    New toy day

    Did you mean to post that in the TAW thread rather than the new toy one? 😂

    New toy day

    It’s a really nice gun, just the right size for ratting especially if you’re shooting free hand. The weight is between your arms and close to the body which helps massively.

    New toy day

    Whole thread on night vision scopes etc for you to brows. I was out last night after a few rats with my pard and my mate was using my Alpex. https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/night-vision-scopes.400348/

    Night Vision Scopes

    Can’t say I’ve found the weight to be an issue but I’ll generally be shooting from a bipod or quad sticks. If you’ve not got some quad sticks they’re a must for out in the field. Take a little bit of getting use to but they’re super stable. I got a used set for 40 quid, worth every penny.

    Night Vision Scopes

    No experience with the Arken but the the Alpex if a top bit of kit, however I acutely use a pard nv007lrf on my hmr as I still prefer a Standard scope for daytime and I can swap the pard between rifles in about 20 seconds. Honestly though I don’t think they make a bad night scope now. When...

    New toy day

    Picked this old Promatic clay trap up the other week from the local clay shooting club. They’ve not used it for a few years so needed a bit of fettling so got it at right money. Got it working spot on now even fitted a foot pedal so can operate it hands free as well. Doesn’t take long to empty...

    Fac Variation and Which large calibre rifle?

    It just happens I was watching Chris Park unboxing one of those on YouTube last night, looks a really nice bit of kit, hell of a warranty on them! That’s going to be my next dilemma, what to get 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

    Fac Variation and Which large calibre rifle?

    Ok so bit the bullet so to speak and put my variation in last night (been busy recently) and as much as I was tempted to to go for a .338 lapua I don’t think I could stomach the amo cost 😂. So, I went for a 6.5 creedmore and asked for an open ticket as well. Let’s see how fast they come back to...

    Night Vision Scopes

    My mates got one, nice bit of kit, picture quality slightly better than my previous model Alpex and some nice additional features.

    Rain today

    It’s not been particularly rosy over here! 400mm this year so far, this dry spell is the first time we’ve had much more than a day without rain since August.

    Your current weather.

    Despite being forecast for once’s it’s actually missed us us in the west. Usually if it’s going to rain it rains here! Should be down to the last 45ac of spring barley by tonight then just 90ac of canary seed to get in. Even look dry over the Welsh mountains. Hope it dries up soon for you...

    New toy day

    Nissan Navara, been saying there’s something wrong with it for ages as kept blocking the dpf and going into limp mode. Apparently it’s low on compression and oils getting into the exhaust system and blocking everything up! Rental (curtesy on Nissan EU) is a Seat Ateca, pretty nippy little thing...

    New toy day

    Picked this up today due to the fact the pickup went in for a service and apparently needs a new engine! Not good @ 60k miles 🤷🏻‍♂️. Thankfully still under warranty but could be there for a few months as there’s 5 more to do before mine 🤦🏻‍♂️.
