A small 8pt Sika I shoot a couple of Fridays ago. I needed to get the dog out for a stalk in the bush as he hadn't had any work since start of May. So an easy close to the vehicle overnighter was...

Likely nobody will be interested, but I thought I'd type out an update about what happened to this rifle. After 2 or 3 Leith Valley range visits I couldn't make it shoot. So I asked Mr Passmore to...

After crawling around in a ceiling cavity putting in batts and finishing earlier than expected I took the opportunity to duck out for a quick hunt. Left home at 12.30 at the road end a bit after 1...
