Does any of the Mauser 66 owners know the tightening torque of the action screws? A friend of mine, owner of a "stutzen" (fully stocked Mannlicher style) Mauser 66 broke the stock and replaced it with a new one. The rifle, that one was a tack driver, now spreads the bullets around. I saw the...

I am wondering why several manufacturers continue to use traditional screws (I am designed for a normal screwdriver) instead of Allen or Torx. The latter two are much better suitable to tightening with a torque wrench and, moreover, are less prone to damages. I realize that action screws with...

I would like to hunt again in Namibia before I am too old (I will be 80 in August). Can anybody tell me what is the Covid situation in that land?

I had good accuracy (3 shots in 30 mm at 200 m) with Barnes LRX - TSX-TTSX in 7 mm Rem. Mag., as wella as good terminal effect. One chamois doe ran about 80 m before collapsing, while many other aniamals (from roedeer to gemsbuck) fell on the spot or few steps away. On the other hand, I cannot...

Next July I’ll do my first and probably last (due to my age) hunting trip to South Africa. For budget reasons I chose a reduction hunt package: 1 Nyala, 1 Striped Wildebeest, 2 Impalas ,1 Warthog. I possess: 1 Weatherby Vanguard Sub MOA in 7 mm Rem. Mag., 1 Voere Titan in 7x64 and one CZ 550...

Hi there! I am the new boy (born in 1942) in the block. I've never been hunting in Africa (only business trips in the northern countries and Nigeria). I live in the Alps, in a small village close to the Austrian border, so close that every now and then we go shopping "abroad". The area is...
