1.2MUSD for a pole, restraints, a dirt backstop and a .223 bullet?

Seems like there IS a difference between men and women! :D

I do not understand why so many of you are still engaging with @Big_Easy and ilk. He has been on my ignore list for a while now. Zealots and ideologues, especially uncultured and uneducated ones, bore me.

Waidmannsheil! I love seeing people taking their wood and blued traditional double rifles out for hunting in this age of carbon, plastic and alloys. Well done sir!

Actually I think the Z6i is dis-discontinued, or brought back. Listed for 2000€

@SStomcat , looks like you have made up your mind about changing from your initial 1-6x24 choices to a 1.5-8x42 (or similar). Very good choice. It is what I would have recommended as well. I don’t know if you have made up your mind about exact brand and model, but do keep an eye out for second...

To be fair, the insults thrown by the likes of Churchill, that show great intellect, are hardly comparable to some bumpkin calling people names.

Well proportioned and elegant stalking rifles are just a beauty to use. This one is mine in 7x64: It is a Dumoulin Centurion, which originally had an older straight 20mm tube on claw mounts. I had a new set of claws made, with this over the front bell mount on a Swarovski Z6i with a 42mm...

If you can get it at a reasonable price do not hesitate. I’ve seen no rifle finer than by Mr Hartmann & Mr Weiss

So, lead ammunition (for rifles only?) is again ok? At least until the next president goes back on this?

I don’t think anyone is making the case that there is no place for non-iron sighted rifles. Or that without them the rifle cannot be hunted with. What I and others did make a case for is that the people who specifically want a Rigby branded rifle, are looking for traditional form and details...

Most of the political establishment is tone deaf. They just run around in their own self aggrandising echo chambers. The question then is, is it incompetence (failure to see due to ego) ? Or is it with intent (ulterior motives)?
