    Best (temporary) method to raise rifle comb

    No, picture borrowed from the site of a more gunsmith. This way of solving the problem with scopes and low stocks are quite common here. Luckily, I have not been infected with the combinationgunneedtohave virus. Yet..

    Remington 700 as a safari rifle anyone?

    I have had a m98 rip the case rim off a case, ergo the m98 is useless.. (Actually, the only rifles i have had issues with extraction with is m98s).

    HAS ANYONE EVER TAKEN A SHIP

    The "standard" of a new merchant vessel today is WAY behind anything built 30years ago. Claiming anything else just shows one has no idea of the subject. Latest move for general cargo ships is returning to common bathrooms for the crew. It is all about reducing cost of both building and operation.

    HAS ANYONE EVER TAKEN A SHIP

    The orange crate is for real, I was maybe 1 year old. My mother with 2 kids sailed along onboard the ship where my father was Captain.

    HAS ANYONE EVER TAKEN A SHIP

    Working in the shipping industry for close to 35 years and have only one comment; do not pay in advance.. To see how a modern cargo ship looks like-watch "Captain Phillips". "Owners cabin" and such is long gone in shipping, the owner is an investment fund that probably do not that they own a...

    What have you actually had stolen getting to, coming from or on safari?

    Blaser R93 Revisited

    I love the way an R93 handles and shoots, it is close to perfect. I have shot double on red deer (and had started squeezing the trigger on the 3rd animal before I remembered I also had to deal with transport and butchering; I cant even remember reloading the rifle!). But I will never buy one, I...

    PHASA hearing results

    Do we really want a world where one complaining customer shuts down a business? The decision from PHSA is fair, 2 year probation. More complaining clients and he is probably out the door. ps-One of my big learnings from hanging on this forum is stay the h..l away from free/donated hunts....

    9.3x57 to 9.3x62

    Why not look at how 9,3x57 is loaded by European users today (for use in Blasers etc)? And spend the money on bullets and powder?

    Favorite Non-alcoholic drink

    Works is relative, for its uses, in a city, daily commute/gofor, the shorter local drives; electric vehicles are an excellent choice, and they work as they should. Charing, as an example-a Tesla model 3 takes 15-30 minutes; and while it charges you go buy some snacks and drinks etc. And no, I...

    "Lighter Politics" Humour

    Yes, thats the way it is. European politics are getting more and more absurde day by day, if you do not take part in the 2-minute hate (who is to be hated varies. ) you are a far right extremist.

    Avoiding CTE, brain damage, retina injury etc with big bore rifles ?

    Do not overdue it; do 98% of your shooting with small/mediumbore. It is better for your shooting, your body and your wallet. Do all bigbore shooting sitting (at the bench or on your..) or standing. And get yourselves proper noise protection, the $9,99-stuff is not proper. My minimum is Peltor...

    Norway Caribou/Reindeer Hunt

    Keep on mind that the successrate for a reindeer hunt is low. 20-30% of those who get a tag get their animal. Someone offering a guided hunt for sure has more success but there is really no guarantee. You might end up with memories of a week of fog, wet sleeping bags and world-class blisters...

    Ethiopian Airlines - Anxiety in Addis Abada

    Good luck finding a shipping company that actually takes passengers on a cargo ship.. And when you find some of the nice sites offering this service, pay in full at once, scammers like it that way!
