The most troublesome .458 I've ever owned...

Hi,

I thought I'd do a little write-up about the most troublesome, finicky .458 I've ever owned.

This particular rifle was previously owned by Bob Penfold/Matt Cameron of Hunt Australia, and was then purchase by a mate, and as I had read about these rifles in magazines when the opportunity came up to own one, I...

Rhino Horn On Mount Use Original or Replica

Thanks

Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

Career ideas?

Hey guys,

This is a very, very open question that can have a million answers.. well aware.

My wife and I are looking to potentially move to Oklahoma in the next decade. Currently based in Australia and I’m 35 years old.

I spent 13 years as a machinist, 3 years in vegetation management on CSG infrastructure and am almost 12 months into working for the government as a park ranger.
Don’t want to go back to machining.

But considering a change, this can potentially include university/college...
