One new pair Rovince ergoline trousers size 46 with tags.Not worn £70 posted. One pair Rovince ergoline trousers size 46 worn once only.Too small for me £35 posted. Drum.

On a stalking rifle i look for weight, sound reduction and then price. On a varmint/high volume of fire rifle i go for sound reduction, price then weight. Drum.

Using a mod on a rimfire and centrefire is usually discouraged on account of unburnt rimfire powder in the mod carrying the risk of been ignited when used on the centrefire.Never experienced it myself but have read threads warning about this. Drum

Ive set the rabbit boxes ,i expect to take between 200 and 300 rabbits tomorrow.This at the request of the farmers who need the grass .Wholesale slaughter Pete? Does it matter that i enjoy doing this or not? Mountain hare or the humble rabbit,when the numbers reach a level where you can kill these numbers this usually tells you that you should maybe think about lessening the numbers.

Serious question Pete,if these were rabbits would you be as outraged?

Legally classed as game,but how their numbers are controlled depends on the area,in wensleydale theyre not very common so arnt shot like the rabbit;which are in plague like numbers again.In other areas ive worked where the hare was numerous their numbers were controlled to keep visits from the 'caravan club' to a minimum so they were treated as 'vermin' .All depends on the ammount of hares in the area and the impact they have as to how theyre classified by the individual.

+1 for the lanolin and alcohol.Used lee and rcbs in the past but the above works much better for me.

Is this the one i swapped you for the broken nightforce nxs? If it is its 35mm tube and it went back to ior to get a fault repaired,not just a full service.something you should have tried doing with the scope you swapped for it. Hope this helps.

I rang the SGC yesterday and explained the problem,they were very helpful and told me to post it to them and theyd sort it.So hopefully things will work out ok. Thanks for all your advice.

I think something internally has given up so hopefully it will be covered by the warranty.Time will tell though.

Thats encouraging.I will be sending it to nightforce for certain.

Its encouraging that you got a good conclusion eventually.Could i ask whether you sent it back via a distributer or on your own? If you sent it back yourself,did you contact nightforce first? Paul

It wont track reliably.If you put on 4 clicks at 100 yards it may move 6 inch up and 2 inch right.It will hold a group though.However if i then move 4 clicks down it will move randomly.Almost like each click has a random value.

I believe they have an unlimited warranty.I will give SGC a bell on monday.

I swapped scopes with a chap and it soon became obvious why he wanted to swap.Anyhow the scope ive been lumbered with,an nxs,needs to go back for warranty work.Anyone had any experience doing this bearing in mind i have no receipt.Thanks in advance. Paul

Im sure you will be happy with the z aim.Once set up they work pretty well.If you dont get on with it id happily swap with you. ATB

I would agree with whats been said about the niggleoh,works ok when side mounted but i found the rifle slopped about when mounted on the underside of the stock.Went with the z-aim.Much more secure in my experience.I have a niggleoh which i could let you have a lend of if you like.If you want to keep it i will happily sell it to you for the price of a z aim.

Its a 1 in 9 walther but 1 in 12 would be fine.

The sierra 63 grain smp is effective on roe,very easy to tune a load for too.I think the 223,if you are aware of its range limitations ,has a place in a stalkers cabinet,not an open hill caliber for sure,but for close range,forestry use its adequate.

I had cause to send one back for repair.Emails to ior went unanswered but opticswarehouse sorted everything even though it was originally bought from Border .Scope was sent back repaired and serviced so i was happy with the service.Took a month i seem to recall.

I have the factory hs stock on a cz and while it is a nice stock it is also very short. It certainly suits some types of shooting positions better than others. I'm sure you've handled one but if you havnt it might be a good idea to have a look at one before parting with 500 quid. Drum

I have shot a cz 22wmr for nearly 20 years,and to be honest wouldnt buy another.The ammunition is getting too pricey now ,and not many shops in this part of the country stock it.But saying that it is quite hard hitting out to 100 yards or maybe a little more,so long as the wind isnt blowing can be reasonably accurate .On a good day mine can hold an inch at 100 yards but any wind and its best to leave it at home.I run the hornady bt's in mine but the 40 grain hp's get the most out of the calibre ,the 30 grain loads really leave a lot to be desired at 100 yards.Also the last batches of hornady vmax i got had the same split neck problems of its 17 hmr cousin.Have shot fox out to around 100 yards and have been happy with the terminal effects though shot placement is critical and with any wind at all this becomes quite difficult to guarantee.Certainly, in my opinion, it kills fox size animals cleaner than the 17 hmr ,and i do have both,but as i,m sure you know there are better tools for the job.
