Looking for a .22 ammo box. This kind of thing....

I know I could buy a new one for not a lot of money but there could well be something old and interesting in a drawer somewhere out there looking for a new home. I do like using old stuff like that!

Don't know if these will do or not, if so you can have them for the postage.

Oooooh yes please. One for me and the wife. Just let me know what I owe you.

Postage was £2.95, stick it in a charity box for me please.

You#re a gent. Thank you again.

Pub I'm going to tonight has a box for the Severn Area Rescue Association. I'll stick a fiver in there tonight. One of the few charities I continue to support. I worked in the charity sector myself for nearly ten years and saw first hand the amount of money sucked into 'overheads' in larger charities.

Cheers,

Denis

PS the TZ4 is great although challenging with my eyes. I need a bit more range time fiddling with it before I take it outside to longer distances but I'm getting there.

I suspect that you might get a bit more clarity at the longer ranges. Getting the right rear aperture size for the lighting conditions of the moment is akin to wind reading in skill level.

They are excellent sights.

I've got about 800yds clear across the fields from the house and I've been playing with iris adjustment up to features along the tree line up there. It is better than in our range (a 100yd railway tunnel), I suspect because there is more light outside.

Even if I'm not shooting as well as I was with the glass mounted on a no-drill mount on my No. 4 Mk 1, I was never happy with the look of the rifle with that on there and, for me at least, how it looks is all part of the vintage rifle experience so I will be sticking with it.

Front and rear aperture sights really come into their own when sighting at a black round bull on a white background, sighting on countryside doesn't use them to their best effect.

Fair point. I've been using a tin hat target at the range. Across the field, it's a dark blue pheasant feeder. Not ideal but OK for experimenting with.

I find them a bugger for tin hats unless I have front post sight element.
