I've chipped my K80 in against a game gun this morning . I'm left with 3 titanium Chokes . They are unmarked , I've never used a choke key on them . There is 1 x K1 ( improved cylinder or 1/4 ) 1 x K1+ ( .015" restriction or 3/8 ) 1 X K2+ ( .025"...

I’ve wanted a lightweight hard case for a while . This weekend when searching google I found Malmo Guns had some Miroku branded Negrinis in stock . Most Mirokus are just delivered in a cardboard box ( or at least they used to be ) A lot easier to use a case than a sleeve if staying in a hotel...

BASC have informed all members that the government has invited responses to a consultation arising from the licensing fiasco that culminated in the Plymouth shootings . I don’t know what the CPSA response to this is , I’m no longer a member . However for anyone who isn’t aware it’s worth reading...

A Pedretti folding .410 HUSHPOWER by Gunsport. Stock finished with a Pachmayer pad to give a proper 14 3/4 LOP , stock oiled , 26” full length moderator . Very quiet with short subsonic but is chambered for 3” if you need a bit of wallop . Moderator sleeve a bit scruffy , but overall good...

Long story short , 40 years ago I bought a Hilux . I always liked it , it was the Top Gear spec , used it to facilitate renovations on  a big old Yorkshire farmhouse down a track on a hillside . The Last 6 years have been a whirlwind for me  , retired at 60 , widowed , covid , downsized...

Just a quick post to give these guys a bit of praise . My Sordin Pro X  ear defenders had started to go a bit iffy ,  but I’m the first to admit I didn’t look after them . They were out of warranty but a bit of Googling showed the Importer Talking Headsets ,  do a full repair and service for...

Unfortunately it’s not a Perazzi , but it’s pretty  cool anyway .  A Family friend’s husband owned it and she wanted it to go to someone who will appreciate it . It appears to be Brown Bess cut down musket , converted to Percussion from Flintlock , then converted to a sporting gun. Chequered...

A Change is as good as a rest . With my shooting buddy we took rifles down to Calton Moor Range , a 100 miles each way from us but well worth the trip . We hired both of the under ground 100 yard tunnels for 2 hours , and off we went . £60 well spent .  A great facility to see what you can do...

Last Thursday ,  I managed to wallop the end of nearly £400 worth of Hawke scope . There was obvious damage , and I didn’t know if I’d also upset the optics , Shouldn’t have done it , but , put a bang stick in the hands of this ageing Northern Monkey and tears before bedtime are always on the...

Treated myself to a birthday present , and it arrived a week early . One pair light purple ( shot in them this afternoon ) great definition of black targets against green . One pair of yellow for dull conditions , but also photochromic , just the job for the the coming syndicate days as well as...

The gongs were on special offer from Tom’s Targets on eBay , under £4 each , the chain and shackles from Tool Station £20 ( and enough left to do more ) , and the electric fence stakes £1.20 each .  The gongs are Hardox 500 steel  ,  75 mm diameter ( plus ears ) x 10mm thick . They are...

It’s years since I had a rifle , but for this year I’m back in the fold . Yesterday I took out my new acquisition and set up some targets down the field to try different ammunition .    brand one : Eley Subsonic 38gn hollow point  1040 fps brand two: CCI  Subsonic 40 gn segmented hollow...

 No not a new gun , another pair of moleskin breeks . There is so much mud I doubt if the ground will ever dry , because of this my moleskin breeks end up filthy every time I shoot . I decided to invest in another pair ( duty and standby if you will )  ,  I  went back to Spencer Trousers In...

One of the chaps in the syndicate has had the brilliant idea of marking the pegs with electric fence stakes .  They are light,  easy to place , weatherproof and cheap . ( and long enough to drape a coat over as well )  As the ageing person of leisure !  I’ve got the task of assembling the kit...

This is a nice club shoot  , a buddy of mine is running  this event on behalf of the local Beagle Pack . There are no cash prizes on the shoot , but there is normally a pool shoot on. It’s  Sunday shooting just as it should be , good targets , tea , coffee , sandwiches , what more could you want...

On the Jet 2 Manchester to Prague last Thursday morning . 3 person family trip , I’d already pre-warned the lady of our party it could be rowdy with the usual weekend stag parties .In fact it was quieter and more well behaved  than a school exam room !  Perhaps it was the fact that no one was...

Well in this case yes it is . I’m at home as we’ve got some work going on in the house . Earlier today we had a small helicopter buzzing around our little valley outside Halifax .  At 2.15 we heard engines again and said “that sounds close - is it the helicopter ? “  right over head , at low...

I was on the verge of buying a 20 gauge ,  yesterday I had a play with a few , and found a quite attractively priced new Miroku .  The shop proprietor , was a very nice guy , and after I discussed  the fact I’d need some cast on the stock , he advised me that  the warranty would be voided , not...

Now  Sold  via FlyFishing Forum  I bought this jacket on EBay two weeks ago as “New Without Tags - Unworn”.  The condition certainly matches that description , it is immaculate .  Not a sign of wear .  Unfortunately the Jacket is just far  too big for me . I’m 6’ 1” 46” chest 15 1/2 stone and...
