17hmr is a good vermin control round and will deal with fox but it’s nowhere near the 222. 243 is another big step up. Better to be 100% sure of what each Calibre is is capable of and stick within its limits. Nothing worse than a wounded or poorly despatched animal be it vermin right up to reds.

Making a conscious effort to buy British where possible and when not at least to buy decent quality. Not easy when you start trying to do it as the grip the Chinese have on manufacturing is staggering.

Yeah I’d agree in many respects. 222 will do anything you want in the field. I also do a bit of range work and used to do PR with an Armalon converted 700 in 233 so appreciate the ability to push out a bit further with the heavier 223 bullets that are available.

Not fancy 223 ??. Super versatile round.

👍

Happy to pay the pay for a decent quality tool. The performance and capability is more important to me than price.

Looking at the Stihl range for a general use battery saw, mainly to be used when milling to trim up logs etc, any advice on which model ?? 12” bar would be fine.

A city on the brink? Birmingham facing ‘disaster’ as unemployment hits levels not seen since Eighties APPLE.NEWS Some 33,000 people have lost their jobs in last year with 15 per cent of city’s population now out of work Tip of the iceberg sadly.

That’s my thoughts, looks like they are putting the lips 👄 on.

One day it will be something other than Elm

‘Ugly scenes’ as anti-lockdown protesters hurl bottles and flares at police in central London a week after Sarah Everard vigil APPLE.NEWS Police were filmed retreating back to their vans after being bombarded with bottles and cans... Slightly different reaction compared to a few days ago. Obviously a group of women carrying out a peaceful vigil are a far easier problem to deal with.

Revealed: the truth about the peers who are born to rule APPLE.NEWS Britain’s system of hereditary peerages is outdated and must be abolished, two candidates to be... Whilst I do support many of our sometimes eccentric traditions I’d say the case for reform is strong, at the same time looking across the pond and seeing how they go about things with their equivalents doesn’t exactly bode well.

Monstrously un PC but valid points nonetheless , thankfully within this derided state we still have free speech “ just “

How much acknowledgment and engagement do you require ?? Or is it hand wringing apologies by politicians every other year for historical events that often took place before any of us were even born. Take a look at many of the cultures especially in Africa but not confined too by any means and see what different ethnic groups are capable of doing to each other regardless of colour. We luckily have the privilege to be able to view from afar events that hopefully will never occur here. Thanks in no small part to the culture so many are often keen to deride.

Not really in relation to the topic concerned but a general observation in as much as you seem to hate the UK and everything about it. I’ve yet to hear you say anything good about our nation for months now 🤷♂️. Just curious have you lived, worked or possibly been deployed anywhere around the world ?? In particular Africa or the Middle East ??. I don’t entirely agree 100% with the post Donk put up in it’s entirety but if you’d ever experienced some other countries and cultures then often things are not as bad here as is made out, and yes whilst every European colonial power did it for self enrichment the British did tend to leave a bit of good behind which is what he is implying I think. Not to say bad deeds were not committed as we all know they were,

Yep it was a paradise under Mugabe compared to Smith.

Sitting watching Panorama “ Cashing in on Covid”. Total and utter piss take of the highest order. The total hysteria this generated from day one has been shamelessly exploited to fleece billions from the taxpayer.

Stainless components in its construction and so they can charge more for it 🙄which is often the case.

To hell with the logs eh j, the eye was drawn to the toys in the background 👍😃

That last stick looks a decent one Andy 👍👍keep at it bud he will crack in the end 😀

Took a chance on a piece of elm today, few soft spots in centre but nothing major. last pic is the back Mark I promise it won’t go in firewood pile 👍👍

Look up diver magnets, commonly used by commercial divers inshore and offshore to assist with staying in position on metal structures especially flat bottomed tankers etc. Anything from 50KG to 2000kg if you have the urge.

Maajid Nawaz scrutinises 'dangerous' proposed Policing Bill APPLE.NEWS Priti Patel is conducting a 'power grab' by looking to pass legislation which would largely criminalise... Power and control is addictive 🤷♂️🤷♂️So it seems it’s all well and good to keep using covid as an excuse but as is plain here this is nothing more than wanting to hang onto and create more and more powers.

Ageing British tanks leave soldiers at risk, report warns APPLE.NEWS In a new report, the British Army's efforts to modernise its ageing fleet of armoured vehicles are... Absolute disgrace the amount of cost cutting by successive governments year after year. No one seems to learn the lessons of history.

Great mix of old and new, brought up working horses from an early age in some with hindsight pretty harsh conditions. Hats off to the guy whom trained the pair in the video as getting them to stand that quietly whilst being loaded ain’t as simple as it looks.
