Head shots have always been a contentious subject, I prefer to place the shot as instructed by dsc, If I cant get that safely, I walk away, there's always another day,, for myself and the quarry. I'm not an advocate of long range shots at deer either, it's called "stalking" for a reason. paper or hardox is another matter. nothing suffers if you miss, while dialing in.

Ignore the great white hunter types Oldfeller a good chest shot is exactly what you are after, well according to most knowledgeable people. Leave the ear shots to others.

Rifles you regret selling !! I guess most on here will have sold something then regretted it later. For me it was a Sako TRG 41 many years ago when 338 Lapua Magnum was a relatively new round. Bought it through a pal in Finland as a personal import. Super cheap at the time as the pound was strong against the Finnish mark, especially compared to GMKs price for one. Ammo was £56 for 20 back then. Sadly no pics but came across the paperwork whilst clearing out some crap recently. I often wonder if it’s out there still annoying the people on adjacent lanes as the muzzle blast was pretty fierce to say the least.

Thanks for that, I have a few of those, but my old lorry has unfortunately long gone. that's a Austin k2 I believe, I had a Bedford J type 4x4 , should have kept it really, regret it now. there's some real beauties there.

Fill ya boots Oldfeller.

Probably because they're trade only, give them a call. Might be an option for buying your tyres too

I know nothing of shooting or deer, but hopefully that doesn't disqualify me from holding an opinion on this thread. She does obviously have two glaring impediments, but as well as the aggression she does seem to have a sharp legal mind. There's videos of her running rings around RFK for instance. (Not that it takes much to dumbfound an Anti-Vaxxer. MAHA!)

Because you can buy the skeleton key for £20.00 not found one yet I can’t open

Someone’s boasting on the internet again about their shooting 🤷‍♂️

Yeah. I like the look of the Milwaukee one but Stihl do an angled head which the most artful gypsy sticker I know swears by.

Website says to log in to see price. Crying out loud. It's a tyre machine, not a coach built car.

A long reach pole pruner would be your friend on that I think. Expect to be called back every couple of years.

Probably pissardii because the book says that's a common British Isles variant. There's a nigra and probably some others but if you hear hooves, it's probably horses. And yes, doesn't it look perfectly horrible to work on. Client wants it more shapely and it's getting towards the house, casting shadow and stuff on driveway. The stuff I read made me think it would take an amenity style drop crotch prune (as opposed to any weirder, fruit-specific strategy) without going off its tits with end regrowth and the guy isn't demanding strong butchery. I can see me spending a whole day dicing with death on sketchy ladder setups to do it nicely though. No tie in point, whole inside of the tree like the chokey from Matilda. I also wasn't desperately polite to his neighbour, whose driveway I'll need to be in for some of it. That was a shrewd move. I'd like to picker or crane dangle for it but too much faff (steep driveways and blocking pavement and/or driveways seems excessive). Freelance climbers in the North East with big tripod/A-frame ladders and leather welding sleeves get in touch please.

What about one of these, seen one being used. Designed for the kind of size wheels you're talking about, from 4" to 13" I think. TC811B Redwing Pneumatic/Manual Tyre Changer WWW.REDSTONEUK.COM The TC811B is also a new design of an existing concept. With previously manufactured machines, the height below the bead breaker is... Don't know price mind you.

Shouldn't be shooting, full F stop! It's a heart shot not chest shot! 2" low and you will have a runner that will go a long distance 2" to the rear the same! 2"....2" how far away are you shooting? Or you miss way over the top! Now lets talk about reds, a bit different to roe, or muntjac (never shot one but hold on!), etc. Big heads small heads? So does the 2" work for them? How about a big red stag on the rut? This time of year we had the full Jurassic park with the stags roaring at the top of their lungs telling the young guns to keep away and calling in the hinds. I've hit them square through the heart and seen them drop like a stone. Get up minutes later and walk towards them and they can get up and run 00's of metres... average dog 😆 gi yersel peace ya whallaper! Yeah why did you even try? Get a room you guys. You wouldn't know a fact if it walked up to you and shook hands and introduced itself. Waddaya want, pics of dead deer? See above. Like I said, over the years 2 headshots on deer, the other xxx were heart, a few (4 iirc) runners, non lost. It's not prowess it's cutting out the variables, hand loads, range time, range finders, sound mods, high seats, hours watching deer, knowledge of the ground, weather watching, ballistics, follow through, trigger sear, parallax error, etc etc "Gunshot wound, ballistic and medical experts on an arb forum. Who would have thought it. Not one of which I’d imagine has ever had the chance to hear the buzz or crack of a bullet pass by at close range." You're the one that started the whole thing and when confronted with a different opinion you go back to abuse and diversion, just try and understand that there may be an opinion different from yours. I've heard bullets pass by and even land close by, but you don't seem to want to admit that you could be wrong.

How secure is the yard? As in is their someone on site at night etc. and cameras, alarms, security fences etc.? If it’s just a container in a remote location I’d be extremely worried. Containers aren’t particularly secure to professional scum who have gas axes etc.

Seems like the knives are out already:

The police didn't even bother to call the poor bloke back, let alone send an officer out.

Spot the errors.

Bastard immigrants will have nicked it, obviously.

A sad and shameful story reflecting Broken Britain. Why on earth do immigrants want to come to this shit hole? We're less civilised than where they've come from in some ways. Man on 'dream' round-the-world trip has bike stolen while travelling in the UK WWW.BBC.CO.UK Yogesh Alekari was 15,000 miles into his challenge when his motorbike was stolen in Nottingham.

Yeah , its one of my dreams for when I get too old to lift stuff, that'll probably never happen. Bought a loader instead.

... and like all rules, there are exceptions.... We've got topped limes in the churchyard which have dropped bits, but yes I guess once they get to a certain size they do knit in.

My 2p is whatever security you're thinking of, get on and do it. Had one trailer nicked while the security wheel lock was on order, that's particularly galling. I wouldn't keep a chipper outside, you need to avoid making things a target and not visible is the first step.
