Greetings from a Swede!

[Timt]

Think into something like Oribi sir!

Oh I would jump on the chance to get an Oribi! Have even planned for the trophy fee and taxidermy for a fullmount if the opportunity would present itself!

Oh I do know how difficult it is to ever get one and the permit. But, the chances are always there, just make sure the opportunity never catches you off guard and always have that savings account with the funds for an Oribi ready! One never knows when the opportunity presents it self.

If it does, you need to be ready to take your best swing!!!

 

[Timt]

That is a very good advice and one that I normally plan for...
Always try to bring one rifle in a caliber suitable for small game, and one in a caliber that can handle anything on four feet no matter what size if the opportunity of a lifetime should come around!

The cash can always be borrowed/stolen/procured one way or another. But the oppurtunity might never come again!

As you say... the cash is latter to the opportunity! Seize the moment with the right caliber!

Hi Tim, welcome from a fellow warthog addict !

 

[Velo Dog]

Welcome to the best forum from a fellow rifle nut.
(Hunting is my main excuse to buy sell and trade rifles).

 

[Timt]

Thanks Nyati, nice to see someone else that can't pass up on a pig!

Velo Dog, do you actually need an excuse to buy/sell/trade rifles?
In a way it's lucky that Swedish law only allows us 6 rifles at any time, otherwise I'm guessing my wife would have left me when she couldn't move around for all the rifles in the house!

Hi again Timt,

The excuse thing was mentioned only as making fun of myself, however weak the humor in it may have been.

In the end, my wife is exactly like yours because, I know she would probably run away screaming, if I began stacking up large collections of sporting goods in almost any room of our house, except where she does not have to step over or around any of it.

In other words, I keep most of my things in one room ("Man Cave"), down stairs/away from the main living area of our house.

The one room storage space, combined with the fact that I need money to hunt and fish, especially in Africa, keeps me from buying very many guns and fly rods.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

That gun changing supportgroup I think I have to join!
I have a friend that have a gunshop,and that dont help.

 

[Timt]

Thank you everyone, have to say it is a very warm welcome!

Peter Larsson... That would be a very bad thing for me, would change atleast one rifle every month just to relieve my curiosity!

May I ask you where that gunshop is? Always on the lookout for a new friendly owner that doesn't laugh at me when I come in/call with a new "stupid" idea that I have

 

[Peter Larsson]

In Säffle! Roos vapen is the name.
He just have his business for fun.Not so much in to new guns,
but if you need something odd he is the man!

 

[slad68]

I can't believe I missed this post, Timmy do you still have that deadly Blazer in the .308???

 

[Timt]

Hey Bossie!
Sold that Blaser and bought a new similar one with a longer and heavier barrel so I get a bit better long-range accuracy!
I shoot a bit better with the heavier barrels
Looks like you had a good 2014 season?
