Not hunting, but "full bore target rifle" shooting. I am a "B grade" competitor. Some years back I managed to shoot 47/50 and 48/50 at 900 yards on a day of steady, quite heavy rain. Rainfall for the day was just on 2 inches. None of the 70 (or more?) competitors reported any issues with other...

"Off Season" Sorry ... Just ... what is that ... exactly?

I always figured I'd have enough for about two years shooting ... turns out I did have ... Well;- at least I have a chance to dust off the shelves now, and using up all of that odd little collection of random components left over from last century

Always been a "long range" shooter/hunter, for the simple reason that the area I grew up in and learned to hunt were predominately sparsely vegetated wide open spaces, with little to no available cover.

just when ya think ya seen and heard everything ... ...

I have all my gear out in the shed. Have purposefully left the shed looking kinda daggy, kinda thing that you'd store some garden tools and other assorted sheet ... no-one in their right mind would have guns and ammo stashed in there.

yeah can only be that. Shot me a big Tom a couple years back that didn't let a 150 grainer from a 300 win mag get through! At home they may well be some-ones liddew iddy biddy kitty, but out in the wild, where they do not belong, they need to be dispatched immediately !!

hmmm ... I have 3 favourites ... depending on location and what's gunna be in the sights. Ruger 77/44; Rem700 in .300 sav Martini Cadet in .32 win spec.

Martini Cadet. Built initially for Army Cadets in UK, Australia and Canada in .310 Calibre. Later converted to almost every smaller case both centrefire and rim-fire. (with apologies for the grave-dig)
