G'day folks, I've been hunting for over 30 years and was lucky enough to take it up with a mate who was taught very well by his father. He'd cut his hunting teeth in South Africa and successfully transferred all the required safety aspects to my mate and thus myself. I hunt regularly all over SA, targeting fallow deer, goats and the usual foxes, rabbits etc. My first rifle was a Browning .22 Magnum (pump action) - still got it and its as accurate as ever. My most recent purchase was a Sako laminated stock, stainless barrel in .270 - Its first 17 shots have claimed a fallow for meat and 16 goats. Happy hunting!
