  1. If you plan to lug it around while you are out hunting then definitely the lighter the better. If you want to lay on a shooting mat all day in one position then perhaps the heavier barrel will suit. Believe me, by the time you add a moderator and scope and all the other bits & pieces that we like to attach to rifles I guarantee that the thing will weigh a bloody ton!
  2. Alright mate? I used to reload for my 22-250 before I let it go. I used to love it. . Have a chat with Bigad on this forum. He has just got into reloading himself. I let him have a pile of brass just the other week. I occasionally shot 55 grain out of mine, but the head that it really used to like was the 40 grain Nosler BTs. 4100 fps. . It was like having a laser-guided missile in you hands! Cheers. Tremo
  3. Cheers guys. Yes, every one who doesn't know what really goes on in the countryside believe that they are harmless fluffy little animals. . One of my local landowners was distraught. Believe it or not they were not only taking newborns, but lambs that were two weeks old. Crazy stuff. My setup? Tikka Lite .223. - 55 grain Varmageddon handload - Photon XTreme (105mm lens) - NM800 with AS pill and Xsearcher head. I had another one again last night. It is like gunfight at the OK Corral around here at the moment. . I'm on permanent night shift covering all my land. Good hunt
  4. I'm guessing then that you are not planning to hand that cup back next year? :laugh:
  5. I have Mark. Da12 area. I only have .22 closed so have to get written permission send it off before I'm allowed to shoot the land. if you have a closed condition, I.E words to the effect, the .22 rf rifle and sound moderator,shall be used for shooting ground game and vermin, over land deemed suitable by the chief constable for the area the land is situated, you do not need to send in permission slips before shooting, PROVIDING the land is passed for a .22 or above, and you have permission obviously.I think that's the thing with the closed license is that you do need to send in the permission
  6. Mmmmmm ............... OK then, I've sulked enough. Walshie, have a look at a Hardy. I have a Gen IV on my 17 Hornet and I thoroughly recommend them. I could not get over just how much it supresses the sound. To me it sounds quieter than my old HMR when fired. . Bonkers eh? A CF quieter than a RF?? I had a SAK and then Swift Nightingale on the HMR before I sold it. Tremo
  7. Cheers chaps. Dropped another one last night as well .....
  8. I was going to suggest one .............. but then I saw the photo that you are currently using for your profile.
  9. Photon Xtreme + Quantum HD50s. Another two big dogs again last night. I can't speak highly enough of my gear at the moment. Every time I go out I feel super confident knowing that if a fox is dumb enough to show itself then it is curtains. I caught the second one with half a big lamb stuffed in his face. . Night-night.
  10. I purchased one of these Dan. https://www.firstpersonview.co.uk/recorders-dvrs/fpv-pocket-dvr It is an absolutely superb unit. I did this test footage week or two ago. I'll get some more footage up there when I get some time. Tremo
  11. It might be worth requesting a slot for a small centrefire (.222, .223), if your FEO will allow, even though you might not be using it straight away. This sport gets a grip of you very quickly and before you know it you will be wanting to move on from rabbits. Whenever you apply for your grant and/or variations always try to best-guess what your requirements may be for the future. This will save you cash and additional waiting times on application processing.
  12. Rabid has the right idea. Add-ons are a ball-ache. Dedicated is by far the best option.
  13. I used to clean my SAK in the early (and more enthusiastic) days. I don't bother these days. I'm too busy chasing foxes around farms! . Like SS says, for £35 it is not worth the fanny around. Besides that I know a guy who has never cleaned is and he too has put 1000s through the rifle. He adamantly believes that it aids with the suppression on a rimmy.
  14. My T3 .22-250 didn't like Hornady at all. Not even when went from factory ammo to I reloading using the 52gr A-Max heads.
  15. I don't believe that we are too far away from this chum. Wales is almost subaquatic these days. I'm tempted to chop in my fox gun for a Greener Harpoon "We are going to need a bigger boat ..........".
  16. Hi John. I've never heard it mentioned before. It looks OK though, if you want to use it on an air rifle. I watched a Youtube vid of a guy from the US with it on his hand gun ................. waste of time. You were seeing more footage of the treeline and sky because of the recoil. ATB Tremo
  17. As Merlin21 said. This is a common "feature" ( ) with Photons.
  18. no hope for him now down hill from here ! more hobbies Too true. Once you have been bitten by the bug you are forever lost.
  19. Yes, a very flat shooting round. Like you say, pretty much point and shoot. Shropshire Dan is another big advocate of the .22-250. . Have a chat with him about it. PM replied Bigad. We have a new member in the world of reloading.
  20. I don't believe that we are too far away from this chum. Wales is almost subaquatic these days.
  21. P.S. Those dies are still here. I have them on ebay right now, but if they don't sell I'll let you have them for a good price ( ) if you are interested in reloading for your new beast. get them if you can bigad and the cases if there there, again its good kit to start with ! Neck sizing die has gone I'm afraid. The Full Length sizing is still here, as well as the brass. I've just tumbled the brass as well.
  22. Like Deker said ............ it is in a different family. It is the rifle that can give the HMR, his bigger brother and all his brother's mates a good arse kicking at the same time ...... on its own! By the way, it is a good looking rig mate. You are going to have a great deal of fun. P.S. Those dies are still here. I have them on ebay right now, but if they don't sell I'll let you have them for a good price ( ) if you are interested in reloading for your new beast.
  23. This video shows you everything that you need to know about the 870. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MprVOZrB2rY You can't beat the videos from over the other side of the pond eh?? :laugh:
