    Yeh cool its your land but you lot totally miss the point as i said STRESS & DISTURBANCE can cause serious impact on nesting birds & general wildlife. Its that attatude of its my lad that makes it ok then despite the distress caused that makes it ok fair enough SORRY. Why you think the right to roam act stipulates that dogs should be on a lead at said time of year. Stress is a killer on nesting birds you only need to go to a happy hen/free range egg laying facility to show how the egg production goes down when charlie starts to do the rounds due to STRESS. I am a dog owner myself &

    Hi donza11 roebuck220 is correct & i know fact iv been there done it but i also used to work where we managed the deer. There is a big problem with groups of stags comming of the hill/forestry & comming into grass & siliage & do damage & when you have 100+ stags in & farmers moaning they need shot. My mate up north had 200-300 stags comming into a field of tates & pulling up the tates in july but couldent shoot them due to some red tape/politics.

    Im sure that is a pic that was in the Sun a few years back & that lady had driven 20+ miles with it in the front like that to her work. They got the rspca in & they took it away it survived & was ok ok just a little bit cut & shocked & recoverd think it was released too cant remember.

    I have exactly the same issue with my Fabarm Eurolion, my gun will NOT cycle 65mm cartridges at all!!! 67mm or longer cartridges are no problem whatsoever, so my advice is stick with the longer cartridges Ade Mine is a lion 368 black/syn 6-shot 3-4yrs old & is great but it dose work the 65mm carts but is likely to jam at some point with them. As i said with the 67mm & up its faultless but i have kinda sold it now but the buyer aint paid in full yet but i still have it. I got the beretta urika 2 black/syn & it shoots 65mm nobother it aint jamed since i got it .

    Iv shot for 21yrs & 5's are the choice for me at every thing ie doos/rabbits/crows/game etc normally 30g dose me. If im on the hares i up it to 32g or 4's. I normally go for price on carts as im not that flush but if i can get 5's great but i get on great with 6's/7's etc too.

    For fox i vary between amber on my lightforce SL170 & i have a clusion LA10 2million candle which i dont have a fillter kit yet for but just shine it off them a bit if not so keen. I found the red good for our rabbits but i vary it about between the amber & normal.

    36g Varget & 87g v-max but there is plenty to choose from the v-max range & Varget is the powder of choice for this cal.

    Try asking round rifle builders ie jacksons they will be able to help. Im sure you can get a McMillian lazzeronie inlet for the sako not sure but it will cost £400-£600 & you could wait 3-4months + & it still needs bedding etc. As i said phone round jacksons/SYSS/riflecraft/rg-rifles etc the list goes on hope this helps.

    Hi im in Angus Scotland under taypolice & they changed 5-6yrs ago to the fact that you can only but bullet heads as to the amount on your ticket to purchase/aquire. we used to be able to buy as much & what we liked then over night they changed the law & we had to go to our local RFD & give them heads to hold for us as we were over our maximum to hold at anyone time. I work a 22.250 & 25/06 & can buy 200 hold 300 for each cal. Arveyboy you can buy a box of 100 heads but your RFD Can only give you 60 out of it then next day you can go in & get the rest as said either

    Hi some semi-autos struggle with 65mm(2,1/2") cartridges but you get 67mm too in (2,1/2") my Fabarm 6-shot jamed with the 65mm but 67mm & up it was great. The higher brass is pressure so the cartridge loaded can take more as in heavyer loads. Mine cycled light loads fine just not that reliable on 65mm stuff but if the gun is new it should work from the start. Try some 70mm(2,3/4") carts & see how that goes. I have a beretta urika 2 & it shoots every thing no problem.

    Its only illegal on the calender as said many stags are shot on some estates in scotland due to tick etc. Another problem is that the stags come into the grass at this time of year & do cause alot of damage. I have ground not far from me were they come in & i tryed to get permission on land to get them as DCS would grant a licence quite easy to shoot them as they are comming out forestry & will genrally stand up to you at this time of year so you can bag a few. Some estates even work catches to drive the No. down a bit savage but as said they ar labeled as vermin pitty really.
