Some feedback on the Raptor Big Game Skinner. Used it to skin a sick hereford cow that was made into dog food. Gut hook part works well for opening up but needs something pointy to make the initial cut. Round side of blade works really well as a flayer. Takes a bit of getting used to after...

Hi Anyone use the old Gerber flayer? I have read somewhere that the owner could skin 2 moose with it without sharpening in between. Anyone use the Grohmann pelt skinner model G100 I believe Anyone use the new Raptor Razors. My son has bought a set but hasn't used them yet. They feel really...

Hi, Has anyone got one of these? Has anyone used one of these? What are the ballistics for this round? It is a 50 bmg necked down to 458? What does it work like on game? These are legal in Australia but a 50 bmg is not hence my interest. Thanks. hjl

Hi Natty Bumpo, Thank you for the reply. Semi auto's have been banned in Australia since 1996. I would love a AR 10 but I can't have one. Regards. hjl

Painkiller Hi ss7mm, Thanks for the test. Just to clear things up for me you used a 5 baffle brake? What are the prices for a 3 & 5 baffle brake? Have you or anyone else tested the JP Recoil Eliminator against the painkiller brakes? Do you think a 5 baffle or 3 baffle brake would be best...

Where would I get the best price & best service on a Burris Laser Rangefinding Scope 4-12 x 42 Ballistic Plex. One of site sponsers perhaps? I will need someone who can post to Australia. Thanks for the replys. hjl

Hi, Who makes a bolt action rifle that you can buy a 10 shot detachable box magazine in 308? I can't find any in the 2008 Remington catalog. Thanks for the replys. hjl

Thank you for the reply. I will have to save up for one of these. The only improvement on these that I can think of is target turrets. For my use I think the mil dot would work. Regards. hjl
