Boyds any good? Ridiculous cheap.

£223.99 if bought in the UK, annoying as you used to be able to get them delived to your door for £125 (depending on exchange rate), I do like Boyds but I find the pistol grips a little on the slim side

Richards microfit (I have one on my M595) and Boyds both have inlets in various styles, Boyds aren't the bargain they once were and you might have to wait for a sale to buy direct or buy through sportsman guncentre , not sure what Richards microfit policy is on sending to the UK

Any stock could be made to fit, cost might be the issue preventing it.  The later Tikka's (T3) are different actions, not as deep and not totally flat, I think if you google tikka actions it will show a picture of an M595 and T3 side by side

SA80 sling, ideally have the swivels mounted on the side of the stock.  The rifle will be diagonal across the front of the body, undo the fastex clip and it will release (but still be attached to the body) to allow you to shoot

Arktis Defender, I spent a few hours lying prone in the snow at -4° and never felt cold, although for general shooting a snipers smock would be ideal and just buy a cheap waterproof to put over it when the rain comes

Look for neoprene water battle covers

Can't say any of them are deserving of a vote

S4 is good but offers little protection and is difficult to souce

Harkila to me have the superior harness and gives very good comfort, the bino caddy is good but the magnet will struggle with larger/RF style bino's

I currently have an athalon pouch, comfy, but I added a bungee closure as again the magnet struggled

Ridgeline have just brought out their version which looks good but I have no experience of it.

For reference my bino's are Leica 10x42 Geovid

I think the stuff used in reptile (whatever you call their tanks) is walnut media, so a pet shop should be a source

Google, portable reloading bench, lots of ideas to get you started

This is what I did

What about something like this

My experience with my Kestrel 2000 when the screen stopped working.

UK supplier, nothing we can do although there is a black friday sale on this weekend

Kestrel themselves, nothing we can do, although you can send it back to us, we will recondition it and give it to a US sniper #freedom (I added the freedom bit)

Both said sorry this doesn't normal happen

Didn't Dave Theobald (Theoben) do this with an FX air rifle, the last few inches was externally pressed and not cut.  There was talk of using it on RF as well but don't think anything came of it

Odd question, but what size are the legs that slot into the target frame in the range butts please, 2"x2" pehaps

Thanks matey , so theres not one for magpie ??? As these are the 2 main culprets carrion crows and magpies - altho id normally shoot all crows as they all predate in some way shape or form . In all fairness jays don't seem to affect the livestock on the shoots , but they would predate ground nesting birds and songbird nests / chicks - they had ann’s wren nest last year ( neighbor ) now that really pizzed me off as the wrens here are pretty scarce now .

You need to apply for 19/03, apparently a few have done it and had it returned quickly

Quicksteel gives a nice finish and is easy to work with

Look at these pair of back stabbers, Gove needs sacking.

Is that real or photoshopped?

If you want a really versatile sling, try the SA80 one.  Its designed to be side mounted so works best if your rifle accommodates this.  You can use it back pack still, or what I find really useful is having it diagonal across my front, then with the unlocking of a QR buckle it can be shouldered but is still attached to your body, quite handy and reassuring when climbing and shooting from high seats

To be honest, the quality is very good, I still use it as a normal sling, its just the cross strap never felt right to me and the rifle did slop a bit.  The niggeloh on the other hand is rock solid , to unsling I just slip one arm through a strap and unsling as normal.  Or you can undo the QR buckle but I've never found the need
