I run the Bergara B13 takedown in .308 and 16” barrel. DPT suppressor and cheap 3x9x40 scope on it. Zeros in at 100m and will shoot almost through the same hole on the target it’s a real little tack...

A well known lightweight bolt action in 6.5 creed, 7mm08 or 308 with a 16 to 18 inch barrel dpt or similar can, and a vx3 2.5-8 is about perfect to me. Another plug for the kimber hunter. Awesome...

Best rifle to build a bush gun from is something cheap, ideally as thin a profile as possible to reduce snags eg, monte carlo or similar style stock, flush fit/internal mag, recessed or shrouded mag...

Go wide for comfort and decent r value for warmth. As you get older you need warmer too. The weight penalty isn't much for what you get in return. Sent from my SM-A226B using Tapatalk

This has been brilliant so far. Keeps the dog toasty warm at camp and during the night he doesn't try and get in my bag or sit there shivering which means I get a good night's sleep. On sale cost me...

Always liked carrying a M94 in the bush, very easy to snake through the scrub and tree-fall holding it with one hand around the lever. Not really enough legs for out in the open, but hard to beat in...

Howa superlite 308, 14.5" barrel, Vixen 2-8, weighs 2.45kg all up, good wee shooter and still puts the factory 150gr superformance out at 2750fps so good for 350 easy. If they made a floorplate for...

I really like the Bergara Extreme hunter in .308 Cerakoted to protect from rusting in your hands when you're in the damp bush. Leupold VX 3-9x40 zeroed at 100m and drives tacks with factory...

Rossi R92 in 454 Casull. 10" barrel with a 2x Leupold M8 (for looks). The lever action carries nice in the bush. Shoots 240gr at 2200fps. I also use a 300BLk with a 1.5-5x scope. Short rifles...

I've had heaps of different "bush rifles" over the years - half a dozen open-sighted lever actions, a chopped, scoped and suppressed lever action, open sighted bolt actions, a scout rifle,...

Can of worms. In the past I've owned (and foolishly sold) two rifles that were just about perfect. The BLR as snapper ator has shown above but in .308 fitted with low weavers and low power scope was...

I've started training Rosie on pheasant hunting. I thought I would start by getting her to read this Rod & Gun article. 259029 It takes her a long time to read one page!
