Hi Matt a bit late but do you still have some 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady cases I would take 150

I have had the Solaris S.R.X. for just over a year and its been great but over the last few months when out in cold weather around zero the laser stops working, the switch light is still on but no beam, have swapped batteries but makes no differance, stick a heat pack round it and it works...

Thanks guys will be phoning Rainbow on Monday:-D

Looking for some advice on importing trophys from a plains game hunt last year. The export company have just emailed me to say they have the export documents sorted and did I have an agent in the UK to accept the shipment and clear customs Vat etc. On previous threads Martin Aries at Rainbow...

Thanks for your help, will be trying the N550 first it looks very promising. In theory it looks a lot better than I thought possible, seeing how the rifle reacts is next, not sure if the Mod will boost figures in anyway.:thumb:

Thanks Cooter. Hornady 2450 is the bullet I use with N160 but have H4895 on shelf. Reloader 17 looks close at near max load, nthor has kindly offered to run some alternative powders with N550 looking close. Getting powder at the moment is still a problem up here but once I do some trials a...

Hope someone with Quickload can help. I have just had my Mannlicher 0.243 threaded for an Atec Maxim sound moderator, originaly it had a 20" barrel but the gunsmith has shortened the barrel to 18" to miss the front sight retaining pins which was never mentioned at the time!! I occasionally use...

Hi Adam21 Just bought a Bavarian Mountain Hound from a local Gun Dealer up here in Aberdeenshire, his bitch had 8 pups, 7dogs and 1 bitch which I now own. Pups are well cared for and socialised, delighted with mine. Price is reasonable as well, I think 3 dogs are booked 4 to go. Picked mine up...

Felt sick just watching it, could not work like that no matter how much it pays.

Well done there's nothing like a first. Would'nt be too complacent about ticks though, a keeper up here died with lymes disease a couple of weeks ago. Taken a few ticks off myself over the years, now spray my clothing with Bug Proof Ultra and seems to work [contains Permethrin]

Arran is commercial woodland stalking, the deer dont need to leave the shelter of the trees, but you will always see plenty marks and wallows of where they have been. Getting on to a deer requires real persistance a fair bit of experiance and luck comes into it as well, there are no garantees...

Red deer on the open hill is my choice but also the most enjoyable.

The add for the 0.222 is from Steve Beaty at Ivythorn sporting where I bought my 0.243 mannlicher, he is very good to deal with and very helpfull in fact I bought a Howa from him as well and I live in Scotland.

I have 2 older style Mannlicher stutzen rifles in 0.243 and a 0.308 and love them, they are so well balanced and a dream to shoot. They are out of fashion at the moment and a lot of gun dealers struggle to sell them so bargains are there to be had. My 0.243 came up from Ivythorn Sporting in the...

Its all about personal circumstances, where you shoot and what you shoot most of. The 0.243 is great for roe and fox and will take red as well but if you are going to shoot a lot of red and the ranges are longer then I would use the 6.5 or 0.308 giving a bit more power to ensure a clean kill.
