    Cameras bring them or stick with phone

    I can only comfortably carry two out of rifle / binoculars / camera. So far the former two have always been more important for me. So I use my iphone for any pictures.

    500 Jeffery Club

    I've seen this one before. Small warning, reminiscent of what I remarked on the recent auction. In the comment section there is written in French the following: Q: Dear Sir, is this an original civilian Mauser action? Pre-War? Or an FZH action? A: Hello, no it is a Hartmann & Weiss action. We...

    ENGLAND: Hunting for vampires

    Indeed, the Asian version of Duikers :) and as they are in England, they can at least be hunted. On a side note, I believe CWD is the finest game meat that can be hunted in the whole of Europe. A case could be made that it is even better than Cape Eland! :E Shocked: @Frederik , I'll be cooking...

    ENGLAND: Hunting for vampires

    This will be a very short report, compared to my usual writings. I just wanted to share this hunt I took in January of 2025 as it has been a bucket item for me for quite some time. I had reached on AH for any contacts to go hunt vampires in the UK, and while many members gave a response (for...

    Let's see your bolt knob checkering - looking for ideas.

    Very beautiful. Is it correct that these are factory produced boltknobs, and that the M03 boltknob is interchangeable with the other Blaser Group rifles? Or was this specific one a custom?

    I wish weather is my main worry, in finding a good place to build a future for my children.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Two Brothers And Two Double Rifles

    Haha, at first he was saying (due to cost etc.) this will be my only safari for the coming 5 years or so. But in messages with @Frederik yesterday, he was already starting to crack and might consider going again in a closer future :) So from my side, Mission Accomplished! I've brought another...

    Good Gun Deals This Week

    I had seen these as well, I do find it strange that no pictures were provided of the engraved name of the more known makers. It would not be the first time that I have seen “westley richards” or other big name in the ad, while it was meant to be “rifle in the style of…” The zebra skins are over...
