    Cheers Buddy, I'll have a look... Effortless.

    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.

    No idea mate, not looked into it yet!! Couriered by who? And couriered from who? 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

    As the title, did anyone catch this news item on the BBC website... 38 Ibs, a very big boy!! http://www.bbc.co.uk...etland-17259087 Cheers, Effortless.

    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.

    big pig

    Effortless replied to clint's topic in Big Game Hunting

    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.

    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

    Sean, gorgeous little pup!! She look beautiful. How are you getting on with training? Effortless.

    A lot of incompetence going on there!!! What was the shot count?? Effortless.

    I have a Harris L I think, extendable, and side-to-side swivel. Love it to bits. I'm too clumsy to stalk, so just stick my arse in a hedge with the rifle sat on the bipod pointing down the hedge line. Utterly rock solid and stable. Get one. Effortless.
  18. Effortless
    What would you have preferred he do??? Walk backwards 300yds and shoot it over open sights, with a round that has a trajectory like a rainbow??? Perhaps get a game ranger to whack it on the arse so he could get a running shot at it??? Shoot it from the hip??? Provoke it into a charge and shoot it off the muzzle as it would look more exciting on video??? Some strange opinions on here I think. The point of the stalk in big game shooting is to get as close as possible to be SURE of your shot. And if you're stalking is so good that the animal is unaware that you are there, so mu

    And don't forget gutting, butchering, ploughing the field and setting fire to the heather, all with the same shot!! Effortless

    Well, I got into shooting from target shooting, so I'm used to light triggers. However, as camies said, there is a lower limit for fullbore target rifles, which is quite heavy by smallbore standards. I bought a new CZ Varmint in 22LR, and was appalled at the out-of-the-box trigger... massively heavy and loads of creep. I bought the Brookes trigger kit, and used the lightest spring with the thickest sleeve, and it has made a vast improvement. There is still a slight trace of creep, but the trigger is now leagues better. As regards safety, the main concern is a negligent discharge if

    Well, what do you guys think... This is condition number 8 on my FAC... "The .22 rifle and sound moderator and ammunition shall be used for shooting VERMIN and for zeroing on ranges, or land deemed suitable by the chief offiier of police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot." Are foxes legally classed as vermin? The FAC condition gives me permission to shoot vermin, and I have written permission from the land owner. All pukka, or not?? Effortless.

    Hi folks, took out the 22 for a bit of bunny bashing. They were all very shy, but a young dog fox walked up the hedge line to me. I was well hidden with my arse in the hedge, and had time to change from Eley subs to Velocitors. One shot through the engine room and down he went. Got up, staggered a few yards, then went down for good. I've always been a bit nervous about 22 on foxes, but this went straight through him at about yards. Very noisy though. Effortless.

    Highly recommend a trigger kit. Much as I love my CZ, it had an appalling trigger as it came from the factory... horrendous creep and very heavy. However, I do think the factory know about it... they just produce for the litigious American market, and therefore have to make their goods redneck proof!! I started my shooting in prone NSRA target shooting, so was horrified at the general standard of triggers in sporting rifles (especially semi-autos). However, my CZ shoots beautifully now. I say Go For It!!! Effortless

    this is what this rifle is still capable of doing with 4 shots Old Codger, respect. Effortless
