That looks a bloody great setup. Have you modified it much?

Have had a landig LU9000 for around four/five years now. I've had no issue with cleaning and sanitising in or around the fridge. It has drain bungs and is raised off the ground to clean underneath. I'm not a commercial shooter but would take ~50-60 deer a year off the farm. I staggered the...

There are similarities for sure. I also use plenty of other knives. Day to day as a farmer I have a buck 110 on me constantly. This has dresses many a deer. I also have some sort of budget knife in each vehicle for if the occasion arose. Anything will work if you know what you're doing

Got a Paddy Smyth field skinning hybrid stalking knife as a gift and it is a lovely knife to use.

Thanks for this update, I think without the parallax adjustment it wouldn't suit what I'm looking to do. If this doesn't sell let me know and I may have something to put it on for longer range shooting. Best of luck with sale👍🏼

Any update on this?

Thanks for this. Do you have a photo of the parallax dial or do you know what the minimum distance it adjusts down too? Is it illuminated? Does it still hold zero and track ok? I am potentially interested if you are open to posting/courier to Ireland. Happy to talk in private message if you...

Does this scope have parallax adjustment?

I wanted something handy and "cheap to run" for vermin around the farm. Went up to my local firearm dealer and he took out all the .22lr rifles he had in stock, both new and second hand. Handled them all and bought an old CZ 452 off him, it just felt better in the hands than any of the others. I...

Sako gamehead in 100gr as mentioned above has been fantastic for me. Shooting a Sako A7s in .243 out of what I am 99% is a 22" barrel. I have well over 300 deer taken with that rifle and ammo combination. I had some fantastic luck with cheap PPU ammo for years before switching to Sako gamehead...

I can second the decathlon recommendation. I believe Solognac is the brand they were, I got five years out of my first pair using as a full time farmer also. I bought a second pair about two years ago when they were in stock as they sell out in common sizes quite quickly after a restock. I think...

Unfortunate. Could be worth a call to them to see if they'd match the discount on the producers website as they're the only distributor in the U.K.?

I presume you guys are getting hit with some extra VAT or duties being in the U.K.? I just had a look at their website and the W300 is €595 which is ~£520. The W100 is €395 or ~£345. They have a 15% off sale on their "meat grinders" at the moment.

Can recommend Landig also, I have been using the W300 for a few years now and it has been faultless with bags of power. As fast as you can throw the meat into it, it will mince it.

Although I can't comment on specific items for sale here. I often see second hand items with higher asking prices than brand new units on offer in certain retailers. I have often offered a lower price for an item but I backed it up with evidence of new prices not being anywhere near where they...
