  1. With regards to the larger calibre, you may need the ground cleared even though you have an open ticket. Some forces (mine included) want a named bit of land associated with your "good reason" and that named bit of ground needs to be cleared to the appropriate calibre. I've just been through renewal and have an open ticket. The first bit of land I put forward to cover all my rifles had only historically been cleared to .223. They were happy to come out and clear it to a higher calibre but that would have delayed things so I just sent another permission form to cover my larger calibres.
  2. Never used, just been sat in a drawer for a while so might as well have a clear out. £100 new so £65 + P&P. Advertised elsewhere.
  3. Sorry admin - my profile wasn't up to date - hopefully now all tickety boo and ad is compliant.
  4. Well it's been used, but it's really hard to find any evidence! Absolutely mint condition - any inspection welcome. Glass perfect, no ring marks. Everything there, including sunshade, BT adjustment tool, manual and cleaning cloth (never even opened). All the details are in the photos but it's the 1/4MOA version with 4WX-I+ illuminated reticle.Probably the scope I'll always regret selling but I'm not doing any range work now and just too much for the stalking I do these days. £1,950 including insured, recorded delivery. Advertised elsewhere.Appreciate it's a lot of scope and folk haven't huge amounts of disposable cash at the minute but I'm in no rush to sell so I'll keep popping in to bump now and then. If anyone wants to view it then I'm just on the Eastern edge of the Peak District.
  5. Does it do other chamberings?? 🤣
  6. I'm sure there's a huge market for a decent mag for custom builds! I've got a lovely 6.5-284 built on a Bighorn action and the only thing I don't like is the big, clumsy, clattery AI mag. It feeds fine (thanks to a bit of fettling by Ronin) but it's just agricultural compared the rifle action. A decent magazine would make the world of difference.

    Trail cam

    I couldn't get on with rechargeable batteries on trailcams (as much as I tried - including Eneloops which are supposed to be the best). They wouldn't last a fraction of the time a decent duracell would. Bought in decent size boxes off Amazon they aren't that pricey.
  8. It’s ok, no passwords breached. Only home addresses and phone numbers. FFS. Thanfully they only had old details for me. Account deleted (which is now an option). Suspect this could be the end of guntrader - shows the importance of cyber security.
  9. I think GMP sent these out a few years ago when I was living there. I carefully filed in the B1N file.
  10. Had the old Lee auto prime - basic, but it just worked. But the plastic got brittle and the lid snapped off primer tray so I bought the newer style. Heap of crap. I’d never before had primers seated sideways but after 4 of these over about 50 cases (and subsequently having to dismantle the thing to try and get the case with protruding, sideways primer out of the case holder...) I chucked it in the bin in disgust
  11. TTSX like a jump. Barnes recommend starting at 50 thou and going up from there.
  12. Fell out of the ugly tree. And hit every branch on the way down. And one my granny used to say (referring to a relationship between two individuals who you don't rate): Well at least they'll not spoil two houses.
  13. No issue here - consistent 1/3 MOA with copper (GS Custom bullets) and sub 1/2 MOA with Barnes TTSX.
  14. Try finely chopped / minced chorizo (normal or spicy). No need to worry about cooking right through as you do with bacon / pork fat so you can leave them a bit pink in the middle.
  15. I’m not sure it was meant in the way it came across, as I’m sure many of us have shot deer which staggered and we knew were going down but didn’t immediately follow up with a second shot as it was unnecessary. However the wording of your post does suggest an unnecessary lack of compassion and is rather distasteful.
