Mick - the sticks just a bit of walnut an old tanning mate of mine had under his house - the rifles one of those Sako thingamajigs in 17 Rem sporting a TSE ss barrel. I'm hoping it will be "God's gift" to fox heads with bulging eyes for the 2016 season , assuming there will still be some left next year after the demise of so many pups thus far. :)
