Hi all, I'm an experienced stalker with DSC1, ADM and I'm set to complete my DSC2 this summer (would consider alternative AW if ties in). I have insurance and an Open ticket. I've stalked unaccompanied many times but I'm seeking new opportunities, either closer to home or just more...

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST - I have finally managed to contact them and have been promised delivery tomorrow. Hi, I've been trying to contact Greenacre Supplies (Green Acre Supplies - Supplying Stalking Supplies for over 10 years!) for over a week now about an outstanding order but they aren't...

Still cheaper than 3 rounds of factory .308, a glass of wine, or a fat marker pen - 'value' is subjective I suppose. It's beautifully rendered though ;)

Take a look chaps... Deer Data for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store :thumb:

Cheers Prometheus, November will soon be here. I see you're not a million miles away - where do you stalk if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking for opportunities closer to home. JB

Yep, I'm not holding my breath! About as much chance of getting a Bucks buffalo hunt! Ha ha! Cheers for the reality check :rofl: ATB

Just seen my first CWD! No more than 1.5 miles from my house in Buckinghamshire! 5.45 yesterday, spotted a fine buck with impressive tusks, out as bold as brass in field on high ground. No marsh habitat for miles. He hopped off when he winded me. Amazing :D Just need to find a friendly...

Nice to see there are still some gentlemen out there. Nice offer :)

Brithunter - Interesting stuff, thanks! Good post :-D It seems they are trading on glories past :suss: I won't go into detail about my dealings with the importers as it wouldn't be proper given the circumstances. Let's just say I was less than impressed when it was suggested I was being 'harsh'...

Absolutely mate! They seem to be happy with a certain percentage of failure. See the response I got from Remington themselves earlier in the thread effectively saying 'this doesn't happen very often so we don't care'.

Cheers all for the input. It seems the Remi 700 will always polarize views. The yanks are masters of branding over substance after all. I'm going to talk to Trading Standards later this morning. If I accept a repair I'm going to feel like I've just helped the problem 'go away' and this won't...

Yeah, sorry mate, understood. I'm just not happy that while it may be 'worth' £150 retail, in reality they are only forking a derisory amount out as a 'sorry'. I shouldn't expect any more I guess!

Additionally, my missus is a London Goldsmith's Company metal worker. She's examined the failed joint and says it's 'dry', i.e, poorly fluxed or not fabricated at the right temp.

Trust me; the handle fizzed past my head. The bolt was properly closed but the recoil fro a factory .308 was enough to detach it. The rifle has been treated with the utmost care since new.

That really won't cover my costs - now I'm really fooked off!!
