I was given some 30-06 ammo. 3 boxes of factory ammo. When I checked through, there were about 9 rounds of what looks like reloads. I just put them aside to pull and reload. Not worth taking chances.

Mokore Safaris in Save Conservancy although sable might be hard there or Mokore in Coutada 9 in Mozambique for all 4 species. I would also recommend Thierry Labat in Nuanetsi or Save Conservancy as well as Charlton Macullum Safaris. All very big areas, wild and with comfortable camps.

What size are the screws? It is possible to drill out the broken screws and tap to a larger size. That is probably the easiest and cheapest option.

Hawke do a lot of springer airgun scopes. Anyone who knows springers will tell you they break scopes. It is the 2 direction recoil and even the best German brands come apart on spring airguns. So I think that expertise has helped them create tough scopes. I have a Hawke Sport on my springer and...

You can get the quick detach fittings that are flush with the stock when you detach the sling. I have sling mounts on my 3006 and 458 lott. Haven't had any finger injuries yet. My 3006 has fixed sling mount and the 458 has the sling mount that you can spin a finger nut and take it off in about...

I would say that alignment of your eyes with the sights is non negotiable.You cannot shoot if you cannot aim. Second is pain, if it hurts you will shoot badly. For me personally, drop at heel causes the muzzle to rise and that hurts your cheek. A comb that is higher at the front is the same...

I would throw Zimbabwe into the conversation. Nuanetsi Ranch is a fantastic plainsgame destination with DG available as well. Save Valley conservancy has good plainsgame as well. Outfitters to talk to are Mokore safaris and Thierry Labat PM me for contact details. Also other outfitters that are...

Carbon fibre can shatter like that. Even in a crossbow, the shaft flexes in flight and it can break apart. Maybe it hit a branch or twig that you didn't notice ? Anyway, any bolt or arrow withstand a lot of stress during the acceleration, flightcand impact. At least it was a clean miss and not a...

Rowland Ward favours wide bulls of Tanzania, Sci favours Southern countries. I would suggest Bubye and Nuanetsi in Zim. Areas around Gonarezhou park are where I have seen biggest wild buffalo. A couple were captured there for a breeding program at around 60 " but those are 2 in 30 000. You have...

I refinished my CZ stock and am very happy with the result. I scraped the finish off with a knife and just left the chequering alone. I have also bedded the recoil lugs (Cz has 2). This was to strengthen the stock and prevent cracking rather than accuracy. Also free floated the barrel. I think...

Personally I believe that solvents do all the heavy work of removing copper and carbon fouling. I think a brush helps lift or flick out particles that may be stuck in corners then patches wipe out the dissolved fouling. Nylon for solvents and bronze for scrubbing old fouling. I clean my 22 less...

I have helped out with the PH exams and we used a charging lion machine. It uses a car starter motor with a chain sprocket approx 8 inch diameter on to a shift with a 3 inch sprocket. Then there is a 12 pulley on the shift that reels in the rope. All is housed in a steel box. It pulls a sled of...

You will end up with a fantastic rifle for not much money. The factory trigger tunes up very well. A little polishing of the surfaces and adjusting out the set trigger is easy. Then it can be adjusted to a reasonable weight and crisp break. I would also suggest a threaded bar reinforcement in...

My CZ 550 has a + on the crossbolt. I just used a flat screw driver.

I have bedded the barrel lug( glued in the steel lug into the stock) and bedded the main recoil lug in my CZ 550 458 lott. When I bought it, there was a plastic block behind the recoil lug. Pretty junky. So I bedded both lugs. Noy a full bedding but I ensured the action was pushed forward during...
