  1. I use a Bushnell Powerview 10x42, for the price these are a great bino. There are of course many better brands out there but the clarity of these are tops for what I want. I hunt alot of open areas and semi wooded places so they are a great for seeing right out.
  2. Yeah they are good people gafloss, whenever I ring I speak to John and nothing is a problem.
  3. Thanks Happy for your concern. I actually bought it from "Hunting Haven" in Uralla NSW. They are a good buch of people and the prices are also good. You can check them out online just punch in the name in Google and it will come up.
  4. Yeah Foxdriver, I have found that they hold their edge very well and they are not that expensive. Bottom line is, Buck still make a good knife, at least the ones made in the States. I have not used one made in China but they too could be good
  5. Happy Jack, they seem to bring them in without that feature, mine certainly did not come with one. Wish it did though, it would have been handy.
  6. I use a similar Buck Foxdriver, it's a Buck Bantam model 286 in orange camo. I used it for the first time to skin out a large critter the other night and it worked a treat. These models are still made in the USA and not china.
  7. That's how I skin bunnies too.........however, I still love having a swag of knives, just like guns!!!

    Knife Laws

    Thats the worry with the law optic, it depends on how its interpreted and there lays the problem. Its only as effective as the people who are interpreting that and a lot of them I would not leave a stuffed teddy with them to look after!

    Knife Laws

    I have carried a small blade (about 31/2 4 inches) pocket knife all my life and at times wear a fixed blade Moore Maker knife from Texas on my belt. I live in the country so most people would not bat an eyelid over the belt knife but I am aware if I'm in the city people could start getting hesterical. By the way, the fixe blade knife is also a small 3 or 4 inch blade. I hunt most weeks, at least once but offetn two or three times, so there is always a need to have it, but the bottom line is a knife is just a handy thing to have on you.
  10. Nice working knife Grant, love the size.
  11. Yeah, WA Guns and Ammo was a great shop, a proper full on gun shop...........in other words guns lining the wallls, all the bits and pieces you needed as a hunter and a shooter, and a gunsmith to boot. They were the days, duck season and all! I was not there when Harry was there, I started with Geenie, Mark Green, when he opened the store in 1979. I was there for about three years from memory, then Coastal Guns then off overseeing sheep stations out near Wiluna. I diid love my time managing Greenies shop though, good time. He was a good bloke and died far to young.
  12. I was his partner when we first opened it....before that I managed WA Guns and Ammo
  13. Hi len, the shop was Coastal Guns on South terrace and Orient street. Shooter50
  14. Hi all, been a hunter for 34 years now, started in NSW and ended up here in 1979, haven't looked back, great wife and two great kids. I ran a gun shop in Maddington for a number of years and then had my own for awhile in Freo. Now I live in the country and get out for a hunt as much as I can...........whether I get anything does not really matter, in the end I just like being out there. happy hunting............Shooter50
