    Chainsaws and those who use them

    As I remember lots of parts interchangeable with the Husky 266, I had both for a while, the Johnny wasn’t as reliable as a professional saw !

    Best bolt action .22lr?

    I’ve had them all & hard to go passed a Brno or CZ for pricing, build quality, solid mags & accuracy ! I have Brno Model 1 - 2 - 5 & CZ452/453 22LR 22mag & 17HMR Still have a few Annie’s & just sold my awesome KID 10/22 which is arguably one of the best Semi autos but lots of money here &...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    I was a logger for many years, in two different types of logging, started clear felling in Old Crop forest with a 090 Stihl 137cc running 404 chain, this is a proper saw, cut down a tree even if you put the chain on back to front lol Then went to 076 which was bit easier to handle, then moved...

    Cameras bring them or stick with phone

    Take a camera for sure, I have noticed in the las10yrs most clients only bring a phone but a camera should be included ! I drowned many cameras in the old days & dust has killed a few, then I got the Waterproof Tough line of Olympus cameras & last 10yrs have the Panasonic TZ60 TZ80 TZ95 with up...

    Looking for monkey skulls

    Yes I also collect skulls, CITES makes it difficult for international collectors as so much added hassle & paperwork, all Cats & all Primates are on at least CITES II so need export docs, most commonly found are Vervet Monkeys & Chacma Baboons from Southern Africa . I just returned from West...

    Want To Buy 6.5x53R dies

    Well done, but as you said 6.5x54 is just a rimless 6.5x53R, I use same load in all my rifles but advantage of 53R is you can use different projectiles easier, less feeding problems !

    Thoughts on this Double Rifle by the experts here?

    That’s a nice rifle & regulated ok with that load, May do better with load work ? While I love the .458Win it’s place is not in a Double Rifle, the price is reasonable being in CAD & I think it could possibly be rechambered to .450NE it would then be a very nice rig . Not too keen on the...

    90-year Veteran Of The Bush By Diggory Hadoke

    Are you Are you sure that’s a Screw Grip on the Midland, looks to just be a Dolls Head ? I have a couple Screw Grips & I think the top lever spindle is part of the deal & much closer to the “head” .

    Snake taxidermied in South Africa and imported to the US?

    Not my video but had a very similar thing happen to me ! I got a huge Python in Sumatra many years ago, can’t remember exactly but over 16ft you can hunt them in Florida I believe now ?

    Grand old rifle but probably never saw the inside of a Rigby workshop, most likely even engraved “Rigby” by Webley & Scott !

    Snake taxidermied in South Africa and imported to the US?

    Normally leave them alone unless around camp or a danger to staff . I’ve shot/whacked a fair few but have never been asked by a client if he could take one home ! Cool idea but when you try to kill a snake then it gets dangerous !

    Skull prep

    You are so right on that, we have 50% industrial grade in SA & will near take your fingers off, makes the boys very lazy, just get it near enough clean & the 50% will fix it up ! I have 30% & it’s good, wouldn’t leave anything in it overnight or too low. I did damage my eyes by pouring it on a...
