    I don't know what makes a "true hunter" and not really interested either, but the OP makes a valid point. There is a gap between how hunting is portrayed on social media which is often relatively...

    Well said Husky. Hunting, and what a trophy is means something different to everyone. I’m a shepherd and everywhere I’ve worked over the years has had some hunting on it, some ok and some very good....

    I bought this rifle second hand in one of the local gun shops. From memory it was around AUD$900 with a silver Tasco 4-16x40 scope on it, which was OK during the day but terrible under the spotlight....

    Hermitage liked post by Jamesyd On thread : Fully suppressed 22…. Your thoughts please
    What about the Rossi 8122? RRP of $299, so wholesale would be even cheaper. I’ve owned one and shot 3-4 others, all grouped well within an inch at 50m with bulk ammo, triggers aren’t the best though,...
