TV sucks arse, think of all the time you'd have free without it. The books you could read, the nookie you could have with the wife....

I'll be doing it again next year if I don't get hit by a bus in the interim. 👍

These are pretty much as new, I bought them on a whim but I really don't need 4 sets of carbon fibre shooting sticks. Also includes a new Spartan "Gunsmith Adapter" and a 19mm forstner type bit to install it. RRP £360 plus about £15 for the forstner bit. £290 delivered via APC or £280 collected...

Mine has arrived. So has the rain, so it won't get zero'd today. It looks and feels like an improvement over the 4k.

Yes, I went in on Clements Mill Road, it was a Sunday to be fair, but OMG there were a lot of hunters around. I'm sure that if I'd pushed further south I could have found quieter ground, but that was my first experience of public land hunting and I was mildly horrified and just wanted to get away. 🤣

I got this trip past the wife by pointing out that I will be 50 next year and it might be now or never. That said, I'd like to think that I will still be fit enough in 20 years time.

I'm just back from an awesome trip to NZ. I do plenty of stalking here, but I wanted to go somewhere where I wouldn't be hemmed in by boundaries and fences. A friend persuaded me that I ought to make a video, so I did. The audio isn't always very good because I was just using my phone, but if...

I went with VP90 patches and Boresnake in my pack and the army surplus rod in the car in case of blockages. The rod wasn't required thankfully but I was glad of the other bits, the longest I was away from the car on foot was 7 days. The going in NZ was tough at times, ranging from humid...

Any idea where you got it from?

That would be in a hard case, in a car, possibly several days walk away.

Good thinking, but I anticipate long periods with my pack on my back and my rifle in my hands.

Perfect, I've ordered a pack thanks.

I'll be away in warm and wet conditions for a couple of weeks and I have no space for a cleaning rod or aerosols in my pack. My rifle barrel is not stainless and I want to try and look after it as best as possible. I can't think of anything better than packing a Boresnake or similar, and maybe...

Before I splash out on a new set, does anyone have any that they'd part with?

No, I didn't see any action. Reds are a rarity on this ground, this was only the second or third I've seen there.
