  1. What a utter muppet! Must have been either blind, drunk, forgot their glasses or using a hand gun to miss from that range.
  2. Or dodging spiders and falling branches
  3. Tonight I'd promised my son he could lamp for me so we donned our cammo clothing and went out with the Howa 243. Headed straight down to my 2nd high seat - against a tree and it's covered in false widows! Great! So there we stood, me squeaking and son lamping on and off. Saw Charlie but he was being cautious! Had a conversation going with Charlie and he kept moving. We weren't the wrong side of the wind but someone on another field was banging off shots. Spotted Charlie again so gave another squeak to which my boy says"dad, what do you sound like a duck?" Well at that moment he had a
  4. why have you got your fingers crossed? for your dad or for you? dont know the details of this but if i've read this right it's because of your past that has caused the concern here with the FLO so not sure its quite appropriate to be crossing fingers for your own gain. (unless of course you are doing that purely for your dad) re-reading the comments above don't fill me with confidence but then only you know all the details so its only an opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
  5. good job, bet you never forget those ramps ever again though!
  6. Now it's gone so off topic ! If the guy is dumb enough to offer then that's his error. If you are happy to do it then that's your error and lack of judgement. So go off and do what you will and be happy.
  7. After what seems like an age, scope is on, barrel sighted onto paper, 5 shots to zero at 50'yards (would have been less but I wound the windage the wrong way first time) 1 shot at 100 yards and right in the centre. Now, just to try it on basil brush tomorrow!
  8. Unlucky for the lad, least he missed clean eh! Always next time
  9. That sounds not right to me, have a look at some you tube clips on these
  10. Yummy breakfast there Rich! Good stalking
  11. Stay clear of cci's! Tried them and like Paulus, I had the same thing. Re the new packaging wins, they do seem a little punchier. Thought it was maybe the odd one but looks like something is different given the results as you describe.
  12. thee are places you can go to get "fitted" where you get to actually fire some shots and i found these to be the most helpful. Others offer a fitting service for a price and you get bombarded with tech info. Trouble is that unless you get the names, models, specs then you can end up going to too many gunsmiths and get too many that fit. so i agree with the above (im looking for my first too) so from now on im keeping it simple like Yokel says
  13. can i ask if it was any good and to what range. pm me if necessary cheers
  14. That's a good point and they are only temporarily fixed there for now. You should see the battery size i'm testing with for the camera/screen I've seen one of these Yukon Photon 5x42 Digital Night Vision Riflescope that looks interesting for my 22
