  1. Stalking Show - Head Shooting discussion

    Head shooting is like any shot, it can go wrong. With any shot we need to be realistic about our position, the distance, the animals behaviour etc etc. There is always a million factors involved. What is critical is we take sensible shots, whatever the placement and are prepared to accept...
  2. Any love for 300 winmag?

    Not quite the same, but similar performance downrange, I have used my .300WSM for longer distance large deer for a number of years across a couple of barrels. I really like the capability it provides, with excellent terminal performance even where ranges are 'extended'. They are a definite...
  3. For Sale: Schmidt Bender Klassik and PMII

    Price reduced on 3-12X50, now £600 Posted
  4. Steel Action

    I handled them at the stalking show, and was mighty impressed. I would have liked to get hands on with the FBT stocked option as that looks to me the nicest overall workhorse package out of the lot they offer. The only thing I think Steel Action need to do to really make the product the best...
  5. ‘Middle Ground’ Culling Calibre

    It currently sits at 27.2" which spits 148 Grn Yew Tree TLRs out at 3430FPS. It's an awesome open ground rifle, and really smacks the big reds to the ground, but can be hard on smaller deer at close range. The 20" .308 I have as a close range rifle is perfect for it's application, but I find...
  6. Thick Recticle Scope

    I have this 3-12X50 S+B Klassik for sale which would fit the bill: https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/threads/schmidt-bender-klassik-and-pmii.316539/#post-3411314 It’s a great scope, I’m only moving it on to try an Alpex, or I’ll be going to something with a dial-able turret.
  7. Variation Refusal Appeal - Ripe Shooting Insurance

    More that I know the police force in question monitor this site and have threatened other members over what they’ve posted on certain topics. I am covering my own back, while trying to gain as much knowledge as possible off deliberately vague questions, so they cannot throw certain things back...
  8. Variation Refusal Appeal - Ripe Shooting Insurance

    Hard to give them any evidence to look at with this daft online portal. Put a comment they should contact me to get the supporting documentation, but they’ve just ruled without it. Knew it was coming because they don’t like these ‘entities’, but I at least thought they’d go through due...
  9. Variation Refusal Appeal - Ripe Shooting Insurance

    I won’t elaborate too much, but yes I foresaw this being an issue and took appropriate insurance to protect myself. It’s a necessary entity which has animal welfare reasons for me to possess it. The police have not engaged with me at all, and have failed to investigate or ask about my good...
  10. Variation Refusal Appeal - Ripe Shooting Insurance

    Hi All, I will keep the details sparse to avoid any conflict of interest or issue with appealing, but I have recently had a variation refused by my firearms licencing department. I am looking to appeal this using the Ripe Shooting Insurance Policy which I took out last year for just this...
  11. Lead ban date announced

    I wouldn't get too hung up on it. Copper has been used by many deer managers for many years, it's well proven and isn't difficult to find a well grouping load with (just like lead some rifles like some rounds and some like others - find what your rifle likes). Like lead you can choose both...
  12. Hik Alpex Pro

    Apologies if I have missed it, but where is the detail on the promised upgrades to the ballistics system?
  13. Hik Alpex Pro

    Any initial thoughts vs the NocPix D70R Nite?
