Actually I wonder if the rail is a Phil Shoemaker style set up for a rifle mounted flashlight for follow-up in low light? I am pretty sure Phil's rails are mounted into the forend of the rifle, but run parallel to the barrel. Phil's rail is not actually mounted into the barrel itself. Just...

This came up when I was searching something else on youtube. I cringed as soon as I saw the opening image, and unfortunately it went down hill from there. I guess the guy who gave him this rifle to shoot thought it was hilarious, but stupid stunts like that just annoy the hell out of me. I dont...

June is prime sambar deer hunting time. There is plenty of hunting within 2-4 hours of Melbourne. I could take you out, but there are no guarantees of anything and I could only lone you a left bolt rifle. I can suggest a couple of sambar guides, but they may already be booked out over the time...

I always liked the writings of Craig Boddington. In fact as a mostly self taught hunter, a lot of my early information came via Boddington. I would like to hunt with Boddington, though I have to say I find his on camera persona quite annoying.

Have you got a moment to hear the good word of the Nissan's Witnesses?

Whats your definition of "realistic"? A lot of country in NSW and QLD carries good numbers of what you guys call hogs and also feral goats, plus small game like rabbits & foxes. But this tends to be arid land. This land is generally farmed, running cattle or sheep (what you guys would call a...

Just to be pedantic, Deon Optic makes March scopes in house. They are not made in the same factory as Nightforce, etc.

The Fierce is a Sako clone, not an actual Sako OEM. I know a few people that have owned a Fierce and not been happy. Their quality control seems a bit hit and miss.

Yeah, nice. I had a similar thought of using a side by side shotgun as a trainer for a big game double rifle, but havent done anything about it as yet.

No, as a resident, once you are licenced in one state, there is reciprocity for several weeks in most states. The only exceptions as far as I know are Western Australia and very recently the Northern Territory where you are required to apply for a temporary licence to take a firearm, but even...

I have lived in Melbourne my whole life. I cant advise you on immigration requirements, but can definitely give you a few things to consider. As far as financial issues, there is a bit to be aware of. Historically, the AUD is valued closer to the Canadian dollar than the USD. Right now, we get...

Pretty sure mine is the VPR (Christmas tree) reticle in MIL. The click adjustment is the best I have seen on a budget scope, I think the clicks are decently loud.

I picked up the 6-24 version off a prize table last year. I mounted it on my 6 Dasher and have been pretty impressed with it. I think its the best value available for the money. Optics are good- absolutely excellent for the price point. I shot my rifle on a few hot days through our summer and...

Yeah mass production rifles are not really mine either, although I do have a couple of Sakos. But I still need a source of donor actions as a base for my builds. As a left handed shooter in Australia, Zastava actions have been my go to for the last 20 or so years. So the rifles I am talking...

The Ruger is not something I have used, so dont really consider them. I have no real knowledge of their rifles, though they are fairly common over here. There are definitely plenty of push feed options and I own a few different examples, but I would hate to see the CRF actions disappear off the...
