Can you guys test how the Bergara BA13 groups when the barrel is hot ?
Well done lads. The Deer cast graphics looks great on the fleece. Could be worth selling 😂😂
@@markproudlock8096 have we got a customer? 😂
Hello. Looks a nice neat moderator. What's the price and thread options?.
@@kris308100 for the UTS they range from £435 to £580. The featherweights are slightly less. The thread options are listed on the Cluny Country Sports website but include all the usual contenders (18x1, 14x1, 1/2x28, 15x1, 17x1, 1/2x20 etc.).
More bergara ba13 😊
Please can you compare the 232 to your smaller one in the merkel? I have a 149 and want to know if it’s worth the money for the upgrade in sound reduction.
@@jackstraughan2652 sure!
@@TheDeercastapologies, my iPhone ruined the comment with autocorrect, ha! I meant to say, would it be possible to review sound suppression between your old model on the merkel and this new 231!

Total garbage the F&D mods. They melt inside very quickly. The “titanium” part so small there is more meat on a butchers pencil. The customer support…non existent.
I have f&d mod on a .308 the baffles are getting eroded/gas cùt away very quickly I'm very disappointed
Got to admit, that hasn’t been our experience at all! We’ll keep you posted on our long term review though. Cluny Country Sports are the UK importer and were very communicative with us.
Not tried the F&D so won’t comment, but I do like the Hausken, ultra light and good sound reduction.
@@TheDeercastCheck out a few forums, you will find out they ain't great with pics to boot 😂
@@jamescorfield4075 how old is the moderator? We have a 149 that’s been fitted to a 308 for a few years and it’s good as new and gets a lot of work…
I've just bought a 196 and I really like it .
Btw can't understand why you guys haven't more subscribers maybe you need to have a look at your settings or something. It's a really good Chanel imo .
@@MrScalesie thank you for the feedback!
its amazing . Are all groups thumbnail now ? can you expand on the accuracy /precision profile of the ba 13?
@@conorburke1550 in this test we only used two different types of ammunition - the Fox 130gr and the Yew Tree 112.5gr. Both are thumbnail.

Gathering info on starter reloading kits, and Im going to go with this kit. Cheers mate!
How many rounds have you had to put through it to tighten your groups and what was your cleaning procedure?. Just for my reference.
@@kris308100 Harry might have put 75 rounds through it. Prior to this test Harry hadn’t cleaned the rifle!
@@TheDeercast ok many thanks. If you shoot 10, then clean, shoot 10 then clean.... keep doing this you may find you get to where you want to be quicker. All barrels are different. Some thumbhole out of the box, others can take some work.
@@kris308100 thank you! Very helpful!
Try Alan Rhone Ltd for a suitable rail. They are excellent and can advise.
Congratulations on finding the load and the bullet for your gun. I wanted to test the fox hunter classic, but they dont sell them in Norway i think. What do you think about the Barnes tipped TSX 130 gr or 110 gr whit the Bergara BA13?
@@user-ov7zr6fu3x in our experience the heavier bullets work best. 130gr might work, but 150gr will likely be better.

Thanks guys. Interesting vid
Great video, been using my Crest since they were released in the Uk, but the steel barrel model.- are you warming to the 6.5cm now?
@@firstglass1 all of the rifles we tested were 6.5C so we certainly spent a lot of time with the calibre! Not sure either of us will be swapping to it just yet though!

Hi Tom, enjoyed this and the PT 1 too. Paul has been bugging me to do my DSC2 as in a similar situation as you were....but a bit less of my stuff going to Dealers so still undecided. Quick question if I can, saw you use an auto lift now? I've got some Thule roof bars on my Vitara. How do you attach the Napier to your roof bars? Thanks.

