    Blaser R8 v Sauer 404

    Personally, I’ve been toying with the idea of a Sauer 404 in .375H&H as a second rifle for backup and practice versus a Sako 85, so this thread is naturally of great interest. My personal experience with the Blaser R8 has been mixed. To be clear, I have absolutely nothing against the company or...

    Norma discontinuation of Barnes TSX in .375 H&H (Factory loaded)

    Thank you all for the links. I'll follow them up. Have always had a preference with Norma with Swift A-Frame and Barnes TSX. No issues with Sako / Hornady... Much appreciated, SC

    Norma discontinuation of Barnes TSX in .375 H&H (Factory loaded)

    Placed an order for this great round combination from Norma a while back. Notified recently that Norma are allegedly discontinuing the production of the round by their RUAG UK agent. No distribution has been made to UK agents over the past three years. This is an awesome lead-free round! Yes...

    UK trophy import ban consultation has opened

    Sadly I agree with you and suspect this was a done deal. I hope we're both very wrong. Urban man barely knows or understands how and where his food comes from. How he's expected to look beyond the emotion of his nose at the complexities of wildlife so devoid from his own livelihood or domain...

    With the UK's Trophy ban consultation now closed - some great supporters in hunting put this balanced podcast out on the subject together. I really hope our politicians and media will listen and learn.

    First .375 on the way!

    Congratulations SB! If calibres were represented by chessmen, the universal coverage of squares on the board makes her a Queen. Enjoy and welcome to the club!

    In my opinion this falls squarely on the shoulders of Boris' girlfriend whose naive mindset is welded to that of Chris Packam's and Boris's close friend Zac Goldsmith who failed to be elected as a Member of Parliament in the last election and was rewarded to 'make it happen' as a Peer instead...

    Where does this end? Cow skins no longer used for leather nor their horns for buttons et al. This is animal husbandry + waste not want not. Trophies are still used for their meat. UK Deer are most certainly in DEFRA's "impartial" sights. Wouldn't it be so much easier from a Govt standpoint to...
