Nice one, got to take the easy ones now and again. Got a couple of easy ones last Tuesday, didn't even have to shoot or gut them. The Bach owners in conjunction with DoC put in money to shoot...

Just returned home from an awesome trip to the lodge. Four days of mixed weather couldn't dampen the excitement after 12 months anticipation. Long story short, after waking I popped the rifle...

Ive seen that comment elsewhere. Trouble is, you open any un-opened gate to the public and you get mainly young stags being shot which does nothing for population control and ruins the potential of...

Coming to the same conclusions as you is what prompted me to start this thread . Barrel length and the performance you forfeit by lopping of multiple inches from the barrel is a topic that seems to...

i like the balance and pointability of a bare rifle. i just value my hearing more than the ergonomics.

Are you predominantly hunting I bush and broken country? if so then 8x42mm would be a good choice. If you do a lot of alpine & open country, then 10x42mm is a better option.

Another one for the mighty 223, this yearling look bigger from about 250m away because I didn't have anything to reference it against. Will taste delicious though. 198026

After using a 243 for 45 odd years, a year ago I invested in a 223. Over the last 12 months I have shot 7 assorted Sika, over 70 to 145 yards, not one has taken a single step. All with Hornady...
