Picked up a few knives in a recent trip to Japan. Pretty cool be able to find ashi hamono off the shelf as they are basically impossible to find these days. Also hard not to pick up a higonokami when...

I was out culling rabbits last night and about midnight I heard the first plaintive roar drift across the Reikorangi valley. Reikorangi is about 100 - 150 meters above sea-level and got close to a...

Love this thread. Saved up and bought an Argali tent a year or so ago, and a Serac knife snuck in on the order. Couldn't afford it now, pricing has gone through the roof (think the States has a...

257R is a very capable cartridge for NZ, but you need to be a reloader that's for sure. I shot all my best animals of a 15+ year period with mine and only sold it on as I got hooked on 6.5mm stories...

Was a favorite of mine a few years ago, had a couple of improved also. The late Tony Hawkins rebarreled a Browning BAR for me in standard 257R, sold it prior to the "buy back" so didn't have to hand...

So this trip was towards the end of spring. Having had some luck seeing animals on day trips in the general area I decided an overnighter would probably give me more chance at success. With a couple...
