Guys Im looking for great gun related stories that Ive read long ago.
First one is Hoe skat skiet jy met n 303.

Bear Grylls would do okay I think in any environment in my opinion. He has a varied and thorough skillset. He is focused on bushcraft and survival for a living, and he claims to be ex SAS, so he should have the mindset. The latter is key I believe.
I humbly recommend the greatest true story of...

Thanks for that Sir. You just gave old heart a very warm feeling.

Hi Paul,
Thank for that interesting info. Appreciate it!

Have a great day.

Information I have so far is that it is a Musgrave 30-06. Barrel length 24 inches. I would be very greatful to learn about the history of the rifle, if it has a...
