Hello folks

[carlhanson69]

Hi my names carl and I’ve been shooting for over 40 years starting with my BSA Mercury progressing to centre fire pistols and rifles as well as rough shooting and clay pigeon
I was in an era when it was possible to start shooting early and had a smith and Wesson 44 magnum and a colt AR15 semi auto at 18years old
Those were the days!

I currently shoot 303 service rifle and 6.5 creedmore and practical shotgun and lever action rifles
I have never done stalking but I am feeling the need to pursue this particular avenue of shooting
Any advice and guidance will be much appreciated

Best regards
Carl

Thank you my friend
Love shooting and like all the various disciplines too!

I think this must be the most popular UK shooting forum going, and is a good reference for news and legal issues as well.

Welcome to the mad house

You will get some grief for owning a Creedmoor ... I know

 

[carlhanson69]

I own a Daniel’s Defence 6.5 creedmore with a Delta scope
Straight out of the box with factory ammunition it shot half inch groups at 100 yds not too shabby
I currently shoot out to 1000 yards and it’s getting quite scientific studying the wind etc but I love the challenge
My gun cabinets are getting quite full due to my interest in various disciplines eg practical shotgun , lever action, classic military bolt actions etc but I wouldn’t have it any other way!!

Ah yes, you always need more. More guns, more ammo and more space!

 

[carlhanson69]

Lol
I keep adding more to my collection as the hobby advances!

Do you currently go stalking?
I have been thinking about a Rigby Highland Stalker Rifle and would be interested in hearing your comments and feedback

Sorry, but i haven't any experience with the Highland Stalker but recall there was one for sale on here a few months back. Stunning rifle. Use the search function and i'm sure you'll find it

Thank you for your advice
I’m going to do a bit of research on them as you can imagine they aren’t exactly cheap lol
