  1. Introduction suffolk

    Hi SuffolkH, Welcome, I also have many permissions scattered around Suffolk and I shoot game and deer around Stowmarket area (and have done for the past 30years+ so might be that we know each other or our paths may have crossed. Anyway, welcome to the forum and I hope you find it informative...
  2. .30 cal high speed short barrel

    You can get close to that with a .308 from a 1/10 twist to get it spinning. Some of these modern powders are very good. But if you want to really get a shift on then do a 300WM.
  3. C50 vs Wraith ultra

    I have a wraith 4K and a C50. There really isn't much between them and if you are shooting Fox at night at 150m or less then both are more than capable of doing the job. I cant say anything about the Wraith ultra other than it looks like they had a load of the old wraith cases and to use them...
  4. Rebarrel .243

  6. Question re getting a carcass into a Navara!

  7. Question re getting a carcass into a Navara!

    Here you go. I have managed to winch 4 large reds into the back of mine at a time. 50mm steel box section, bolted at 4 places onto the cargo ties. It is very solid and I even managed to winched the truck out a ditch on it when I lost it on a snowy morning. Best thing is that it makes very...
  8. Doctor wants me to attend a 'medical appointment' before completing police report form for renewal

    You think that's bad, I got my medical report back and there is a note to say that I was treated for workplace stress/anxiety in 2009, 2010 and 2013...I wasn't and in fact I wasn't even in the country for 2 of the dates, but the GP is sticking his heels in stating that its on my records so he...

    Just had an email to confirm that I am on week 5 (17th -20th October) so hopefully smack on for the rut……I am absolutely delighted and can’t wait to get over there.
  11. .243 calibre for fox control

    I use a 243 with 75gr VMax Norma Factory ammo......Its good out to 300m which is plenty for my night shooting.

    The Hinds entry normally opens 1-2 weeks after the Stags entry closes.
