The kickstops are all the same, but why use it if you do not need it? As for the bipod, I have 3 polymer R8 stocks and use them for target shooting with bipods, never had an issue with flexibility.

And you will need a European Weapon Passport in any case!

Hi guys, I am Dutch, hunted in Africa about 30 times, and avoid Amsterdam/Schiphol as the plague. You should absolutely fly from Frankfurt!!!! Take care and enjoy.

4 Swift A-frames, 200 gr. from my R93/8x68S. All recovered from Oryx shot broad side between 150-200m. at 850 m/s. One seems as if it broke apart, although no major bones were hit. Most A-frames that I shoot at Oryx, about fifty the last few years after I changed from Nosler Partition, are...

A Docter Sight II serves me well since 2014 on a R93 in 458Lott. Over 300 rounds , still accurate. Next August elephant hunt again. Why should I change?

I had a 1:8 made with enough freebore for the Berger 170, but am waiting for these bullets since 2020. Meanwhile I shoot the 150gr Nosler LRAB with a very good precision. My 1:10,33 hates thes 150gr Nosler LRAB and only likes 130grainers but, as an exception, the 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip give...

I have two 6XC barrels for my R8, only use them for competition shooting. The original Blaser barrel has a 1:8 twist, likes the Sierra TMK 95gr and with 845 shots done the grouping is still 4mm or less with 5 shots at 100 meter. The Berger 105 Hybrid does 6mm groups from that barrel, so I...

@CBH Australia:But, the 8x56 Hungarian is a 30mm tube and I believe the German assembled version is a 25mm tube. No, the German version is 30 mm too. Apart from 6 PM II's with 34mm I have a 3/12x42 Klassik and 3/12x50 Klassik in use, since 1996 and 1999. Nothing wrong with them!

@DieJager: ik neem aan dat je mijn cynisme niet door had?

Last Friday two planes from SA landed in Amsterdam with 624 passengers, only 61 of them had Covid of which only 13 the omicron variety. I do not understand why people in Europe worry...............
