Re: pear are falling.

You done well carrying 12 back in a oner. I threaded 7 along my shooting sticks a little while back and had to keep changing hands every hundred yards or so..! Each rabbit can be up to 4lbs so you could have been carrying a full sack of spuds back to the car..! Well done, a good bag there.

s400 with home built NV unit

Hi All,

Just thought I'd show you my superb .177 s400 carbine with a thumbhole stock and Leapers scope with home built NV unit. It's a great snug fit and deadly accurate.

Re: see it?

I must have a weird woman because she was as stumped as me for nearly a week..!! We got there in the end though.... I was onto it after just a few days but got the scale all wrong so dismissed it as another collection of rocks. That's definately brown fur down the bottom right corner, a fox or some ...
