    Wood or synthetic?

    First off: horses for courses Secondly: personal taste. My 2 cents I dislike stainless and plastic/polymer intensely! BUT if I was living in a location where extreme humidity / moisture was an issue I'd go for that option... Luckily I don't so it's not on my radar. Ergo horses for courses...

    Permanently importing a rifle into Oz

    Looks like I'm going to have to part with my rifle. I'm not happy about the fact but life moves on. Maybe it'll spur me into action to get my 404J built.

    Permanently importing a rifle into Oz

    I was told by the gun shop that I'm not allowed to fly with the weapon if it being permanently exported. I'll contact the airlines and see what it takes to fly with it. I only have three days left so it might be too late already.

    Permanently importing a rifle into Oz

    The issue is that I'm waiting on my temp residence and cannot fly with it. The problem is this side not SA so I need gun shop here in Gauteng that still does it and at a reasonable price.

    Exporting 30-06 from South Africa to Australia

    G'day All, I am looking for any known gun shops in the Gauteng area that still do exporting of rifles to Australia. I was quoted ZAR35 000 + which is madness! I inherited this Musgrave Mod90 and don't want to end up selling it for peanuts. I leave back for Brisbane in 3-4 days and would love...

    Hunting Ethics of shooting Buffalo bull while he’s laying down

    The ULTIMATE goal is to kill without the the animal ever knowing you we were even in the field. Nothing more satisfying than walking up to an animal and the grass is still in its mouth, or a sleeping animal stiffens and the head drops to the ground. If you're sure of your shot, take it and...

    Any South Africans Considering Relocating to US

    Hi Steve, SA is still largely the powerhouse in the region and with its fall southern Africa will fall further. The begging bowls will just become bigger and extended further. I think the game industry will survive for a time until the land invasions and expropriation begins. Then we will...

    Any South Africans Considering Relocating to US

    Unfortunately taking only the farmers from SA will result in SA imploding and communism and crime soaring to obscene levels. When hunger and unemployment skyrocket crime is going to be the order of the day. Then who do the masses turn to? The one that promises them bread even though that one...

    Politics

    I'm sure you know that is what I meant as well... Dumbass liberal/environMENTAL policies that either prevented dams etc being built for known issues as well as policies that turned the bush into powder kegs.

    Politics

    Difference is that hurricanes are NATURAL disasters while the extent and ferocity of these fires are largely due to HUMAN interventions. California should get zero relief from the Federal government. Like you said they have paid huge taxes so they should be rolling in the money. Plus they'll get...
