    What four calibres would you choose

    I’m not really a fan of exotic or rare calibers. I prefer reliable, proven cartridges that I know work well and that I can find ammunition for almost anywhere. My choices would probably be: 4 rifles: -.30-06 for stalking/rececho and also driven hunts. Honestly, I would choose it because of its...

    8,5x55 blaser Is it as good as it seems?

    I don’t personally know anyone who has actually used the 8.5x55 Blaser yet. With the other calibers already available (like .30-06, 8x57, 8x68, .338 WM, 9.3x62, etc.), it will be difficult for it to carve out real market space. It’s true that on paper it looks like a very versatile cartridge...

    8,5x55 blaser Is it as good as it seems?

    In Spain, unless you reload very large quantities of ammunition (for example for training shooting, olympic shooting or pistol shooting), the costs end up being very similar to factory ammo, so the savings are minimal, and even if you reloaded, for the 8,5x55 you're not going to find a huge...

    Beretta BRX1 vs Blaser R8

    Don’t get me wrong, as I said before, I still prefer the R8 for handling and that straight-pull feel. If I had to choose one rifle to take out right now, it’d probably be the Blaser. That said, I really believe Blaser could learn a lot from what Beretta did with the BRX1 when it comes to...

    Beretta BRX1 vs Blaser R8

    I got to try the Beretta BRX1 recently, the plastic, stock version in .30-06 with the 57 cm barrel. I have to say, it really surprised me. The rifle shot great, grouping 1 MOA, felt solid and well-balanced, and pointed naturally. Perfect for driven hunts and stalking. The rifle feels light and...

    Build your dream, custom rifle

    For stalkings and driven hunts in Spain, something like this will be my dream custom rifle. With a 30-06 or 308 barrel and another one in 9,3x62 calibre, with iron sights, and octogonal barrel if posible (like the stutzen blaser k95) For a safari gun, the r8 selous in 416RM will do.

    Do you film your shots?

    I am trying to create a system that consists of a plate that is screwed to the bottom of the primos tripod from which comes an arm with a clamp that holds the joystick with the camera (not interfering with the opening and closing of the tripod legs). I hope with this system to avoid the...
