Hello All, Looking for a hushpower shotgun ideally 20G or 12G to deal with pigeons, crows and rats coming out of a grain shed which is nearish housing. Saw a very nice one Benelli M2 Moderated 12G and thought that would be ideal. so if anyone has anything similar that they would be willing to...

that's great news for a Friday! If you get the permission you deserve a beer unless you're out shooting on the new ground tonight

Drove up to the farm (20:20) didn’t even make it up the track, left window down spotted fox rummaging around about 140m away. panic stations. Rifle out as quietly and quickly as possible. Fox oblivious to it all, came in another 10m or so. 75gn of .243 to the boiler room (20:30) in bed by 22:00...

now dont be giving them ideas...

unfortunately I think it would fall into the latter category as it is a Nightforce nx8 2.5-20 so may be a checked bag deal. but wonder if its not in the original box you could justify it easier such as like @Grannysmith. could also go down the effort to wrap it or ultimately just speak with the...

Very conveniently, it would be my birthday (but who’s to tell the airport staff) fairly soon after the trip might have to wrap it up as my own gift ;)

preferably with the heated seats on 😅

Thanks for the offer, I might have to take you up on that offer

Thanks for the clarification on the amount of rounds, I did think it would be fine but rather double check. might have to rework my maths but my rough calculations were coming in at per shot: primer - £0.18 Powder - £0.26 Bullet head - £0.80 totaling £1.24 and current Hornady v-max is around...

Hello all, I had a free hour or so at work and started doing some “fag-packet maths” around reloading my .243. I’ve worked the cost per reload out at approximately £1.30 per round (excluding the cost of tooling and my time), which is just under half of what I currently pay per shot when buying...

I use an Infriray Mate MAH50 with one of these adapters on each of my rifles and it stays on the scope permanently so when I clip on to the scope it is always in the exact same spot relative to the scope and holds zero without any issues .Add on itself was a bit of a pig to get zeroed but once...
