I know people have their own way of doing things, but I’ve just bought this item from an SD member (LATERAL) who makes these and other bits. After trying it inside the door I’ve gone for underneath the ammo section. It’s tidied up my safe storage and made things just a little easier.

I must be honest and say I wasn’t thinking of that as a priority, but you’re absolutely correct. That was a discussion had on another trip where someone misplaced a wallet of 5 x .375 rounds. They were again found in a truck under the seat. Thankfully.

The price of a magazine to replace a lost one is not cheap. But it could be the whole day or trip ruined. I like what others have done too - just shows we’re all aware that it COULD happen. I’m sure we all have our little routines to ensure we don’t leave stuff on the hill, I know I have...

All the above are relevant points - there’s a lock button on the MO3 too, but as I pointed out I managed to misplace one in the back of a truck in the dark. These things can and do happen.

Last year a mate of mine was in Scotland stalking on the hill when he managed to lose his Blaser mag and trigger unit in the heather. Of course, it wasn’t noticed until they were crawling in on some reds - opportunity lost. Fortunately a full search the next day found the missing part, but he’d...

The first thing I want to say to that is - what? This is exactly what people have said about digital v glass - me included as I have both. Personally I couldn’t put up with that level of unreliability. 1/2” at 25 yards is a hell of a long way at 100

Digital has its place in our stalking toolbox. It’s down to you to work out where that is within your stalking. I’ve used digital for the last two seasons. I’ve had a few more muntjac at last light, and I’ve had a couple of unexplained (to me) misses. At the end of the season I must have...

Keep us all updated please.

Agree totally ! Hence my post (which I didn’t notice was that old tbh)

You’ve been quiet for a while …..

An audiophile with class ! I congratulate you on buying well a long time ago. I’d love to buy this but I’m afraid it would lead to divorce. Good luck with the sale.

Your vehicle falls into the definition of a property under PACE 1984 I believe for the purposes of a Section 18/32 (search after arrest) so it’s not quite a public place. If the firearm is out of view - no issue. For example it’s in the boot or under a blanket. However, I do not disagree with...

Securely covered only applies in areas where the public have access. They don’t have access to your car (or the land your shooting on) therefore in my humble opinion, you’re safe to use it to transport rifle to and from home and shooting ground.

I use Fox 150 grain with N140 and get a really accurate load - not as fast as some but it works

I take your point. If I think I need more reach for a specific piece of ground I put 6.5x55 barrel on - if I’m going hill stalking in Scotland I put .300WM barrel on. I’m new to .308 and it’s okay, but to be quite honest I’ll be using the 6.5x55 barrel on for next season knowing I can deal...
