Underdog 2,337 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I used up the last of my Winchester laser's today and they delivered perfectly. I actually feel more satisfied with a 22 when it sounds like something is going on! U. 1 Quote Link to post

Actually the breeze trickled smoke out the breech as I cradled the rifle topping the magazine up and yes the aroma was sweet . These were Winchester's but yes eley prime has its own smell. Over a century ago these little bullets used a mixture of black powder and smokeless! Bet they smelled gggrrreat Edited May 1, 2018 by Underdog 2 Quote Link to post

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Your title is to the point and correct in my opinion Underdog. That is all one has to have, Well I Like Them. If one was to say that my car was crap, I would answer with that maybe true, Bit It Is My Crap. Good post and yes good images All the very best for one and all 1 Quote Link to post
Underdog 2,337 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Nothing much today but out for 5am. Sneaking about for fox but did not see any however bumped into a magpie that busy grubbing it never saw me and after what I saw a magpie do in front of me yesterday it was too much! Yesterday while under some holly's a magpie swooped in (no safe shot). Trickled its way down into an unknown to me pigeon nest, pushes the pigeon off it's nest and pinches an egg. Then the Maggie fly's out to an oak and buries the egg (still no shot)! Then the swine flies to another holly and reappears with a small chick of some kind in its beak and flies off!! Talk about frustrating! Anyway this one this morning was having it! U. 2 Quote Link to post
