I have one and love it. I bought it to replace an alpex for night licence stuff but in reality it has become my go to rifle for everything. I have shot alot of deer with it this season day and night, thermal amd digital. Think the longest shot was 280 yards. I never managed to work out the...

Interesting, the breakdown of the pistons seals over time or in heat is exactly what I was concerned about. As far as cost is concerned its no different to any mod, scope, accessory. You usually get what you pay for. You can kill deer with a cheap set up but if anyone wants something better...

The cleverest thing i saw at the stalking show were the new pivoting quad sticks made by Hills. I was very tempted but decided to hold fire until I had some real world reviews. They were beautifully smooth in action but i did wonder how long that would last after a bit of rain and mud had got...

Barely any around me in Sussex. I wouldn't shoot one know if I was asked to. If I see a pair on my place I immediately try and reduce predators in the local area to give them a chance. Doesn't seem to help much though. On the upside there are more hares around there have been in decades. Its...

I could possibly help you out, depending on the day. Drop me a PM

Sadly not, she was mine and has now passed on. She is deeply missed. Its lovely to know she is still remembered though

I do similar but mine are top opening. I found that birds were nesting in them at chest height but when I moved them down to knee height that put the birds off. Maize is the best bait by far I've found

I love trapping. Squirrels and rats are my targets. I wouldn't want to catch stoats or weasels although I have had the odd one as by catch

I have one, they are really handy

If i was scared of others I would hardly be disagreeing with you would I? You don't take it well at all. I am not opposed to closed season, the same as we have for deer. I also think that seasons should be brought for species which are currently protected. Wildlife management should be...

Read through your last few posts and then have a think about who's coming across as emotional and a bit of an idiot. I've already said that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I just have a different one to you. That has somehow enraged you and set you off on a rant about Putin...

Not sure you are actually reading my posts and you seem to be getting a bit emotional. I think a close season that gives protection during a time when the majority of the species are breeding isn't a bad idea. That's my opinion. If you'd rather have no close season that's fine, it's your...

That is exactly the problem as I see it. Management should be science (genuine science) based. Species that are struggling should be given a break and species that are over populated need knocking back a bit. I dont think closed seasons that take into account breeding season are contrary to that...

Perhaps. Or perhaps we should pick and choose our battles so we fight what needs fighting and work with stuff that makes logical sense. They are blinkered, no need for us to be too

I agree with that. My 3 year old could make better decisions than the current shower of **** that have somehow ended up in charge. I still don't think it's a good look to unthinkingly object to all changes to wildlife legislation though. Even if they've done it by mistake I dont think it's a bad...
