  1. Oooh wait, I know this one. 1..........3........divide by.........carry the 4...........9 remaining...........borrow a 1.............. Is it 2? 😉
  2. They're great for rats. Someone I know who looks a lot like me and wears my clothes once shot a 'small rat' in a barn using IR. Although it was 'only' a 30ft/lb air rifle it cut the poor thing in half. Turned out to be a mouse. 🙄
  3. Saddler, if you can get a thermal rifle scope for £1000 I'll have a dozen! Are you sure it wasn't IR?
  4. Made first use of my new Axiom LRF spotter this morning while trying to get in to position on a deer permission pre-dawn. How have I managed without thermal vision before now? Never mind just using it in the dark, I had it glued to my eye well after sun-up as it was revealing things that I would otherwise have not seen, even with binoculars. I cannot wait to get out and use it again on rabbits, foxes and again pre-dawn and early morning on the deer. Somehow those scopes that I always thought were well out of my budget are looking awfully tempting.
  5. You're going to have to narrow that down a bit more. 😉
  6. I bought a pair of Decibullz which are widely available. Most sellers quote long delivery times though, 2-3 weeks, which suggests none of them carry stock. They're only £25-30 a pair so I don't understand why not. The instructions said to 'boil water, put it in a mug, drop in an earplug, wait 5 minutes, remove, cool for a minute or two, insert into ear, wait five minutes then remove the earplug "which is now perfectly moulded to your ear shape". Repeat for other ear.' Mine didn't quite go like that........🙄 Boiled water, poured it into mug, dropped in ear plug, waited five minutes, spooned out a blob of molten silicone with the hard plastic bit in the middle, tried to push the flat, runny silicone into something approximating a ball to aid insertion, got close but with half the silicone stuck to the metal spoon (recommended in instructions to prevent sticking), some on my fingers, some still in the mug. Prodded and poked the now hardening silicone into my ear, realised it was not soft enough, dropped it back into the mug, took it back out, got more stuck to the spoon and my fingers, realised I was down to about 2/3 of the original silicone and that some had blocked the hard plastic canal that should be in the middle but was now offset in what looked like a piece of compressed candy floss. Tried with the second one, similar result. Took photos, sent to seller, got a refund. I'm still searching for something so am keen to see what other answers you get.
  7. Nice scope with good clarity, I just need to make room in the cupboard. Good condition with only two small marks (see photos) which the camera flash flare exaggerates, in use these are not noticable. Serial number confirmed by Leupold as genuine. £300 posted.
  8. The one I have is about the size of a 2lb bag of sugar, too small I think.
  9. Thanks. I should get around to advertising mine......
