See the time lag between your first and most recent post and i can relate to it. I ordered 2 204s, a light varmint and a heavy. While waiting I tried target shooting so needed to get a BR rifle and drop one of the 204s. All the bits were here for the light one but I like heavy barrels, if I could on...

my frantic run down the hill interrupted the back strap extraction as the big mob took precedence. My mate ended up stinking of camel fat for nothing!

The route from the southern states to Darwin in the Northern territory was travelled with camels. The railway that replaced them is called the Ghan after the Afghan camel drivers who were imported to run these camel trains. Once the railway came the camels werent needed and were simply let go (along...

Not much point calling me, I'd love to chat of course, but I was the passenger, you need the guide!

Guys, i just went on a week trip into the outback to cull feral animals. I know a lot of you like photos so i posted the whole story (from my local board if you dont recognise the names). Its in the Big Game section. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you dont check in that section very much...

I met some new friends on my local board and hooked up for a feral animal cull in the deep outback where city people dont usually go. This is the story posted on the local forum. I hope horse lovers dont get upset but those featured in this story (known as Brumbies) are really and truly wild and con...

if only it was legal to own one here!

Well done Skipper. My son just couldnt close the correct eye, he kept trying to look across the stock to use the further away eye. He just wont try if he thinks he's no good. Its been 18mths since he has been to the range but I am pleased to say he came with me yesterday. Now at age 11 his coordinat...

all with the 39BK, some times no noticable exit, other times open heart surgery!

Hakko are a Japanese company. I believe they are the factory that manufactures other companies scopes. They put a line of their own out some time back. very good scopes. They dont anymore. I have heard they let quality control issues become a problem but know nothing factual.

its a Hakko 3-12 x 50 Tactical with a Mil dot reticle

Another post I made on our local board copied to share the photos with my US buddies Time to head up the north East rolled round quickly. Today was booked in my diary but by Friday no appointments had been made in the Albury office, so by the end of the day it read GanG (I used his real name :wink: ...

Skipper, I can honestly say the 204 gave me the accuracy bug, can you guys remember some of my dumb reloading questions. I remember early on getting a stern talking to from some senior members as i didnt even have verniers. I learnt how too right here. I've just neck turned my first set of 17 Mach f...

glad you guys like them, i'll keep taking the camera when I go out.

competitive shoot. It was 500m Fly and 1000yd benchrest. The guy in the photo with me is the smith who is building my 204 (and 17fb and 20ppc and bat 6.5 x 284). You'll note the photo of the 1000yd range from the bench and then the same photo taken on zoom. Long way away! Remember guys this was writ...
