  1. Apologies for poor lighting. Load shedding at the moment
  2. My wife regularly uses "brandnetels" in soup. Apparently it has medicinal qualities as well.
  3. What is your thoughts about "takbok" (Fallow deer?)

    RIFLE

    Nothing wrong with a 243. Most organized gong shoots nowadays do not disclose the distance of the gongs. Up to 500m a 243 would probable serve an inexperienced shooter just as well or better than a 6.5 CM due to its flatter trajectory. (and the shooters inability to guess the distance correctly) From 500-1000 m, I would say 6.5CM with a good scope. This is where the expensive part comes in. Remember that the rifle is normally less than half your budget. Prepare to spend at least R30k for a start. Further than 1000m I would say 338 LM or 375 Cheytac.
  5. All this GSD pictures inspired me to get off my bum and post a few pictures of my GSD's Meet Kanzo

    I bought one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Emerson-8-5-22cm-Suppressor-Mirage-Heat-Cover-Shield-Sleeve-Muffler-Multicam/302260819872?epid=15007856525&hash=item46602617a0:g:CrEAAOSwYXVY01ax

    Works good enough. Do Batches of 30 for 30-06 and 40 for 6.5 Creedmoor.

    RIFLE

    Had the same brainwave. Not worth the effort. Buy this instead: https://www.capewatch.co.za/product/mini-tumbler/ R1.3k for a wet tumbler that can do 30 cases at a time versus R5-6K for traditional wet tumbler that can do 100 cases at a time.

    I would suggest https://www.gunafrica.co.za/classifieds.html or https://www.jaracal.com/viewforum.php?f=19 Jaracal is members only, but a lot of the ads is members advertising for a friend and giving the friends contact details.

    RIFLE

    Bought it at Kloppers in George. Its manufactured by MDT, but marketed under its own brand as a budget option. African Outdoors Sports (RSA agents) imported 50 units that flew off the shelves. Not sure when there will be stock again in RSA however.

    Are you sure about the 5 year renewal? I got my Creedmoors licence under section 16. Did the Chasa course for dedicated hunter. Just checked, my licence is valid for 10 years. Same as the hunting rifles under section 15

    RIFLE

    A classic indeed. A mate of mine has one too and its accuracy and stopping power is legendary. Only reason I did not go the 300 H&H, 300 Winmag or 300 WSM route is because I already have a 30-06 hunting rifle and I wanted something with less recoil for paper and gongs that my daughter can also use.(I know, I shamelessly used a kid to help motivate this one )

    Early 50th birthday present. From Dad, to Dad.
  14. Sunday lunch. Pork ribs, lamb chops and some salad
  15. Would be a good idea, although not essential. I would rather prefer the medical professionals answer you on that one. He has a tendency to start from scratch anyway. His whole practice is set up like a mini clinic and you get examined by various in house specialists, depending on what tests he wants to run. My first consultation took more than 2 hours in total, with follow ups every 18 months with blood tests beforehand.
  16. Hi Moridin At the risk overemphasizing the sentiment of the last few posts. He really is that good. I have been his patient for the last 13 years. He has a knack for identifying stuff that others miss and enjoys a challenge.
  17. Cheapest option would be to befriend your nearest dairy farmer. We use liquid nitrogen to store dairy semen for AI. Take a cotton bud with and do it yourself at your own risk.
  18. Every year when I visit my parents in Jongensfontein I hang my Anthem upside down from two hooks in their garage without any problems. Once heard that hanging it this way can cause bubbles in the system to settle at the highest point i.e. calipers and cause brakes to fail. IMHO if this happens it means that the brake system is compromised and in need of a service anyway.
  19. Looks like he crossed the finish line. Congrats
  20. 4 k's now. I think its time to start alerting local authorities that Vettes is in town.
  21. Go Vettes and Taito. Less than 100 k's now!
  22. Gee vir oupa en pa en seun elkeen een.
  23. Same here. Mailed the Cycle Tour office just in case. No reply yet.
