View Advert Hi all, Due to lack of use I am selling a Starlight Arrow digi NV unit, perfect working order, everything included, charger 2 x batteries, spare Allen keys and battery bolts - 2 things to mention 1, I have made a U shaped cut out in the housing so that I could slip it on my Vortex PST 6-24 scope that has battery unit on the ocular, this does Not stop the unit being fitted to any other scope. 2 There is no Dragonfly IR torch included, just the Arrow Unit.

    I have been away from this site for a year or so. To be honest I can believe that all those who have commented on the original question, except those whos answer was correct, were not able to read their own certificate conditions and figure it out themselves. I can on,y assume there was lots of advice from non FAC holders. If you have a closed ticket, ie you have nominated land on record that you shoot over, it doesnt matter a jot that your mate has invited you to shoot on his permission, all you have to do is make sure you get a 'Land Authority Form' completed by the owner or tenant (far

    Your missing the most important and highly favoured bullet! 53gr V-Max. Very high BC! Enough said Forget swaged stuff, benchrest, F-class and long range varmint shooters just use high quality off the shelf bullet heads. Also try the Sierra dome points, used them in the past for easy 1/2" groups at 55gr.

    I bought this set up about a year ago. In that time I have used it a handful of times ( been using nv kit predominately) and the lithium battery has only been charged about 5 times if that. All in perfect clean working order, amber filter has a few scuffs. Coil cable and cigar adapter are in as new perfect working order as is the on/off switch, never had any problems with overheating etc. Lightforce 140 lance with scope mount Spare scope mount Deben Tracer 10Ah Lithium battery, mains charger, cigar car charger, pouch Lightforce 140 Amber Would rather sell as a complete pack

    Sounds to me like far to many things going wrong that you dont fully understand yet. The thing you said about not being able to get a decent sight picture in the scope is definitely the place to start. If there is one thing that will cause bad groupings its 'cheek Weld' and parallax issues. Pick your rifle up and bring it to shoulder with your eyes closed as if your ready to take a shot. Now open your shooting eye and do not adjust your cheek position. If you cant see through the scope properly you need to adjust the height of the scope mounts or the height of the comb till you can see thr

    Bunson, Hello I was going to post my thoughts on collars and thought better of it as personally didnt want to get involved in that debate. Personally I think they work well if used correctly and are another training aid. However, reading what you have posted on your use, I would put you (and one of the other lads who used a collar) firmly in the box of 'a person who knows how to use correct timing with collar' not blowing smoke up you mate. Im thinking that you already have a very concise grasp on canine behavior and body language and as such know how to use a collar to the best eff

    To the Original Poster Very interesting thread. Im a specialist search dog trainer/assessor and handler, my working field of expertise is irrelevant as canine behavior training is training, whether thats gun dogs, all arms/explosives, money, dvd, drugs, animal scats etc etc etc There is not a month goes by when we don't get springer spaniels in the kennels for rehoming, mostly around 9 months to 13 months age range. The reason why is because of their extreme interest and prey drive, they just switch right on and want to have fun mooching about a full speed in the undergrowth and he

    Polishing is the key word, fine abrasive papers or fine finishing stone then 'crocus' paper for the smoothest finish at 'micron' level. I would have a very close inspection of how the 'stages' in the trigger work together, usually just removing the rough machine marks or casting marks is all thats needed.

    Price dropped for the last time as now have custom rifle and need to get some cash back off this Steyr. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/279321-steyr-mannlicher-pro-hunter-mountain-223-price-drop-750-ono/

    This rifle still for sale, now down to a rock bottom price of £695, this is an absolute steal!!!! A Mannlicher Pro HUnter Mountain in excellent condition, 400 rounds fired and at half the price of a new one!!!! Come one this is probably one of the best hunting rifles out there, forget the remington/tikkas and those cheapo Howas, grab a proper rifle

    To be honest I would not of gone down the .410 route for pistol, would have gone section 5 9mm or 357mag revolver. Plenty about at reasonable price, you should see what some of the large livestock Vets have, a local one up here (who enjoys his fieldsports and rifle etc) has a Glock, fair play to him as he often has cause for target practice to ensure accuracy in humane dispatch. http://www.lannertactical.com/Glock-Pistols.html

    Sorry for the delay, been working away. To ensure that a bullet leaves the bore of a rifled barrel in a perfectly paralleled manner it is essential that the internal edge of the rifle bore at the muzzles is as sharp and as perfectly round as possible. If there is any wear to this edge, say from either bad manufacturing process or damage from carrying the gun in the filed, or more so if the edge is dulled in some places from constant abrasion from bronze brush then the gasses that push the bullet along the bore will escape at different points around the muzzle and then upset the bullets

    Also, take the bronze brush out of the boresnake, tease it out with a pair of pliers, it will ruin your rifle crown, the snake will still clean just as good in the field. Plus the reason why your boresake brass weight gets stuck is the crimping, have a look at how its crimped to the cord, then gently file it back to a round shape and all will be good. Mark

    I can recommend a few things: Read this, its from an ex UK forces sniper who (real not walter mitty i can vouch for) knows a few things, it was written for spring gun shooters a while back but the principles of marksmanship are the same. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/187884-prone-position-stability/ Thomas Haugland also knows a little, have a look at his videos from the start, you will learn a lot: http://www.youtube.com/user/sierra645 Wind reading skills are key with the little HMR calibre in particular, get yourself a cheap wind meter, check the wind speeds and loo

    I have the same die set as you and use as per the instructions in the case with a rockchucker press and have no problems. This is from the Lee instructions: You wind the full length sizer till it touches the shell holder then screw in 1/3 to 1/4 more. You wind the collet neck sizer till it touches shell holder then 2 full turns. You wind the bullet seater till it touches the shell holder then 1/4 turn more, Not 1/2 a turn as per your post. Buckled shoulders are due to the collet being closed (stuck) or die set to deep. Most problems with dies damaging cases is user error.

    Last price drop now, grab a bargain at £750 this is a very low price for a high quality rifle,Tikka and Remington's aren't in the same league.

    Nice to feel welcomed back, thanks lads Moved house, added the role of specialist search dog instructor (cadaver/human remains & drowned victims) to my skill set and that has taken a bit of time. Not been up to much on the hunting side of things, perhaps I will get more of a chance this year. Last year I only got out for a few days at best. Will duck in and out of here when I can lads.
