I did that first shot with an Alpex and a lightweight 308!! Put the rubber eye piece back on sharpish!I also forgot to add how I cut my nose from the mighty 222 recoil!
I removed the rubber eye piece and foolishly got to close to the ocular lense.

Its just a balaclava taped on to make it more fitting to shoot .
Not pretty but comfortable and does the job
Got busted last night, spotted a fox and headed in his direction. He went along a track and through a gap in a hedge. I followed up. Did he go left or right. Damn and blast he went right and clocked me by the lights of a distant industrial estate. Off he went.
So I made a plan, 6 pm I pulled up facing the field I spotted him in last night, roughly half an hour early. I was duly informed that the chicken would be on the table at 8, don’t be late !
630 and the fox came trotting along the far side of the field with an 8 foot wall as a backstop. A short whistle and he stopped. Game over and home well in time for a drink before dinner.

I put a rimfire bullet through a plastic water trough recently, felt really shameful telling farmer next day and offered to pop over and mend it. He had already put a nut and bolt through the hole. First damage I have caused in many years of pest control. Can be super tricky round the yards and calf pens. Dont fancy doing the phonecall of shame again that's for sure!

Must be common practice, I was shooting rabbits one night with my .22lr and on entering the farmyard noticed a few rats so started knocking a few over until I hit the unseen blue water pipe.
The shameful knock on the door ensued but luckily farmer not bothered , laughed it off and fixed it straight away ...PHEW

No, I've got this one
TOURBON Leather Cheek Rest TOURBON Leather Cheek Rest
And it's really good. But like you say, £13 im tempted to try on my 22lr.
Two vixens tonight, dark belly on the second one. They were both hanging about together. Really thought it might be a paired up dog and vixen but no. Didn't feel that cold but the gritter lorries were flying about on my way home. Forecast doesn't indicate a freeze, wonder if they have got it wrong?

Well done.
Yes, councils often get it wrong, especially Labour councils.
I elected to stay in & warm my ass next to a glass of Port, out tonight as it shows no falling H2O.

When a buddy worked for council it was volunteers on gritter waggon at night.
It was a sought after shift and often driving round with no grit in the waggon, with double bubble and a day off in lieu.

Ps. A nice “Cross my palm” could be had from places (Especially pubs) with large car parks.
