haha, Mate, we have already got her phone number from the white pages and going to try to call her.. Long way from here though...

A pig that pic is more likly to be domestic.. Id say its a pet!

Hey Rumpus !

If you can get Dave to teach you how to use a Telescopic Stick you wont need a new gun

news to me for when we go you miss every thing in sight come home and have to go to butcher to buy me meat.......cant even shoot me a rabbit .......getting old sumo eye sight not what it used to be old friend....

got a sale on TELESCOPIC STICKS today only call 0055 66775566 now ...call me NOW

DAve are you still spewing over that esky ?????????

Well peeps Dave got himself a Big new esky just for shooting mind ewes to bring back meat

Well after 1/2 doz trips up to SUMO's the esky was still in brand new condition cause they could never shoot anything to put in the bloody thing

Dave even tried his telescpic stick but alas it's only good for 10 meters, deadly accurate @ that range mind ewes but Dave keeps telling me that SUMO keeps scaring the crap out of evewrything with his Red T-Shirt & he cant get a shot in

Hey Rumpus,
You should get Dave to tell the story of the time we were sitting in the car and Jumpy went stalking Goats, it goes a bit like this :: Jumpy stops the car and goes stalking a mob of goats which were a few hundred meters to our right,
When he had gone about 30 meters he decided to lay on the ground and try a long shot, well as he got settled I yelled out Jumpy come back here Dave said shut up he will get upset and I said Dave Look over my left shoulder! to my left was a mob of goats that had wandered around the hill and within 10 meters of the car, well Dave hung out of his window and yelled to jumpy that there was goats here, To our suprise Jumpy came back saw the goats got all excited and put 3 shots into the nearest Cloud well the goats walked away LAUGHING He didn't even make it Rain.

Rumpus I did post a reply to this and somehow it has disappeared, My 6-30x56Scope is a HAKKO Range focus Nitro Point Electronic, It is just sitting in its box waiting for a rifle to mount it on, This scope is 19 inches long and pretty heavy for a scope, I had it on my ZKK BRNO 375 H&H Magnum but the weight was too much for the RECOIL and it broke the mounts, I then tried it on my Ruger 300wm and the recoil kept making the mounts moove forward it has been back in it's box since.

you can see it when you call in, Hakko also made many scopes for Bushnell and Tasco, I do have some of their Variables on the shelf But they are made in the Hong Kong Factory and unlabled, whereas the Japanese models are always labelled ( Made in Japan) if you are going to buy one at big prices make sure it is labelled I can sell the unlabelled models for around $100.

SUMO I really didn't believe there could be anything worse than your aim
But there is & it's called your memory.

For the record I think the guys here should hear the truth about that incident which SUMO boldly twisted into the Biggest Porky I've ever heard.

And let Dave be my witness cause he was there

Yep we did come across 2 herds of goats , around 30 or so Nanny's & Kids in the main bunch & around 7 Billy's 50 meters down hill from them, we spotted them 400 meters away, I pulled up & turned the motor off in the car.

SUMO ! the big white hunting guide who wears the same Red T-Shirt to go shooting in day in day out [think it's to scare everything away] started raving on he knew where to head the goats off [what a load of crap that was] sat in the car watching them for around 15 minutes & I decided they weren't going anywhere as they were grazing.

With the wind blowing in our faces it was a shite easy stalk around the side of the hill, so Dave & I set off on the stalk SUMO who cant walk 10 meters without losing his breathe stayed behind & had the shits.

Anyone who's ever hunted goats knows wind in your face if you cant see them they cant see you & dont know you're there. the stalk was easy Dave & I were nearly on top of them but still couldn't see them we looked back @ the car & all we could see was this big red thing [SUMO in his T shirt for those who haven't jerry'd.

I made 2 mistakes that day
1st was that I didn't tie SUMO up b4 going on the stalk
2nd was that I left my keys in the ignition

Here's where you guys get to sort of know what sort of guy SUMO is
Those who know me know very well nobody controls Jumpus & out of spite or what ever you want to call it SUMO the plick jumps in my car starts it up & starts heading our way his aim was to scare the goats away so he could say

**You Should've Listened To Me**

He then had the hide to tell us that a kangaroo spooked the goats away

Dave as my witness will confirm this

I'll leave the story's @ that cause I'll only get very cranky recalling the rest of them

I've told SUMO I'll sit & have coffee with him etc, pop in & say hello if in the area

But I Will Never Ever Again go SHOOTING with Him

SUMO you are the most DANGEROUUS person I've ever come across in regards to Firearms & I'll leave it @ that

What about blackfish kk

They any good on the vegies ????????????

Yes, the .308 cleans, scales and fillets them with one shot. Where'd you dig this old thread from???

I go through Admin to see what walleys are trying to register on site & wun was viewing this thread so i had a quick looky

Got me a new 270 fired 5 rounds from it so far & killed a 44 gallon drum 3 times with it & Spud killed the same drum wunce.

Near took my shoulder off 1st zot 4gotten what firing a big boom boom stick was like after years with the hornet

Bloody thing makes alot of noise to boot so noisy the 44 gallon drum woke up 4 times

ok rumpus, 270 or 30.06????????????????????????????????????????????? what did you get?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

and what brand tell us, we need to know

Paul

Got a tikka 30;06 mate... Absolutly love it and anyone who cant justify spending the hard earned $$$ on a Sako (my other love, the wife knows about her) should buy a tikka.. forget all that yan crap (rem, winchester etc) buy a tikka.. smoothest action and very well put together!!

indeed a fine looking bang stick, now tell us about braking it in, like did it shoot a minute of angle from day one or did you need to tune it up free float the barrel that type of thing.

Haha, actually bought it off a mate who was working on a station on the Qld/Nt border. He had used it to shoot everything from buffs to bunnies. Shoots under a MOA with my reloads, 150gn Game Kings and Hornady SST's with 60gn on 2209 behind em. Nothing flash done to the rifle, pretty much standard!

No Buff with it for me yet but plenty of goats and pigs and drops them on the spot.. Jumpus can assure you of that, he has seen the damage it can do.

My other love Poly, My Sako 223 is all customized up... Floated, Full Bedding job, trued action.. And shoots .05" 5 shot groups one after the other.. Will quite often shoot a nice 5 shot clover leaf pattern

Its an old pic.. Now has a Kahles steel body 8x56 sitting on top..

there is a very good home waiting here in Queanbeyan for both of those riffles Chad, that's if you ever get sick of using them.

loads for the Sako mate, I'm thinking there will different loads for different jobs.

on the last trip to loch sport in Victoria the hog deer were thicker than roos, weighing in at about 50kg the 223 would be the perfect round for these shy little buggers, that if you could find some were to hunt them

Yea, my normal load is 55gn nosler shots, they are a cheap bulk pack round designed for the pro roo shooters. Very explosive. 25.5gn of 2206H moves em quick enough and gives super accuracy, less than .05".. Also use the Nosler ballistics in 55gn too, same load but they cost double the shots and give no better accuracy. Been playing with some 60gn VMAX latly for use of goats and pigs.. Have tried others in the past but have found the price and the accuracy of the Shots to be unbeatable.

Dont risten to him poly he's telling porkys

Had to train him in the finer art of stone throwing last trip cause he was hopeless using a telescopic stick
