Hi, 

Did these sell? 

Ben

Don’t skimp and get a couple of Scopecoats.

Can recommend Chris at Spartan re-finishing. Good bloke and did a nice job on one of my rifles.

Well you both want to start hitting them in the right place, just behind the shoulder!!

Please enlighten me on how you get Charlie to to co-operate and stand broadside for you every time?!

Dear Op

  Think Iv butted in on conversations regarding 204R before but I’ll mention my findings again. I had a lovely Sako 85 in 204R with a 20 inch barrel and shot hundreds of foxes over a couple of years but could never get the velocity I wanted and after failing to get it rebarreled to a sensible 26 inch sold it. ( I only say sensible as I can’t see the point in running a high velocity round out of a short barrel if your chasing “laser tragectories” ). I got a bit pissed off with the 204R because I missed the odd one due to the small bullets 32-39 gn not bucking the wind all that well at 2-350m. Also the only foxes I had run shot with it were ones shoulder shot, which happened a few times. I came to the conclusion it didn’t penetrate all that well on say a big dog fox. 

If you want to cleanly kill foxes every time I’d recommend a .223 caliber pushing a 50-55gn bullet as fast as you can get it. Or better still a 6mm. 

If your only going to shoot the occasional fox and not go out in all weather get the 204R. But if your serious about it maybe get something other than what a lot of other people recommend as good for “rabbits and crows”. 

Ill say it again you can never over gun a fox!

Also interested if details could be posted?

She’s a beauty mate, my personal defender is an early td5 90 they are fantastic trucks, mines on nearly 200k and still purring. Good luck with the sale, it’s a good price with all the mods, a few dings and scratches only add character to a landy!

I now wear these all day all year, can’t fault them got a high pair also for the winter. 

Went off Meindl as the insoles wear through rapidly and the rubber rind peels off. 

They’re not cheap but my first pair are 4 years old now and still going strong after a lot of hard wear. Splash out treat your feet.

Scope sold many thanks. 

Hello mate replied and on hold for you. 

Thanks Lapua, tried to find a way to keep it but need to pay for a house move! ☹️

It’s Mil/Mil mate 

Hi Everyone 

With much regret I need to pass this on. Brought new from Optics Warehouse January this year. Fantastic bit of kit that Iv had on my 47L and used out to 1400m on steel and extended my precision vermin control game. 

First focal plane, CW turret. Scope is near perfect condition one slight mark on the knurling on the parallax knob shown in pictures. Glass perfect as had Tenebraex covers on which are included in the sale, as is the scope coat. 

Spuhr Sp-4601 mount included obviously 34mm with a 6mil/20.6moa cant. Perfect condition. 

All boxes and paperwork. Cost over £2600 new for the set up 

Asking £1925 couriered. 

For sale on Sd also

Thanks , Ben

Don’t suppose your coming down Devon way this summer? Would take the H414 if you are.

I should really slag you off at being a fekkin' braggart,   ooooooh look at me,   me with all my land and you other poor suckers can go and do one,  while I can shoot for miles in any bloody direction,  so  ya boo suckers.   But I find that you might just be my new very best friend BuckhurstBen lol.   Have fun

The feelings mutual.

F***ing funny stuff!! Makes me realise how lucky I am to have my own range of 1500 acres of beautiful Devon countyside that I can shoot what I want when I want. Mostly doing what all these rifles were designed for, killing stuff!!!
