  1. Do not doubt his heart, any man that steps into a ring or cage has my respect. Toney is a shot fighter but it will only take one punch to turn that fight on its head, Mercer dd it against Sylvia. Lesnar is a great wrestler, awesome g&p and a genetic freak but he should not be beating the best MMA has to offer. Its like great squash player winning at Wimbledon, should not be happening. Regardless of his loss to Werdum i think Fedor would destroy Lesnar, Overreem too. Shame they are not in the UFC
  2. I understand what gnasher is saying, yes Brock is a awesome athlete but you should not be top of the tree in such short order regardless. He beat Randy another awesome athlete but a smaller man, he could not have beat any Heavyweight boxing champ in that time frame though, even Tyson came up through the ranks. It does make a joke of MMA and i am a fan.
  3. Had my CZ 2 years, probably fired 10,000 rounds, never cleaned the barrel yet.
  4. The rifle bare only weighs 8 1/2lb according to the specs, i think you might be better off getting 6 inches lopped off the barrel to improve the balance, i know the sps Tacticals have a 20" tube. What stock have you put on the rifle? When i was a kid i used to tramp for hours carrying a HW80 (weighed a ton), all shots were free standing and i never complained, know i am just a moaning old fart!!
  5. Going through the same thing myself with my 308 Howa, i bought the stainless varmint with laminate stock weighs around 10lb, cracking rifle for the rang but heavy for lugging about stalking. I have since put a stock on from Edi at PSE Composites and i am going to get the barrel chopped, the rifle then will be around 8lb bare, easily manageable especially with a niggeloh backpack sling, if you like it keep it.
  6. SOLDI have a Howa short action varmint barrel laminate stock for sale, excellent condition. Stock only £90 posted
  7. Do not know if you have seen them but these are good books, i have them all http://www.allotment.org.uk/book/ good website too for us landownwers
  8. Get a Burris Fullfield with ballistic plex off ebay from the states, cracking scopes and a great reticle. As for the Howas, well made, very accurate, heavy though. Love mine!!
  9. This might be worth a look http://www.ccc3.org.uk/?page=home
  10. I had a MTC Mamba 4/16x50, it was ok, big, heavy and iffy on higher mag. Sold it and bought a Fullfield 11 from the States (ebay) absolutely cracking scope, miles better.
  11. Same as this one? http://www.ibstocktackle.co.uk/hogan-firearms---decimeater-air-rifle-moderator-1276-p.asp
  12. Rabbits under 75 yards .22 rimfire, over 75 yards .17 HMR. Fox take your pick but make it a centrefire, .22 Hornet, .222, .223 etc
  13. 35 quid it tells you in the ad above
  14. Would not mind taking the pigskin bus to tuna town with her either
  15. He was the nutter who had photos of muzzled matches in his mag? Appeared in one of Ed Reids old videos and wrote some articles for Bull Terrier Times.
  16. Its in the Countrymans weekly, 82 quid.
  17. I shoot a Howa 308 without a mod or muzzle break, it has a MTc Mamba on it and is fine. The recoil is not that bad, you do lose sight picture but thats to be expected. Make sure you get decent rings and bases and your scope will be ok, i use Burris Zee rings and Leupold bases. regards
  18. I own a Howa 308 varmint s/s laminate, cracking piece of kit. They make guns for Weatherby not Remington, the Howa is a lot better than a similarly priced Remmy imo. Very accurate well made rifle, heavy though. Picked mine over a Tikka because the Tikka feels a bit flimsy and toylike to me.
  19. Both by Plummer , a tenner each including post Cheers
  20. This might help http://www.burrisoptics.com/mountchart1.html I have a set of high Burris Zee Rings on my Howa with a 4/16x50 mamba, only a couple of mil clearance.
  21. I used to walk a young bull terrier on a disused rail track, straight and see for miles. A horsey type old bag let her standard poodle run about 200 hundred yards and set about the pup, she did f**k all my dog was on the lead and thought it was great but did not really know what to do thankfully. A month or two later she lets it run over and knock me off the bike as i am excersing the dog, same carry on. Final time the dog is grown and knows whats what and would destroy her daft poodle, i see her about 200 yards away and start shouting to put her dog on the leash, she takes no notice of course
  22. Very good article in support of more athletic Staffords though, f**k what the RSPCA says anyway.
  23. I have had 2 english bulls and you could not pay me to feed another, the most stubborn, ignorant useless dogs i have ever known. One of them came from a lad that was trying to breed gameness into them and had very limited success before giving up and keeping pits. Another local dogman that had some famous dogs back in the 80s packed in with pit bulls and kept ebts and miniature ebts, he reckoned the miniatures were a lot more fiery (still useless though). It may well be a different story in other countries but there are better breeds for everything you may want a dog for here.
  24. Paid about £25v on Ebay for mine, charity is still on British Blades and might be able to get one for you. The blade is 440c, takes a really good edge.
