Ellma fudd ? Is it wabbit season ?

Or a busty receptionist ?

Did anyone receive and use scorpion chamber reamer by any chance ? May be looking to have a set made but seen bowers earlier but didn't think to ask doh ! atb

Hi ally , i considered the 17 hornet a while back , but its too much like my 20 practical trajectory and speed wise , the squirrel will suit two of my shoots well , have an edge on hmr , and be reloadable , using the hornet parent case . Apparently QL recons firing 20 grain Vmax at upto and over 3100 , not too far from the 17 hornet , but quiter slightly . Resale value ? Its being built to keep and could allways be rebarreled back to 17 / 22 hornet . If you could see what im planning to build , its a little beauty .

I dont , on that farm anyway , they love to skulk around the farm near barns , farmers house is just to left , a small caravan park to the right and sheep almost every where else in the small field in between it all . There are alot more field futher out . However many i shoot there more replace them , i do cringe sometimes when caravaners are sat out in summer reading paper then my 2o prac goes off lol there only 150-200 away , hence i need a hmr replacement ! ( 17 squirrel ) should be the perfect 150-200 yard magpie basher , quieter than the .20 id imagine - but thats another story . Back to bait , rabbit normally works , theyl have the eye out fast and sometimes be gone , did that in summer in this farmyard thinking on it , only had to wait 10 minutes for the first ! That day i used air 177 - finished with 3 i think .

Went out early afternoon to do some magpie culling , on 1 farm . Using my 20 practical ranges were relativeley short around 200 yards . I park up in farm yard and set up just under barn , shooting off top of van / i regularly do this . So got magpie #1 in first field about 180 something , waited a while and heard another chattering up in tree above its comrade untill it decided to come down - pissh-smack ! Waited a bit longer and another eventually came along - pissh-smack again ! Tidy 3 in bag . Spotted a 4th but a long way out , i ranged it at 550 so decided to pull out the 6br , dialled the 10 odd moa wind acounted for , shot and it went just over its back ! Bugger , but from a clean bore so , had it been a fox , different outcome . Never mind , the best shot i switched back to the practical as a carrion crow @370 was skulking around a field to the right 3¼ moa dialled aimed a hint right -no wind in barn ! but it was about 1mph in field , waited for right moment , sent it and he went down - luvlee jublee , i absolutely love this 20 it hardly ever missis !

Bump anyone got anything new for us to perv at ?

Great news hope it works , will try son . As for Lucy - she is everywhere !! from the film - you know !

Sean , i bought one sometime back now , it looks clear , crisp , reticule looks medium thickness ( Z-plex ) , recon it will be good for bunnys and crow out to past 500 i recon ok i have only looked thru it and played with turrets , im waiting for 6BR slot to come back ( thats wat its goin on ) , thats going to be my crow fox and First deer gun

Opportunistic little ba××tuds , skeet lol , you mite as well use a punt gun on em , an ARV may be there pretty soon lol. May need tree surgeon for tree they were in . Im on the hunt tomorrow for our black and white feathered quarry ! Will post if i have decent results Todays hunt / Sunday , ok i didn't manage any magpie , but i managed to down 3 woodies and 4 carrion, all but 1 crow was taken from the top of 2 or 3 trees in my valley shoot , - Perfect backstop etc , its only 120 acres but perfect rifle sniping ground . Wind was strong and variable and wasn't 90 degree either , all shots between 260-280 apart from the last shot . I spotted and decided to try and stalk a magpie , using a large bush to conceal my approach . When i got down and sighted in heed gone . But not 5 minutes had passed and a young carrion was near the same spot but a little futher out . Ranged @329yards . Steep downhill / cosine effect etc i knew it would be about 1"/½ to 2" high impact . So dialled 2moa - kept cheaking grass / tree tops / sheeps wool on fencing all giving me a better idea what wind was upto , it paid off ,i shot , he momentarily jumped and landed on his back wings open but now still. Funny thing was when i got there id got him in the head but aimed for body , in my hast to shoot id aimed centre mass but still impact seemed too high so i cheak my zero , 1 " high @200 !!! Then headed home , good shot i thought

Actually this load could be perfect for stalking point blank butterflys !

Well guess who got 3 magpies today and 6 other corvids today ? Mememe But the 3rd magpie smashed my pb on magpies @380 yard head-shot too ! In a valley with almost still wind . This shot was made a whole lot easier as looking down the line of flight , i was blessed with those light fluffy things in the air , out to 200 ish they were coming head on but from there onwards and at target they were sliiightly right to left . So i aimed 1" right - sweet when i seen him tumble out the tree . Think my previous was 278 yard . but two of the other corvids were also 373 and 351 yards , missed my first clean cold bore at 170 odd , but after that hit everything dead !

Same as , had an invite the other weekend shootin one of these gongs and crows for a day , and enjoyed these gongs so much i ordered a couple 200 & 300mm the other day less than 48 hours later they at home ready to go , great service great targets . 600 - 1000 yards here we come

I love this precision work and admire smiths . Id also love to see it being done , what caliber is it ? 6.5 sumink? - oops edit ! Saum

RIP OFF Britain

That crow was shot at somewhere around 325 yards in the heed if i remember correctly , but the thing that i remember more was this rifle never shot that consistent . throwing shots off now and again like 6" off at 300 sometimes , and on that day id gone for a centre mass body hit !

All im going to say is 695 here we come

Thank you Sir Fizz ill work it out soon lol blody computer . On the green targets ill repeat the circled ones and will go up .1 to 23.6 just to see ! Big thank-you to niel AKA Dasherman for building the rifle , im very happy with it as it replaces an attempt a few years back at a custom build that would struggle to do these groups at 100 . Moving on tho ! The thing that still amazes me it the krieger barrel is clean in about 8 patches - thats with 1or2 with oil then a dry one ! Sweet - one happy bunny ! Ps the stock is the original one from about 6 years back when it was a 223rem vls , its properly pillar bedded , but will get replaced at some point / need proper cheek piece / adjustable job , cheers Ps PC you know that im going to go 695

ok on laptop - now fixed . Now going to try to post my first picture ! if it works im going to feel like iv won the lottery ERROR this file was too big to upload ! balls - photo bucket ! still cant FKN do it , been trying since this original post tonite

finally the wait is over , had the call from niel today saying its ready - SWEEET ! So before i sent in my FAC i phoned to ask how long are the variation taking ? Ooh about a week ! So now 3 week i still no joy - there getting a call from me tomorrow would you believe it lol. Not loosing my cool btw !

These scopes are awsome almost bought 1 but had to remember that iv got NXS 5-22x56 so didnt , i just wanted something different on new build . You need 2nd focal plane and if your dialing the normal plex reticule id say , the varmint and 800 , 1000 reticule have too many lines going on - IF you dial , atb-tim

Iv noticed allot less maggies in the garden , and allot more young ones out the nest mainly identified by there short tails and flittering wings by there parent bird !

Very nice PC , what action is it ?

Aah it might be Dolphin gun company , my mistake - but still mite be wrong brock and norris have one by john i believe as well ! My next one will be a panda style but have to le-aze about this
