    Hi Deeks.
    Get yourself a good nice rifle, something your keep :)
    Tikka, Sako, I'd even include a CZ 550 in that.
    Half decent scope but not top range stuff. I have a Bushnell 4200 elite 6-24x50 (got second hand).
    Start asking farmers now for stalking permissions. Something that boarders forests that are known to hold deer.
    Try to get out with someone that stalks now if you can, only 4 weeks left now.
    You can get all the gear you'll need over the summer.

    Read this guide http://www.bestpracticeguides.org.uk/
    and also send off for the loose leaf book for £15 to have for the HCap if your taking it. You can download the guide, chapter by chapter, but the book is best.

    I was originally thinking of a CZ550 or the new CZ557 but I don't know if they are available here yet. Then I was talking to a dealer and he said that he is finding it hard to sell them as they are so heavy. Was then considering a Sako A7.

    My boss is getting out of deer hunting. He hasn't got the time but he's willing to sell all his things. Knives, clothes etc and he has a steyr .270
    I can ask how much if you want. He'll do a deal for the lot but I'd say it's be pricey

    Thanks lad but I have a few guns that I want to trade in and I was looking for .243, might be interested in the butchering gear he has though.

    Already asked him about the knives and camo gear and he wants em all to go in one sale.
    Fcuked if I'm getting a .270. :)
    But he has a .22 magnum I may take off him though :)
    Also has a pump action but wouldn't be my thing
