Funny you should say that. I've been following a thread on the 7 mm Rem mag on another forum and I want one now. Don't need one.. but on paper it looks a bit of a cracker. It would go well with the .308 and the .243 Bit much for rabbits but when this global warming thing that everyone keeps on about gets going properly and we've got wildebeest in Dorset it'll be ideal. Best to be prepared.
My dad had a 243 ( or maybe 7 ) for deer many years ago when everyone still swore by the 303 !!! Winchester iirc WTF,, see the bloody knife hanging from his belt, jeeez,, what sort of people are they ??
.270 maybe. Still a popular deer round. I prefer a .308 which superseded the old .303 British. The lad in the video has quite a flinch going on there. He's lifting his head. This vid is quite funny. A load of people (who mostly have no idea what they're doing) having a bang on a .700 Nitro Express. Its about the biggest civilian chambering you can get. An old-school elephant and big game cartridge though developed in the 1980's to satisfy someone's bragging rights. There are many far more usable options available but this is a crowd pleaser as long as someone else is shooting the bloody thing. Its a low pressure case which means the recoil is a huge long shove rather than a short, sharp stinging punch but its still a hell of a shove which can break bones. It has ten times the recoil of a .308 Winchester. 700 nitros were intended as double barrel rifles for short range use. These are heavy which soaks up some of the recoil. The rifle in the vid is a single and fairly short barrel with no muzzle brake. The result is horrendous muzzle flip. Don't try this at home..

Not all CZ's were shite-the enduro and moto cross bikes were absolute weapons Saw a CZ enduro on the stand at the NEC way back,said to the dude right mate how much I've got my cheque book here with me. He said if I was allowed to sell them you'd be too late,I was about the 250th person to ask that day... Even the road bikes had their plus points' One evening in my London despatching days there was a lad pushing a CZ up the A1 near Hatfield,I stopped then another couple of lads. CZ rider was an RAF bloke going home on leave,between us we had it apart,sorted,AND fitted a new crankcase seal while we at it... on the hard shoulder in an hour and a half,(and that included lolling about on the grass laughing!).The old Ceezer only needed very basic tools,plain screwdriver etc,to prise it open,and not much skill either,luckily. RAF boy was well chuffed. This one... Not this one...
Anyone who goes deer stalking will be carrying a knife because you've got to gralloch the carcase in the field. Doesn't have to be a big one though, 4" blade minimum. Most don't film themselves shooting at rocks beforehand though.
One of the greatest,Joel Robert.No goggles,no armour,virtually no crowd protection..(and virtually no air in the back tyre LOL!) 6 time World Champion,(3 times on the CZ) and notorious for his lack of willingness to train and constant cigarette smoking
Still do. Rabbits mostly. I've got 1500 acres to control single-handed. A mate has the stalking rights after I put his name forward to the landowner. Occasionally I help him out by taking clients out but I not keen on that because they're often pretty hopeless. One of his clients I took out once shoot the snout off a Roe buck, and he was aiming at the base of the neck. He missed by about 18" from 50 yards. It put me off paying clients. I thin out a few yearlings for him and fill my freezer at the same time.
remember one day on the black mount estate in scotland the plonker son of some bankster from england took 6 shots to finish off a dear,, fukin horrible, ( my father was not the stalker :flushed: ),i stopped doin it soon after that , would only ever shoot even a rabbit nowadays if i was real hungry,, wild life / animals have it hard enough nowadays without folk shootin them for fun, remember another day, on my fathers estate at the time, had some fkn ladayda army clown out,, nice sized stag , standing on small knowl, perfect target,, well Cyrill lets off the first shot,, seen it go into the turff well over the top,, second one well short , third one well to the rear,, so captain cyrill turns to my dad and asks, why is it still standing still,, prob realises with you shootin it is the best thing to do says my dad !!
There are some twats out there who shouldn't be allowed near guns. I tagged along when another mate took out a very well known shooting journalist (who is also and former army officer) to shoot a couple of does. He wanted some meat and my mate the stalker was due to cull a few females on that ground anyway. We found him a group of four in the bottom of a shallow dip in a grassy field and told him which ones to shoot. I pinged the distance with a range finder. From where the stalker and I were standing it was 120 yards. The shooter was closer and using the finder I estimated his shot was about 96 yards, so no distance at all. He was shooting slightly downwards in longish grass. He had a choice of postures. he could have shot kneeling, prone if he kept up on his elbows, or sitting. It should have been a doddle. He had all the time in the world and conditions were perfect. He faffed and fidgeted, got tangled up with his sticks then eventually decided to take the shot sitting but he didn't look comfortable. Two animals were standing side on, perfectly presented. He took a shot at one of them and smashed a front leg. It dropped to ground and lay thrashing so he tried a follow up shot to finish it off which went through the throat without killing it. By this time the stalker had decided enough was enough and we were walking forward to take over and tell him to stop shooting. For some reason the others hadn't bolted and unbelievably, with one animal down and injured and something clearly wrong either with his shooting, his rifle or his scope, he swung onto another and did exactly the same thing again. He broke its leg and then ripped a second bullet through the brisket without killing it. It was threshing on the ground and screaming. The stalker was livid. He took the rifle off him and if he didn't have two injured animals to deal with I'm sure he would have punched him. The stalker dispatched the two animals humanely but we made the shooter do the gralloching, and I had to finish that because he was making such a mess of it. My mate really tore him off a strip all the way home. Told him he was a disgrace to shooting, a journalists who publishes article on shooting telling other people how it should be done and yet he couldn't hit a barn door and showed no respect to the animals. Told him he was a cunt and not fit to hold a license. He's had nothing to do with him since and he doesn't like taking clients out anymore either unless he knows they're fully competent. There are too many people with guns who shoot live quarry purely for giggles because they have the money. They have no interest in population control and healthy species management, they don't understand it and they aren't skilled enough to shoot live quarry humanely. They just want to have a bang at something. They should stick to letting off steam under supervision on clay shooting grounds and plinking ranges and leave wildlife management to people with the sympathy and the skills to do it properly.
You will have noticed that the threads digress into mayhem somewhat and you never know what response to expect...queue the flak....lol
