Hi Guys,
Just joined the forum. Based in Yate near Bristol. Have Browning O/U 12g, Sako .17 HMR, Tikka .223, Marlin .44 underlever and about to buy .308(probably another Tikka or Sako).
Any advice on stalking would be appreciated. Any offers of "showing me how it is done" within a 60 radius of Yate would also be appreciated. Doing my first stalk on sunday with BASC instructor which should be great.
Also advice on a 4 x 4 for dual use i.e some stalking work but also used as second car.
Several people locally use Jimny's although they seem to be better off road than on road. Ideal vehicle to suit my circumstances would be Freelander TD4 circa 2005 but quality worries me.
 
Hi BB,I would say one of the pick ups like the Mitsi/Hilux they are very carlike to drive I have had both and happy with both.Welcome to the site by the way.

Welcome to SD Bee Bee,how did the stalk go???......buy a japanese 4x4,i wouldnt have a Freelander,you could buy a new Sako each year for the service/repairs costs saved!!!!

hi BB

there are a few guys i know that would take you out for taster sessions etc but i dont expect they would do it free of charge and without meeting you first

if you call in to the shop (braces shooting on the wells road) and have a chat with me ill give you a couple of numbers to call

Hi Martin,
Went out last sunday but didn't see anything. Going again sunday week.
Everyone has now told me don't get a freelander and some have suggested a Vitara or Jimny. Both seem a good idea.
Now have new Sako 85 laminated stainless in .308 on order arriving ina about a week.
thanks for advice.
