For my purpose (I am primarily a hunter and seldom shoot at paper unless sighting in or developing a load) I am more interested in where my first shot goes and whether it is consistent day to day. I...

I reckon testing a rifles true accuracy is pretty difficult...with big groups you are testing the shooter's concentration and the rifles ability to cope with increasing heat and thermal expansion. On...

Over the last 11 years I've shot and found 284 deer with a dog helping or a dog with me. For 10 years it was Tilly the wirehair pointer (258). Now it's Bella the Lab. She's 14 months old and we have...

My little girl has shot a few goats now, and is doing pretty well. She really wants to get to deer. I'm not letting her until she has proved herself. However.. None of my rifles are really...

I would think a .223 would be a cost-effective and more reliable calibre at getting the job done. Would be keen to hear others experience of using .17HMR on wallabies. Not a huge difference in price...

150k is a larger service but not as big as a 90 or 180k. Every 2yrs or 30k its diff oils, fuel filter, and brake fluid. 150k additional bits from usual service is basically t/belt and coolant drain...

I have a rule when hunting solo. If it looks a bit dodgy, find a safer way. If this is not possible then turn around. It's not worth the risk.

Due to my line of work dictating regular location moves, I have spent most of my time hunting by myself, as it’s hard to gather a crew of hunting mates when you’re moving all the time. This roar I...

Be very unlikely for a genuine belt to break after 10yrs. Seen some that have done 25-30 and still looked mint. But the cost of a belt and tensioner vs an engine is quite different. I'd personally...
