Van insurance for a 17 year old lad! where to get it
davegilly replied to Teesdale-rabbiter's topic in 4x4's, Quads & ATV's
....im on commercial vehicle insurance with my suzuki samurai, surely you want to look into that. Especialy if you can show the company that you need the vehicle for work. When i was 17 (only a year ago!) i was paying £550, only paying £490 now -
I see, i take it back, im sorry, i got the wrong end of the stick!

You dont all have to shout at me on a chatroom jobby, just my opinion....or am i missing the point, correct

Im afriad im apt to disagree with 'nod', this question has come up hundereds of times on here, and the same answers keep appearing. Mainly 'you get what you pay for' and 'spend as much as you can afford on good glass' theres are both very true statements, i have a nikon buckmaster 4x14x50 a mid range scop £400 mark. Perfect in low light, and the image quality knocks socks off <£100 scopes. Easily take rabbits at 130/140 yards and conistantly with this scope. i dont belive that ' ' i think if you can afford it get the best possible, as it will make your shooting experience easier and mor

Good night foxing With 17HMR

what bullets were you using? -

Ive applied for 17hmr; faster, longer range bullet (but personal opinion i think tbh) but anywasy, i wasnt even guna mention foxes to the firearm lady. I just said rabbit control and corvids, she was just like 'and the odd fox if you want, but make sure it is at a reasonable range, 60/65 yards max'. :thumbs: ... and that was that, no more was said about it lol. -
