Useless kit

[Brno2e]

Strange thing is when chuck your hard earned at something it looks an essential bit of must have kit.

until you use it , if at all

Thats exactly what i found out with the wedding ring.

And then divided that by two to get the correct number of pairs...

Tony Hancock = Comedian
Matt Hancock = Clown

Also

Tim Vine - comedian
Jeremy Vine - joke

I did try that once and completely ruined a stalk. Got carried away, forgot where I was and then let rip with the Party Poppers...

Rebel!

 

[landkeeper]

i too own a butt-out, never used. A friend sent it to me as a joke when I started stalking. It reminds me of the Roman torture thing, a pineapple. i didn’t realise they were so widely owned.

seemingly they are not

Seems all my fishing and shooting kit is useless at the moment!

I may be wrong but i tried it once and it went in my eyes

It was only wrong if you happened to be standing with your back to the deer....

Soda Stream.......Total load of rubbish, just buy a bottle of Lemonade for goodness sake!

 

[spannulman]

The biggest dog egg in shootIng I have come across is the monkey shotgun cartridge loader total rubbish and a good reason for not believing gun mag reviews

that’s such a shame. I look at those from time to time thinking it is exactly what I need!

yep missed the trout season already I hope the mackerel run is not early this year or I’ll have an empty fish freezer

on the bright side I know the whereabouts of a decent carp lake - so all is not lost - as my grandad used to say “ yes son I’ve got shooting and fishing rights over this ground from dusk to dawn”

I probably won’t be starving to death.

It just seemed appropriate

I did love your descriptive turn of phrase - I've been laughing all day every time I've though of it

It does seem to adequately convey my dismay at just how rubbish those sticks were, doesn't it?

Butler Creek scope caps; as others have said, they are the cheapest quality plastic and broke the objective cover second time out. If it's raining just as quick to have a basic home made neoprene hood over the scope and whip it off when needed.

Reading this makes me think if every butt out plug hidden in stalkers cupboards were glued together we could bridge the Irish sea.

Monkey Loader! Hah! The only monkey is the monkey it makes out of its purchaser. I see now the poor bloody Germans are being told the great benefits of these things.

Time and again I've told of how I follow the advice Robert Churchill gave. After putting cartridges in cartridge back or coat pocket then SHAKE it for half a minute. The lead end ends facing downwards and the light end, the powder end, ends facing upwards. The job is done without wasting money of Monkey Loader devices. Put you hand into the cartridge bag or pocket and the rounds are positioned perfectly. Try it!

neoprene moderator cover. After 30 unsuccessful minutes of trying to fit the damn thing I calmly (!) walked away, got a big pair of scissors from the kitchen and hacked the damn thing into the smallest pieces I could, gathered them up and dropped them i the dust bin. Being a tight Yorkshire man i deeply regretted the £20 I wasted.

 

[bogtrotter]

when i first got into reloading all those years ago, a idiot in a gun shop told me this is what you need to reload perfect ammunition, yep a lee reloading kit, it didnt last long, what a waste money, bs
[/QUOTE

Really! been using a Lee kit or at least what started as one had a few additions over the years but still using the press
and some of the dies must be nearly thirty five years now, it has been faultless.

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Idleback chair.

Had it just over 9 years and it hasn't been used in anger once.

I have super cheap version, made in India with thin metal. I actually use it quite a bit. Not on deer though. Either foxing or ratting. Really good there.

 

[Cyres]

Without doubt current BC's absoute crap.

Can't fathom out why nobody has commented on .17 HMR ammo?

D

years ago my first mod was a vaimco i had it fitted by a fantastic well know gunsmith i had it on my rifle for a month it was a load of shite it kept coming loose you had to re zero after removing it for cleaning i got that sick of it i unscrewed it and threw it of the side of cliff what a load of crap bs

I had one of those on a 6PPC c/f. Fantastically quiet, but weighed half a tonne and added nearly a foot to the barrel length !!
Still, what else could you get at the time? It shifted the point of impact about 6" compared to when off the barrel.
I remember buying and fitting a T8 and thinking, " This is the way forward !!"

How times change.

 

[bluesako]

no bog trotter, it was the hand held one, not the press, i had a lee cast iron press that made some good ammo, infact ive still got it bs.
