    No kidding!... They all seem the same down here but genetic variations are possible in any species I guess.

    Mmmm I may have to take that on board, didn't effect the first one coming in but then sitting round lying in wait in the dark...a guilty pleasure which is an achillies heel tbh

    Ad I got a Nikko sterling game king 4-16x50 on my 455 and its cracking for the price...I've put six in a thumbnail at 100m's mate, I don't know what mag the mountmaster is running mate but I'd consider one of these for the price of £65 roughly.

    Just joking but its not aimed at you, I was making a statement of the top of the table rifles in modern times which is a toss up between the sako 85 and the tikka t3 (not my decision but probably on sales) just happens to not be german.
  7. celticrusader
    And who say's the Germans do it better! lol

    Ha ha ha....I hope your not lugging that round mate...the main reason for getting rid of my pulsar was it looked like a bloody BBC camera and weighed like one too.lol

    Don't forget mate there territory is free roaming...just might not be any close enough at your time to come in, and be careful not to over do it...they get wise.

    Don't worry Dan I've yet to christen mine.lol
  11. celticrusader
    Yeah they're trying to get rid of those mountmasters mate as they're problematic and keep braking. They're part of the come with rifles a lot of rfds are trying to sell.
  12. celticrusader
    What scope you running on it ad?
  13. celticrusader
    Ha ha good luck Dan, sqeaked one in the other night whilst sat in the back of the truck and watched him through the night vision from 200-100 yards then disappear in the large cropse near me and that was the last I saw of him...cottontail distress call worked tho lol

    You won't get pidgeons doing that mate

    Charlie caller I do fully agree as I've had this myself on my first stalk, on my belly crawling then crouched running to get into a spot to take that shot at just over the 140yrd mark at a small roe to be breathing out my a** and not being steady enough to take the shot. Also when borrowing a rifle its not the same as owning a rifle you have confidence in shot placement through your own experience, needless to say I came away empty handed first time around but I don't regret my decision and am proud I made the right choice. Moving through different calibres and different quarry provide

    You definatley need to put more ammo through it at varied ranges just to instill confidence into your new toy Dan, tbh mate its coz its new and you've yet to find you niche with it yet.
  17. celticrusader
    Oh I do agree Rowan and that's why I keep my .22 lr semi auto for those closer encounters and especially for stalking in as close and quiet as possible. Its all about what the environment dictates or allows and as these rifles are tools its about what's required at that specific time/venue. One thing is sure and that's by having higher magnification on a hmr for this job I/you or anybody would restrict there closer range shooting if you had something like a 6-24 x50 so a bit of thought has to be taken into account on what setup is to be used. You will loose out in one way or anothe

    Ha ha the one thing any hunter should have in his cabinet as an air rifle and I ain't got one...but at there prices you should get a good return mate.
  19. celticrusader
    Hope you got enough cash then mate coz that's gunna put a dent in anyone's wallet.lol
  20. celticrusader
    Very true...I do myself but we all know of the elusive ones that avoid us, in some fields I shoo they are so open and flat that by just entering one or two if them is enough for them to scare off for the night, so we sit at the required range which in my case is about just under the 200 yrd range but they are generally taken between -160yrds depending as there is a lot on the land and the position we use is very similar to a firing point... Raised ground with an over view of the field. As I'm out tonight if the weather permits I will post a PIC as I can show you as to what I mean.
  21. celticrusader
    Don't worry Dan...the way I'm going I'll probably bag deer before I get Charlie.lol
  22. celticrusader
    Well tbh if you have good enough magnification and the right circumstances it is easily achievable but things have to be taken into consideration, also at that range it does not necessarily have to be a headshot but an upper body shot. Don't forget this calibre was marketed as a 200-300 yard gun originally and the majority of people barely stretch it outside of the 150 yrd range. To say it was not a considered shot I believe is a bit harsh as you do not know the circumstances to judge, also I believe you have to take into account that you'll never be able completely irradicate the pro

    Down near Barry mate.
  24. celticrusader
    Right I believe the first thing to do is put it in comparison with another mag that doesn't do this, if you can see that the lip of the mag has been bent use a pair of pliers to gently alter...if all else has failed and at your own risk to damage mate. Hope your mag is metal otherwise that'll be pretty hard.
  25. celticrusader
    No it just depends on the quality of the land and its surroundings Dave, how close to buildings etc etc.
