    Client from the UK seeking all inclusive trip insurance?

    Sports Cover Direct are UK based and very easy to deal with, although I have never claimed. My normal broker recommended them for policies not available on the standard market and they do a specialist African Hunting policy

    Canvas rifle slip

    https://www.akah.eu/gun-covers-and-cases/akah-pirschfutteral-loden-63330128 I have seen these in the UK as well. They are loden, not canvas but look like a much better price.

    Canvas rifle slip

    I am certain that you won’t get anything UK made for less than the Croots slip. Perhaps a saddler could make you something?

    Canvas rifle slip

    Another option is Chapman Luggage in Carlisle. They are really good quality and a small family firm. I think they make bespoke rifle slips. I have one of their standard slips. It is really good quality but very rigid.

    Canvas rifle slip

    A couple of options: https://www.ardmoor.co.uk/products/croots-rosedale-canvas-roll-up-rifle-slip-flap-over-crs7 https://fineshootingaccessories.com/product/rifle-slip-lightweight-cover/?srsltid=AfmBOoo9RXf1dsqpHdmTbOksePkWvV3mNUn24Hr5peONf7Wjtkz-iyrx I am sure Brady used to make one as well...

    Scottish Highland Beef

    I think well marbled but lean is fair. They are typically very slow growing but should be good

    Help with info on a Mannlicher Schoenauer rifle

    I have been reading John Taylor’s book and he mentioned that the Mannlicher Schoenaur is known for failing to extract fired cases. How common is this?

    13yo…Book Recommendations?

    I think Natasha Ilum Berg has written a book specifically for teenage girls. Might be worth having a look at that.

    Which gun system to bring back ?

    Thomas Miedler is now producing them again. You can also order a new one built on an old action from Daniel Fraser. I have recently handled a new one. It was very impressive.

    Rigby / Holland & Holland / Westley Richards

    I have a 1920s H and H rifle. Whilst it is beautifully balanced, the trigger is awful. One thing to watch is that repairs undertaken by H and H are very expensive. I was told to consider it a way of preserving an investment. If I was to buy something like that now, I would seriously look at...

    Best All Around Caliber for Plains Game

    I keep thinking an 8x64S would be the best all round solution. Would be a pain if your ammunition went missing though and I am not convinced it would offer a lot more than a 30-06. Some articles suggest it does, others don’t.

    Inverness and the Spey and River Dulnain looking for ideas

    Inverness-shire is the county and Inverness is the city (but very small for a city) There is an airport there as well and the area has surprisingly good trains, but difficult to get around without a car. You can see a lot of the highlands from a train and there are a lot of stations in small...

    Inverness and the Spey and River Dulnain looking for ideas

    Just a word of warning as well - the A9 is a very busy road and has a reputation for crashes. There are speed cameras and hidden police patrols everywhere. A long section north of Perth has an average speed check. You really need to drive carefully. Everyone I know in Scotland has a story...
