The deal to get out of Afghanistan was signed by Donald Trump Joe Biden was legally bound by the terms of the deal signed by the orange idiot and had no choice in the matter Cheers Bruce

I think you mean 20 Vartarg, Varget is type of powder Cheers Bruce

Buy from Torchy or Fogstar The Ecolux/Ampsplus site has been showing no stock on every item for a few weeks now 5 amp rated batteries are fine for an NV scope. The 10 amp/ 20 amp/30 amp etc batteries tend to be more expensive and have lower capacities This is probably the best "bang for your buck" 18650 on the Fogstar site https://www.fogstar.co.uk/collections/18650-batteries/products/samsung-35e-18650-battery If you don't already have a charger, then I recommend Nitecore i4 or D4 Cheers Bruce

If you can find someone in the UK who who has some, it's not illegal to buy it. It's only illegal to import it But, as has been said, you'd be far better off working up a load with an equivalent powder that is legal and is (relatively) easily available Cheers Bruce

I've been running CCI clean blue subsonic for a while now and not had a cracker The CCI website says 1070 fps and chronoing about 30 rounds gave a maximum MV of 1089, minimum of 1045 with an average of 1074 I know they are no hollow points and should not be used on live quarry, but in my experience hollow points just go straight through rabbits anyway - so what's the difference A head shot with either bullet is an instant kill and a chest shot with either bullet will not kill instantly, but the rabbit will dead a few seconds later. Cheers Bruce

Depends how much you mean by "not much", but basically you're looking at £1k for a new thermal monocular that has decent performance Used will be cheaper, but not that much Cheers Bruce

Definitely not worth it except for uncommon sizes and loadings Cheers Bruce

Yes - but it depends on the details of the offence and the attitude of your local police force Cheers Bruce

That's part of the plan!! - they want you to think it's too much bother That gives them less work and fewer guns to worry about If you want a gun and have good reason, then stick with it. Remember, the Firearms Act states quite clearly that if the applicant meets the conditions laid down in the Act, the Chief Officer of Police SHALL grant a certificate - not should or maybe or "if he feels like it" he SHALL grant a certificate because the law says he has no choice in the matter Cheers Bruce

Cheers Bruce

Normal for UPS - anything they think might be gun related they hold and send the receiver a form to complete saying what the items are. It's annoying, but no big deal.#If you want to get the stuff you ordered, complete the form and wait for delivery - simples Cheers Bruce

Because the version that OW are selling does not have an illuminated reticle Basically there was a screwup between Riton in the USA and the factory in Japan where the scopes were being made Either Riton forgot to specify they wanted an illuminated reticle or the Japanese manufacturer forgot to fit an illuminated reticle Either way, Riton did not want the scopes so the Japanese manufacturer sold them off cheap to OW I have one and it's an OK dayscope which I use only for load development purposes because I like the ret and the magnification It's very poor at dusk - making it much more of a target scope than a hunting scope Cheers Bruce

You might be better putting this up as a Youtube video. Most antivirus programs are going to block it as potentially dangerous and not everybody has a zip file extractor. Cheers Bruce

When Russ Douglas an i did our initial review of the DS35 We found that the ocular lens had an adjustment range of about 42mm - far longer than any other scope either of us has ever seen I wear reading glasses which are +2.5 or +3 dioptres and need to have the ocular screwed out to around 40mm to get the reticle and icons in focus (when not wearing glasses) Russ wears +1.5 dioptre glasses and he had the ocular less extended than me to get the reticle and icons in focus, but he was able to get everything in focus If you wear +1.75 dioptre glasses, I'm surprised you can't get the ocular into a position where the reticle and icons are in focus Cheers Bruce
