+1. Beautifully made, top quality materials, superb design. Really excellent bags. Lots of room (and pockets, and straps and pouches within pockets) for bipod, rangefinder, pellets, targets, lamp, cleaning materials etc. Well padded. Not cheap, but then wouldn't be this quality if it was. Worth every penny. Here's a link for the one that fits my S510 with mod attached: http://www.tacfiresystems.co.uk/store/rifle-cases/drag-bags/aim-50-drag-bag/

Exactly the same thought had occurred to me, Skot. At 40m, the pellet drop over a meter from a sub-12 .22 is enough to make it worth knowing whether it's 40m or 41m. What I used to use when zeroing and finding aiming points: 50m tape measure from muzzle/mod. What I use now both for this and for hunting: laser finder from eye. But which does ChairGun use?

LMFAO TC They - or somebody like them - did a highlights of the Six Nations, too, on YouTube, which is also great. totally off topic, but still......

You haven't said how much you want to spend. Not much point in suggesting a Light Stream (which I would because they do a very nice first focal plane reticle model) if your budget is more Hawke or MTC, nor if it's more Zeiss or S&B (gulp), for that matter.

The judge lost his balance.

Very clear, looks conclusive, no possible defence. Shouldn't take more than a couple of viewings to adjudicate that one. New captain, please.

Quite - unless we're watching the other code. Some SH refs think as though they're in League.

So far nearly 95,000 have signed the petition to get the appalling changes to the legal aid system debated in the House of Commons. It needs another 5,000 or so. Every voice counts, and it's not too late to add yours. Do sign it, and not by any means just for the sake of those involved in shooting. The proposals would impact on not only on those who shoot, but on just about the whole of the British criminal justice system. They would be grossly unfair on all those falsely accused (and yes, it does happen far more often than many like to believe) of almost any crime. They run counter to the bas

Thanks. I appreciate the suggestion, but I'd only then have to shoot them anyway (it being illegal to release trapped greys into the wild, of course). The combination of both a very visible static trap and the gun in the garden would probably create worse problems than a simple, quiet, shot from inside the house. Shooting over bait is the best way (as previously demonstrated!). The moment has to be very carefully chosen, though.

We have an example of this two gardens down from us: white, dead wood showing all over a large, mature lime. I'll try to get a photo when the light's right, although it may not show sufficiently well in a snap. The drey to whose occupants I attended a couple of years ago, and which is only 30 yards or so from the lime, was re-occupied this breeding season. Over the winter, almost every thin twig, and certainly all the new ones, were stripped. The previous owners used to take their own anti-squirrel action when they had little visitors and as a result their tree was pretty much untouched (a

The smaller Lightstream is very good (4.5-14x44. The bigger one's SFP, I think.) but pricey unless you can find a good one secondhand, which is not that easy. And before you think it, I'm keeping mine!

What he says. Wouldn't give sfp a second glance now.

They predate small birds, too. A couple of years ago my son and I watched a grey squirrel catch and kill an adult sparrow. It was shortly after it had fledged its young and in a hedge a couple of yards from our back door, so we had a completely clear view of the hunt and the kill. It went in, came out with the bird in its mouth, alive, then killed it within a couple of feet of us. We've not had sparrows there since. A few months later, it also discovered, in the fruit cage at the bottom of the garden, a taste for raspberries. At this point it discovered how accurate my S510 is at 25m and w