Hello lads, and thank you for these videos :) I understand your logic and thinking about the neck sizing, but it seems that the bottom of the case does slowly grow from each firing, and thus neck sizing only can over time produce problems. Eric Cortina , an elite precision shooter, explains it here: czcams.com/video/lLG2kSrD40g/video.html and also shows you an alternative to neck sizing, here: czcams.com/video/htvk1UYOXm8/video.html
Kipplauf fail? Really?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 nice one Paul!
30.06?
That is great insight into DSC2. Many thanks
One topic subtly missed was the questions: - should there be one cse standard that is approved and accepted across the industry? - do you think by having various cse titles and designs by training providers "dirties the waters" of the training standard and creates confusion? - why has this not been dealt with? Interesting discussion though. The problem is that there are too many "individuals" in the industry looking out for themselves and not looking at the TEAM benefit. Another question: - what is the course of action when the landowner refuses to let the deer be shot in an area that is heavily populated and tenant farmers are suffering from deer damage to fences and crops where neighbouring farms also suffer due to the animals wandering through the night causing more damage.
There were no questions missed out deliberately, the topic of conversation was about Level 2. Both Level 1 & 2 are the industry standard and recognised across the industry. Other courses have definitely muddied the water and were undoubtedly provided for financial gain. Whilst there are one or two organisations that 'recognise' them, the industry as a whole does not. The last question really is a discussion for the landowner and the tenant. Perhaps the tenant has certain rights within a tenancy agreement to prevent crop damage? It's certainly an unusual situation.
Regarding the 'stalks' by an approved verifier. Can these be undertaken at the deer park that I manage?. Can multiple 'stalks' be witnessed on the same day?. This was the reason I did not complete my DSC Level 2 years ago as my 'assessor' refused to accept the way I shot my deer as "a valid stalk". Because I shoot from UTV's and occasionally high seats and I head shoot the deer I was told that this was not stalking. He dismissed the level of skill required to do this, insisting that he wished for me to "crawl through undergrowth" to shoot deer qualified as a more skilled approach which defined a stalk. This was in my opinion totally incorrect. Taking deer from a park is even more difficult than in the wild as you are being watched and everything you do is noted. The trust that you are given to do the job is constantly on the line. What are your requirements for a demonstration to qualify?. Also what is the cost now of the witnessed 'stalks'?.
One of the criteria for the Individual Cull Record (ICR), is that you demonstrate the ability to stalk a suitable animal, for which purpose it must be a wild deer. The actual cull can be in a park, from a highseat or off the bonnet of a truck! But, the candidate must demonstrate their ability to approach a wild animal successfully. Deer park culling is very different and can certainly be more challenging, however, the criteria are the criteria. This is why an ICR can be completed in different parts, if you're chosen animal is a park deer or shot from a highseat ie.ambushed not physically stalked, a demonstration of stalking ability could be done separately. Those are the requirements. The cost is whatever the approved witness wants to charge, which is entirely between the stalker and witness.
@@user-de2cd4jp8z Hello, thanks for the reply. With regards to the requirement of the deer being wild. What if the park has 'jump in' points, allowing wild deer to enter the park and to mix with deer already in the park?. There is no way of knowing if the deer taken is wild or has been in the park for some time. How would this work?.
I don’t think a park deer can be used for your assessed stalk as you have to be able to demonstrate being able to stalk into a deer. The cost of the witnessed stalks depends on the accredited witness and how much they charge!
@@TheDeercast The issue here seems to be the definition of stalking. Park deer ARE stalked. You still have to find them and select the correct one to take in a safe manner. How you go about doing that is stalking. If to qualify as a registered stalk this must be done on foot then that can be done in a park. The location of the deer, be it in a park or in the middle of nowhere is immaterial. Also park deer come under the same legislation as "wild" deer. They are all wild, there is no difference.
@@kris308100 the rules are the rules sadly! Head out and do a stalk outside the park and get the job done!
Hey Paul, where's the cap?🧢
Had a look at my records since Jan 44 Muntjac 8 Fallow 1 Red including 1 muntjac squeezed in for DSC2 my time line was sign up AW came over shot a Muntjac put paper work in passed and carried on.
I looked at the BASC register but I only have DSC1 (held for 3 years). I don't get chance to go out and progress towards doing the DSC2. I can't afford to do paid stalks either..
Ave the same scope but wen a tried to return it to zero after getting it set . It ended up shooting 11 cm low . Any idea why
@@kennycampbell9502 did you set the zero stop properly??
Well a think a did . Set me scopes. Loosing the cap off way a coin completely. Turned them bk to zero then screwed it bk on . Is this correct way

Spot on as ever Tom, couldn’t agree more on the benefits of being able to evidence competence and standards. AWs know exactly what they are looking for and have plenty of opportunity to get a feel for the stalker in most single stalks. Was a great learning experience for me and it continues to open doors

Congrats Tom. Can't help but think the shortening of the DSC L1 and L2 courses and assessments is not a step forward. Certainly the L1 is the gateway to deer stalking and the only time anyone will spend time, effort and money to learn what is required. The L2 should be min 2 stalks to show competence. Just my thoughts. Paul@testvalleyvenison
