  1. get them drinking goats milk out the same bowl, just keep your eye on them, sooner the better Think I might have left it a little late, tried them together but the patt just wanted to go for them. I will keep trying in small doses. Thanks for the help.
  2. In the country end of June plus 2 weeks for proofing, before open sale.
  3. Where do you start there is so many to choose from. I prefer the remote hill lochs, and favour those north of ullapool, near Achiltibuie, but I also fish the hill lochs at Ardnamurchan, which are also great.
  4. You can test the theory from the gunshop about the reticle shifting when booming in and out, by rezeroing the rifle on low mag, chocking the rifle so that it can't move, and then zooming in to max mag. If its true, then the scope is at fault, but I will be surprised if it is off. If this was happening then your rounds would always go off one way. I think he speaks with forked tounge.
  5. I have heard of this with second focal plane scopes but have not experienced it. One of my early Instructors always used to insist that the scope should be zeroed at max magnification to prevent this, plus we always shoot at max mag, unless sub 50.
  6. He runs at them in their runs, and they jump along playing with him! There is a gap of a out 4" under one of the cages and he keeps doing that Patterdale crawl under the cage which drives them mad! Don't know whether I will be able to trust him with them tho, I'm thinking he will hunt anything that moves, what do you think?
  7. You mean looking at you fondly!! Yes it is mate its much sharper than the other one. ATB
  8. Turning into a little bugger now, funny as anything, but it still hasnt worked out where squirrels go when they run around the back of trees.lol
  9. Now if you were a welshman I could understand those photos. Haha. Very good.
  10. Gareth. You say that you zero it and then when you get it out each time, it is off either left or right. Are you then rezeroing it each time? If you are, then you could be adjusting for a positional error each time, and chasing the zero. Faults such as loose screws often result in inconsistent groups, and not necessarily groups in the wrong place. If that makes sense.
  11. It would more than likely be consistently off, or scattered.
  12. Greg that's why I said a different position each time would cause a lateral spread, not a different position per say.
  13. Every time the same, including elbow positions the same in prone. Slipping elbow or different position each time can cause a lateral spread, but from what you are saying you are still getting a tight group.
  14. Gareth. Get your mate or some other competent shooter to have a go with it. If the same problem exists with them, each time you take it out then you can rule out a positional problem. If it is bang on for them each time, or at least if they group in the same place each time, you can rule out a problem with the rifle. You haven't said what experience you have with scope, but have you set the rifle up to fit you, so that when your cheek is naturally resting on the stock with no use of your neck muscles, you have a perfect and Sharp circle of light, with no fuzzy edging or shadowing around it
  15. We will see, but your first prediction may prove right. One thing is for certain is that some will love it and others won't see the point of it. Not sure whether it can be reloaded yet.
  16. Yes you may be right, but its worth a look at, and I love what they did coming out with the hmr. After all if we didn't look at new calibres we would still all be on muskets.
  17. Just having a little read a out the new hornady .17 hornet. What a cracking round that sounds like, trajectory of a .223 out to 300, 3600fps, less barrel wear and recoil than the .17 remmington! 20gr bullet. For fox and long range corvids, that sounds like my kind of rifle. Can't wait for some reviews of that one!
  18. i certainly wouldnt be putting oil inside a mod on a centrefire you will end up with a big bang!! i'm no gun expert but, it was advice given to me by someone who has had guns along time, and i dont plaster it in heavy oil, just spray it out with WD40, and been doing it since i've had it,which has gotta be around 8 years now, and had no problems, so cant be a bad thing, but your entitle to your opinion, cheers, jay, WD 40 is what is recommended by manufacturer.
  19. Wd40 is ok. This is the ase utra next to t8.
