Eddie Jones shows us just what he’s been using kit-wise recently
People often ask me what other gear I use, what do I not show readers and why do I use that? Since I have been writing for Air Gunner magazine I have had the pleasure to try out a lot of kit, including rifles, scopes, clothing and luggage. Much of this gear would normally have been out of my price range, so it has given me the opportunity to compare it with the more affordable items that I use – and this is what I want to show you this month. The rumour is that we writers only give good reviews because we get to keep the gear, but this is not true because most of the items that I get go back to the manufacturer. I would rather send things back and not review it at all if it’s not something I would use myself, so in this month’s feature you will see gear that I would definitely use, and you won’t need to break the bank to get most of it.
YOU CANNAE BEAT IT
We’ll start off with a gun bag from Scott Country. I was on the lookout for a bag that I could use for two rifles because I shoot both sub-12 ft.lbs. and FAC air rifles, and I sometimes take both of them out with me. Much of my shooting is done prone from a small blind, so when I take both rifles with me I can range my distances, and if a shot presents itself further than I would be comfortable taking with the 12 ft.lbs., .177, I will use the FAC .22. This makes carrying the equipment and rifles a bit of a haul but the Cannae Triplex Acies bag gave me an opportunity to find out if I could make it a bit easier. The bag retails for around £130, which is quite expensive for a gun bag, and I wouldn’t have looked at it, but when I actually saw what you get for the money, I wanted to save up for one.
