    Your 3 favorite hunting cartridges of all time

    22lr 30-06 9,3x64 The global universal set. You can adequately hunt with these 99% of the game on our planet. The two bigger ones are beltless, superbly balanced and efficient cartridges.

    If you could choose: Brno Z, ZG 47, ZKK or Cz 550??

    You can deactivate the set trigger feature quite simply. But thorough testing of the trigger function is advised after that. I did that on my standard 550 in 300wm . Instructions were in the CZ US catalogue 10 years ago.

    Blaser R8: lowest QD scope mount?

    What's the objective diameter of your scope? I once procured for a hunting buddy two Blaser mounts, one original, one aftermarket, 1 inch tube scope with 42 diameter. The original was a bit lower. For me, his stock with that mount was still a little too high and uncomfortable. An added cheek...

    Management Elephant Bull Hunt In The Caprivi Namibia 2023

    I had once a guest, a German businessman and avid hunter, with a great passion for Africa. He never took trophies back home. His way is enjoy the adventure, make good pictures to boost the memories and don't bother with all the logistics of trophy shipping and import. He hunted antelopes all...

    Tipping Guide

    I think one should tip the state employee who rather quickly issues one's driving license or passport for traveling abroad. Oh, wait, that's a bribe, then, isn't it ? Or still rewardable service? But then at least one should bribe I mean tip the mechanic who services your car and the airport...

    Lee Loader 7x57

    Did you sell it ? Just curious for how much ))) None on ebay currently, so don't have a ln index. But I see that the 12 ga got substantially cheaper now. March 2022 was a heavy peak, considerably cheaper now.

    Snakes on the plains

    I have read over the weekend some of the snake threads here on AH. I don't like snakes and I am quite afraid of them, on a ancient, instinct level. I've been often outdoors with grandpa (beekeeper) and or my father as a boy, and sometimes "stoned" the occasional adder, most often encountered...

    Did he? I've read it remained an idea. The x65R Brenneke is a fabulous concept, though. Not to be confused with 9,3x65R Collath, a 120 years old lame duck for old drillings.

    don't know about Orsis. I think the Kalashnikov Group (former Lmost bankrupt Izhmash) is currently manufacturing a bolt action Los-9, Push-feed, 2 stage trigger safety. IMHO, a profoundly ugly and crude gun. Topped only by the Tigr and Orsis, but both tactical military guns, aesthetics...

    More thoughts on 9.3x64

    I am not yet a reloader (except for shotguns) and don't have the knowledge on that, but I talked recently during a hunt to a nice young fellow, who happened to be quite into reloading. And this guy regularly reloads the 9,3x64 for his father and his old Steyr S rifle. He talked about reduced...
