    The carbon Tiptons are excellent rods, I have them for all my rifles now

    I have had a nikon scope and it was a cracking bit of glass for the money but isnt upto the quality of the s&b i have now as its replacement.. In terms of build quality or glass. If you can get a chance to try a few types of scope ie fixed or variable you could save yourself alot of grief and money. Personally if I were buying a scope to use for mainly foxing/deer I would get an 8x56 or similar by the best manufacturer you can find (you can easily pick up a used hung s&b 8x56 for £500) as you aint gonna be shooting that far and a quality optic like this will last a lifetime

    would the simple answer not be to keep using the 100 gr feds?

    i use sportsmatch on both my rimfires with no problems at all. When my sling broke and the scope took the full brunt of the fall it was still bang on.

    ive seen good results from 10x and cci, federal and rem primers so stick to what you can get a good supply of and work your loads up with them!!

    ive read a lot of reports on stock flex with prohunters - something to bear in mind if your fitting a bipod and mod

    i have found that applying the same sort of common sense to buying used rifles as most things helps alot. Buying blind is a different matter of course and i would always want to look over something before commiting unless i trusted the buyer..... 4 of my 5 rifles were used and are all brill, plus if you ever want to sell it on you wont take the big hit you would with a new one.

    I was in the same boat a few months ago.. what cal etc etc. In the end I made a list of all the cals that I thought suitable and went looking for a rifle, which meant I had a much larger choice (i bought used). I found a lovely stn/syn sako 75 in 243 for a very good price so went with that As has been said all the cals mentioned will take deer, it comes down to your personal choice at the end of the day.

    My HMR is fitted with a 6-18 buckmaster, for the money they are very hard to beat; very clear, not too fussy with eye relief and good in low light especially considering its a 40mm obj. I have schmidts on my other rifles and unless i stumble across a bargain of this quality I wont be changing it.

    i think the fact that i only just realised it was here is a pretty good sign that its well hidden
  15. jordang
    i have the 3-12 and really rate it.
  16. jordang
    i have a 6x42 on my .22lr and find its perfect. The schmidt will make first/last light shooting alot better for you, a quality scope like that will outlast you plus it will hold its value if you ever want to sell it on

    if its is good nick then thats a right steal, they usually go for around £350 - £400

    I have to disagree on leupolds and low light, imo they are certainly no better than nightforce ( in fact I would goes as far as to say i would rather use a nightforce than leupold any day of the week; although I havent looked through one of the new range) and certainly nowhere near the league of schmidts, swaro's and zeiss... hence its better to try a few to see how your eyes get on with them.

    as stated but I use the knobbly green plastic coated canes with a bit of bungee tied around.... good for sitting and standing. Plus a bit of foam around the lower end stops them 'clacking' together at the vital moment as spooking the quarry useful link here for making a 'quadpod' too: http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/foru...opic.php?t=6530

    i had a 5.5-22 nightforce and I dont think for daylight shooting it could be bettered. The np2dd reticule is a fantastic long range varminting reticle (I havent seen a better one) and the turrets are bang on everytime.

    if you want to shoot heavier than 40gr then you may need a 1:10 but a 1:11 will shoot everything upto 40gr very well. 26" is a good length too

    I have a 20tac. Ive found it an excellent vermin round; rabbits are heads shot, (as they are with all my rifles) so eating them is not a problem; ive had similar damage from my HMR, that said a body shot will spread the rabbit about a bit. Its equally good on feathers and fox. I find the .204 round very accurate and flat shooting. rough performance guide for a 40gr @ 3880fps is 100yrd zero, 200 yrd 1" drop, 300 yrd 6" drop, 400yrd 15" drop From what I remember reading before I bought the 20, the factory 204r generally has 1-12 twist which means you may struggle with 40gr, that said

    I think you may have found yourself a new job mate. They look lovely

    I made a similar choice earlier in the year and went for a 20 Tac. Its an ideal round for fox and rabbits, flat shooting, low recoil and very accurate. Only potential problem is you have to reload for it. If I hadn’t picked the 20 I would have bought a 22-250, it’s a very good fox round.

    I'm off into the Belize/Guatamalan jungle with work for a month very soon , just bought one of these as a spare for my belt kit , it looks pretty good , have to see how it holds up as the jungle usually wrecks everything . have you been before?? Its quality, i went a few years ago and loved it Yep i go every 3 months , its rainy season at the moment so that should be fun. haha driving out there was one of the best bits!!! Especially this time of year - i reckon anyone who can drive through those jungle tracks during the rainy season can drive anywhere, especially with th
