I sent mine to Kahles via Swarovski last year for a repair on the LRF and was also charged £385 for getting a refurbished pair, I agree with Franks thoughts that the ones I sent, that were apparently BER, will probably end up being sent to someone else as a refurbished pair. They were back in a...

Decided to see if either of my kids (6 and about to turn 9 in a couple of weeks) were ready to join me on a stalk anytime soon. Rather than take them out on a proper stalk we headed out this afternoon, for a look around my permission, to see if we could get a good picture of some roe deer...

Done, takes seconds. 👍

I didn’t notice anything on the mesenterics when I checked them. So not sure where the lump you have spotted is attached.

Thanks Buchan, rest of the carcass looked normal.

I shot this buck last night and its spleen looked more shrivelled and lumpy than normal, however all lymph nodes looked fine and was acting normally before the shot. AI says its common and nothing to worry about, but thought I would check here just to be safe. Thanks Dave

Has anyone on here had any success using a Napier GA connector? I got one the other day and followed the instructions that came with it, but it just sprays out the side of the connector. Both cans are marked as being for use with the GA connector, so not sure why its not working.

Some brilliant updates there. Really impressed at how quickly you managed to incorporate the ideas and feedback from the users. The app was already great, now its even better.

I’m with BDS now. They have a fair few range days planned for Cawdor this year, as well as other visits and training they put on. They have a day up in Forres in a couple of weeks for 1/2 day shot sight analysis with UKDTR and 1/2 day on carcass preparation best practice and habitat impact...

Great opportunity thanks for sharing Malc! I have just sent them an email.

Jimmy, They are on the Derraco website, the link is at the bottom of Martin’s post.

I was there for work a couple of months ago. Flew in to Walvis Bay and had a hard time getting past passport control, as had been told I could get a visa on arrival without issue, but was not as easy as had been told by colleagues. When I got there they wanted to know why I hadn’t got a visa...

Welcome from Ellon. Dave

Should have said in my previous post, that I have only used them for targets. I haven’t used for deer as I have another rifle I use for stalking in the mighty 6.5CM 🤣. Other forums are saying some folk have used the 175gn HPBT for live quarry, though Sierra don’t recommend them for hunting. If...

I’m using 175gn Sierra HPBT in my Tikka Ace Target which is 24” barrel and 1 in 10 twist as-well and they are preforming pretty well. Was shooting out to 1000 yards with them and spot on for elevation, though admittedly I was struggling with windage on that day, but it was pretty heavy winds.
