It seems to me two methods for hunting leopard are used: baiting and dogs. But, as the title says, I wonder if there are any realistic alternatives to leopard hunting other than baiting or with dogs? Other than pure chance that is. I have been searching hunting reports, but can't find any...

Has anybody had a .416 barrel in 19mm made for their Blaser R8? If so, so how did that go, how did it shoot, price, etc?

I, my friend and his son, all tree hunters, are taking the very first steps towards a joint hunting trip. I would want to go after a kudu or an eland, and my friend and his son mainly after other PGs (I would actually prefer a buffalo, but PG daily rates seems to become more expensive if in...

Embarking on the first small step towards a DG and PG hunt. I have a Blaser R8 in .243 and 9.3x62 with a 3-9x56 scope. Planning to buy a .416 barrel for the DG and put on a eg 1-4x24 scope. I also have two trigger units. I do not want to buy another system. Now, having one R8 could potentially...

What do y'all do with your rifle if you are taking some days or perhaps weeks of holiday before or after your hunt? Where do you keep your rifle? In my country (Denmark) it would not be legal to just leave it in your room, and my rifle anyhow represents a value larger than the value of my car -...

I and a friend are going to spend two weeks of holiday in Louisiana first half of May this year. We are trying to figure out what to do - one of the things we certainly want to do is a swamp tour. It seems, however, all tours are max a few hours whereas we would have thought that there would be...

Hi, Looking for a belt holder/pouch that can keep a spare Blaser R8 magazine easily accessible. It seems I can only find types that work with entire trigger/magazine units, not with the magazine only. So what I have found are these, so if I am wrong and they are also fine with the magasine...

Hi, I am looking for non-leather ammo slides with flaps/lids that will fit on belts. I have found a number of them, but do not know what size cartridges they hold (firmly). I am looking for sizes that will fit .243, .308, 9.2x62 and .416. I have found different ones, but funny enough they at...

Hi, When logging in I can select 'New posts'. That list quickly becomes very long, and many of the posts listed are in threads that have already decided that I do not want to read (if I want to follow a thread I can 'watch' it). What I would like to do is to be able to get a list only of new...
