    Thanks very much for the info on this kukri! :) I think I'll print out the names/descriptions you've given me and hang the knife on the garage wall.

    Nope, no markings anywhere. From some research it seems it is an old Indian Kukri, rather than a Nepalese one. The small versions are to be used as a pen knife ‘sort of’ (the sharp one) and the blunt...

    Hi all,
    I recently found this kukri when going through my grandfather's stuff. I don't know anything about it; looks a bit "touristy" but it must be quite old (as he died before I was born).

    I have had a nostalgic period, and so dug out some of my uncles old knives. Two of my favourite below; the Frosts Laminated is now my go-to hunting knife; the edge it holds is just unreal, and it's...

    What XR500 says, plus 4x MaxTrax. I use the MaxTrax to get myself out, and my winch is generally to get others out. Maxtrax are brilliant things.

    Thanks again for the comments and thoughts.

    I ended up putting the Leupold on the sako 243, Nikon on the sako 22, the Tasco on the older 22, and the Minolta spare. The 223 kept its old Bushnell. ...

    Thanks all, some good insight and suggestions here. So the question seems to be the Leo or Nikon for the sako 243 (my main rifle). The 223 has an old Bushnell, but it's been very good and consistent...

    Thanks for that. TBH I had never heard of Minox of Nikon doing scopes - shows how little I browse the stores I guess. The Minox is stamped Germany, but has a really free-turning parralax ring which...

    Thanks guys for all the welcomes. It's nice to see a few locals up here - I'm quite new in Auckland to yet find anywhere to shoot locally. Even after 25 years away in the UK I can still wander around...

    Hi All,
    Like many in lockdown it's made me want to get back into hunting, and this forum is proving such a fantastic resource.
    I grew up on a farm in Otago, shooting bunnies, pigs, goats, and...
