  1. Carrying rifles on public footpaths

    Also bear in mind that the footpath/bridleway actually belongs to the landowner and the public only have the right of passage on said path (and only on the path) to get from one end to the other.
  2. Aolq

    Not surprising. I've always seen N. Yorks to be pragmatic where licensing is concerned. Where we in West Yorks had to jump through ridiculous hoops, over the border they always seemed to put responsibility on the shooter and give them the ability to exercise it. To the extent that a friend of...
  3. Hospital Car Parks .. Robbin B******S

    That's PFI for you. Balfour Beatty built it and now control the facilities management (or did last time I looked. I did hear a rumour that someone else has the FM contract now but not verified). It's the FM company that levy the charge I believe and it's them that collect it. I'm not sure...
  4. Section 21 Amendments

    Clear as mud then. Or am I just not reading it right?:doh:
  5. 243 fazination???

    I'll get my petticoat on then:-P
  6. help loading 308

    Crimping helps to maintain consistency of pressure which can help with accuracy and grouping but does it really matter to the shooting of live quarry at the short to medium distances generally shot in the UK? Again, we don't need same hole groups. It's also used in some hunting rounds to...
  7. help loading 308

    Very remiss of me. I forgot that I crimp my sphincter as well.:doh:
  8. help loading 308

    At last. Someone with a pragmatic approach. Perfection just doesn't exist and life's too short to go chasing it. I seat my bullets so they look about right in the case. Always have and it's worked well so far. Maybe target shooters aspire to hole on hole but I'm sure that live quarry couldn't...
  9. .22 hornet mag length

    Dunno about other rifles mags but my CZ mag needed the plastic insert at the rear filing down and the follower drilling for a grub screw. The grub screw sits against the filed insert, lengthening the reach of the mag. You just need to ensure the filing and grub screw adjustment allow for the...
  10. Is this possible???

    YUP!:doh:
  11. Not Stalking related

    As above. I'd also get him to check whether or not the cameras are operated by staff or contracted security. If the latter is the case report it to the SIA as they would be breaching the conditions of their license.
  12. long range scope choice

    What's so special about deer that sets them above affording the same respect for ANY quarry?
  13. long range scope choice

    Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear.:scared:
  14. What to do with wet rifle?

    Instead of all the do this ... do that... why no just go out a bit earlier and come home a bit earlier in time to give it a dry and clean? You did know you had to go out again after all. Bad planning.
