Thank you. Richard

After years if worsening dental problems my dentist is suggesting dental implants. He must think I'm made of money. But, apart from the cost, has anyone had any experience of these? It looks like I will be losing my teeth one after the other, so I'd like to know what the alternatives are...

I do like the beer barrel as a target holder. The photos of the funnel show pretty much what happened to mine. I got some plastic blanking plugs from eBay ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144153089761?var=443455772206 ) and put one in the now open end of the post hole. I put a 3mm bolt through...

I am just about to go off for a week's holiday, but when I come back I will be listing exactly that scope for sale, practically unused. It was just too big for the carbine I had it on.

I have had one for 2 years, a Husqvarna. It does a great job. I went to a reputable local dealer who did a site visit and recommended what I needed. He also installed it. I have had no problems and it relieves me of the tedium of cutting a big bit of grass when I have better things to do...

I've bought two guns there and had servicing work done. They are very helpful, and reliable. Good place to go.
