    Oh Bob! They’ve done it!

    Ha ha I’m thinking some where in between like the 7mm08 is a better cartridge then either the 243 or 308. It has more energy than the 243 and better SD and BC with the same weight bullet than the 308. Something to think about……

    My new K95 is finally here!

    Yes he sure does. The job he did on my custom 375 Ruger was superb. Nick said it was one of the best he had seen. Ken

    My new K95 is finally here!

    I had mine restocked to fit perfectly and to reduce as much recoil as possible from cartridges like the 300 Weatherby and 338 Rum.

    My new K95 is finally here!

    I had a stock made to fit me properly and negate much of the recoil generated by larger calibers like the 300 Wea and 338 Rum.

    My new K95 is finally here!

    I had a 5.6 x 57 in my Mauser 66. It’s a great performer but a tricky one to reload. The necks get very thick and need to be turned and thinned down to avoid high chamber pressures. I know from experience as my rifle blew up and destroyed the rifle . Knowing the problem now I still wouldn’t go...

    My new K95 is finally here!

    Regarding riflescopes I use the Z6i 1.7-10 x 42. It’s compact, brilliant optically and all the power I need. I have a Blaser 2.8-20 on my 300 Wea barrel but it is to big for such a dainty rifle.

    My new K95 is finally here!

    Hello there I’ve had mine for close on 30 years. During which time I have collected 6 barrels. I had a 5.5x50 mag but here in Australia cases are only available from RWS. They cost or they did around $5 each if you can get them. Didn’t see the point with putting up with this so I had it...

    Cartridge for the Big 5 that is usable outside of Africa as well

    Hello HWL I also am a great fan of the 9.3x64 Breneke . My first rifle was a Mauser 66 which I had 30 yrs ago and now I own a R8 in the same caliber. It has always worked for me and never let me down. I am also a big fan of the 8x68s, hunted all my Alaskan animals with it. If I had only one...

    Norma PH solids for Buffalo

    I have a old mate here in Australia who was a PH here in the top end. He had two rifles he used a 375 H&H along with a 458 win mag. He much prefer the 375 and said it killed our Asian Buffalo which are considerably larger then the cape better than the 458. Nearly all animals were shot with the...

    Still worth buying a 338 WinMag if I own a 375?

    They’re a great scope bob. Best value for money you can buy. I saw a new 3 to15 and told Nick to buy one for the test firearm reviews. Most of the time they send a new rifle with a crap scope on it.

    I use the Swaro Z6i 1.7 to 10 x42 on most of my rifles and find it’s magnification never wanting. It is compact in size, has I fine illuminated retical with superb clarity. There not cheap but you have it for life and with its versatility you can put it on any rifle.
