Grew up on a game farm in Limpopo. Shot my first pig at 12. Lived in Mozambique for 10 years. I have bow hunted the Save Valley twice. Been 'treed' by elephants more than once. Have shot a rhino with a slingshot. My average day out hunting involves shooting meat for farm rations i.e. warthog, impala and wildebeest etc. I am a keen reloader and reader of as much as possible. I currently own a left-handed Ruger M77 Hawkeye in .308 that loves 180 gn ttsx.
I moved to the UK in 2015 to start my PhD in geology. Am part of a shooting club here, but still waiting for my firearms certificates. My current project is centered around building a flatter shooting weather-proof mountain rifle on a stainless steel left-handed M70 action I managed to find. Looking forward to hunting deer here. 6.5x55 SE is the main contender for a rebarrel job.
That's all for now.Interact
