  1. Scam Sales Alert

    Ps I really should have known better. But my golden rule on face to face and no payment until seen rang true. It doesn’t matter (because you won’t use the site right?) but asking for a photo of the muzzle and inside chamber almost always kills off comms, that or you get an image unrelated...
  2. Scam Sales Alert

    Regrettably, GUNGLE, appears to be a phishing website. After a few enquiries about lever action guns I was rained upon by phishing emails/spam. The amount of “Dr’s” selling rifles was astounding. One seller, whose address was just 15 miles away said he would only ship as the last time he had a...
  3. For Sale: New Winchester 32-40 brass

    Hi Keith - do you still have 32-40 brass? Cheers
  4. 'Appalling acts of cruelty' - police shock as deers targeted by poachers in Gloucestershire

    Being a Glos stalker near Cirencester I can say that the RCT have their work cut out. Myself and the farmer were out foxing late at night (10-ish) a year ago with thermal/NV and were lamped by a vehicle that opened the gates to private land and drove around it as if this was the norm. They...
  5. Sportsman Gun Centre

    No, not experienced this before. I have ordered brass and bullets in the past with no issue. The simplest thing to do would be to call them. I made an order with them last week and spoke to them, they picked up promptly, were helpful and seemed available.
  6. Arguments for Brexit - help needed

    Not to hijack the thread, but I wonder if I am alone in thinking we are being asked to vote on the wrong thing? Strikes me that this a decisive vote, whereas it has only come about because the PM failed to renegotiate anything - which kinda suggests he won't be able to renegotiate anything...
  7. swillingtons

    I have found SSS to be very helpful and accommodating and have bought a rifle from them with no fuss. They held on to it for me for over four months too whilst FET sorted out some truly superb admin errors! Always answered the phone and always phoned back or left a message to keep me posted on...
  8. BASC elections, Martyn Jones hunt ban advocate

    Having worked alongside government for over 17 years at senior levels and would agree that this is exactly how this reads and comes across. For me it feels a bit like, "no longer an MP, need some income". I don't know enough about Martyn, so will do myself an intellectual favour and try and...
  9. If you had to start again...

    Would have bought: - the Mauser 201 .22LR first (why? because this is a very accurate, lightweight and handsome rifle, it does everything a .22 should at the ranges .22 should) - then my superb Sauer 202 in 6.5x55 (why? the calibre is so very smooth to shoot, is versatile and has killed...
  10. roe hit by car

    There's no evidence someone didn't try and follow up. We have deer hit on the road by the house all the time, most of the time the driver stops with serious damage to their car and can't see a deer. The deer seem to be either 'dead' on site or they've 'run off' leaving no clue, possibly to die...
  11. Cuckoo

    Swallows here for two weeks. More interesting is that the Grass Snakes are mating, seen the largest female we have ever seen (an atypical 6ft and about an inch and half thick) and the brightest largest male we have ever seen (about 3ft); might explain the low amphibian numbers this year....
  12. Cuckoo

    Heard today in the Cotswolds. Been out in the garden every evening since Thursday and not heard until today, so just a arrived; it is the same (3rd) week of April as last year.
  13. Not stalking - but for the Spitfire buffs: just found a pilot in the family!

    You want to fly one really. :thumb: Amazing men, beautiful, deadly machines.
  14. In the US News - British Invasion

    Darn. Nonetheless, worth reminding ourselves just how brave American paratroopers have been - albeit a snapshot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_airborne_landings_in_Normandy#Mission_profile
  15. In the US News - British Invasion

    Thought that was obvious, but obviously wrong on that, now edited.
