@RIGBY has mentioned it in another thread, I don’t believe it will be officially announced until early next year. I’d be probably selling a few guns and saving my pennies if it’s similar to HS pricing and true to the original.

Thanks for organising things @Tintin It was a great day with some great rifles and even better folks. Too many highlights to pick just one, but I sure did fall in love with @264 ’s 318WR. Quite possibly the finest gun I’ve ever laid eyes and hands on. Handling and shooting it has planted a bad...

Apple is meant to have good security I believe. Someone got into my account and changed my password, security questions, DOB, personal information etc. and started subscribing me to things. I called apple and they said because I don’t have access to my security questions there’s nothing they can...

Excellent sir, Fantastic choice of action too. You’re making me feel like a wimp for not going any larger than a 9.3x62. If I can ever justify the need I’d like to.

Here I am wanting one nice muntjac for the wall and you’re throwing them away! Nice work mate.

I’ve shot game beyond 600m but I choose not to do that anymore. I got to the point where I questioned whether I was really hunting when I could move around and talk at a normal level to my brother for elevation adjustment and getting better shooting positions etc. without the animal having a...

Thank you for the feedback. I don’t dislike single shots, I enjoy hunting with flintlocks but I’m pretty set on a bolt rifle. It’ll be one my kids hunt deer with so I’d like them to learn on a bolt gun in a deer calibre. I have often thought a 6.5x54ms would be a beautiful gun, unfortunately...

Exceptional stags my friend! Do you know what the stags skulls weighed? I struggle estimating.

As always, an excellent report which had me feeling as though I was there!

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Excellent adventure mate! Looked like a lot of fun all round and some beautiful antelope to boot. Reminds me that I need to buy my points for WY before months end.

I’ve only shot two buff so far, one with a 50 cal muzzleloader and one with a 375 H&H. I’m hoping to put together a hunt next year and in that case I’m aiming to take my 9.3x62 using woodleigh hydro’s.

I’ve shot reds and sambar with 156gr Norma oryx in 7x57. It’s a great calibre and you’ll have no problems if you can get one in your sights.

130 year old Lee speed 303 still proved itself as a solid working rifle this year.

I’m in Noosa next week and it’s going to be colder than here in vic! Who’d have thought. Hopefully you guys get some decent weather.
