Well Rob, There are so many stories! Until you mentioned my father being a brave man I have to admit I certainly never thought of him in such a way. The way we lived was just ‘normal’, he would come home after operations and life would just go on. I suppose normalised further when I served for...

Hi Rob, Thanks for your writings and pictures. Brings back memories! I was born in Nakuru. My father was a policeman during the emergency. Lived in Langata at one stage. A time to remember and reminisce about unfortunately gone forever! My father used an Obendorf Mauser in 9,3 x 62 which...

If I am going to use a round producing that sort of energy then I would prefer to go for a larger caliber. The 375Enabler I believe was designed for ELR shooting, not really suitable for DG? As you said “a can of worms”!

Springbok and buffalo. These are not calibre limits they are my choice of game. I grew up shooting for the pot, I would not have made myself very popular shooting something that was too small. The buffalo was an opportunity that could not be refused! I cannot afford to shoot anything bigger! I...

100% agree

Now there is a massive generalisation! (These are all arguments from people who do not master such big bore rifles and then try to talk others out of it.) I was born in Kenya in the mid 50s. I grew up with a 9,3 x 62. My father had and hunted with an Obendorf Mauser in this calibre for years. I...

No thanks! Why pay to be battered, just walk in front of an express train!

Yes. US$2m.

PHASA(Professional Hunters Association of South Africa) offer a paid service to both apply for import permits on your behalf and to provide a representative to meet you at the SA Police Firearms office at OR Tambo with your permit and to assist you with the clearance of your firearms. See this...

I think you will find that the Mauser M03 is a push feed just like the M12 and M18.

Where are they going to get the money to pay out. They don’t have two pennies to rub together!

Hi CBH, They manufacture the projectiles in Pretoria,SA. All monolithic. This is their web address http://peregrinebullets.co.za/ Great products!

Born nearby in Nakuru and grew up in the region during those turbulent times! My father hunted with a Obendorf Mauser 9.3x62. Plenty of buffalo and elephant around then!

So, I believe a lot of us are in agreement about this. So what do we do about it? It is a little pointless all of us talking about this in this group! Which I do enjoy. But the message is not getting out there to the broader populace! Or is it?
