Unbelievable this site sometimes.I swear some folk would argue over day and night.I merely offered up some advice given to me by a gunsmith whose opinion I value...I never said it was his knowledge he imparted or did I ask. him from whence it came...following that gem it would appear that I have spent all my life stealing information from others..best stop learning whilst I still have my freedom then.Btw I read that article myself at a later date
Some folk need to get a grip,a life or both.
I think you will find theres a few who dont value that particular gunsmiths opinion hence the anti.

Used both, first the Winchester M70 .30-06, then the Remington 700, 7.62, the Winchester with an 8x Unertl scope, the Remington, Redfield 3-9x.
How could anyone possibly shoot long range accurately witha 3-9 scope , any fool knows you need at least 8-32 x56

Yep .243w , ideal for fox and smaller deer , just get the right twist.

Anyone looked at Doxa if you like divers watches big and chunky. Original Sub 250 not too big and nice orange dial makes a difference/ talking point . Nice bracelets too . Only on the web I think
They appear to all be over £2k , the OP was looking for a £200 watch.

I think the niche for .17HMR is that FEO`s are happy to allow first time FAC holders have the calibre , most progress to centrefire when allowed.

Stalking directory in the last place on the planet I`d go for reloading data ....come to think of it for anything else related to shooting.

Never tried one but the description does make them sound like snake oil vendors .

Mmm , I guess you`ll have to talk to SGC , they may well know its age etc from the serial number , what warranty do NF have ?

Best to check with your FEO as you are only cleared to shoot in your garden .

300NM is not a Wildcat or an unknown quantity , its been CIP listed since 2012 and has been taken on by the US Military , brass is freely available so I dont see any issues...other than the expense of buying and feeding one.
Vihtavuori even have load data

If prizes bring in the not so serious then their entry fee`s will part subsidise the more serious shooters , nowt wrong with that , the more cash in the club coffers the better.

Probably one is FFP and the other is SFP.

I can only guess that if they are not taking your money it will be because they are unsure of delivery times , be thankful they are being honest .

Yes I understand that in the larger view, but are they going to want individual specific cases. So case by case Assesment
i did see this posted yesterday. How correct it is I don’t know.
“Anyone who’s wondering about the General licenses, Just got off the phone from my mate who’s a main part of natural england licensing and adviser for them he comes shooting with me fairly regular,
it was basically a loophole Packham & Mark Aviary found and Natural England’s Law team just said there’s no point in fighting it as there’s nothing they can do to go against it as it’s a clear flaw in the license.
**Natural England did not want to have to revoke the 3 main licenses in any way what so ever. It was a Lawsuit from Packham & Aviary, if N.E had challenged against it there would have been zero chance of winning it**
So everyone filing complaints to Natural England your not helping in the slightest- they are on our side and are working flat out to bring out new licenses to get us all back up and running soon as possible! As much as this will piss off Packham & Aviary 😂
They’ve been in the process of sorting out a whole new number of general licenses for the last few weeks as they saw this coming and have scrapped about 5 previous draft ones where there’s flaws still.
Obviously Natural England don’t want 50,000 odd people each year wanting to apply for individual licenses to shoot or trap as it would be impossible to do all the paperwork.
Natural england in 2014 wanted to amend the general licenses to get rid of this loophole about having to prove you’ve tried all other non lethal options first and just to update them but nobody from our shooting organisations wanted to know about it or wanted any changes, so now these flaws in the licenses have been exposed and this has happened.
Within the next few weeks hopefully will be some updated licenses being released to replace the 3 revoked ones but there will be quite a few more different general licenses for the 16 members of birds so not just 3 main ones that cover everything. Soon as I hear anymore will let you know.”👍 I hope you are right , I`d like to see spackhams face if re written licenses are issued allowing everyone to carry on the same, time will tell.
Edit If NE knew about this a while back they should have informed the public as soon as they decided not to fight it .

Holiday in Finland.... any shooting?
in General Discussion
Posted
Cant advise on shooting there but have holidayed there , really nice country and people , flew in to Helsinki , hired a car and headed west onto the Finnish archipelago , would go again, expensive eating out in the evening , better deals at lunch time.
