Do you use the cream or the spray... I'm guessing spray as it would be easier to work with out in the field 🤔

Had the same excellent service back in January for a 22lr. Variation was in the post day after my cert was received by them. Can't fault the service they have given.

I've ordered a 20moa rail, I'll probably set the scope up on 0moa rail at some point to see if there is a huge difference.

Unfortunately I don't have a bore sight so looks like I'll be doing it the old fashioned way.. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Does anyone have any experience with using the DNT zulus V2 on their Z22LR or 17hmr with either of these rails. The scope comes with a 20moa mount but I've swapped this out for the QDS150 which is 0moa. The LRF box has not moved and duplicates the position of the 20moa mount, it is on screen...

Another vote for both the alpex 4k and the zulus v2. I have both, if weight saving is important to you then I'd suggest the zulus v2 LRF night vision all in one compact unit and costs less that the alpex 4k. Once mounted to the rifle you'll have a kit that's ready to go day or night without the...

I loved my solway zipper back in the day. Used it for wildfowling, rough shooting and even in the winter months coupled with the liner it served me as a motorcycle jacket. I haven't looked at barbour for a few years now but found they didn't have a great choice of jackets with a belt. I did...

I went for the 5x20 but had a method in my madness, have the HIKMICRO alpex A50EL 4K on the 17hmr and thinking to swap these over. I'm going to set them both up on each rifle. Most of my daytime shooting will probably be done with the 22lr and the 17hmr will be used more at night so thinking the...

I agree, I was sharing how it was years ago and how the approach has changed over the years.

Maybe showing my age but I can remember the day when a 22lr was the largest calibre granted for fox in some regions. How everything has changed and taken in the ability to produce a humane kill.

Welcome to the forum Buck.

I wouldn't dismiss anything that livestock would hear or respond to, so many hear frequencies that we humans can not. Even if we move our position just slightly around buildings or hedges the report of a rifle can sound much different to them. As a shooter, need it be stalking, vermin control or...

Ah okay, I misunderstood and this is your personal experience. Yes, horses can become used to the shots around them if it's a common happening as with most livestock. It doesn't really reflect on their trainers how they react as they need to be subjected to the experience to allow them to...

As "livestock" takes in a wide range of animals farmed or kept. I understand and know the thud of the bullet cannot be silenced. I know as a horse owner they will spook with a click of the fingers, sheep can also be spooked around the thud of the bullet. Though I have yet to find any evidence to...

There are those that will argue against carrying the weight of the heavy barrel. When comparing the 16" barrel to the standard 16" barrel the additional weight is 0.66lbs (.3kg) the equivalent to a tin of baked beans.
