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 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Cowboys and move stars.

We’ve only ever drilled ab9 mid may and had some hellish big crops, some of our AHL2 is going in after winter barley.

To be fair I can’t knock my Mrs, came to the shooting show with me and I still managed buy two guns😬. Think she just likes me going out shooting though so she gets the tele to herself 😂.

I’ve seen plenty of people replace with just rubber but it will need some spiral rap to stop chafing where it goes through the floor. Those pipes can flex quite a bit every time the steering is moved hence the metal bit.

I’m currently restricted to land that has been passed for my current calibre of rifle/s (which is all my land) so I’m not to worried about that at the moment but it is something I’m going to discuss with the feo at some point. The lad I’m going shooting with has his dsc1 and my brother is...

I think you’ll find there’s been a few changes over the past couple of years. Taken from the gov application website - “You must also “prove” to the chief officer of police that you’re allowed to have a firearms certificate and pose no danger to public safety or to the peace.” This means when...

I think you maybe getting mixed up with shotgun and fac licenses. Shotgun it’s pretty much a right to own one the police have to prove why you don’t need one however fac you have to prove definite need to own one and also why you need that specific calibre and unless you’re on an open ticket you...

I’m looking more at a deer caliber rather than something specifically for long range but thought it would be good to take and put through its paces while I’ve been offered the opportunity. No point investing a fortune in a super long range rifle when the closest range I could use it at is 4...

The lad I’m going to the range with is quite happy to mentor, he’s on an open ticket and being deer stalking for years. He was also one of my references for my ticket so FEO knows him already. To be fair I’m probably better giving my FEO a call and seeing what he recommends.

Can you imagine the mess deer stalking with a 50 cal 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

But what’s the odds on me being allowed something that size? Also have you seen the price of .338 Lapua amo? 😮.

Ok, so I’ve been invited to go and do some long range shooting at Eskdalemuir range in July (range is over a mile, 1750m ish). The lad I’m going with said I can borrow one of his rifles but it also looks like I’ll get some deer stalking later in the year so I’m considering trying to get a...

Had a couple of upgrades since I posted that, using an Alpex and a Pard NV007 now. but they’re in the slightly higher budget bracket.
