  1. Can't go wrong with the conquest range, I would recommend them, my friend has a few as well and other optics, Glass quality is second to none, good tracking, if I'd not of bought the leupold for my .243, I'd deffo put on a conquest. And maybe have saved the guts of a grand
  2. Seems I've lost touch to post direct image's... used the direct link in PB...? hmmm rusty in this site now ....lol

  4. im glad to come back on here and hear that your confidence in the round is good, it makes all the difference... atb. Snap.
  5. .243 fallow deer 302 yards, .243 fox ranged at 437 yards, and shot slightly further out at night, couldn't find it as i was working next day, but my lamping partner found it,
  6. Also depends alot on rim thickness of each round, cud be a bad batch, But also treat the .17 hmr like a centre fire with regard to copper cleaning, it needs a good cleaning routine to keep it firing sweet, i suggest giving the rifle to a friend you know who can shoot, and give him 5 rounds from differing points in the ammo box, and see are the results the same... good luck, as above mounts bases, crown, trigger release point consistant with all shots...? Snap.
  7. Hmmmmm, faster isn't always better, and the .243 is as good a foxing round as any out there, i value the round so much that i got my tikka .243 s/s built into a custom rifle when the barrel had its time done, its a decision i have not regreted, and as a few on here who know me, have taken many foxes out to and over 400 yards at night, with longest being just under 440 yards, my prefered rounds fox fox are, 70g blitzking and 87g v-max. you won't get better if you homeload, my 2p worth..... Snap.
  8. yep not a bad ol stick, Happy birthday mate.......... Snap.
  9. was gonna get a wild dog a few years back, but like the mc millian A5 better, they look like a well made bit of gear, love to see a pic up.. Snap.
  10. As above down to personal choice, land and distance you shoot over, Both very capable rounds in the right hands, faster isn't always better, And if your killing your quarry at the ranges you intend to stay shooting at then get to know your gun and what it can really do, i Shoot .243, as a dual purpose deer/ fox gun, some say its a girls gun, but i soon put the laughing of their face when i hit the target they can't with a much larger round, getting to know your gun, and what a certain ammunation can do, and WILL do at distance, is better, only you know what you want f
  11. Lamping foxes,fishing, and long range shooting, and rough shooting.
  12. bright days can be a pain to so find a dull area to test...
  13. you may need diffusers over the sensors, if you haven't already tried that, as they are light sensitive, and small bore rifles and pellets need the diffusers, to help register the shot,
  14. just a tad under 6' 3" and 14 1/2 stone,
  15. The biggest business in Ireland is based around agriculture, And the goverments both north and south Cannot stand by, and just watch the businesses go down the pan, tens of thousands, of jobs depends on agriculture, from the fruit and veg sector to meats, and the processing, So assistance is vital. Snap.
  16. Yep agree the rear mount is a problem, and also seems to be at a slight angle, Best to get things right from the offset, Mounts do seem a little high also looking at the distance from barrel to btm, of objective, Good luck with the new gun, Snap.
  17. platoon, Snatch, We were soldiers, step brothers, Men Of Honour.
  18. Have a disco Td5 series 2 for 9 years, 2000 plate, never have any majot issues bar clutch plate change, only after i got it, and A gear box issue as some numpty at a garage put 80/90 in as the gear oil...!!! i service mine every 8 to 10 thousand, never had a bother, so it all depends on how it was looked after, Freelander i wouldn't touch, they are a minefield of problems with them.
