Well yes, lockers only get you stuck further, but handy none the less. ;)

Land cruiser and unimog, dominate on so many levels. Wish I had a unimog to go alongside my cruiser.

You guys eat liver, kidney or heart?

I wounder if a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with WW .690 RB at 1600 fps counts? If not, I suppose I will just have to wait untill I build my for 458 to be in this club.

I concur with 35bore.

72 C for two minutes kills all nastys. FYI

Who is looking down on big bore catridges?

I've eaton cougar it was delicious.

Mossberg actions are pure genius.

All the gear, but no idea! Oops sorry, just thinking aloud. :D

Not becuase they are very inexpensive but because they work. The rings secure the scope to the picatinny rail with confidence, the quick release works as it should, and the scope always holds zero. I use them on my 30-06 and on my shotgun with magnum slugs which can surpass a 458 win mag in...

Right. I'm sure hitting buff in the toe with a 500 NE, will not make him crumble into a thousand pieces.

I say hunt with whatever you're comfortable with. For me it would the 375 handh or a 458 win mag, only because of ammo availability and the retail price of the rifle (Ruger or zastava).

I use the TKF, but it's sujective for many.

Sounds good to me.

Why bigger than a .375? Just curious .... :)

Yes, I agree with Simon.

Good for you. The only thing you will loose is availability.

Ruger seems to reinvent and improve the wheel with the 375 ruger and 416 ruger. I guess, good things come in smaller (shorter) packages.

Awesome!

Leatheman surge in my pants pocket. On my hunting pack an 18 in tramontina machete and a mora knife.

Some nice cruisers there. I am a proud owner of a 1986 Toyota Bj74 turbo diesel Land cruiser Winched, lifted and locked Australian Rodney transmission valve body Next upgrade 4.88 diff gears and 35 inch tires.

Make sure to give lots of room around the trigger safety mechanism. Very important.

It's very personal thing when you buld your own rifle. Here is what works for me in my very simple builds. Boyds or equivalent laminated stock, semi inleted, you may wish to bed your stock, l have not found it nessary yet. Laminate stocks are super stable and durable and pleasing to my eye...

Oh, just one other thing. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

A thumb smasher. ;)

Fire sterile water shelter navigation first aid (D ABC RBS) medicine insect repellent (deet) shotgun knife flashlight Remember, the best equiment is the equipment that you have with you.

Boyds thumbhole is what I have on my 30-06, I really like it.

Thanks Longwalker I think l will stick with my mossberg.

I must admit I do an excellent fish and chips, I use my own homemade beer batter. Served with sea salt, malt vinigar, mushy peas and pickled onions. And Polish tyskie beer. The chips are chunky and golden brown.

I see, excuse my ignorance. I had to wiki to find out the meaning of "tautology". Thanks for your replie.

The spine and the vitals are not nessarilly exclusive in a shot. Gentlmen we have to somewhat agree to differ, thank you all for your generous replies.

Furthermore I have read that a shot to the spine is very humane, the trauma to the spinal cord sends messages directly to the brain causing a fast death. This to me makes sence as the spinal cord is attached to the brain.

I have made the shot on deer and bear when the situation lends itself to accurate placement. I hunt alone and I like to keep my recovery to a minimum, particularly when the animal is standing on the edge of a dense forest. When the bullet hits usally and inch or two below the spine it causes...

Sadly I can not speak of Africa ...

The vitals should always take a hit, spinal or not. With a good spine shot you can do both.

So when winchester advertise there pump as having a "ROTARY BOLT with four massive lugs provides strength and solid lockup", it's an inaccurate discription? http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/shotguns/sxp/sxp-ultimate-defender.html

Between the shoulder blade and the spine, usally makes them crumble on the spot. Saves on blood tracking. What do you think?

70 series land cruisers - rule Or maybe not. Your opinions please.

Shelf ammo, federal blue box. So easy to reload you should learn, it will change your accuracy for the better.

Curry and Guinness.

Don't know about what Courtney says, but I like mink oil for -40c to plus 40c.

Mr P, I'm digging your wonderful work.

I have noticed that winchester and benelli are using a rotary bolt design on there pump action shotguns, just curious for your opinions on the rotary design. Thank you.

I advise a one piece picatinny base with quick release scope rings. JB weld and red thread lock the screws to the scope base and the receiver and make it permanent. YMMV :)

I just wanted to add that at heart I'm a meat hunter, tho I do understand the conservation side of trophy hunting and I am in full support of it.

Then start with the hornady minimum load. And pull the trigger with a long peace of string. ;)

Don't know fore sure, it could be case capacity and bullet seating. But keeping bullet weight the same, physics surgests you should be fine, particularly if you start with a minimum load.

Yes, I will let you know. Cheers
