Any reason you wouldn't run a 235/270/300 Gr Barnes TSX? Cheers, JWB300

Hi Phillip, What QD rings are you using? Have you tested to see if the scope returns close to zero when removed and replaced? Cheers, JWB300

Cheers IdaRam - I'll put a Z5 3.5-18 x 44 BT up top off my 300WSM. Cheers, JWB300

I think some are missing the fact that the rifle comes with a threaded cap to replace the break. So it is entirely up to the individual (y) I'll let you know how they go in a few weeks when I get the Profession in 300WM that I just ordered. Should make a fine mountain rifle.

Fair enough! (y)

Thanks for the info and pics CTD. Interested to hear why you don't like the fluted bolt? Other than being largely pointless other than for weight reduction. Cheers, JWB300

The break is removable and it comes with a threaded cap. I personally like the stock design particularly on the Professional model. To me they seem to be a decent package - it comes bedded, ceracoated and with a sub MOA guarantee. I won't be buying a Big 5 model as I can't go past my Ruger for...

Not sure if this has been posted but this manufacturer has my interest... Has anyone handled or shot one of these? I would be keen to hear your feedback. http://www.legendaryarmsworks.com/ Their DG offering... http://www.legendaryarmsworks.com/product/big-five/ Cheers, JWB300

A Zeiss Duralyt 2-8x42 Illuminated - I posted a review here a while ago. http://www.africahunting.com/threads/ruger-guide-gun-review.21873/ Cheers, JWB300

Yeah both with the 375R - 235gr TSX's.

I indeed share CT Dolans sentiments of the Guide Gun and the 375R and 416R. Here are a few with my 375R Guide Gun... nothing compared to your beautiful trophies above

Great report Code4 - Great pictures and thanks for posting. That ironstone and gibber country is hard on the tyres. Shame about the shitter!

Accuracy, choice of projies and the satisfaction of doing it yourself! I certainly didn't do it to save money! Cheers, JWB300

Good sized mob there UKHunter. Could get a few with one shot :) When do they rut over there? Cheers, JWB300

Both great - from memory the Leica's range is a little better suited to bow hunters. The Swaro's start at 30 yds. Swaro customer care is second to none.

Great pic Code4 - classic outback camel photo. Some good shooting by the looks too.

I like the S4 Gear harness. Easy to operate 1 handed and holds the binos nice and close to your chest.

Great pics. Some fine animals there. I really like that giraffe! What a beauty. Cheers, JWB300

Great work Steve - good to be on the front foot with this. Always easier to address before it gets into the public domain! Cheers, JWB300

Congratulations on a great hunt and a great bull. Thank you for posting. Excellent photos. Cheers, JWB300

Great pics everyone. Johnnyblues - you have some great trophies. That Chamois is a cracker. Is he from NZ? Also love that white tail pedestal mount with the snow on it. Cheers JWB300

You'll have a great trip. Make sure you don't train on any hills! It's all flat here :) Cheers, JWB300

Good luck mate - keep us posted on your progress

The stupidity of this decision really makes my blood boil. Good work Rob and Steve. Cheers, JWB300

I don't know how any manufacturer of ammunition can offer an accuracy guarantee. It will shoot differently out of every rifle. I would try another brand of ammo (or some hand loads) along with the other suggestions here. I have a browning 223 that offers a sub-MOA guarantee. I have shot...

How many different types of ammunition or reloads did you try? Cheers, JWB300

Just to be absolutely clear! :)

Prime habitat for a Kiwi though! You would be right at home with those chilly winds - just like Stewart Island;););)! ;);)And for the record we wear thongs not jandals - but man is this hard to explain in America!

Wow what an awesome hunt and offer. One day I would love to do this hunt. Looks bloody cold

Well done - sounds like typical NZ weather!

"Time seems to slow down and everything is calm. No excitement, no shakes, nothing. I am fully concentrated, place the crosshair just behind the shoulder and squeeze the trigger. Shot is off and I know it’s good. I can see the place of the crosshair in my eyes when recoil throws the gun off...

Great story Bob - thanks for posting and the great pics. I think you still took a beautiful lion regardless of the circumstances. Cheers, JWB300

That's a great organisation to have on side. Keep up the good work Steve

Ironic that you blame brand bias for the overwhelming perception that said euro brands are the pinnacle of optics yet your obvious brand bias towards Meopta eliminates the validity of your opinion

This! Couldn't agree more.

Foxi - I think that is the most European hunting photo I have seen. I really enjoy seeing pictures of hunting in Europe! I really enjoy Chamois hunting. I hunt them in New Zealand where you can hunt them on public land for free (small fee for hunting licence). Cheers, JWB300

Great pics Foxi thanks for posting them. Where do you hunt Chamois?

Yeah there are a few when you think about it - 6 species of deer (fallow, red, hog, sambar, chital, rusa) pigs, water buff, camels, brumbies, foxes, goats, wild dogs and cats plus other small critters.

Yep up north there are Axis (mostly called Chital here) Pigs are sort of everywhere

Yep! AH back country Sambar hunt. I'm sure we could sort out tipping a few deer over. Maybe some fallow and pigs too. Cheers, JWB300

As Bluey said there is a fair bit but often the better country is privately owned. I took these on private property in NSW. In Victoria probably the best deer country (for Sambar) is on public land.

Thanks Bill, Fallow come in a number of colours. This is what we call 'common' but they also come in black and white. I just need a decent white one now and I might get all 3 mounted on one mount to display the different colour types. This is a black one I took last year Cheers, JWB300

Yep it'll probably end up as dog meat

Cheers Bluey That goat was really stinky. By the time I got back to him a few hours later he was bloated and fly blown. I don't think you would ever get the goat smell out of his cape so he stayed there for the eagles. Hi K-man As it is pretty early in the rut he was still carrying a bit of...

Got out for a quick hunt on Saturday morning. Up early but couldn't move too far as the fog was pretty thick and bumped a couple of animals that were not seen. Just as the fog was clearing this old one horned goat appeared. Decided to drop him because he has been eluding us for several years...

Welcome Steve - good to see you here. Cheers, JWB300

Its a big call but I tend to agree!

Unless you get temp stabilised powders which mitigates almost all of this effect.

Good to see you here Robert, For those who don't know - Robert and The Shooters and Fishers Party have done more for hunters, shooters and fishers (and generally all outdoor recreations) in NSW and probably Australia than any other single group. We have them to thank for the public land hunting...

Great report Wheels - thanks for sharing. Cheers, JWB300
