    Thanks for the replies guys although I could not work out what ghilles contribution to the problem was. Yards and metres, I work with both if the tape measure will reach. 76metres=83 yards(ish) but I still convert where possible (and mental maths permitting) to old money inches, feet, and yards whenever I can. I have always thought that shooting should be in yards and MOA on scopes is normally quoted as inches to 100 yards. Range cards and some published articles are a different story. Yards, metres (meters) or whatever is the correct spelling cause me a bit of thought though becaus

    It's officially Christmas because I got given a JSR 6X32 Mini PX Adjustable Illuminated Scope. Nice bit of kit which zeroed in at 30 metres a treat in under 10 mins. All OK so far? The problem is the Mildot. The scope adjustment is 1/4inch @ 100 yards. i.e. the MOA. OK This I can equate to hence the fast line up. The parallax adjustment works and all is well with respect to the reticule (although I think it's going to be a little bright at night even on the weakest setting.) Then I tried the Mildot. At 30 metres, my 12" steel rule should have been between 3 1/2 and 3 1/4 mils accord

    Already taken care of Ta, my Tasco does the rounds from rifle to rifle almost on a daily basis. My wife says I should get another life! The eye relief on 3" scopes was a problem until my gunsmith found the old Tasco. Now, no problem. 4" great (size matters). The only optic I own where it does not matter is the single point but, being optical neutral, it wouldn't. Sad thing getting older...... Thanks for the comment though.

    Arrestor blocks and my beast of a HW35. Arrestor blocks have always been a pain and most owners of springers know that they don't always work unless you have drilled blocks to fit studs into. With my beast, despite spending good money on "top quality mounts" , my scopes (before they died from being shaken apart) always crept back after a few tins of pellets. Arrestor blocks worked (ish) but same problem as you i.e. neck ache and poor eye relief. So, in the truest tradition of "Botchit" I expoy'd a top of a HSS drill into the rear drilled hole (see picture attachments) and have never look

    The barking was because it was lonely! Squirting water works but it's a bit of a pain. Diversion training works better BUT takes longer. I had the same with my little angel. (cross collie/springer) Taught it a new game. hunt the cherrio (the breakfast cerial!) Once learnt, when ever I left the room, I scattered a few round the mat and the dog spent the next 20 mins looking for more! When it gave up, it headed for the dog bed and waited. On return, if no barking, add a couple of cherrio's to happy dog's face. End result, peace in my time. Helped with it's training as it got used to using
