make sure you use minimum 70mm cartridges mate, If you still have problems then get it back to them. Mine will cycle any load as long as the case is 70mm or longer.

i would doubt the light gathering proprties are any better..... both scopes are of identical component parts just assembled in different countries. Build quality ? you'll never know any difference except the price, go for the Hungarian atb Alan

Nice one Matt, i think you did him a favour mate from the look of him,we get a lot of ticks on the forestry culls but nothing like that. From the last pic i assume you have the Bear Grylls box set

Nice one David mate I got off the mark on saturday morning, just a wee spiker but its a start it was good to have the time to get out again. speak soon mate.

Firearms certificate question
brno17 replied to MR TEA POT's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
What conditions does it have against your rifle mate ? on my FAC the different calibres have obviously different conditions, the centrefires have deer and fox conditioned i.e. condition 6a applies, but this condition doesnt apply to the rimfires, they would only have 6b,6c and 6d. It may be that all the tickets from your force are printed this way, for instance if you got a grant for a 243 it would be conditioned with 6a but might not have 6b on it. hope this makes sense !! -
Good do boys and another great write up 4 less to worry about. good shooting Matt, feels good when it all goes right keep at em !!

Great to hear you're getting out again Martin, just takes time to get back to match fitness.I'm sure if you asked Dropper nicely he would let you sit in his roesack and him carry you round lol, i seem to remember a post about him carrying two does out of a valley without much of a problem lol never even broke sweat !! -

its not a songbird you need mate its a call bird, basically one of the same species youre targeting. you can either ask any keepers you know if they would lend you one until you catch one of your own (this is unlikely to happen though ), or put bait in both sides of the trap and jam the doors open for a few days until they get used to going in and feeding then set both sides and you should get one, maybe two if your lucky. keep moving the trap around every few days and make sure the call bird has sufficient water and food. Good Luck !!! atb Alan.

Now that is never gonna happen is it Hywel?? but which one of you gave it the Marty Feldman look ATB Alan.

+1 for this I always like to hide the pink bits . if i'm in a highseat I dont bother but on foot I always wear cammo veil and gloves. Even if you bump a beast it will nearly always pause for a look back just a shade longer than if your face and hands are bare mostly offering a shot. Colourblind they may be but they do recognise skin tone and to me if they spot your face staring back at them they bolt, I've been up close in woodland and they just look at you almost puzzled, wondering what you are then begin feeding again.
