Hi guys just a quick hello I am a professional gamekeeper in the uk Just traded my 686 357mag for a g17 and hope to pick up some tips from the forum on customising it.

Musket

 

thanks for the welcome every one


I carry a rifle/shotgun everyday. as part of the job I am responsible for culling the vermin (fox/rabbit/rat/etc) and the cull of deer on the estate, thankfully I am also allowed handguns

 

As a keeper I rear and release pheasant for driven shooting it is on a private estate covering some 3000 acres I am expected to provide 17, 300 bird days for my employer, rabbits and fox are considered vermin as rabbits are in such large numbers they affect crops and the fox take the pheasants, deer are present in very large numbers and as such are culled I shoot between 140 and 150 deer per year made up of roe,sika and fallow and approx 100 fox as for rabbits probably some where near 1200 per year.

as for my guns I have
