https://www.accringtonsurgical.co.uk/product/lane-tissue-forceps/ "Ultralight" and "cheap" don't really mix. I was mentored by a massively-experienced professional stalker/ghillie in the northern Highlands. His opinion was that he wanted clients to arrive with a stainless steel, synthetic-stocked rifle, fitted with a scope which either was 6-power, or whose zoom range included 6-power. He had over 3,000 deer to his credit, and had used and/or owned rifles in virtually every stalking calibre used in the UK. When he simply wanted a tool to get the job done, his first instinct was to reach for his Sako 75 stainless in 6.5x55mm SE. His go-to ammo for the '75 was PPU 139gr soft points. I listened, and followed his advice. My No.1 stalking rifle is a Sako 85 Finnlight in 6.5.x 55mm topped with a Schmidt & Bender Klassik 3-12 x 50 with the illuminated L7 reticle: I use only factory Norma ammo with the 120gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip. It shoots ½ MOA groups off the bench, and is devastating on the smaller species I shoot. If I were invited to stalk reds again, or sika, I'd probably select a 140gr. bullet. I carry 8x42 binoculars (in my case Swarovski EL Range). I use and recommend Southwick quad sticks and a Napier Apex Predator bumbag/rucksack. (YouTube videos available on both). For knives I use a Mora Companion Heavy Duty in orange, and an EKA ball-tipped tripe knife, also in orange. I also use and recommend a pair of surgical tissue forceps for use in dissecting out the anus. As others have said, the best advice is to seek a professional mentor. Safe, happy shooting, and good eating! maximus otter

Thanks, I'll have a look. I think I'm still a member on AirgunBBS... maximus otter

👍 Thanks for your efforts on my behalf. maximus otter

Thanks! If l take anyone up on an offer, before and after pics will be published! maximus otter

Thanks for the kind offer. l don’t “do” any form of social media; l was hoping for someone with a website. maximus otter

l still own my first ever rifle, a 1969 BSA Super Meteor in .22, serial number TE 315** lt’s in rag order, and currently resides in pieces in my garage, the legendary “box of bits” that every gunsmith dreams of receiving to be worked on... 😂 My question: Does anyone know of a reputable, trained, experienced air rifle restoration expert who could breathe new life into the treasured companion of my formative years? l would be willing to spend a reasonable three-figure sum; what l don’t want is somebody’s brother-in-law with a hammer and a rusty set of carpenter’s screwdrivers, or “my mate Geoff down the pub”. Thoughts, gents? maximus otter

Signed. Come on everyone, let’s give the whining antis a thumb in the eye! maximus otter

Done some time ago. Get it completed, everyone: l don’t want to have to wait until my RFD, 15 miles away, opens for business before l can fill out the paperwork to draw my rifle and go stalking... 🤮 maximus otter

Nutnfancy has done a presentation on the Sig Cross in 6.5 Creedmoor. He found serious flaws in the trigger rendering it unsafe, including not firing when the trigger was pressed, but firing when the pressure was removed; also firing when the bolt was manipulated with no pressure on the trigger.

All this hysteria for a disease which kills one eighth of one percent of those who catch it. Average age of those dying of Covid in the UK: 82.4 years. Average life expectancy of a boy born last year in the UK: 79 years. maximus otter

No disrespect to Jackal, but I don't see even £20 here. maximus otter

I'm looking at these devices - £20 is cheap? - and I'm wondering why anyone couldn't make one out of: 8" elastic cord A 60p cord lock A Bic Crystal ballpoint pen tube A 3" x 3" laminated "dope" sheet - and some glue? ❓ maximus otter

Can you read dates, John? Also, giving out your email address and phone number for all to see is not a good idea... maximus otter
