Thanks to everyone who replied on here and by private message. All sorted now, with a Tikka T3 Lite stainless in a GRS laminated stock, Evolve moderator and Steiner Ranger 4-16x56 scope 😎😊 Everyone at Northallerton shooting supplies was brilliant, super helpful, and very patient. My daughter...

Variation came through, so I am looking for a standard RH 6.5x55 Prefer something a little lighter, so that my daughter can use it. Gun only, or gun and mod, or complete outfit considered. Thanks for looking, and Merry Christmas 🎅

Welcome on board :)

I used .30-06 for many years in Canada and North America with my late uncle. Here in Blighty I've a .270 and I love it dearly, but if I ever change it for any reason it will only be for a .30-06

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to offer input, and especially to those who very kindly contacted me by private message with advice and support. I talked to Northumbria FA this afternoon, who suggested various methods of achieving the outcome of a .243 for my daughter's stalking, either...

So, my now 18 year old daughter is beginning to show interest in deer stalking. She has accompanied me on vermin shoots since she could walk, so she has a grasp of firearms safety, and she is a pretty decent shot with an air rifle, FAC air and .22lr She has just started a degree in wildlife...

I am in the process of buying a place in Northern Sweden so it may end up over there. Harder to get parts for it there compared to Volvo and Toyota, but I already have it, so...

So, I bought this in June 2023. My 83 year old mother could no longer get in and out of my Volvo V70 but she could manage this due to a combination of seat height and leather. Since then she has had a minor stroke and a couple of falls so I have had to buy something else. I expect to have to...

I absolutely love this car, so I won't be sorry if it doesn't sell. I bought it in September 2021 and I am the second owner. Full service history, mostly main dealer, and then a local garage who I trust implicitly and who I have used for years. The cam belt and water pump were done when I...

I keep coming back to look at this thread. Beautiful pups and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very tempted.

Looking for a black lab bitch pup. Very experienced home. I shoot for the National Trust, and some privately owned estates; mainly rifles on vermin and deer, some shotgunning. My daughter (16) and I are down to one small Jack Russell and it has taken some time after the loss of our last lab...

Thanks for the replies - Hilltrek looks very interesting. I would rather stay with ventile or wax cotton for this particular use. The go-faster breathable stuff doesn't last two minutes in thick cover in darkest Northumbria... My last two Barbour jackets were ade to measure about 30 years ago...

So, I am 6' 4" with a 47 inch chest, 36 inch waist, and any clothes long enough in the body are usually several inches too short in the sleeve. Arguably worse than that is the couple of feet of extra fabric around the body. Most larger sizes tend to be wider rather than longer. I like wax...

Thanks again for the collective input everyone :) To be clear, there are no medical reasons and no legal reasons underlying this. My friend has written several emails back and forth including permission documents from two large farms close to his home (one of which was cited when he first...

Thanks for all the considered and constructive replies (and the amusing ones ;)) I am meeting with my friend tomorrow afternoon so I will go over things with him and help him to formulate a (hopefully) appropriate reply. To be continued...
