  1. Jesus, that’s way over the top lapua for a rimfire ?
  2. Keep at them chap, by protecting the livestock in accordance with the GL you are also looking after the native bird species at this nesting time, nice work ?
  3. Well it’s been 5 days now since the licenses were pulled and all NE have managed to cobble together is one GL for the control of crows, we were told that the licenses would start to be reissued by Monday but have seen nothing, I suppose this has something to do with the people running NE have a server conflict of interest regarding previous employment, at this time of year the nesting fowl are having a hard enough time without there nests been raided, so what to do, do I wait it out for a couple more days or do I go through the rigmarole of the personal license form with the bloke who owns the
  4. The behaviour of some people is disgusting and they are not part of any shooting community I belong to, I can’t stand the man and when horrible things happen to him it gives me a warm feeling inside but these acts are not helping one bit, I’ve never been of the opinion that you should shoot it just because you can and there should always be a reason for doing so, on some of my permission we have jays, I don’t shoot these because they are not in significant numbers where as the magpies are a major problem, I feel if more people were aware of what’s around them then the different species could b
  5. I know for the foreseeable future I will be doing what is asked of me, I’m not saying I’m going to break the law or go against the GL but for me the people who work/farm the countryside know how to look after it, it’s just a terrible shame that it has to be such a taboo subject and god forbid you actually enjoy what you do
  6. I had that discussion about decoying with my farmer mate yesterday and he agreed with me that the best time to shoot pigeon is on the stubble and to decoy them in, although at this time they are not coursing any damage, he would argue that this is prevention and a very good way of knocking the numbers back before the winter/spring crops go in, you know the problem is coming so why wait until it arrives ?
  7. I read it as, as the last resort is to shoot them the owner of the livestock will of taken the preventative steps before asking the likes of me and you to dispatch them in a humane manner and as for a record of the steps taken what do they want “ on Tuesday I waved a flag at them nasty crows and Wednesday we used a banger until they wised up to it, as for what has been shot I’d leave that for the owner to document
  8. I like them cci’s for chucking at rabbits because they are as many as you can carry for about 10 quid ?
  9. You will not have to carry any licenses, the rest of the licenses will be issued in the coming weeks and as it is a general license all you will need to do is act in accordance with the license
  10. Here’s a few that are worth a look in that budget, all adjustable parallax, the optisan is a cracker
  11. That’s GL26 the first revised licence to be released by NE, it allows the shooting of crows only for the protection of livestock providing that you carry this out within NE guidelines
  12. Haha, I love my trigger sticks ?? saying that I was out with someone last night and his fell to bits ?
  13. You won’t go wrong with bushnell, although they are American the optics are made in Japan, they also make Tasco, browning optics and them primos trigger sticks ?
  14. Nice shooting Bernard sausage, it’s nice to know there’s still some things you can legally shoot and eat ?
  15. It looks like I may of mislead you there, Ive just had a look and the new scope all seem to use the same coating, I was told when I bought mine the coating was different for use in low light, maybe they have updated the rang and changed to the higher quality lens, if that’s the case and it has got the multi coated lens I wouldn’t recommend it with the pard and I’d be tempted to look at the Nikon
  16. I’ll have a look at that mate, cheers, I’ll join just to have a look at what’s for sale, I stay out of the general forum on here, if I want to listen to people giving there pointless opinions on pointless sh*t nobody really has any interest in I’ll pop round and have a cup of tea with my old Mam and her mates ? they can talk sh*t for England ?
  17. I think it’s the coatings on the lens that are different, the scope that’s on my .243 works really well in low light, I think the cheaper vortex scopes don’t have the same coating on the lens so would work better with the pard
  18. I was wrong on that Dave it was a 4-16x50
  19. This is a little cracker, the glass isn’t as high quality as what’s in mine ( not coated the same ) so it should be ok with the pard, if you have the time go on uttings web site, the have a very big selection of scopes ?
  20. It up to you if you tell people how you spend your sundays ?
  21. What sites that on mate, I was looking on free-ads last night and someone is selling a hw95 for £150 with hawke scope but it has been rapped in camo tape and I would of thought the only reason you would do that is it’s a bit battered
  22. This is similar to the email I was sent, it seems to be getting sorted in an arse about way, it’s just a shame NE were aware of this before they pulled the GL and were not asked to do so
  23. Yes, I was wanting one for the .243, I didn’t get one in the end as the image wasn’t the clearest and I would of thought it would be worse in darkness, I’ve looked through one fitted to an MTC scope and the image was Chrystal clear
