@Slim01 Here is an answer that makes reference to to the UK species in regard to your thread regarding 7x64 and .30-06

I think R eight nailed it. My wife has 7x64 because I like the 7mm as a calibre. I started a thread named anything but a .308 to ask what would people buy for a dedicated hunting rifle if .308 wasn’t an option. One thing that keeps coming up is .30-06, probably because of all the American...

I have read about fouling shots. My plan is to clean my rifle, take it out to check poi. Probably let it cool and take a shot to confirm. Then it should be ready for the next hunt and I should probably clean it when I get home.

I had a similar problem and the rifle would not group. It was an original M77 with the Tang safety in .300wm. Someone picked the problem before I did and I ordered a trigger guard online. ( Btownells I think) The replacement did look to be better quality than the original die cast one. The...

G’day from Australia, from an Aussie who is Tikka fan.

My first African animal was an Impala. It was at Game4Africa when n January 2020. I had a hire rifle that was the owners suppressed 7mmRm. A nice Sako with a Swarovski scope. We went to the farm range that morning and after 2 or 3 shots the PH was happy the rifle was sighted and that I was on...

Warthogs are cool.

G’day from Australia

I used to make HomeBrew. I read all I could and knew the history of IPA. My favourite homebrew kit (malt tin) was actually the Coopers IPA. I’m over the home brew phase and Coopers make a nice Pale Ale and others. Coopers is a an Australian owned family business that is 150 old and growing...

Sorry for the edit mate but makes for a bit of fun. We all have different circumstances and goals. So long as we prioritise family and strive to achieve something it’s all that matters. I’m 6 years from freeing up my super, more importantly it’s still 9 years till I can my my hands on my...

The best advice I got here, “ Africa is not as expensive as you might think” From joining to wheels up was 10 months. I booked a management hunt with 10 animals and no trophies. It was our 25 year wedding anniversary and our first international trip. From that I have had many conversations...

I agree with keeping it simple. Being buried on your own place lets you rest in peace. I don’t consider funeral homes a RipOff. They provide a service and it’s an industry. Not one I want to work in. Expensive yes. But they are still employing people and paying taxes.

I picked up a Pink B&C stock on special to suit a Tikka. I was wanting to to do something with it for my wife. A 7x57 would have been perfect and I’d have taken a 7mm-08 in an instant but a 7x64 came up for a song. Tikka make all 3 chamberings but they are not common in Australia, less so...

@txtrout75218 pure logic says Aussie shooters need a .223 and .308, that’s the economical, practical and logical choice for us shooting foxes or culling Roos with a .223 and using the .308 for pigs and most deer species. But, the 7mm-08 is no sleeper. It’s a great little cartridge that...
