Being across the pond purchase would present logistical challenges. Purely as a matter of interest what is the weight and barrel length ? Lovely looking gun.

Two places stand out to eat in Windhoek. Joes Beerhouse is pretty much a rite of passage. However visiting this year and last I was not overly impressed. Apparently there has been a couple of changes of ownership. There was no game meat on our menu. I love oryx and eland and impala . The decor...

The Rottweil are safe to run in a 21/2” chamber.

Great rifles, in stainless steel and a synthetic stock virtually maintenance free apart from barrel care. Accurate straight out of the box. Lightweight, really for a working rifle what’s not to like about them.

Thanks, it was in Bavaria a couple of years ago. I’ve learnt you have to appreciate the hours in the forest. Cigars and coffee are good company.

Great price for a superb scope. Swarovski quality for Tasco prices. That range is, I believe, discontinued. I have one on a rifle, it’s a great allrounder

Make that 4 ! Thanks for the heads up.

Love to buy a copy but how in the name of God can I be charged £36 to post it to N. Ireland, part of the U.K. last time I looked ‍:rolleyes:

Just fitted this GPO 1-6x24 onto my Rigby for a forthcoming boar hunt in early December. A friend of mine was clearing his scope cupboard. On offer was a Schmidt&Bender 1-4x24 or this. We both agreed that the GPO was a superior scope. Clearer, far wider field of view. Plus a throw lever which is...

I started using a Peli 1750 case but after a couple of trips and the hassle of manoeuvring it in and out of airports, check-ins , bakkies and coaches I plumped for a Peli Storm 3100. The barreled action comes out of the stock. This gives me a much more compact case.I indexed the action screws...

I’ll chance it.

So I’m not the only one to have noticed that there is not much fur on beavers nowadays.

You have chosen wisely. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip there.

The last 3 words prompted me to reply to this thread. Check KLM Airlines. I’ve flown to South Africa with them twice. 2025 to hunt with my rifle. You cannot talk to a human being. A chat bot . On their website it says you can bring a rifle and ammunition but it must be packed separately. After...

I quite agree with you. Clatter of rocks and stones and the vague glimpses of them in the bush in close proximity when you get busted is the juice of life ! I remember Eric the tracker turning to us and lifting his finger to his nose he sniffed and raised his eyebrows and then Wow ! I too smelt...
