Ok thats great thanks. I will look in the piggy bank and see what cash I have knocking about. I will try to up load a photo of my set up. ATB DB

Hello John just a quick question. Which device do you use to range the fox. I have problems gauging distances in day light never mind when its dark the eyes are not as good as they were. I have a .223 set up with a clulite LED torch which is good out 200mts or so they say. I lamp alone at the minute so was wondering if you could advise me on ranging equipment that is suitable for a one man set up. ATB Derry Boy

Thanks lads for the replys. I know this does sound like a stupid topic but I just wanted to be sure, pardon the pun.

I'm heading to Norfolk ducking shooting soon with my 3 shot semi auto. What are the rules regarding having the 3rd shot. I'm used to shooting in N.Ireland where you must have the gun plugged to only hold two shots. Is this the case in England.

I have to add the fact that a lot of people ( NOT ALL ) do not necessarily choose to hunt with dogs as apposed to guns as the UK guns laws are pretty stringent and not everyone who wishes to hunt by means of gun can do so. Do you disagree with deer stalking/ driven shooting or rough shooting in general. Are these not sporting types of hunting? Maybe I've been a crazed murdererkilling innocent animals recklessly for all these years. Or what about big game hunting have they trained a dog to catch buffalo yet? There is more to hunting than foxes?

Can anyone suggest a range finder for night use. Something that would be accurate out to about 200 yards. ATB DB

Forgot to mention............. Scrapped the Sauer in may and bought a Sako 85... Just forgot to update the family pics.. Oh.and sold the Zeiss and bought a Burris..... I love your sako 85 man thats one nice piece of kit. Would you mind giving me the exact details of the whole set up and a rough estimate on total cost. Was talking to a dealer today and he was looking £1256 for the rifle alone just out of the box.

Can anyone suggest a good gun dealer/ shop with a decent range of rifles as I'm going to change mine hopefully. I had a look at Essex gun room which have a great range to pick from although a little pricey.I'm prepared to travel 1 hour any direction outside the M25. ATB DB

Ok I guess the next question is which mod would be most suitable for this rifle and I'm not sure how they vary on price as I've never had one before.. Also if the rifle is cut and screwed can it be used without the mod? Just thinking where I would stand if for some reason I could not get the mod on my FAC.

Thanks for that. Couple more questions. Do you need to have the mod variant on you FAC before you have the work done i.e barrel cut and screwed. And roughly how much should it cost. Thanks again.

I have an old Brno .222 with the fixed sight attached to the end of the barrel. Can this be removed to allow a moderator to be fitted? All advice welcome.
