  1. FOR SALE BNIB never been out of the box Bought for a "Job" then the land owner [or rather son] had a change of mind. Link here to details etc: https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/yukon-sightline-n470s-digital-night-vision-rifle-scope Price: £600 NB this does NOT include carriage / postage at additional cost will be at your risk.
  2. They have eventually replaced the box and I've yet to get to a range and do anymore testing. This box seems better made. Will let you knoiw how I get on. Apols for the delay fallow cull took priority.
  3. we'll see tomorrow Chris. TBH I'm not a whinger. They look crooked like lopping off the top 2 feet of a christmas tree and and sticking it back on 3" left of centre
  4. I've bought a box of their 127g copper bullets to load test in .264. Considering they are promoted as long range bullets I have to say, the quality of construction is appallingly bad. The blue ballistic tips are not seated properly and when you look down from above at the loaded rounds in the ammo box, you cannot but notice, nice shiny copper crescents where the BT has been seated off centre, some quite markedly so. Has anyone else noticed this? I know Barnes has been sold to Sierra but I'm surprised at the poor quality of these bullets.
  5. An interesting thread, and please, if I'm hijacking just say so, as I am looking at the potential for a new club too. I'm currently a member of Bisley but my "shooting card" expired sometime ago pre covid and needs renewing before I can shoot. I'm predominantly a deer man and shot at Bisley just to zero really. Before I throw the towel in with Bisley whats out there? within 90mins of Bath
  6. Years ago, possibly more than 15 I visited a range owned by a chap called Clarke [I could be wrong] it was north of hereford and he was going to open a really longrange range but got into a bit of a kafuffle with the council. Anyone know the name of it and is it still open?

  9. Had a friend once he was a part time antiques dealer and his father was full time so had lots of auction experience. Told the story of auctioneers "bidding the wall" frequently. Hence you always stand at the back.
  10. I've been looking at either; 1. Re-barreling my M595 Or 2. Buying a completely new rifle. Without going into the cost breakdown here, I'm looking at the buying the above mentioned rifle in 7mm 08 but..... On the site I looked at, the same rifle in "Blue" clearly states the stock is fully adjustable whereas in "stainless" [also, the only one available in 7mm 08] there is no mention of the stock being adjustable. Does anyone know if the Tikka T3X CTR Stainless comes in a fully adjustable stock please?
  11. Having owned and worn a couple of pairs, I can confirm this is true, hence I don't own a pair now
  12. I remember being at some conference or other in the 90's and one strap line a guy used was, Zanussi's warranty was best in class . . .. Because they needed it O.o
  13. Sold to Adam Should anything go awry I'll give you the nod GO. Thanks OA
  14. I have for sale one of these: https://www.blackrifle.co.uk/The-Monkey-Clamp-Tripod-Mount-p/mclamp.htm Mine is Black in colour and has been used once. There are some light use marks on the one upright, hardly noticeable. £125 Posted
  15. No but I am starting to see the bolt face leaving marks on the head at 26g, Didn't notice at first until I had a real close look. I've bought a tub of N133 so will experiment with that shortly work permitting.
  16. Surprisingly, to me at least, my Rem 700 1 in 12 twist .223 shoots 60g VMax very well. I've used Vit N140 at the 26grain mark as a trial load but I'm flattening and cratering the primers a smidgen too much for my preference. Anyone else got a good load or powder they can recommend for this bullet wt please?
  17. My Approx location for collection is J17 M4 but am willing to travel a reasonable distance to make the sale.
  18. For Sale is my PARD 008 Only zero'd on my .223 had no more than 10Rds fired Just not getting used Age 12 months old was a birthday pressy Comes as bought new in the box with all paperwork and more detailed operating instructions. Cash or BACS only, would prefer F2F but willing to post at your cost. If we meet social distancing rules to apply £475
