   Here's my first crack at making a knife, nowhere near as good as what you fellas are making. My metal work is rough but I think that suits the "reclaimed" sheep shear aspect and the blade is plenty...

   Cheers mate. I suspected as much. Smiths would prefer not to drill and tap these because of the hardening. If your mate would ever consider selling, please let me know? I absolutely adore...

   from .22lr to .308 or 300 blk? first question should be what to you want to hunt and what ranges? Depending on the range i don't see much need for anything more than .223 or 7.62x39 for under 200...

    Hi, welcome! For my 2c worth, if you’re a beginning larger game hunter, the .308 offers the convenience and ease of availability of ammunition, and the effective range it gives you. It’s a good...

    Subsonic 300BLK is fine for well placed head and neck shots, but it can also be done with .308. There are even 1 or 2 factory rounds available. Just be aware that you need a fast twist barrel for...
