    Here's a photo showing a blue Svord Peasant with a ring added for extra grip. The sheath knife with the orange handle is a Svord Trapper. This is much better for dealing with pigs compared to the...

    A bit of string tied to the hole is a good idea, especially if the knife isn't one of the bright-coloured ones. At one stage I had a small key ring in the holes of a couple of mine. I felt they...

    I have the fixed blade Svord Trapper with the bright orange handle. The sheath it came with seemed a bit crappy, so I made one out of a bit of alkathene pipe which I heated in the oven. It is a...

    I fitted a GCL compact 4 x 32 scope to the Bergara (thanks to Gonetropo). I was surprised and delighted to find that the open sights do not appear in the image I see through the scope. This scope...

    CORRECTION: In the post above I stated incorrectly that my maximum point blank range for shooting at a two inch circle is 75 yards. I checked the table I generated with the Federal Ballistics...

    Thanks for the interesting and encouraging comments. Dunno what my next rifle should be. I really like the .357 magnum calibre, although I need to have a few more successful hunts with it just to...
