Another one finished. Built on a 1908 Enfield No1 mk3*. This one got a lovely oiled short (12.5") walnut stock I have been saving and a few brass accents. Metalwork finished in midnight blue...

Well I have rings and decided a period "correct" vx1 3-9 seeing the rifle was made in 1990. It's a shooter, 3 rounds to zero then 5 into 3/4 in at 100 yds. True to form someone always tries to...

Haven’t put up any posts etc for a while so thought I’d talk about the last few trips I’ve done this summer in the Ruahines. The first trip was an overnight volunteer trip into the Northern...

None of my bushing dies and that includes Redding, an expensive Whidden, and a almost as expensive Wilson, give satisfactory, to me, runout. In fact they even induce runout which despite using a...

I shoot the 50gr TTSX with my 1:14" 220 Swift and they're fantastic on deer. I pull the tips out which is very easy. Fantastic deer combination! 187078

My current trot with 53gr Barnes on all deer is simply amazing. Forgot how effective a pill and deadly it was to shoot. Just mows them down. Hardly any sound with the DPT.

Dry conditions left me frustrated on my last goat hunt. Every footstep through dried leaves was painfully noisy. I spooked two animals and came away with nothing. Usual caveat, I know goats can be...

Hi guys, We traded a 6 month old boar for a "giant" boar for the freezer, the pork stinks, and tastes like it smells. But being part Dutch, it will not go to waste, we don't have a dog, so that's...

Another bucket of 100+ year old war horse parts turned into a 1940s 45acp Delisle Commando carbine. This replica is pretty close to the real deal and took many hours of work. There was a couple of...

Inspired by Bagheera's recent post, thought I'd write about yesterday's goat hunt. As you know, we are not blessed with great hunting in Northland. No deer, just pigs and goats. DOC blocks are...
