    SHOTGUN: o/u or pump?

    Because a semi can not fire "less lethal" rounds. I was trained with a pump and Love shooting a pump. Problem is a pump is realy not well suited to the shooting sports where you need that quick second shot. Can be done and in fact I have done it but you are at a disadvantage. Today's semis are...

    SHOTGUN: o/u or pump?

    I spend alot of time behind a 12 gauge. I currently own a Beretta a400 and a Remington 870. Both have been customised to fit me. FIT IS EVERYTHING IN SHOTGUN SHOOTING. I repeat SHOTGUN FIT IS THE ALPHA AND OMAGA. Send me a pm and I shere my two cents worh. Reliability of a good semi is better...

    Snakes!

    Fact. A few years ago while hunting in april in the all days area I made a comment to our groep that we need to be careful as it was still hot and thus that snakes were still very active. I was then "informed" by one our "experienced and trained" party members that I need to relax and that he...

    Pump Action or Semi Auto to hunt the world

    Why? If it is the 10 000 round part I also dont believe it. I am 1000 rounds sovar and impressed but I doubt 10000 is a achievable goal. I am not bad mouthing the 1100. I love the gun. It took me to nationals.

    The idee of a 215gr RN bullet just make sense. My 303 is a working rifle. Synthetic stock and ceracoated. One day i will have a manlicher style stock made. I realy like the short barrel martini carbine that i fondeld at the dealer. The 215gr bullet that i am experimenting with has to be seated...

    Pump Action or Semi Auto to hunt the world

    Especially if it is a rem 1100 with all those sharp corners in the receiver. That gun has been properly blooded both on doves and my own. I am running a torture test on the A400. So far i am at 400 rounds without cleaning. Going to the freestate next month for a week of dove and pigeon shooting...

    11-87 feeding issue

    If your magazine spring is weak it does not trip that thing that you circled and it wil lock open as if empty.....

    11-87 feeding issue

    Yes mine broke. I had one made out of steel as Remington and the local agents refused to help me but usually it is a failure to engage that littel tab on the trigger group. It needs a strong magazine spring to overcome recoil aswel as that "tab". Wish I coulf import it somehow

    Pump Action or Semi Auto to hunt the world

    I have only seen a 3,5 inch shell once and never a 3 inch. We just dont use them in SA. I do use the heavy 42gram gamebore no3 on spurwing geese and want to try a heavy pellet (aaa) this year. We use standard 2 3/4 inch 70mm shells. 34grams of no4 or no3 kills even though gamebirds like...

    Pump Action or Semi Auto to hunt the world

    Legalities aside I would choose my berreta a400 above any shotgun. I find myself doing more and more shotgun shooting these days and i just love my a400 having owned pumps,a300,m2 and a Remington 1100 aswel as a s/s and o/u. Would love to get a berreta Silverpigeon 5 one day.

    .303 British, good for nothing or classic African cartridge?

    Wil do. I am reluctant to spend alot more on the rifle. It already has a extensive list of work done. If i can get it to group under 2moa with that bullet doing about 2100 fps I wil be more than satisfied. I have other rifels more suited for longer range hunting so i don't need to push the...

    SHOTGUN: o/u or pump?

    Stay away from the SAPS issue berreta rs200. It is a POS. Also stay away from the new Remington 870s. Mine has given me hell. Get a Mossberg 500 or even better a Winchrster sxp. I love semis and shoot a berreta a400. Love that gun. Was hell getting a licence.

    11-87 feeding issue

    My Remington 1100 does the same if the trigger group gets gumed up or the magazine tube spring is warn out. Try a new magazine tube spring and spray off the built op grime with carbarator cleaner. The stuff they used before cars came out with injectors.

    .303 British, good for nothing or classic African cartridge?

    I have seen one of those. I have also seen lee enfields conversions in 22lr and 22 hornet. Another popular conversion is the 6mm musgrave. Basically a 303 necked down to 6mm.

    Plains Game rifle choice... Am I crazy???

    375 ruger is a exelent calibre. I am on my second one. A hawkeye african but owned a howa before. Shot many kudu,warthog eland, bluewildebeest and even impala with my first 375 ruger. Exceptional eland and blue wildebeest caliber! Just stay away from the older hornady dgx factory ammo(non...

    Snakes!

    The puff adder population has as far as I could establish been wipped out in my area due to predation from snouted cobras. A 2m snouted cobra is the norm. I shoot between 5 to 15 per year inside my house. Outside the house I leave them be.

    .303 British, good for nothing or classic African cartridge?

    I realy love that round. I bought alot of the same lott years ago when i found them to shoot 1-2 moa in my rifle and I then decided that when they are shot up I will work up a load. I have around 40 rounds still left and decided to work up a load as my 375 ruger is currently without a scope and...

    7x57 bullet choices

    I picked up my 7x57 mauser this week after waiting for the licence since September. I have spent a lot of time thinking about it and i have decided on the 162gr hornady interlock as a "all round" hunting/ competition load. I don't like the the idea of multiple loads for a rifle. I believe in one...

    .303 British, good for nothing or classic African cartridge?

    I love my old bsa lee enfield. The action is o so smooth. There was a time when it was my only rifle and with careful shot placement I have taken eland with her. I found 180gr Winchester power point factory ammo to perform above my expectations and thus never handloaded for the old girl. I am...
