Just taken my Alpex 4k off my Sako quad and put it on my .25-06 where it’ll stay. It was the bullocks on the .17hmr though. I replaced it with a pulsar c50 which is grand but way heavy and confusing to use jumping between the two. When I can afford it, I’ll put a non lrf alpex lite on it. Then...

Don’t listen to Chris. Easily £60-70. I’d be happy to take it.

Quite a few years ago, I walked the full length of all the A roads in east anglia to survey trees. I carried a knife with me and killed dozens of muntjac hit on the roads in the three or so months it took. Saw hundreds of already dead ones. Huge problem for the woodlands down there.

Three shot group from my Sako quad the other day at 50yards. Taken just after zeroing:

My first GWP, if tied up outside a shop would chomp through her lead in one bite and just sit there waiting for me. Never moved, just objected to being tied up like a horse. I also had a Labrador once, that absolutely hated border terriers. Never had a bad experience with them and got along...

I love killing stuff. Pigeons, crows, foxes, rabbits, rats. Whatever. There has to be a reason to kill them but once I have a reason, the more dead the better. Once there’s enough of them dead and the reason isn’t there, I stop killing them. I’m generally pretty good at it.

Trouble is, it doesn’t have to be a good deal, it just has to be a better deal than no deal.

Most of the time, I carry a benchmade griptilian but that’s a locking knife. If I have to go anywhere civilised, I have a Qsp mini penguin. Made in China but absolutely excellent quality and it’s so stiff, it’ll never close up on you. Doesn’t need to lock...

I have a spare one here if you want it for machining? I’m pretty sure it was replaced by a T3 one which worked fine. It was 15-20 years ago though.

If I’m actually honest, it was measured in glugs rather than millimetres! I never paid for it mind. I might be sitting on a goldmine at the back of the garage. Lots of kerb and round up. Probably a few bottles of paraquat back there too. That **** used to burn your throat. I’m surprised I’m...

I was recently talking to someone about a deer management group area. He was telling me that the deer density averaged around 15 deer per square kilometre which is higher than required for browsing pressure to be low enough to allow natural regeneration of trees but isn’t actually that bad when...

In the real world you’ll put 200ml of glyphosate in per 5l and fill up again when you run out. Interesting course though, I did it 30 years ago and still remember quite a bit of it. BASIS registered dealers and that, is that still a thing?

That crap strap looks kinda useful. My knees are properly shot nowadays.

Probably not worth paying for a ferry to be honest. For the record, I was in no way, shape or form suggesting that I’d go to their house and fight them. I’d go and ask for it back and if they didn’t give it to me, I’d call the police. These people do these scams because they’re anonymous. If...

Ask them for my scope back maybe?
