help with rough shooting
Country Life replied to langouroux's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
A Gundog is an asset that you can not live without, (if you have one), BUT they are not essential for rough shooting, I shoot over rough and hilly terrain I would not cover this ground without my Tess, she does me proud BUT being a Springer she will always think she knows best and keeping her close and flushing where YOU want her to flush can be a little bit of a headache. Springers never grow up... If you shoot over water you will need a dog without question, I wouldnt dream of shooting over or near water without a gundog. moreover to have a trusted compainion by your side takes a hell of -

hawke 3-9X50 IR red or green ??
Country Life replied to nealey's topic in Reloading and Gun Maintenance
Hi As far as I am aware there is no way of changing the colour of thr IR, just the brightness. These I think are pre set and I dont think you have a choice of colour. John -
If you want to change your gun or add another you simply apply for a variation to your FAC. It is better to put on your ticket on application the rifles / guns you may want in the future, including the mods. the FEO can advice you when he does his visit to check your safe etc. for example, 1 .22 bolt action rimfire rifle. 2 .22 moderator 1 .22 semi auto rimfire rifle 1 .17 hmr rimfire 1 .17 hmr moderator 1 .243 cnt fire bolt action rifle 1 7 shot semi auto shotgun By doing this you will have to account for all enteries and why you want them. I did it this way and got all min

BenBhoy You should be ok because you are rough shooter you will be able to get the swing right, have a go its great fun, I go to my local clay shoot which has a very relaxed atmosphere, great practice, and i wouldnt mind betting you have the speed to pick out the clays, faster than some..as for chokes well mine are fixed..so I couldnt comment. GO FOR IT, YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME, just dont expect miracles, just enjoy it. then if its for you get a little help n pointers. John

Scope Preference: Fixed or Variable Magnification
Country Life replied to Sterry's topic in Reloading and Gun Maintenance
Chalky, the sniper was http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/2524516 Good read though,,interesting,,,maybe they use logs for distance / alt /moisture, or just a bolistics calc, etc, etc, so they can just dial in to the target,...it did take three shots though... Still I couldnt do that. -
Scope Preference: Fixed or Variable Magnification
Country Life replied to Sterry's topic in Reloading and Gun Maintenance
I voted fixed...Although I have zoom on my .22 CZ 452 it has been on X6 since they day I got it. Having said that I have tried the zoom only to find out that zero has moved, maybee I dont spend enough on glass. John -
You guy`s must have it easy, I would be lucky if I saw that many bunnies in a month let alone shoot them... NICE ONE ...Jammy buggers... John

Nice one, Mine was ok, went on one of my rough shoots, Mad Dogs n Englishmen, come to mind, Tess, my Springer, worked hard, she flushed to Rabbits for me, so I just had to give them the 28g`s worth. then she`s off after the retreve, i was knackerd just waching her, it must have been 20deg +. Orther than that what can I say, a nice hot day, in the best company "Tess" and some of the best views in North Wales.. John

Custom? .223 rifle- Jeff Bucknell
Country Life replied to danebrewer10's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I can remember my first shot with a .22lr.. Back in the good old 1977..open sights, at umm, must be an age thing . I can only remember getting 2 bulls, the instructer behind me, "good shooting, but your at 11 o`klock,try a little lower and you will be in the BULL". So I did. Missed by a mile. I looked behind, It was then I noticed, he was talking to the lad next to me... I dont know the things you remember, and dont forget.. Who cares anyway, memories are for yourself, to share or even to bragg about, who`s botherd? or are we all wanna be`s... As for the topic ...I just -
I have an SR6 on my CZ452 .22, it works just fine no trouble at all, never lost zero, cost about £100. I cant fault them, ok compaire them to lets say an s n b and there is no comparison, regarding light gathering potensial, like anything else on the market more money = better optics. The SR6 is designed for air rifles, the retical is VERY USEFUL.. Check out this link. http://www.hawkeoptics.com/riflescopes/hawkesr/index.php John

posh shooting club in devon with a semi?
Country Life replied to wayne peters's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Not much to add to this other than, SEMI`S ARE SOMETIMES NOT ALLOWED AT CLAY SHOOTS. I would ask first. Save any embarrassment. I have a Baikal 12g old as F**k twin trigger n all, drop clays all the time.. Let the other lads have a go and they couldn’t hit a barn door from 10 paces. It isn’t the cost of the gun it’s the person on the trigger mate, I have read countless times of people buying expensive guns only to find that they can’t shoot for peanuts with it. I have also read that some guns out perform expensive guns no end. My Baikal is a cheap work a day gun fixed chok -
I would not bother mate, YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY AND TAKES YOUR CHANCE. As they say, But dont be fooled in thinking you are getting a good deal, the only person making money is the seller if he/she sells any, that is.. makes you wonder what they get them for. you and your rifle deserves better, trust me you will not be happy..put the money on a Hawke SR6. these were designed for air rifles, and have a retical that works for you once zeroed. Happy Hunting John
