Good Evening Everyone, This is a little update post for those of you that have interacted with my Grandad, John (Deerwarden). My name is Billy, this account (Deerwarden) is my Grandads, John. Unfortunately since June of this year, my grandad has been unwell and been in care/hospital due to a...

I received my renewal pack a few weeks ago from Norfolk firearms, for the new FAC & shotgun licence renewal, you have wade through far more forms to fill in, give details of where the firearms will be used as before, names of land owner etc, reason needed to own firearms or shotguns. The paper...

As an apprentice within a large Swedish company called Asea, based in Walthamstow, we had 5 trips a year to large engineering company's. One was a trip to the Brooklands racing track, there was a large old corrugated unit by the highest part of the old Brooklands, this was where Barnes Wallis...

I have both, FAC 22 air rifle running at present at 28 ft ideal for rabbits etc in areas where my 17HMR would be too much gun, and too noisy. I have a use for them both in different situations, wouldn't want to not have either. deerwarden .

Have a Solaris srx on mine as well, well worth the money, a really smooth change from spot to full beam, great piece of kit, all my homemade efforts have been binned now deerwarden

beautiful looking rifles, very compact for hill stalking ect, I've always wanted one since I saw one up in a local gunsmiths many years ago. I have six different rifles so everything is covered from rabbits to plains game. didn't Bell use a smallish full stocked light calibre for hunting...

Hubert was a friend of mine and I always made sure we both had the same weekends at the St Hubert club. He always outshot everyone on the range when we checked our rifle's were sighted in O.K. And he held court whenever he was there in the evenings. He knew more about deer management than any...

270 for me deerwarden

you sound somewhat like me, I have several full bore firearms, plus an AA 510 22 fac for rabbits, had a .22lr but the sound of ricochets at times was daunting. The 510 is running at 28 ftps, works well on rabbits at reasonable range if I do my bit. I've never been to the Check republic, but...

It appears some surgery's are charging far too much at times, some merely a token amount.There should be a fixed reasonable amount that surgeries can charge to confirm they have no issues with their patients ability to own/use firearms. I suppose BASC members already have this to hand, as BASC...

Gone through 3 antennas with mine, don't replace them just tape them up, as above distressed rat and bonking vixens will make them check whats up, but I get just as many coming into baited dog biscuits scattered around, my permissions border a SSSI area that's full of foxes, kill one two come to...

I have a Pard 007 on my 17HMR, after some issues when first bought it, I found you need a good IR lamp, they don,t like high end scopes, so I use a Hawke on mine with no issues at all. The on board I.R. is o.k. but an IR add-on lamp from Clive Ward is far better. One problem I have is my...

I bought a thermal add-on from them whilst stalking in Scotland, it was cheaper than any other suppler at the time, and I was treated as a valued customer even though it was my first purchase from them. I now buy on-line from them and have never had an issue at all, they e-mail/telephone to say...

Thanks Southern, I'll give that load a try as I have 2 tubs of H4198 in my powder store. deerwarden
