I have a 3 year old, farmed Red Stag who will be shot this Thursday (15th September) and sent on to the butcher. If anyone is in the area of Shaftesbury, North Dorset on Thursday morning and is interested in either watching a gralloch or getting some hands on experience then please pm me. I will...

Ahh, cheers Bob, will do. Thanks Paul

Hi, I have a Sako 85 Hunter in .30-06. It is grey laminate with stainless. It is about 2 years old and has only had one box of ammo put through it. When I purchased it, I had convinced myself that I needed a .30-06. I don't. I do however, use my .243 all the time and I would like a new .243 in...

I said "it can take as long as it takes" NOT "as long as you like" I (like you) also have kids, dogs, a wife who works full time (so I have school runs blah, blah, blah) and I'm trying to run a business. Seems you may have missed my point completely??? As long as the job is done properly, who...
