On that note I have a little joke to share that I find precious. During the 1899 - 1902 Anglo-Boer War about 20 trapped Boers found themselves surrounded by the Queen's soldiers on a small hill somewhere in the Orange Freestate. They had decent cover behind some rocks, and elevation advantage...

Guys Im looking for great gun related stories that Ive read long ago. First one is Hoe skat skiet jy met n 303. Second one is Which caliber do you hunt with? The one where you inherited your 243. Please post them here if you dont mind. Its so funny and its cultural heritage I believe.

Bear Grylls would do okay I think in any environment in my opinion. He has a varied and thorough skillset. He is focused on bushcraft and survival for a living, and he claims to be ex SAS, so he should have the mindset. The latter is key I believe. I humbly recommend the greatest true story of...

You just Thanks for that Sir. You just gave old heart a very warm feeling. To be honest, I cant sleep, I cant work, I hardly eat, my poor dog thinks Ive abandoned her.... I just want to sit with this rifle and gently stoke her stock!

You can not rely on Olympics. Laws are written specifically. We have to fight like in this video. The Namibians are brilliant for bringing in native communities. I wanted to shed a bloody tear there! Appeal to emotions and the politics of the day. Thats how we win. We know we are right, but we...

The basic logical sequence is so simple. Hunting brings in money to keep large stretches of entire ecosystems intact at the negligible expense of a sustainable harvest. No hunting means other more destructive uses of that land is inevitable. Be it live stock farming on the good side, or total...

Quoted: "My (personal) belief is that the models and designations were not quite as "strict" as we'd like them to be. Your serial number's "V" coupled with a blued action (and I'm wagering not quite a plain stock) seems to indicate the same." This concurs with the bit of research I've done. At...

Hi Paul, Thank for that interesting info. Appreciate it! There is no V in the number. Just OB3006xxx - the exes being three more numbers. The rifle has a beautiful stock (to my eyes at least). I'll add a photo of the entire piece. Have a great day.

Thanks the replies gents. Am I assuming correctly that the OB serial number indicates a rifle made my Musgrave, but with Bruno barrel and bolt?

Good day fellow members, I recently received a beautiful hunting rifle as a gift. I was hoping to find out more about the weapon. Information I have so far is that it is a Musgrave 30-06. Barrel length 24 inches. I would be very greatful to learn about the history of the rifle, if it has a...
