  1. Thinking of buying a Bushnell 10x42 Binoculars and Scout 1000 Rangefinder. Its a package deal from an American retailer. Anyone use these items and have any opinions on this stuff?? It converts to roughly 200 quid, not having it shipped here so no customs etc as a friend is taking it home. All opinions welcome!
  2. Sod that, bu are you in the south? Im in the North so customs could be cheaper as up here is part of the UK, yes? no? Anyone know the rates for the customs, what amount is chargeable to the custom rate and what amount is chargeable to VAT???
  3. I'm thinking of buying some stuff from cabelas this week. I understand that the shipping is 45% of the overall value of the items. Can anyone shed any light on how long it takes for items to come (my biggest item would be chestwaders). Also how nice are the customs people - what are the percentages on that sort of stuff? Also help appreciated.

  13. I have a 1 year old springer bitch, she will retrieve the dummy but will not come to me. She has been called a 'holly' since the start but will not react when her name is called. She can hear as she understands sit and stay. When she retrieves the dummy, she will not come to me with it. She will carry it to about 5 - 10 yards from me and thats it. I have tried coaxing her to me with some dog nuts, little bones, even meat, still wont come to me with the dummy, I have to go to her.

  14. I've recently bought a new Steyr Mannlicher Classic, half stock, .243. Im for using a Schmidt and Bender 8x56 scope with 30mm tube.

Can mounts be got in different heights?? Any recommendations on manufacturers - WARNE? All help appreciated
