    A lovely old gun and in very nice condition. I am envious! It should be just the goods for a scrub bull. I shot one in the back of North Loburn over 50 years ago with my .318 Nitro Express Vickers...

    Bushpig is quite an acceptable term in certain situations, check out the "Bubba, what have you done thread?"

    I just wanted to bring attention to the trend of referring to a shortened down hunting rifle as a bush pig. 269065 I'm not sure where people got this "BushPig" fad from, but enough's enough now,...

    Another couple of options are the Packmayr Decelerator and a new entry on the market is the Backfire Backstop pad.
