    Safari boots and brands !!!

    My take on is if your a stalker and know how to walk quietly. It’s an art that you only get through a lot of practice. I would hazard a guess that anyone that knows how to get in close to take the shot will know what to look for in a boot. You can’t just go stomping about not looking where you...

    Will this locking ammo box be acceptable to the authorities ?

    Not for Africa it’s for a ferry company England to France. Company say’s original manufacturers boxes. I’d have liked to have seen how professional his print looks. Might need to see if anyone here has some old 7x57 boxes that they would like to part with.

    .375 should be banned from buffalo hunts!

    @Hunter-Habib that Guar in your pic looks a lot like a Jersey Bull just bigger. Dad used to get some Jersey bulls in to cover his friesian heifers. Trouble was they came from the back blocks of the coromandel peninsula with little human contact until they got loaded on a truck. We had one that...

    Loading your double

    Those speed loaders do look the part. My only concern with them is when you bend over they come off our going through the thick stuff they get hung up, or worse pull the ammo out of your pouch.

    Are we cleaning our guns to death?

    Yes I’ve heard some say that it creates an eddie effect our back draft. Which draws the carbon and gases in the suppressor back into the barrel. My view is that if you have a long shot string where the suppressor heats up then this will cause the carbon to bake on near the muzzle. Hence no long...

    375 H&H Muzzle Brake?

    Really just try it out first. It’s not that bad. Around the same as pulling the trigger twice on a 12g. Just a nice rolling push that puts a smile on your dial. Took my next door neighbour out on his 80th birthday for a few shots just for a laugh. He went through around 10 to 15 shots of PPU...

    Explain this: 270 wins the poll

    My first 2 rifles where a 270 Churchill followed by a CF2 BSA. Sold both because of the recoil. Yet I could shoot a Lee 303 no worries always felt that the recoil of the 270 was more a sharp slap where as the 303 was more a lovely shove. That being said I did not hesitate to hunt with a 270 when...
