G’day from Australia.

The 7x64 and 9.3x64 sound like a nice combination.

While I’m sure @ActionBob has suitable experience it’s “The other Bob” that sings praise of the .35Whelen loaded to full potential. And in case you haven’t heard his other favourite calibre is the . 25, but I’m sure he has mentioned it. There is one cartridge he despises, now which one was...

Collecting Giraffes and Tractors is going to take up some serious space Bob. Oh, and then I think your wife also has a tendency to collect things as well.

It’s probably up to your country if you can bring the meat in but I expect it would be a huge expense even if the outfitter can assist with getting the meat to town. There are some great esky’s available here but you would still want to restrict transport time to about 3 days if you could line...

The biggest I have is .375, but I won’t need to import. Do they still supply any commercial producers? I would think their demand would drive the production schedule as the business has been rebuilt and Geoff may want to sell it sometime so it needs a commercial market contracts in place. No...

G’day from Australia

Yes, I used a 7mmRM in Africa so there is no reason a 7prc won’t work with the right bullets.

Nice. That ole dusty whisky bottle in front of the catalogue, was that display or “available” I would like a classic rifle but I would like a lot of other things.

Interesting, the .325wsm has been around for years. I used to read the gun magazines regularly and seemed to hear what the new latest and greatest was. I have a mate who has one, in fact he owned 2 at one point and I think his son owns one. For the hunting and shooting I’ve done with him I...

G’day from Australia

Agreed, I’m not going hunting in BrownBear territory with a 6.5 Manbun either, and no ballistic tip or mono going to stop a charge. I guess the .375H&H while it’s not a stopping cartridge it’s a fairly big cartridge with manageable recoil, For me I still want a cartridge light enough that I...

It’s a CZ not a Sako

@uplander01 the .375H&H makes sense and I’m hanging onto mine because I might need it one day. Well I hope I will. I’m not sure what you are asking when you say “light rifle” In part I’m thinking you want a lighter calibre and if you want a nice hunting rifle you might want lighter weight...

Many of the trouble making greenie types are freaks in Australia and I don’t doubt that anything associated with PETA in Australia would be associated with ferals. Coincidentally our hogs are Feral Pigs. I know a girl named Peta and the names not unique to her. She’s not feral though, she’s...

Make the most of the time they have with you.

I like a good home made Bolognaise. Cheese is half the experience so a good Parmesan and a Nice cheddar or Mozzarella completes my spaghetti,

@Altitude sickness They are all needy, lol, @Kiwifire111 funny that, I have been known to say Jessie the Wonder Dog, it’s a wonder I have a dog. She was for the family but attached to me and traveled with me becoming my dog. Good company when I worked alone and away from home. I wouldn’t...

G’day from Australia

My faithful sidekick did not wake up this morning. I sat on the grass with her last night as she wasn’t herself. I don’t know what was wrong but it came on quick and she was content so I spent what time I could with her and planned to get up early to check on her. I found she had not made it...

The word “Safari” probably makes me think of Africa or maybe other places where a planned guided hunt is taking place with the assistance of trackers,PH etc I had a Cull Hunt in Africa but could have been considered a Safari. I believe some people take photographic safaris. A guided hunt in...

@Kiwifire111 Mal, is there any chance you can fill us in with a hunt report? Keen to hear how it went.

They group well in my .280a.i and I would consider them for the op purposes if they go ok in the rifle. I like 7mm as a calibre. My first was a .7mm-08 that took plenty of pests with a 20” barrel.

I like cheese. The plain stuff for sandwiches and others along side some salami, Mettwurst or other Charcuterie (another hobby) Mostly eating Australian cheese but Jarlesburg and Parmagianno Reggianno are imported and available everywhere. Soft varieties like Brie and Camembert are popular...

I think you are looking at a broad range of bullets and putting them in the solids category. Full metal jacket are also solids in some sense of the word. Woodleigh Bullets make “Solids” but they are probably all above .30cal but Woodleogh also make Hydros. A Brass mono-metal cancel lathe...

Do do a fair comparison of those bullets you would need to do a true com of TTSX,CEB, HHT, NorthFork and Atomic 29 from both CRF and PF to compare results.

Wait a pair, there is another to go with?

Hunted with G4A in 2020, used Wik’s 7mm Plenty of Kudu and other game available and as a cull hunt I had good variety and opportunity. Great food and staff. I really enjoyed Pumba reserve. An extra that I researched while I was there. @Sika98k I’ve seen this Buffalo come around the house...

I know some of the more common names here and a few others from You Tube, I would not pass up an offer to hunt with a celebrity hunter but I doubt I would seek it out especially if there was a premium price tag. I guess there is a lot of staging going on to make a show and the you tube guys...

A hunt report would be nice, Written in Kiwi will be fine it’s just gonna sound funny when I read it. I may have got a sneak peek into this story or seen an image so it’s time to give us the hunt report please Mal.

Find what’s comfortable and fits well. Climate plays a part in this too. I live in that climate where Courtney boots are suitable I have a set of Courteney boots and actually gave my second set to my son as they were a loose fit albeit the same size. I expect there is some variation in sizing...

Did you hear that @Bob Nelson 35Whelen Sounds like the .30-06 can do it anyway, Probably but Bob will be along to tell you the Whelen will do it better.

By the time you find the right dies and fire form cases the cost will double the purchase price.

I have romantic notions of classic rifles and classic chambering’s but my decisions come down to budget and practical choices. The mighty .308 gets it done every day of the week and it’s a great choice for Australia Nice glass, and zoom range that pairs nicely with the rifle and chambering.

What scope does one run on a Rigby for dispatching such exotic imported pests.

That looks a lot like it is 2 different rifles Is it a necked up 7x57 or the like? How does the 57case compare to a .30-06 case dimensions

Definitely the latter and I honestly doubt he was an any of the other because he had the experience to show this. There are various threads with Bruce posts here.

A Von Gruff knives aficionado too I hope I did not miss anyone here. I met Bruce when I was in his area. We had shared many laughs in pm on AH. In part we met to compare our Von Gruff knives but also just because we could. We had coffee in Hahndorf, talked about guns and knives and Bruce...

Far from the worlds worst shot. Bruce Moulds was an accomplished F Class shooter and used his full name Bruce Moulds on several forums.

He did have a time where he worked in the bush. Culling is a part of country life here.

Not sheep hunting. Hunting in Australia is different. When it comes to sheep they are not really hunted here

G’day from Australia

Yeah, and shoots flatter than any other cartridge at that distance. Ask a Millennial

I think it’s about $100, I hired a rifle but if I were taking one I would pay for help.

Gin has become quite popular in Australia with small distilleries popping up everywhere, when 20 years ago there were Vickers or Beefeater on the shelf of most hotels. My wife enjoys Gin and Tonic. I’m inclined to think the Tonic makes a big difference overall no matter what the gin. I now...

G'day from Australia

G’day from Australia

Looks cool.

A 70 series LandCruiser tray top if I could . I have shot from vehicles but often on foot.
