Just bought a Pulsar quantum xq50 off a mate how has upgraded, complete game changer when deer stalking on edge of woodland, the big problem is squirrels in most of woodland were we stalk, you can watch them though pulsar but you can't see them without. 

But they don't see though wood.

HIK LC06 seems to be the cheapest at around £350, not spending more for squirrels.

 

It was more for locating & identifying them hidden in the tops of the trees, rifle scope is more than sufficient after that and I can get closer but 20-50 yards is the average.

 

What with the rain and woodland management, encouraging the birds of prey it's probably been a poor year for the squirrels.

 

Just like to think, creating an absence draws then in from further afield and the cycle repeats helping the reds elsewhere.

I had a him micro I forget which one as I sold it as i found it was virtually useless , would not pick up deer in long grass at 100yards to the point my eyes would see them before the spotter scope did so came to the conclusion it was a waste of time and put it on eBay.

Before they go to a dealer anyone interested in a CZ 17hmr varmint synthetic with wildcat moderator and a Howa varmint 243 in a grs stock including a triton 42 moderator. Both in as new mint condition. Prices will be very reasonable. Cutting back to just 223 and 308, they do everything I need them too and more.

I did the first fifteen of my training shots last Wednesday.

 

6.5x55, not shot it since last year but did drop it one day.  Still zero’d thankfully.  So pretty happy with the  practice shots.

 

Back again for the next 15 this Wednesday coming and then do the test with the .223 and 6.5x55.

Do I get a clever dick answer from you as well if I ask what the test is for?

I’d think to demonstrate competency in regards obtaining a humane kill.
