That's a mighty fine looking hawk. The fact that it is dead I mean. They should be on the Pest Free 2050 list along with cats. People who don't live in their (hawks) environment don't realise how...

Having made leather sheaths for a number of years I can assure you it will take alot to rip it so probably wouldn't worry about it too much Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk

Personally I would leave it, unlikely to rip, could also put in ya day bag if you carry one. Worst case you could just stitch over the cut, but leather is tough to rip Sent from my SM-S911B using...

Something a bit different today... Growing puha in the vege garden... I reckon that if it grows like a weed, doesn't need spraying, then why not put it in the garden? So far; the seedlings...

I've always been tempted to try eating possum, and the one I shot was super fat! But.... every time I skin one their smell puts me off. So I've never been brave enough! Oh; and I guessed the cooked...

Cooked a possum during the first lockdown - boredom got the better of me. Initially it was going to be for the dog, but smelt so good I ate the back legs. Very nice. Was a youngish female though -...

The best time to hunt the tops is when you can. It is just awesome being up there.

Let your binos do the the walking... Try and get above the animals if possible. Resist the temptation to walk on top of the ridge, sky lining yourself. Watch out for Spaniard grass [emoji3] Enjoy...

Glad you kept a track of what and who to you did your ' financing ' with. For a long long time as a single centerfire rifle owner I followed a similar path. If I could get back to the 700 Classic...

Yeah the diameter of the barrel is what matters. From a mechanical perspective, the best thread to use is the fattest one you can use that still gives a good shoulder for the suppressor to tighten up...

dannyb is spot on. I've threaded all my own barrels, the 7mm-08 had a 18mm barrel so I went with M14x1. For and for my .22 rimfires I used the more old fashioned 1/2*20UNF as they only had 15mm...
