Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it. Hopefully it's a business that will be able to support me and my daughter (and my dogs!!), but early days yet. Only been going 2 months, so not supporting myself at the moment, but it's getting there!! Cheers, Effortless. -

Hello mate, thanks for your advice. It's a complete mince of 80/10/10 mix (meat & bone %, organ meat 10% and fruit 'n veg 10%). However I expect most raw feeders on here will be doing their own raw lol!! Delivery is nationwide FREE next day courier in insulated boxes. This wasn't supposed to be an advert for me, but if anyone is interested www.nutriraw.co.uk. And I'm still looking for a supplier of wild rabbits!! Cheers, Effortless. -

Up for negotiation I guess... but I'll be up front and open with you about what I'm selling it for, and how much I need to buy it for. My spreadsheets work in kilos though!! If you're interested in seeing the figures, let's talk... Cheers, Efforless. -
Hi all, I own a small start-up raw dog food business, and my current small band of customers have requested I add wild rabbit to my stock. Therefore I'm looking to buy wild rabbit off any country boys in the West Kent area, in Offham actually. Not bothered how many I get, even if it's only a few I can store them in my walk-in freezer until I have enough to put through the mixer grinder. I'm looking for whole rabbit, skin on, gutted, but with heart, liver and kidneys left intact. They need to be snared or head-shot with air weapons or rimfires, not looking to include lead shot in my

I prefer fixed power scopes... better light transmission, lighter, less changes to zero, easy to estimate ranges by target siz etc etc. And on my CZ Varmint in .22LR... with a Hawke 6x42... and very happy with it!! And usefully under a £100 too when I bought it :-) HTH, Effortless

cz452 varmint 16 inch .22lr
Effortless replied to ajaxinvincible's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I have one, and I love it. I went for the Varmint, as I started out in target shooting, so I tend to prefer heavier rifles, even if I have to carry them. Trigger was a bit agricultural, but soon fixed with a Brooks trigger kit, WELL worth the money!! Trigger is LOVELY now!! I have a Hawke 6x42 (can't stand zooms), SAK moderator, Harris bipod, and an olde worlde leather sling. Suits me. HTH, Effortless. -
Hi all, I seem to recall it was a 1,000Lb pig?? And shot by a young boy aged 12?? And Goooooooogle is your friend.... some of my facts are wrong... here. Effortless

Ned, what a cracking thread!!! Just bumped into it and read the whole lot, very entertaining, and shows us Europeans what we're missing. I love the look of your dogs... hard as nails, the lot of them. I'm a wannabe country boy and I've just got a Labrador pup to do a bit of retrieving on our local informal driven pheasant shoots, and what a contrast between yours and mine. Took mine along to a shoot when he was 5 mths, showed him a dead pheasant, and he got a bit frightened of it LOL!! God knows what he would do with a grunting snorting angry tusky wild boar trying to kill him... probably

Zooms are for yanks. Stick to a 6x42 or 8x56. Nearly everyone who has a zoom ends up leaving it at 6x. A constant magnification makes range estimation much easier (esp if you're using subs with a trajectory of a rainbow), zooms are expensive as there are so many more bits of glass in them (known as elements), and all those bits of glass reduce light transmission. They are also heavier. I have a Hawke 6x42 and I'm delighted with it. Effortless.

Boring out a barrel? re-chambering
Effortless replied to danebrewer10's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Depends how much metal needs removing... I have a Brno ZKK 602 that has been re-chambered from 458 Win Mag to 458 Lott... such a minor change that it will still safely fire 458 Win Mags. I believe this conversion takes little more than a few turns with the appropriate reamer. And as Deker says, be careful if you have to remove a significant amount of barrel material. Effortless. -
Nathan, just going on what you said above, I think it's a no-brainer. Stick to a CZ bolt action, cheap scope, and mod and Eley subs. I come from a target shooting background, so I like heavy barrels and wide forends, hence my choice of CZ Varmint. It's fitted with a Hawke 6x42, Harris bipod and a SAK mod. Others would prefer CZ's American, or their synthetic / stainless models. They are all good, solid all-steel actions, but not as well finished as Anschutz/Sako/Tikka etc etc. I also have strong views on scopes... steer clear of zooms, unless they are VERY good quality. In my experienc
