    Rex Forester said that he liked a well used rifle and didn't worry about the external look. So long as when he opened it it was slick and oiled and the insides were looked after.

    I'm the same. Tools to be used. They need their badges of courage and rites of passage. But always dried and oiled after use. Blue or stainless.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    I have just bought an immaculate Steyr Mannlicher in .30-06 with 40 rounds fired. I’m going to use it for target shooting and the odd hunt, but it will stay in the safe for West Coast missions. Rain and scrub would be too much for such a lovely thing.

    I haven’t taken possession yet as I am still waiting for my Aus firearms licence. These are pics from the dealer.
