Just finished loading up some .222 for a BSA Majestic too.

I have got your copy of Pack and a Rifle, from July 1971.
If anyone knows him.

[QUOTE=Seventenths;831193]In that case I have two vixens... an L461 & an A1 :thumbsup:

They are both L461 Vixens.
"A1" is only an action length designation.


Tanqueray, your rifle is...

I like that idea.

You possibly should have read the whole thread.

What on earth is going on? Nobody has posted anything negative regarding the Toby Memorial Shoot.

Tim hasn't been around since earlier this...

There is a back story, but its a fictional one. I'm just the writer; it's not about me.

Under Mountain Light



Wild Jim came down from the hill, came down bent and white,
He had spent his life under southern mountain light
No more creeks to cross on frozen morning, under a...

Same rifle. A Sako Vixen is an A1.

53 grain TSX's will not stabilise. Too long. Or put it this way, it gave me around two inch groups, and I did shoot a deer with one anyway.
The Barnes 50 grain TSX, (not the plastic tipped TTSX)...

I once was in the Blue mountains, and sneaked round a corner with my Swedish Mauser, and a black deer stood up and stared at me from three metres away. I had my rifle pointed in his direction as it...

I wondered about that. the ones with the safety I thought were coming from Gun City, which was bringing them in from United States (who get the safety ones for lawyer reasons) Whereas Ampro were...

Who imports these now? Ampro used to be the distributor, but they don't list them on their website anymore,

They are not "set" at any range. The sights are adjustable.

IF you have a blade for a front sight (and not a bead), the easiest solution is just to file it down a bit.

I have had three Rossi 92' s over the years and I think they are great. The one I have...

The Rossi Lever actions have adjustable sights, (the same as the Winchester 1892 it is copied from). The rear sight controls elevation and the front sight is driftable left and right for windage. (Or...

The intention of this calibre restriction has nothing to do with qualifying what firearm may be used for deer hunting, DOC do not care what we shoot deer with and this exclusion is not a direction...

The .44-40 and black powder works just fine so the .44 Mag and the .357 have to be better. (This was the smallest one; the others were mature animals and I get complete pass throughs with it.) The...

The best emergency firelighter you can have is a bic lighter frankly. They always worked for me. I also take some inner tube , but that's not for emergencies, I use it all the time.
Space...

I wouldn't call the .243 a barrel burner. I suppose a dedicated target shooter might worry about barrel burners. If it's a hunting rifle, I wouldn't even worry about it.
I used to use 2209 and the...

I think its tempting to go overboard with a first aid kit, and then have a bunch of stuff to carry your never going to use. The only events I have experienced or been involved with out in the bush...

I used to have a recurring nightmare about cutting myself with my knife when doing a deer. For some reason I always seem to be in a hurry. It's getting dark, not sure how to get back etc.

I have only remembered now that I have had 4 x on all my scoped rifles for so long I must have got used to them. Even shooting paper I am doing as well as I did with a scope on 9x. Or so I imagine....

Its so old its body has worn off.

I should get my .22 our more. It is a 1950's Soviet Toz. It is a bloody good rifle and quite accurate with Minimags in particular. I can feel a Hare Safari coming on.

Good story and well written.
