Adam, well done. As usual your rifle never fail to have me drooling.

Mattie well done. I like your choice of rifle and calibre.

There are 2 things I have never taken hunting in my whole life.
One is a plastic stocked rifle. I have never even owned one.
#2 is a camera.

So I don't have a single picture of an animal I have killed. I have hunted since I was 8 years old (50 years now) and it struck me a bit hard when I read this thread, how I should have bought a camera a long time ago.
I have the memories, but when I look at the pictures other hunters have posted here it makes me feel as if I have made a big mistake in not ever thinking about photography.

Can finally join the ranks of this thread!

Fox shot at about 100m as it was running, admittedly missed the first shot but got it on the 2nd.
I felt a little undergunned..

Cogswell and Harrison Certus rifle in .450 NE 3 1/4". 440gr @ 2100fps.

Cheers,
Ash

Why not start looking at cameras now? Its never too late!

@MarkR

If you don't mind me asking, what rifles were you using in those photographs?

Hi Don,

Top 2 pics are my Custom M70 in 416RM, the next pic is a Kimber Select Classic in 25-06, the next is a 250-3000 Ruger and the last is a Sako in 375H&H.

And this one is my Winchester M70 in 9.3x62....

Cheers,
Mark.

How do you like the Kimber Classic? And the Sako? Is the Kimber an 8400or a 84L? The 25-06 is a great cartridge.

Best Regard

I like the Kimber a lot. It is an 84L and has a bit darker timber in it to what I have seen lately. I don't care for really blonde coloured stocks.

Cheers,
Mark.

Nice rifles EVERYONE in this thread! So nice to see people's successes!

Keep 'em coming.

Don - you asked Mark what rifles, i went to type pretty much the exact same line (even the "if you don't mind me asking" part!) last night but fell asleep!

It's not all large bore rifles and big game!
1st squirrel of the season Saturday evening.
CZ452FS .22 LR. Range 42 yards.
He was sitting on a branch stub right next to the trunk about 30 feet up eating a walnut.
This time of year with a lot of leaves still on the branches hunting consists of taking a couple of steps, stop, listen and glass the branches.
I heard this one cutting the nut and stalked in until I could get a good head shot.

Lovely Banteng Adam........I love the models with the straight horns when viewed from the front, as opposed to the curved jobs.

Not a bolt gun, but it is a wooden stocked classic.

Here is a pic of my first deer. Shot with a .303 Jungle Carbine and 20yr old CAC 180gr ammo. I used the battle aperture sight. Standing shot at about 50yds. I was 16 and it was 1986.
