Those who can tell culture from race will know better. Ric

Bruce Potts in Shooting UK magazine tested the Remi .17 and the Hornet. Liked 'em both, split the difference and built an Ackley .17 Hornet. Rates it the dog's naughty bits. Ric

Gods forbid that I should ever have to make that choice. Imagine the feelings of the mother if she knows that she is alive at the expense of the life of her child.

Standard Trotskyist entryism. Join up and subvert from the inside. I agree, looks very dodgy. Ric

Yes we're certainly in a bad shape T.O. Yes, wonder how many jocks we have in this country (England), milking the system? Oh you poor thing, you can't even spell, it's Englanistan!!! Only when using The Bigot's Dictionary Well then kiz,If a "bigot" means I prefer my taxes to be used to help the struggling British people of this country, IE young working families to bring up thier children, and make sure the pensioners in this country who have paid thier taxes, receive proper care and heating during the winter, rather than throughing it away on foreign spongers, then I will p

Kid stuff. Should have got him a Komodo. 10 ft long, 150 lbs, poisonous bite, eat people. Who needs an attack dog with one of those round the back? Ric

The same "news" site also carries a report that "Jesus may have visited England". Do you believe everything you read in the press? Ric

What do you mean "vinyl records did the job"? I have 10.000 LPs and a terrifyingly expensive system to play them and they blow all this digital crap into the weeds. Until you hear Janis Joplin on a supercut vinyl singing Road Block you ain't lived. Mark you, I heard her sing it live on the IOW same year as Bobby and Jimi . . . RicW aka the old hippie. On the other hand look at the 6.5x55.

Read this thread and the answer is obvious. The most ignorant arrogant stupid bunch of snivelling self-righteous scum in the world are the English. Ric Now queue up chaps. One at a time. . .

For ultimate long-range accuracy you'll need the Norma 6mm BR. It is not the same chambering as the Remington 6mmbr; Norma developed a special bullet, longer than the 6mmbr, to get the highest possible BC. So if that's your choice you'll need a 28" Pacmor barrel. As consolation you can try to emulate the American 1000yd bench shooters who can put 25 successive rounds in a 3" group. 0.3deg. MOA at 1000yds. Dial in the drop and windage put the crosshairs on Charley's chest. Job done. Then the ultimate deranged varmint buster is the 5mm/35 SMC. This uses a 6mm br case necked down to 5mm/.204

OK. Someone has to stick his neck out and ask the obvious question. Just [bANNED TEXT] da fuk is a harkila keino? Sounds like a big tough dog to me but it might be a new martial arts technique for all I know. Fess up guys. RicW i done the obvious and googled it... http://www.scottcountry.co.uk/products_detail.asp?productID=2668 Thank you! Amazing bit of kit! Now all I have to do is work out the volume of my dog . . .

Maltenby you are not wrong. One model of global warming suggests that the "British Isles" may become the most desirable piece of real estate on the planet by around 2100. Unfortunately there will be 8 billion people trying to live here. Gonna get a bit crowded methinks . . . There is another model though, and this one gets really interesting. The warm climate of the UK and Northern Europe depends completely on the Gulf Stream Drift bringing warm water up from the Pacific on the surface while carrying cold water back deep down. If the Gulf Stream Drift turns off then we will have the same cli

If there's a full-on Ice Age lack of crops is going to be the least of your problems. A kilometer or more of ice might constitute a bigger problem. And the timescale for the onset of this is a couple of decades MAX, not centuries. Ho-Ho it is to joke. When - not if, when - sea level rises by 10 metres and the total land area available for human habitation drops by 20% we will have no problem with food, at least for a while. We will be eating each other. Sadly, the 3rd Law of thermodynamics won't let us do this for long. I've said it before and I say it again. GLOBAL WARMIN

'Ning Ric. Going to have to run with the conspiracy theorists on this one. It is scientific fact that we are currently going through a period of cooling at the moment. I have no doubt that the "human" contribution is a factor but it certainly isn't the root cause. Deforrestation, over population, and burning fossil fuels will not help at all. However there is overwhelming evidence that we could possibly be entering into another ice age. You have to admit that it is odd that governments are quite keen to introduce green taxes and at the same time do nothing about the issue thay are saying

OK, I haven't built it yet but I've done a lot of my dreaded armchair research. Mr L has said that he became concerned about .204 'cos his Howa wouldn't stabilise 40gr and he was leary about using 32gr for long-range fox, while he can use up to 55gr in his .223. Absolutely fair comment. Yet Blackfox has a nominal 1-12 twist barrel which stabilises 39gr Blitzkings. I will go for a faster twist rate barrel to ensure stabilising <40gr and Hornady 45gr SJHP. I am going to need a long range fox gun for use over the Downs. If I can use 32gr that will be a bonus, but my priority will be long range

Spell "it" with a silent "p"? there is no "p" in "it" so of course it's silent. One up to me I reckon! Your turn now . . . Ric just going for a p
