Inspirational! Perth is the home of the SAS Regiment - he's got what it takes.

Down the rabbit-hole you go

Cracker Bushbuck - well done

I have 9 barrels (soon to be 10) for my Blaser R8 rifles - QD mounts all the way.

The 275 Rigby (you shoot a better class of animal than the 7x57 :cool:) won the marketing race of the time.

I found Spoor Bullets from South Africa in August 2025. Easily the most consistently performing DG bullet I've used.

Well bought! Beautiful rifle, awesome calibre

Some photos: It is a dream to shoot. I'm taking this rifle to the Northern Territory in August to take a trophy Asiatic Buffalo. I have some 400gr Spoor Bullets on the way from South Africa for this hunt but will be practicing with my ample supply of Woodleighs in the meantime.

I am fortunate enough to own one of these issued in 1910, engraved with Gaur. I'll put up photos when I can - I'm shooting it today in a Big Game Rifle comp.

10x32 LRF Swarovski light, brilliant! LRF is near instantaneous. Replaced Leica Geovid 10x42 after 12 years of hard use.

I've been saying "no more guns" for 2 years but have added at least 6 since then. I need to start using the 20+ that I have and not look at gun sales sites. :X3:

Cape Barren Geese on Flinders Island in Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia in the second week of January - a first for me - tick New Zealand South Island with my son Tom for Chamois, Himalayan Tahr, Red Deer last 2 weeks of April - booked. Victorian Alps second week of June...

1 in 7 twist 223REM with 70gr Barnes - perfect for Tiny 10. I shot a monster Steenbok in AUG 2025 with my Sako L61 in 30-06 with 165gr Woodleigh bullets - because that's what I had in my hand when the dainty little antelope was sighted.

Green Hills of Africa captures the allure of Africa. I am smitten.

Jeremiah Johnson is the greatest movie ever. I have always had a 50 cal Hawken percussion rifle in my collection. My Dad gave me one for Christmas when I was 15.
