  1. The HMR is a bit more preferred before you step up to centre fire, it's the crap argument of it's low ricochet. Yes it's a expensive one trick pony but come renewal they're more forgiving on your 2 or 3 for centre fire and full open ticket as you've earned a bit more experience and trust.
  2. That oak looked like it contained a lot of metal looking at the staining, even cheap Bulgarians draw the line somewhere!. There's agri style and then bubba agri style, think that might have been bubba or atleast his UK cousin.
  3. Would the guilty party be in the background holding his head down in shame 😉
  4. Yeap, i like simple scopes and knowing your holdovers.
  5. An none of this parallax adjustment stuff to get in the way either 🙂.
  6. I've watched plenty of "bloke on the range" for the practical rifle shooting. But for utter shooting skill it's got to be Mark Ripley.
  7. Practical rifle, target shooting.
  8. I've a couple of CZ 455 thumbhole, a bit agricultural but cheap, cheerful and reliable rimfires that can be had in fluted or heavy barrels if you look around. Had been keeping an eye on a 556, maybe a mossberg MVP. But think I'll wait until the thermal scope prices drop a little beforehand.
  9. Either someone's pulling my plank or I need a link 🙂. Don't think I've ever had anything hear the bullet or pellet between pressing the trigger and and it hitting it's mark. What's the point of a single shot AR.
  10. Is that a new name for PCP compressed air?. FAC air is quiet but not silent, bloody good fun and cheap in 22 as it triples your distance compared to legal limit.
  11. Someone's a bit brave using a 308 without a moderator!. I wouldn't even use the 17HMR these days without hushing it a little 🙂.
  12. With a CZ magazine, the metal follower is the only thing you see sticking out the end.
  13. The cartridges are the illegal to own part, the magazine is just a paperweight. So what are you asking, they aren't traceable to a person.
  14. Just looks like an empty Ruger 10/22 magazine, spring carrier showing at the end. As it's empty it's just a part, so pick up and keep.
  15. Jail time comes to mind, illegal to own, buy or sell without the paperwork. Once empty and fired, you can do as you wish
  16. It certainly makes you depressed about the direction of the world. We country folks might chew straw, shovel shite and stand around leaning on gates but we're not doing a wicker man every week, once a month maybe.
  17. Probably in part because they've been raised to believe those elected sorts are some benevolent force for good with only the best intentions and are somehow better than us questioning mortals. Like a fairy godmother or uncle Warbucks. I'm sure that's how people saw good ole Jimmy Saville.
  18. It's all about the clicks baby 😉
  19. That can just mean they will get the manufacturer to send direct or they need to order it etc. Just ring them and ask, just because it's on the website means nothing until you've spoken to a hu man. If the price is right, I'd rather wait a few days than out money into an Asda style warehouse.
  20. It's been long known about the American corn industry and ethanol, just made worse by our increase from 5>10% in petrol. It's similar to anaerobic digestion, great if it's just waste but in reality it's not. If they could turn waste fats and grease into Ethanol with bacteria, similar to brewing that would be a game changer for all the unusable restaurant fat.
  21. Well as a farmer aswell, were pretty similar but more eco pragmatic than loon 🙂. What's the phrase, know you're enemy. I'd never pay the guardian a penny, but that headline popped up in the news summary thing. Reading that headline reinforces my utter bemusement, made even more laughable after last year when they launched an investigation by the environment agency into the eco credentials of HVO. Granted nothing surprises me, same with when they banned garages using SWOB to heat with used oil.
  22. MPs to hear plan to get rural households to run heating on vegetable oil | Energy | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM George Eustice says adapted kerosene boilers can run on ‘hydro-treated vegetable oil’ and cut emissions by 88% And the madness continues.
  23. Well that's what happens when you listen to an uneducated underage messiah, a false prophet if you will.

    Arb Chip

    Without going into great detail, if it's a smallish woodchip boiler say 60kw or less are not designed to work on wet arb chip. It needs to be screened to remove fines and then dried on for example a drying floor. As burning wet invalidates any warranties and will cause issues with the augers etc, if you do receive RHI or similar they won't be happy either.

    Humm, the plot thickens.
