    Wow! I wouldn't want to live in the UK.

    Keith You sure you weren't a New Labour Spin Doctor? :D Suppose it's hard to claim a 'win' if specific examples are knocked back, but your slant on this simply does not reflect the actual circumstance. We could sit down and list a whole traunch of things - from deer seasons to...

    Wow! I wouldn't want to live in the UK.

    Bill & Keith - thank you for the info on Reeses Pieces. I was getting some VERY strange search results - strangely enough many involving intimate parts of primate anatomy :) I am very grateful to you both for the info - Bill in particular - placed an order with the Expat supply place in...

    Wow! I wouldn't want to live in the UK.

    Hello Been off line for a while so just picked up on this. You guys must be talking about England.... luckily I live in Scotland :D Be assured - that was humour! Beauty of this forum and indeed the Country being 'maligned' is that all parties are free to a. express their opinion...

    Safe Backdrop

    Given I'm UK based, kinda out of the loop on handgun matters! The card board option is not likely to work. If your room can handle it, large container of sand - perhaps with a steel plate in the bottom as belt and braces - and make sure you squeeze with weapon pointing straight down - or...

    Hurt deer

    Thought the UK perspective ( oh no not again I hear you cry ) may be of interest. Item one - our police are not routinely armed, so very unlikely any RTA etc would be attended by an armed officer. Most of our armed response units went through a phase of trying to deal with injured animals...

    My First Student Info Request ( for the year ! :)

    Melissa Good luck and best wishes with your project. Facts are very useful in persuasive argument, but equally so is genuine passion/ conviction. You say you ( paraphrased ) 'strongly believe in the issue'. By all means look up supporting facts, but don't over-look some 'quality time'...

    Ruger 10/22 trigger & bits

    Tom Will give CTD a look. Picking up a few comments about Hogue being 'sticky'. I have two dogs - who shed for England! Could end up with a Mohair effect rifle Would the rubber respond to something like 'Dash Shine' - the stuff you buff up car dash boards with etc?

    Ruger 10/22 trigger & bits

    Labgrade/ khsw Thank you for the comments guys. Does sound like I dropped lucky with the trigger. Haven't specifically tested it, but estimate tripping at circa 3 1/2 lbs. There is some over travel if I think about it - but thats lost in the clack of the action cycling. Hard to pin...

    A-Bolt II M-1000 Eclipse with BOSS

    Jaywalker My Browning - European, has a er well 'European' style stock - ie semi pistol grip etc - so have to leave to Nester et al to describe. Mine handles like a wand. Recoil - Boss eliminates so much that may be hard pressed to fully analyse the element affected by the thumb-hole...

    A-Bolt II M-1000 Eclipse with BOSS

    Hello, Just on THO - after previous stint on TFL. Folks from there may recall I am a Browning A bolt nut. I have a 30-06 A bolt 2 European with Boss - nothing would induce me to part with it. I think the Browning is beautifully designed and manufactured. Boss does everything it says...

    Ruger 10/22 trigger & bits

    Hello, It is me - Oakleaf - as per TFL. Can't really explain why it took me so long to find my way here, but very nice to see the familiar format and some 'old' names. Still getting into swing of things, so my apologies to the Moderator if I'm covering a subject previously dealt with or...
