In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

Thanks very much 425schade for bringing up that invoice….. So need to add to that work for receiver /bolt face conversion from 375 to 404j + 3 position safety…. PS would they discount the GST for “cashie “ Sorry… old habits die hard!

So Equal to a 9.3x….?

What’s with this 35 whelen I keep hearing about???? Cheeeze

Well I’ve added a Mauser 98 in 6.5x55 and that Brno 602 to my arsenal (this forum is bad influence) Had planned on going this year to SA with a South African guy I met at work…he has family back home with some hunting connections…. Well you guessed it…. Bloody Covid …. Had almost sent me...

Yeah nice, Finding a used 404j CRF is pretty much impossible…

Pm sent

It’s a 375 well used…. So decided to rebarral to 404j….haven’t got a clue of the cost…. But reading through this forum doesn’t seem to expensive for this work in the US , hopefully it’s comparable here, doesn’t seem anyone in OZ rebores barrels? Not looking to build a wall flower…keeping the...

Have no probs with paying up front for parts…. main concern is finding a smith that has worked on cz/Brno Mauser type receivers and also to replace that awkward safety with 2/3 position safety Cheers

Thanks very much ,I’ll definitely get onto them…..just one more thing if yous don’t mind……is it up to me to supply the parts ie barrel, sites etc Cheers

I’m in ACT/NSW , I’m happy to send anywhere in Australia to get the job done….with no headaches …

G’day all, Planing on going to SA next year…I have a zkk602 which I’d like to convert to a 404j so looking for a gunsmith in Australia that can do this job for me….. so any first hand recommendations would be very very much appreciated Cheers

G’day Geoff, Mate, I noticed you purchased a rifle from overseas.... can you tell me the procedure of importing a rifle to Australia from a private seller? Cheers AGNK

Thank you very much gentlemen...one other thing I’d like your thoughts on....something that’s been bugging me for a very long time... Referring hunting as a ‘sport’ or recreational sports ...that term never sat well with me.... just can’t see the correlation...that’s probably just me I guess...

YouTube is probably not a good place to start....but apparently there are some big name hunters mentioned on this forum that have YouTube channels....I’m happy to be corrected... I’m not computer savvy.... had my daughter show me how to use YouTube...

don’t jump to conclusions....I’m all for having PH’s, trekkers , skinners and so forth.... just like a little more involvement in the hunt rather than the PH doing all the hunting and even setting the shooting sticks for you...

don’t get me wrong, I understand the value of the local PH who knows the lay of the land and to find game but once that has been accomplished surely the the client may have the opportunity to actually take over the hunt ....that is the hunt! ....But if the PH hands it to you on a...

I’ve been hunting since I was 14 (now 62)most all my hunts have been solo and with hunting mates or local hunters...not PH’s.. I’ve hunted mainly in OZ , red dear , Sambar, Rusa , etc ...some hunting in EU and few hunts in NZ...now looking towards Africa.... but.... I can only go by what I...

Will do...thanks

Thanks...think you nailed it...seller said it has a 24” barrel? Looks like he got his measurements wrong

Well I’m looking at one that’s for sale...the seller says it’s made in USA with CRF safari express . year of manufacture around 2010 unfired NIB , with the limited photo’s that was sent to me I noticed that there was no barrel band but a swivel post on the stock?

G’day all, In what year did Winchester introduce the ‘barrel band’on the M70 safari express?

RANCE SAFARIS Cheers

I will be going with a business acquaintance I met through work....I relative of his works in the South African public service but also works part time as a PH

I’m frilled to say the least to be in the market for a new firearm, I think the last purchase I made was in 96 ...it was a beretta 682 ... that year was when I was forced to surrender my Remington 1100 semi auto when the government introduced new draconian gun laws in this country

G’day Doc, Hunting stories? Here in Aus? Well in my younger years did fare bit of pig shooting with dogs ....if you remember back in the late 70s there was a bounty for Fox pelts ...25 to 30 dollars each ...good pocket money to help pay hunting expenses...got into deer shooting up down the east...

.....always the hunters take the blame and the corrupt go on their merry way! This was in Australia...in the national capital (Canberra)

Well doing this unconventionally so to speak.... I have a business acquaintance who has migrated from RSA and is returning to see relatives....one of his relos apparently is a part time PH and knows quite a few properties....so basically he told me to write up a wish list of game I would like...

Fascinating stories of hunting in old India, please do not stop as I’m addicted! On a side note...... You and Sargeant Rahman mentioned in one of your earlier posts that in 1972 the Indian Government confiscated hunting trophies from the general public? Well....back between 1978-81 I was...

G’day all, Long time lurker of this site and what a great hunting forum it is!!!....so I’ve decided to jump in! Some back ground...I’m on the wrong side of 60, am from the land of “down under” (Australia) Been hunting since 12, have a small amount of hunting utensils...22 hornet,243, 270...
