Ive read the "Secrets" book cover-to-cover, but havent done the course. I used to read his articles in Guns And Game magazine which I used to write for occasionally as well. I would but the "Secrets" magazine when it was in print, but it depended what was in it.

Another photo of my 9.3x64 - because I like the picture, and you cant get enough photos of nice rifles can you?

My 9.3x64 is made off a Zastava M70 action. It used a 30-06 bolt face that was opened up to suit the case head and feeds 4 rounds from the original 30-06 magazine no problem. The 9.3x64 is a great cartridge. I love mine. I pretty much just load it with the 320gn Woodleigh RNSP bullet and it has...

This type of question is always like "who is the hottest woman". You are going to get a lot of answers and there is a lot of subjectivity involved. There are a lot of places in Africa that I have never hunted, but would like to hunt, and suspect I would enjoy. But I wont list those because I...

I dont know that I would use a 458WM for wolf by choice, but irrespective here is the data I can give you. In my son's 458Win, we have a load that shoots well and he used this load to hunt Sambar deer in Australia. We are loading the Barnes TTSX 300gn SOCOM bullet at 2400fps (its a couple of...

Very nice Bongo. Congratulations (y)

You must have excellent binoculars to get that view from Darwin :E Happy: Good luck with the hunt

Just saw this on another forum (French language). Neither Browning or Beretta: https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/economie-social/rivolier-reprend-le-fabricant-d-armes-stephanois-verney-carron-5344216?sfnsn=scwspmo

Well, you cant over stabilise a bullet. The modern 8mms all seem to have a 1/10" twist. I think a 1/9.4" twist should be fine.

The Tracker came up looking good. I will be interested to see the skinner when its finished.

Mate, that has come up very nice. Great rifle in a great cartridge (y)

Yes. I have never used the Constantia red oil, but know another knife maker who raves about it.

No, but I only used a couple of coats of the red oil before I went to the more neutral coloured gun stock oil because I didnt want to overwhelm the relatively light coloured wood (I was using spotted gum in that case). The red oil really brought out the grain on the wood - it was stunning how...

You could try postimage.com. Thats all I use for posting photos and it works for me.

I have used the red oil and stock oil on knife handles and found it to work well. I have not used any on a rifle stock though. I just gave what I had left over to a friend who makes rifle stocks, but I dont think he has used any yet.
