After finishing my compulsory military service, I needed a break from hunting two legged problem animals, so I headed north. I had no responsibilities or family to report to so I headed to the bush. Zimbabwe to be exact. One of my mates who spent his time with me in the military had family in...

I am having a hard time understanding exactly how this is supposed to be. Some manufacturers will stipulate regulation at 50m or yards others(often German)70 meters or yards and then others with smaller calibers will stipulate regulation at 100....so what exactly does this mean? Does it mean...

The freezer is running low on game meat, so we decide to replenish it with some warthog meat. Salami, russians, cheese grillers and cabanossi is on order. This will be an "exploratory" hunt as we have never been to this farm. It is a open farm(not high fenced all around and is mixed game and...

I have been thinking about a Bergstutzen rifle for a while. It makes for a interesting hunting rifle concept but, I cannot find any information on the internet with regards to sighting in. The Bergstutzen has two different calibers in the same barrel set. The Krieghoff Bergstutzen has some form...
