    Your own double rifle

    OK here’s the thing, when I win the lottery, one of the things I’m going to do is buy a game ranch, and the second is buy you a double rifle of your choice. Because I like you so much I’m also going to offer you a free 12 animal hunt (for non dangerous game) on my ranch. But you can only use...

    Bush baby

    I just picked up another rifle, a No.4Mk1 Enfield in .303 Epps that has been sporterised. It still has the original butt stock but the fore-end has been chopped and trimmed, the original iron sights have been removed and a set of Williams sights fitted to the barrel. I must say it looks quite...

    7,62x39 on game

    I have noticed lately a number of people here in South Africa, advocating the use of the 7,62x39 (.30 Russian) on game animals. Some even going so far as to suggest that it is nearly ideal as a bushveld (brush/woods) calibre, for game up to and including Impala/Reedbuck (Warthogs?) – game up to...

    Shooting females

    How many of you guys shoot females? (I mean female animals – I know most of us know of at least one real b*#$%h we’d love to shoot, not to mention a certain Saudi extremist !) Is there a still feeling around that it is not ‘cool’ to shoot the females of a species, or has the principles of game...

    Dispair at wounding

    Well I just returned from my hunting trip – hunting for my own table fare and biltong - and I am not the same man I was when I left. For the first time in nearly 22 years of hunting I have lost an animal, a wounded animal left to die, and I am truly distressed by it. I need some help here guys...

    Questions - help

    O.K. Guys help me out here, Turkey hunting, what’s the game here. I see in the U.S. magazines that we get out here, adverts and articles on Turkey hunting. Here are my assumptions from the little bit I’ve been able to read: Turkey must have very keen eyesight, hence the need for absolute...

    Shots that weren't

    Don’t know if this has been done before, but there must be some great ‘missed shot/wrong shot’ stories out there. Let me start. About eight years ago I started handgun hunting with a T/C in 7TCU. On it’s first trip out I came upon a group (sounder?) of Warthogs – a mother with some large piglets...

    25-06 and 270 - R.I.P.

    Friends and myself were discussing the merits of various cartridges, great fun. So with just a little tongue in cheek, here’s what the majority of us suggest: The 6,5-06 should be legitimised and commercialised – Remington/Hornady are you listening ! We should drop the 25-06, which is really...

    Bullet preferences

    When it comes to non-premium bullets what are your preferences and why ? · I have almost always used Hornady, I find them generally accurate and they hold together quite well, when used sensibly. · The common thought is that Sierra are very soft (although accurate) and cannot be depended on...
