    T3's tend to get a slagging but for the life of me I can't figure out why. As you can see from my sig I have both and side by side there is very little in it. I understand that the 595/695 have a Sako barrel, which is nice, but any other differences are very hard to detect unless you are blueprinting (my opinion). I am not biased toward one make of rifle though, it just happened that I ended up with these two rifles, I didn't specifically hold out for anything in particular. At the end of the day you should get to grips with as many rifles as possible and pick what you like best. I w

    George a second hand rifle is allways a slight gamble, I am happy to by a second hand shotgun however if you buy through a large dealer and at time of purchase you ask for a note to be added to your purchase invoice that the sale is subject to you testing the rifle and should you not be happy with its performance that they will return ALL money's without question and get them just to sign behind their words. Any proper RFD will be happy to do just that. they should ask to put say a 7 or 14 day window on the deal. Sound advice

    All my rifles have been second hand but that says more about me than the rifles . If t'were I, I would be holding out for a Tikka m595 as these are cracking rifles, some would say better than some of Sako's recent offerings (takes cover), and you can always get a bore scope down it if purchasing from an RFD. Saying that, I wouldn't say no to a new T3 so maybe you should have a look and see what's about, weigh up the differences and whether you want a guarantee etc. First choice - used m595 Second choice - used T3 My opinion of course but there are a lot of 'used' rifles out there

    How could they tell that from normal you? Well, it happens from time to time I guess. I was surprised to find the little fox on the grass, decided against taking that photo tbh. First thought was where did the fox get that dog pup? Until closer examination it was a fox. Strange...I thought you were a .22-250 man John. Must be someone else. No TT, I'm on my 2nd .223, never had a .22-250. Ah well, I won't hold it against you lol :thumbs-up:

    I don't think going it alone and learning by trial and error (which is what it will be) is the best approach. Cram as much information into yourself as possible and then go out with an experienced stalker, you will find the penny dropping fast and often, and it is easier to learn if you have done all the reading previously. DSC courses are a good start and are quickly becoming prerequisites for certain stalking opportunities. You can't beat face to face knowledge transfer though, but if you if you are going to pay for it be prepared to dig deep

    Just bought one of these to add to the steadily growing collection of calls. Hope it works where my others don't.

    Absolutely, I always pick up and have even picked up after other choppers have been round my land without permission. Just waiting to catch em...

    Welcome to you Oz. I might be firing some questions back at you when I decide whether to move down under or not

    The mags are interchangable. I will fit.

    I originally used 120grn BT's in my 6.5 but the amount of damage they were causing on deer put a stop to that straight away. I have moved onto 140grn SP which I find much better. I will only use BT's on fox and varmints now.

    I've had a few on an afternoon but I haven't been out specifically foxing at the time. They tended to be young 'ens as well, came pounding in to the squeek and you have to shout to stop them for the shot

    A lot of the questions are still the same so when used with the book it is a good revision tool. As log as you know which answers are now wrong that is

    Stop doing this. No problems here. 35 yds is fine for .17HMR zero. Point and click out to 120yds.
  16. Treacle Trackpad
    Nice one. Good buzz eh?

  18. Treacle Trackpad
    i presume you are talking about air rifles? surely not a .17hmr zero'd @ 35 yards? Why not? I used to zero mine at 35 yds, it was then 'flat' out to 120. Easy peasy

    RICOCHET Blimey, and there's me thinking all this time that 1+1=2. Well you live and learn.

    If we're insisting on getting things correct shouldn't it be two C's? Just asking like...

    I remember asking my FEO at the time, whether I could still go out shooting when my cert was in for variation, he told me that I needed to be able to produce it when asked for it so no. Now I just take the shottie out when my FAC is away, and wait patiently for it to return. Pants really when they have everything on the computer anyway.

    +1 for the ase cqb. i would ge tthe compact now tho due to being able to use on bigger calibers in the future Nah...get both
  23. Treacle Trackpad
    Ase Utra Jet-Z CQB for the .222. You'll never look back and you won't be humping a Panzerfaust round on the end of your rifle

    Sorry Clint, it's 7mm or .270 minimum. http://police.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/operational-policing/HO-Firearms-Guidance2835.pdf?view=Binary page 77 Page 77 refers you to paragraph 13.25 which I have pasted below: 13.25 Authority may be requested to shoot animals which fall outside the scope of usual types of game or vermin, for example feral goat or wild boar. The type of rifle authorised should be appropriate to the quarry species, for example .270, .30-06 or .308 or greater for wild boar. Hope this helps. TT
