    It looks like it's a Datyon Traister, these are still available. The one I have is a three lever target type and would be overkill for a sporting rifle, not to mention it'd require an alteration to...

    zimmer liked post by Branxhunter On thread : Sako L461 in .17-222
    I originally bought this rifle to be the basis of a .20-222 build. Picked it up for AUD$600. Was an old roo shooters rifle and had done some hard yards over the years. The .223 barrel had no rifling...

    zimmer liked post by NewbieZAR On thread : Do expensive dies make better ammunition?

    zimmer liked post by 6x47 On thread : In ear hearing protectors - Recommendations
    Sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree there. For std shoulder-fired arms, air conducted ( ie through the ear canal) sound is what does the damage. Bone conducted sounded is irrelevant as there...

    zimmer liked post by norsk On thread : The Lever Aficionados Thread
    No feathers ruffled here. I think the "Hi-power" was with reference to the magazine capacity no the cartridge. Although 9x19 was pretty pokey compared to alot of other pistol and revolver cartridges...

    Nice little 94/22 XTR I bought recently. It's been chopped and threaded,first year of production back when Winchester made nice stuff. It will be a good way to introduce my daughter to .22s

    I’m glad the OP had a good outcome here, a really really good lesson for newly minted licencees. Don’t use your FAL as ID in situations (non firearm stuff) where it will be recorded and kept on...
