Two Hours Of Cat & Mouse - Fox Vs .17Hornet
Tornado1979 replied to Tornado1979's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
There's only one true Hornet and that's the .17 -
Well yesterday a land owner asked if I could remove a fox from his land, it was becoming a nusianse. I arrived at 20:00 to get set up, I loaded a bait station with fresh rabbits with fox pro inferno in position. I was using my CZ527 .17Hornet with nitesite eagle, I used a bushnell NV spotter and was shooting off my primos trigger sticks my old faithfuls. Anyway I got in position 100yards away and started calling on the fox pro, after 1hr of calling I was thinking of pulling 4x4 down to sit in it was a little cold but bring from Yorkshire so I carried on :-) at this point I scanned behi

A few months after purchasing a Jimny Its now ready for some action!!! I've had a roof mounted lamp with internal T-Bar fitted, rear seats removed and boarded out with plywood, rear windows vinyl wrapped with logo, Insa turbo tyres, snorkel fitted + K&N filter. My friends just made me a gun rest which is brilliant.

Thanks for sharing ??

At the end of the month I'm looking at purchasing a roof mounted lamp (lightforce) with T-Bar. Obviously drilling through roof is a concern, but is more practical in winter months keeping my pinkys warm and rain out + T-bar is also better for solo Lamping. Does the lamp mount have anything to stop the elements coming through the hole? If anyone can share any info it would be appreciated.

Looking at roof mounted lightforce with T-Bar, what's everyone's thoughts with going through roof? Not keen on the suction pads and cold hands in winter lol ?

Hi, First of all please refrain from calling me an idiot from running a patch through my sealed moderator Anyway yesterday I pulled a patch through my Hardy gen 4 sound moderator after noticing excessive, the patch got stuck and didn't make it to the other side, the sound mod is not strippable. I've called riflecraft today and they advised me to run water through to flush it out but this didn't work. I've tried everything including brushes to try and snag the patch, any advise would be greatly appreciated Would using it be safe? would the patch just burn after several rou

Last weekend I went stalking with a friend who asked me if i'd like to take a Roe Buck of his ground, I've been stalking several times on Roe and Muntjac but this was my first stalk on a Buck. We arrived approx 17:00 on a lovely Saturday evening, we started the evening in the high seat, and after 45 minutes the Roe Doe appeared with a Buck following, They we're approx 100 yards away in crops, I could only see head so we waited for them to return to edge line to get a clean shot. After watching for 30 minutes the Doe started making her way back to the woods, the Buck directly be

Primos Tripod Trigger Sticks - Faulty
Tornado1979 posted a topic in Shooting Equipment & Accessories
Friday my Primos Tripod trigger stick stopped working, they we're jamming and the trigger wasn't working, making the stick unusable, after using for a year I've become very attached to them so replacing wasn't an option.Today I stripped them down, and I'm happy to say they're now back in action and like new Thought i'd share the simple steps to take to repair just in case anyone else is having same problem. Step 1 Remove the screw with Alan key wrench from bottom of the trigger handle Step 2 Adjust the bolt, lowering the pin, the pin presses onto top of legs rele -
.17 Hornet Strikes Again
Tornado1979 replied to Tornado1979's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I've not had much experience with .22Hornet, I went for the .17Hornet for the extra range to the .22Hornet it's very similar to the .223, If I had .223 i'd probably go for the .22Hornet.... only difference I noticed from .223 to .17Hornet is the noise, the .17Hornet with decent mod is just as quiet as my HMR very impressed with it. I'm sure someone with experience with them both could advise better, just my opinion -

.17 Hornet Strikes Again
Tornado1979 replied to Tornado1979's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I needed something in between the .22LR and .243. Two bullets got stuck in the barrel of my HMR and I lost all confidence in it so decided to get shut, after some research the .17Hornet or .204 best suited my needs and ended up going for the .17Hornet, very happy with my choice cracking round -
