  1. I know someone was looking after me i thought my legs were snapped i didnt wanna look at them incase bone was sticking through but i was very lucky. Fingers crossed mate you'll be up, out and mooching about in no time.
  2. You were lucky mate falling that far and only doing that damage. could have been much worse!
  3. Mines boring really Steve (my name) FF (firefighter) 1353 is my old hampshire service number before i moved back home to south wales fire service.
  4. Congrats on the permission, hope for many more evenings like that. Good pic too
  5. A mate of mine traps no end of foxes a year in a very similar cage to yours. Never seen anything like that before. But it still counts as one in the bag and one away from your chickens. ATB
  6. I use the mk2 callmaster to good effect, always calls them in! may take an hour or so but mostly much less time. ATB
  7. Right Ok. Lets see if i can get it right this time: .243 22" barrel Varget powder 36.8gr (way less than the max in the Hornaday Manual) Lapua Brass Hornaday 65gr V-Max Federal Primers COL 2.250 measured to ogive (working on 2.210 after shooting various groups) Apologies for the mistakes guys, less haste, more speed springs to mind!! Thanks
  8. I had a tikka t3 Lite in 223 (synthetic and stainless) it was fantastic. very accurate with Win SP I liked it so much i bought a .243 too.
  9. No you cant mate, my mistake. should read 46.8gr.
  10. Steve, it's going to be around 4468 +/- 10% fps BUT will also be high pressure at around 857 bar (taken on a COAL of 2.680"). 56.8grains will give a compressed charge of 35% are you sure your numbers are correct?You can not get 100% accurate MV unless you spend £1000's on a top notch chronograph. The cheaper ones have an error of +/- 5% IIRC. You can obtain a mathematical model of your load using "Quick load" which is surprisingly very accurate. John Oops, sorry all, not 56.8 it should have been 46.8gr.
  11. Totally Mate. Just smarten yourself up and just knock on some doors. I did that very thing last weekend, picked up over 1500 acres. Just do it mate, be honest and open and you'll be surprised. Good luck mate ATB
  12. Hi mate Can only comment on what ive owned. Cz are a great start, sort the trigger with a trigger kit and you'll be sorted. Cheap, accurate and reliable. ALB Steve
  13. No waste here mate, there's enough friends and family who eat rabbit.
  14. Hi all Can anyone tell me what FPS i'm getting with the following load: 56.8gr Varget - 65gr Hornaday V-max Tikka t3 .243 with 20" Barrel Also where i can find out this kind of information without having to buy a chronograph Thanks All Steve
  15. Lens pen all the way. really cheap to buy, much cheaper than new glass!!
  16. I've got the mtc 4-16 its a nice scope, nice clear optics for the price i think it would be hard to do better for that kind of money.
  17. Take it to a shop mate and get it sorted. rather than mess with it yourself. good luck.
