Accuracy international make ours. Bespoke to the rifle. (Interchangeable between rifles)
However iv only ever used it on a range it's very rarely used on Op's unless your tier 1 of course.
The T8 is probably mil spec but to which mil spec there are loads. All I know it's a bloody good moderator. And a worthy purchase

next you will be saying its all linked to drug gangs and people trafficking, steeling is steeling whether rural or not, poaching is poaching both are different in law. you do not poach sheep you steel them, you don't steel deer you poach them. rural crime is on the increase because its the easy option compared to towns and cities. the thing is most rural crime is not pre meditated and as such is hard if not impossible to predict,I don't know what you guys do for a living, but just shy of £300 a night is good in my book. And how does topping up their beer fund negate the fact it's illeagal and causes distress. Me coming into your house and taking your TV and jewelry would top up my beer fund, doesn't make me acceptable or a tolerated loverble rouge one presumed you painting poachers as.
Iv seen cases in Cornwall where 200 sheep have been taken. The cost of blackheaded dorper coming in at around £400 for good blood lines. Now I know this doesn't come under the poaching remit but a example of the bigger picture.
You can argue the case it's easier to be a drug dealer but poaching and rural crime is on a increase. And the points of viability or how much a man makes is neglible. The point is it's costing land owners a lot of money, and there is no justification for that.
That's what I just said isn't it? Steeling sheep isn't under the poaching remit.
I'm very well aware and converse with the law, I spent months researching. And frankly this thread is boring me. If you support poaching that's your business.
The end fact is Poaching is illeagal, and the team we run will be working with local police to catch and prosecute those that do so.

Night vision is certainly a great step forward. Books like "Danny The Champion of the World" would have read a lot different hey.
I also use thermal imaging now too, which really brings a new depth to things.

Granted the poachers of past were to feed their family.
But like any crime it pulls in people trying to make huge amounts of money, and with big money means big intent. Iv seen reports of gangs of men working together. No doubt linked to other rural crime.
Paulus. Technology is merely a aid, infact tracking a person doing wrong isn't too hard regardless of the local knowledge. Simply because when your doing wrong your nature changes, your habits change. It's a science. Again I'm not going to go into the process were going to employ but it's not as simple as turning up and sitting around waiting. And the proportion of poachers in the UK with "counter intelligence" skill set as you say is probably minuscule, these courses are only reserved for a select few people in the military. So our TCP's will in large widely be unknown. And even harder to evade.

How you finding you S&B walshie
It's a Docter. Only put it on this morning. Haven't tried it in the field yet mate.
Iv got a 6x 42 Docter on my HMR and it's bloody good. But looking at a S&B for my .223

With out going too far into it, I'm heading up a UK based team working on counter poaching.
Iv worked in South Sudan, Kenya. And Zimbabwe through my career doing counter poaching or tracking. Mainly converting rebel groups into "reserve wardens" the fee they get for their knowledge of the ground out weighs their need then to become a rebel. It works.
Now back to England, the team will comprise of only top line ex military with Recce or similar experience with Jungle Tracking experience. We will be able to provide consultancy and more versatile counter poaching activities with a reaction plan should poachers be spotted.
Poachers in the UK have been getting away with this for decades, with technology etc. not any more. The techniques we use are proven techniques used in warfare to track the likes of jihadist groups in Helmand and any where else in the world the British army had been.
Poachers won't be able to see us, but we will see them and document their activities then interdict them. So if your a poacher, we may very well be watching you.
The legal bits are being tied up, and support from the police is developing as we don't have the right to arrest. Two of the big estates in Wiltshire have expressed urgent interest with a further 3 more in the Berkshire and Kent area.
We should be online at the end of this year.
Poaching is a crime, and you will get caught and you will be prosecuted.

Good lad, the S&B cost £350 it was a no brainer. A close buddy was clearing out his collection of scopes

Did you not sell it mate, I brought the S&B now

Iv just had one too, only shot it once over Christmas but certainly muffles the report

I'd cut her in half if I found out she was screwing around lol

My staffy is the tamest thing on earth....but I still won't let him off the lead. He was bitten by a little jack russle once whilst we were out beating. His response was shocking. He became almost out of control I'm sure if I hadn't of stopped he'd of killed it.
He's quite happy on a lead, and I occasionally take him to roam around my paddocks off the lead. But being a responsible dog owner I'd never let him out any other way.
I could t of asked for a better dog to be a pal of mine, but that's the trade off.
Another good point, he's major protective over my wife. We we're play fighting one day in the garden and he snapped at me. I have no doubt if some one was to break into our house whilst I was away they'd have the wrong end of him.

I couldn't be arsed to read the full post. But my staffy bit a drunken intruder one night on our land.
The poor sod had walked down the lane thinking he was going home, infact he was walking the wrong way.
Long story short he required hospital treatment, I informed the police straight away. It went along the lines of. He wasn't invited onto my property, and I had signs up warning of a loose dog.
Nothing was done, but your best of imedietly informing the old bill yourself.

You'd need some serious RSJ support there. That's horrendous. She needs to stop kidding her self and get running

Istrelok on the iPhone

I'll not bore you, I spent 4 years of my career talking Mildot and ballistics.
What I am going to say is download the Istrelok app if you have a iPhone that will give you a good idea of the hold over at each range

As above, just can't get on with it, as I need a compact rifle so going to go back to reflex.
Superb sound moderating properties, not had it long at all, good condition as it had sniper tape on it to protect the mod.
£200 or offers.
