    In memoriam - Of A Fellow Forum Member @Major Khan Whom I Both Greatly Admired & Loathed

    H-H, you are a man of rare insight and compassion, and I greatly admire you for that. As an aside, I seem to remember you expressing an interest in a 600 Nitro Express double (maybe I'm totally confused, a not unusual situation). If so, I know of a near new Verney Carron, here in Australia that...

LaPierre's conduct has been observed here; we understand...

    Europe, the U K, the U S and Australia ALL have dense populations of "Arabic, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel populations" who are only too ready to disrupt and attack the "west" from inside. I wonder how many of them hold dual citizenships??

    In memoriam - Mr. Glock passed away

    Agreed; what he did was offer the (American) hunter/shooter reasonably priced, functional options. Without his intervention, I doubt that falling block rifles would be withing the financial aegis of most of us. For that, he deserves our thanks.

    Dual citizenship

    Can we please stop talking about "flat shooting" cartridges

    Just been looking at the new(ish) 6.8W; interesting concept for a short action build. My take on the idea is a Ruger No. 1 in 300WSM, 9" twist barrel, shooting the heaviest, high B C bullets I can find. Others have done it, in specific long-range target rifles, one of which I believe won a 1K...

    Further to my post on the Red Sea fleet, our Aussie government has denied the request for a ship to join the fleet, instead increasing the manning of our involvement from 5 to 16 personnel.

    9.3x62mm vs. .375 H&H Mag

    To my mind, the real comparison should be between the 375 H&H, and the later 9.3X64 (1927 - 1929 vintage; a MUCH closer match.

    A slight change of subject: Our wonderful leftist Aussie government has declined the invitation to join the Red Sea defensive fleet.
