  1. John i think all your vids are great and show all the real situations that people can be faced with, but i must say its just a shame about the accent How much powder to you squeeze into the 7mm rem mag case?
  2. The stuff you need to try is fogtech. This happened to me several times and i assume it was caused by the scope lying across my back during freezing conditions.
  3. About time too dave. I have had many nights where i have lamped on foot for 5/6 miles then looked in the last field where the car is parked and then shot a fox. It has also worked the other way round where i shoot a fox in the first field then see nothing else all night.
  4. Yes they will but crows need a bit more stopping so shoot them closer. I use danarms 7.5s @ £37/ 250 and work excellent on ferals that i have been shooting.
  5. You seem to be having great fun john I will need to see these hunting grounds of yours when i am across next year.
  6. Do a search on guntrader for guns in your price bracket as there are loads on offer. Rizzini, lanber, baikel, lincoln. There is a decent looking rizzini.E for £325 which would be an ideal starter gun.
  7. Another great write up john:thumbs: The big puff of WD40 really is a pain but i found by using the dyson to hoover out the T8 before leaving home really helped to reduce it.
  8. 1/4 AND 1/2 would pretty much cover the bases if using plastic wads or 1/2 and 3/4 if using fibre. The most important thing is to use a cartridge that patterns the way you want it to in your gun.
  9. Not sure whether thats him or its another brother out of the same litter. I'll get Amy to find out the dog i rang Amy about has been rehomed now to a police dog handler it was red with white feet a real stunner pity i didnt have room or it would have been back with me A stunner was an understatement
  10. Here is a first cross whippet x jack russel. He is just a pet but would make a cracking rabbiting dog . He stands 19-20".
  11. Try joe @ http://www.gunshop-eb.co.uk/Magazines.htm
  12. I went with the DPS 3 because the chargemaster was about £130 more and suits me just fine,it cost me £265 at the beginning of this year.
  13. i would say you shouldnt need any tighter than 1/4 & 1/2
  14. nice going and that looks like some fantastic ground you are shooting over. It does look really "foxy".
  15. Now that is a cracking nights shooting
  16. I use 65gr vmax over 41.7gr N140 giving MV of 3390 fps and 1659 ft/lbs from a 20" barrel. From a 100yrd zero the bullet drops around 7.5" @ 300yds and retains a MV of 2387fps and 822 ft/lbs. A 70gr nosler over 43 gr N140 gave 3500 fps and 1904 ft/lbs with a drop of 7" @ 300 yds from a 100yrd zero and retains 2536 fps 1000 ft/lbs . Both these loads are far superior to federal 55gr 223 ammo. From federal website MV of 3240 fps with 1282 ft/lbs dropping 11" @ 300yds from a 100yd zero and retains 2212 fps and only 597 ft/lbs. I havnt shot anything with the noslers but the v-max is fa
  17. federal v-shok were by far the best and the 40, 50 and 55gr had the same POI.
  18. i think this is what you want. http://www.cluson.co.uk/productsMain.aspx?CI_ID=179 I will be selling my lithium pack soon when they bring out the 14ah one. Also borders gunroom in st boswells have the cigar plug/jack socket in stock
  19. federal make the 40gr vmax @ 4150fps http://www.hornady.com/store/22-250-Rem-40-gr-V-MAX/ i have used these for foxs/rabbits and are a great cartridge.
  20. I clean mine nearly every time i use the rifle, even if i have fired only 2 or 3 shots. It only takes 10 mins when you keep on top of it. I also dont clean the .22lr.
  21. I totally agree with you there watchman i dont even think about going out with the dog when the moons up.
  22. shot at distance no doubt,think you would have trouble getting them in close when they can obviously see you They were all shot at around 120 yds so quite close. It doesnt matter if the moon is high or not when you are shining a bright lamp in their face, they will either come in or they wont.
  23. I go out when the moon is up, infact my best night of 6 foxs was shot when the moon was up. When it is really frosty and the moon is up, now that is a horrible night. It is -4 tonight and the moon is shining bright and i am still off for a look round.
  24. my local RFD has a few tubs and has had it for 8 weeks or so.
