  1. Not that I know of in West Scotland, but if you are close to Glasgow you can fly to Southend and I will meet you there for a demo.
  2. This is what I could get in 10 minutes this morning as I have masses to do before heating to the shooing show. It's jerky as I was also using a rangefinder at the same time, plus it was freezing cold and I was on the way to a squash match so really inappropriately dressed. Shot with the an 384 4.5-18x scope, handheld so I didn't get arrested. http://www.opticalsolutions.uk/footage/labrador at 206m.MOV http://www.opticalsolutions.uk/footage/golf at 94m.MOV http://www.opticalsolutions.uk/footage/golf at 274m.MOV http://www.opticalsolutions.uk/footage/golf at 471m.
  3. Okay, tonight I would need SCUBA kit to go outside, but it is forecast to be better tomorrow
  4. Pick what distance and I will go and record it as soon as the rain stops. I can't guarantee a fox, but I should be able to persuade my neighbours whippet to pose for you
  5. I don't know what part of Kent you are in, but if you can brave a drive across Essex into the bottom of Suffolk you are welcome to see the two in action and form your own opinion
  6. Rabid, I worked for many years supplying in IT related sales and treated all my customers with respect, so don't see why I should stop now.
  7. It's really easy to say anything you like on line, so an argument is pointless, but anyone who likes is welcome to come and look at the complete range. If they want to bring down any other manufacturers products to do a comparison I am also happy with that.
  8. The ATN X-Sights and MARS thermal scopes all have the same three options. 1) Choose a reticule with aimpoints and learn what they relate to the same as with any day scope. The reticule acts as though it is in the second focal plane, ie stays the same size as you zoom the image, so you need to allow for the same way you do with a SFP day scope. 2) Once you have input your ballistic coefficients, scope height etc, you can input the distance you have estimated the target to be at and the ballistic calculator with move the aim point accordingly. There is also an option to aim to the
  9. They don't have anything below a thousand, but if you want to try all the ATN scopes there is an open evening at the Little Brown Jug in Tonbridge next Tuesday. http://www.opticalsolutions.uk/index.php?route=information/eventslittlebrownjug
  10. Let me know when you are next down in Suffolk. I can show you everything at Felixstowe, or give John Bidwell a call as I am sure he won't mind you looking at them at High Lodge are long as they aren't attached to the top of a rifle.
  11. Just in case anyone wants to try the ATN thermal scopes or see the latest Spartan bipods/tripod and is anywhere near Suffolk this Friday...... http://www.opticalsolutions.uk/index.php?route=information/eventsbranthambull
  12. I used to be poor, didn't have a job or car, didn't wash and didn't get up before midday..... ...then I started walking past a church each day and suddenly had money, a purpose in life and was always up by 7am and showered every day.. That's either proof of god, or (as some cynics might claim) purely due to me finishing University :)
  13. probably the 2x if running boar are your main target.
  14. The simplest way is to kidnap an English deer, smuggle him into Scotland, tape the antlers on and then let him find his own way home I can send you a muntjac from Suffolk if you like, but I am not sure how strong their necks are.....
  15. I think it was shot in Australia....
  16. And why are they proposing a jail term for carrying acid for a SECOND time? Is there any good reason to carry it the first time?
  17. If you sever the spinal column or destroy the brain a rabbit can spasm for around 30 seconds which can look a lot like it is trying to jump away. I have had this with a lot of head shots with a 17HMR, but it is clearly brain dead when there is clearly no brain left.
  18. That's a lucky place to be hunting; a lot less bullet drop and much better terminal ballistics, but what do you shoot at on the moon?
  19. Sounds like a valve not opening properly so giving less power to the shot. Then after a few shots it has loosened up. How old is it? Has it been "serviced" by someone who used the wrong lubricants?
  20. It's pretty difficult to look through the bore of a 10/22...
  21. I have already put them in every waiting room I can.....
  22. 70 now and still tidying up, eventually I will find the piece of paper I am looking for.....
  23. Just checking if anyone wants these before I get rid of them, mainly BASC, the others older. Collection only as I am sure they aren't worth to the cost of postage to anyone. I had a lot more but gave them away anywhere I could to try and get young people reading about country pursuits.
