My 3006 is very much my go to rifle, and has been for a few years now. The rifle, scope and mod set up work really well for me, so its not just the caliber in my case. I have the seam set up in 243, both shoot equally well and i dont find the 06 noticeably more kicky, but the 243 is used a...

I put a set on my argo years ago, that and a heated seat. My pals all mocked it till they tried it, and now, all like it. Fairly helps on a chill evening!

Folks, i dont recommend using Repel as a wash in solution. 2 reasons, firstly its very difficult to get all the detergent out of a washing machine, so though it really helps to be fully washed and dry before application, any detergent will work against any water repellent, so may kind of...

Having owned a dive company for a couple of decades and having a few scuba cylinders lying about i used them initially, then moved to a wee compressor. They are really sound units, just keep them cool, dont let them get too hot, that will kill them, they dont have a main bearing as such, so will...

I have a brace of S&L victories, 243 and 3006 and see no need to ever replace them. I have the mk1 synthetic stock, which moves from rifle to rifle depending on the season, 243 for roe and hinds, 3006 for stags. They wear their wood stock for nice days out though, which i enjoy as they are very...

I have a shot cam, and am really not a regular with the scatter gun. It does exactly as it says on the tin, its a superb bit of kit and a great training aid. I had a go with mine again in early winter and it really helps me "see" my lead. With clays it makes them reasonably easy when you have a...

I send a lot of packages out, and have used most carriers and couriers and am back to the RM. I occasionally have stuff delayed with them, but overall they get most packages to the right place at the right time. I had some delayed recently, but the snow and covid will have had an effect. What i...

One of the main worries i have is the post viral issues, I have fybromyalgia, and like all stalkers risk Lymes (though i have excellent repellents and have never had a tick attach). The symptoms are similar. It appears "long covid" has similar symptoms again. The thought of all 3, which is very...

I have one, but just contact Hilltrek, they really know their stuff and will be able to tell you for sure. I went to their old shop and tried mine on, and ended up going much bigger than i would have expected, but it was totally down to their guidance.

I think it will be fine, soak everything with diesel or wd 40, open any electical connectors and clean and dry, i would fill the engine with diesel, drain and then fill with cheap oil, turn over slowly with plug out to mix, and then drain and fill again. I would take the carb drain plug out and...

I have had this in both 243 and 3006. It happens when i am trying to be super accurate and have every measurement just bang on. I am finding its the case shoulder that is the issue, and even though every measurement is well within spec as for length and i have wondered if it was the angle that...

Really sad to hear this, Quads have a lot of accidents, i have one myself, a 450, and they are so capable, yet so dangerous. I used mine as a deer recovery machine, till it rolled on a very slight bank with a roe on it, it slowly tipped over and i basically stepped off. I hasten to add i am no...

A pal was speaking to one team today. He was told no variations, no new applications, as folks have said above. They are only doing renewals and, it seams a number of license revocations. They did not elaborate. I would think / worry that domestic violence and depression issues are perhaps...

The police will have known before arriving if the household had firearms registered to it. They will have known before they entered the property 100% if anyone there was a FAC/SGC owner registered to the property, it is flagged to the address if anyone there had an FAC. Had it been registered...

I forgot to add his website, may help both people looking for wildfoul shooting, and also a guide for what is bound to be a difficult year! http://www.montroseshootingbreaks.co.uk/
