Review: Coast HL5 Headlamp
Headlamps are extremely useful items to have around. Being able to work with both hands, in dark conditions, is especially desirable for hunters and campers alike. Field dressing a Rabbit whilst holding a torch is not for the faint hearted and usually results in a torch covered in blood and guts. Perhaps you’re like me [...]
Hunting Trips Gone Wrong!
With all this rain we’ve been having lately it’s been hard to get out for a shot. The paddocks around here have turned to slosh and the ground simply cannot hold any more water. Heading out in these conditions will mean that my winch will see more use than my rifle! As you do [...]
Review: Bear Grylls Ultimate Multi-tool
Bear Grylls survival series of tools and knives have been around for some time now and with the release of some new Bear Grylls products due for later this year, I decided that now would be a good time to review his Ultimate-Multi-tool. Just for anyone who doesn’t know who Bear Grylls is, he is [...]
Cartridge Profile: 300 Weatherby Magnum
I’m a big fan of Roy Weatherby and his associated rifles. I don’t agree with all his ideas but the Weatherby history has interested me for a long time and both the Mark V and Vanguard rifles are among my favourites. This article is about my favourite Weatherby cartridge, the .300 Weatherby Magnum. Even with [...]
Knife Review: Kizlyar Korshun
Kizlyar knives are made in Russia and have an excellent reputation for producing quality blades at an affordable price. Kizlyar Australia kindly sent me a Korshun model to review, but before I get into the details of the knife I thought it’d be appropriate to go over the history of Kizlyar knives. Kizlyar have been [...]
Cartridge Profile: 22-250 Remington
When you first get into shooting, it never takes long before the 22-250 Remington gets a mention. Often considered the best Varmint cartridge around, it’s little wonder that the 22-250 is perfectly suited to our conditions. Using a light 40gr projectile, speeds can reach 4000fps which is flat shooting and explosive in performance. Yet [...]
Joker Gamo CO-45 Knife Review
Before I was given the chance to review this knife, I had never heard of the “Joker” knife company. Some research showed that the knives are made in Spain and have been around since 1987. I’ve had some experience with made in Spain knives which I’ve obtained from owning Muela and Nieto blades in the [...]
Leupold’s New VX “1″
Leupold have announced that they will be introducing a new VX 1 this year. The Roman numeral has gone and a simple “1” will be the new designation. The great thing about the new scope is that it includes new features without addition to the price tag (at least in the US). Finger click adjustments [...]
Survival: Emergency Blankets
A nice addition to anyone’s daypack is an Emergency Blanket. Most survival kits will have one included and they are also a common addition to First Aid kits. Spending time in the bush puts us at risk of being either stranded or lost in less than ideal places which means that we should always be [...]
RCBS: Bench Mounted Pocket Swager
Removing primer pocket crimping can be a real pain in the backside. If you’ve ever brought some ex-military fired cases then you’ll know exactly what I mean. The primers are crimped in to ensure reliability in military applications and the cases were never intended to be reloaded. However, due to the price and availability [...]
