Hey Dave from another Dave in Aussieland. Welcome to AH.

And now I'm a gold member :) People need to be held accountable for their actions.

Whats wit all these anti hunting people saying all these horrible things to people ? They come across as mentally unstable. Corey Knowlton good job on securing a hunt.

WOW thats an impressive story.

Hi Chris welcome to the AH.

OH man thats a gooden I'll be sharing that one.

I'm still saving over here.. It's going to worth it when the day comes and it's getting close :)

I havent ran them thru a chronograph yet but factory ammo is supposed to be around 2520fps. With the 250gr the factory ammo ran about 2300fps. ( I think ) I am not really interested in trying to hot rod this round I will just be staying around factory velocities.

Thanks for the replies. Mine is a Winchester serai No.306** It was in pretty good condition when I got it, it still is but it has a few little marks on it here and there now just from normal use. Dave.

Any of you fellows using a 348win ? I have a Mod 71 and its one of my favourite rifles I only have 500 or so rounds thru it and thus far have only loaded 200gr Hornady interlocks I have ordered 100 Woodleigh 250gr to try. I've only shot half a dozen or so pigs with it but all have dropped...

Good one mate.

Thats a nice looking rifle you have got yourself there looking forward to hearing how it shoots.

Hi mate welcome to AH from another new guy. Hope you're having a happy Easter over there.

That is a very special find indeed, where was it do you know ?

Thats a real nice offer but I don't think anything I hunt is worth that much.

marmalade flavour vodka ? Man I am really missing out over here, I've never even heard of that. I am winding down with a Jack Daniels at the moment.

Hi Dan. I agree it is a pretty big purchase it's dam near the deposit on a house. Or a trip overseas to hunt. But I've pretty much made up my mind I'm getting a double I understand what you're saying about a secondhand gun it comes with history but I am hoping to make my own. I am...

That is a very nice looking rifle you guys have put together I bet who ever it goes to is going to enjoy it. I 100% agree with this statement.

Thanks for the info guys. I was thinking of getting the four day pass and staying over there for a week or so so I can have a look at a few other things wile I'm there. I will have to see who has what booth where and write a bit of a list. Dave.

I am not sure where to ask this so I thought I would just ask here. As has been suggested on this forum I am going to go to the SCI 2014 convention the at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV February 5th - 8th, 2014. Where is a good place to stay? I don't know the area...

Hey mate welcome to AH.

Hi Calvin welcome to AH.

" On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts." " Yes thats it.

Yeah I had a think about it and I am now thinking 170gr for the 30-30 just in case you run into something bigger. 250gr for the 348.

Now keep in mind that I have never seen a big cat so take this with a grain of salt. I imagine that they are fairly thin skinned animals and just looking at them I would think if I were to be carrying my 30-30 trapper I would not be under gunned, I have shoot hundreds of pigs and feral...

That looks like fun.

Thanks Paul I've a bit more saving to do yet. But like you say I would like to get behind as many doubles as I can just to see what I like. Dave.

Oh the 405win man I nearly bought a Winchester 95 chambered in 405win the other day I was fighting it and it got the better of me phoned up oldmate who had it for sale and he had just taken a deposit for it.. I'd still like one. Going to Africa man that has to of been been good Thanks Jaco

Hi Paul. I am starting from scratch. I am not sure there are any doubles in Isa I know of one fellow that has a few drillings but I'm not sure I've seen any double rifles here. I don't have enough money right now to buy a new rifle outright so I'll just keep saving till I have enough...

Made me laugh I just had to share it.

Do you have a double ?

Man thats a good one.

Thanks for the info guys I appreciate it. I have never been to the SCI convention in the USA however I was just reading about it on this forum. I may have to go over next year I see there are quite a few people from this forum that go and there's so much to see it really looks like it...

I've had a want for a double rifle for a wile now I grew up reading about hunting Africa and a few other far off places and well now I'm old enough to do it, so I am going to. So I thought I would ask people who have been there done that. I have read a lot on here and other places on the...

The hunting is good over where I was north of Halls Creek and around the kununurra area. There wasn't a lot of pigs down towards Halls Creek but there where lots of dogs and donkeys as you headed north there is more creeks and ground water so there are pigs and donkeys feral cattle and a few...

How well do these boots hold up with regular use ? I have had my eye out for a good pair of hunting moccasins for a wile pretty sure I just found them.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Found another pic. These are the typical Dingo you will find running around NT they are not a big animal and a quite timid, I was always told if I was not sure I could make a good first round hit on a Dingo not to take the shot because you will never see it again if you miss. The...

Good write up mate. Good way to spend a few days. I find dingos tend not to be to interested in people but they are getting crossed with domestic dogs and losing there fear of humans. I spent a year or so working outside of Halls Creek WA and the dingos over there are huge compared...

Nice write up and pics. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.

It's pretty much stopped raining although it did rain the night before last but it was only a light shower. There is still a fair bit of water laying around at the moment it should dry up in a few weeks or so. Here's a photo I took the other day on my way home of some camels, sorry for the...

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Mt Isa I've been here for a few years I am from NT I just moved down here for work.

Hi new guy here glad I found this place. I have had an itch for a double rifle for sometime now and in my search I found this forum. I also would like to hunt with my double rifle when I find what I want. I am not sure why I want to do these things I just do, I currently own a few...
