Contrary to the title, this is not a joke thread :ROFLMAO: My ex-wife (pretty decent person) has her visa to work in Canada as is looking for job opportunities if anyone knows of anything going. She is a software implementations manager / project manager / service delivery manager. That...

Has anyone imported a rifle recently into Oz. I need info and details of the process. My uncle will "import" my rifle and once my permanent residency comes into effect I'll "buy" it back from him. Any info will be appreciated. Gary

G'day All, Does anyone have any insight on the process for exporting my rifle from RSA to Australia. I know I have to obtain an export permit here in RSA and the "new owner" in Australia has to obtain an import permit. The Australian side of things is pretty well sorted out (I think!!). I'm...

I don't mean to start the apocalypse but why is the SxS preferred over the O/U when it comes a DR? Is it purely the angle of break when you have to reload or is there more to it? It would seem that regulating a SxS DR it's a bit of a pain in the butt. O/U seems so much easier. I have never...

Listening to Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Dire Straits and of course CCR... a little of one hit wonders and loads of the classics. Pretty much everything from the 60's to 80's (with a little of 90's thrown in) What are you listening to....?

Just a heads up to those able to take advantage. Some very nice discounts on offer. I got a compound bow (think it was Max Hunter) for $300 (50% off). Only ever shot a compound once before and I know next to nothing about bow hunting. It is a 25-65lb bow. I'll only handle it when I get to Oz on...

I really hope I'm not the only one here that can't tell the difference between a mauser and CZ action or any other bolt action. How does one tell the difference? What should we be looking for/at? That's just for starters! Let alone the difference between a ZKK602 and 550 action or a big or...

My son wanted to join the British army but that door seems closed to him. He is now looking at the Legion as an option. Does anyone have any info, experience or opinions? Applicants are accepted from any country in the world. The days of murderers etc running to the Legion to escape justice are...

Just seen this on another forum...

I'm on another forum and one member is asking if anyone knows about these guns and an approximate value. Are they any good etc etc. He seems to think they come from USSR but no other info available.

Hope someone can help correct a problem by son has... as the title suggests he shoots right handed but is left eye dominant so he is craning his head over the rifle to aim with his left eye. What can be done to remedy this? It's fine for now as he is only shooting a pellet gun / .22 but I'm...

The following is from a talk radio station here in South Africa. I'm sure there is also a podcast of the interview. Botswana Predator Conservation director Dr J Weldon McNutt says The predation of livestock by carnivores, and the retaliatory killing of carnivores as a result, is a major global...

A colleague who is an ex hunter told me the best story today... He is one of those who can't be told anything and also believes the sewer content that spews from his mouth... Now I must admit that the following story may well be true, many things in this world still surprise me... but I think...

Came across this forum while looking at hunting Water Buffalo in Australia next time there... My first rifle was a BSA No1 pellet gun when I was 4 years old. My old man shortened the butt to fit me and the hunting bug bit hard from then on! Used to come home from school, put 20 pellets in my...
