Re: knife pattern
Google Bob Loveless 4" drop point, that's the style I use and carry the most. Second is one along the lines of the Puma hunters pal. Both good for detailing with bigger stuff in the bush, however if you are working off a hook the traditional style butchers/slaughtermans style knife is hard to b...

Re: Vortex viper- opinions
I run a Viper HS 4-16 on my 22.250, optically it's the best scope I own, but I dont have any big dollar stuff to compare it with, VXii's are sort of my idea of a good scope for my budget. Mine has the BDC reticle which is very fine IMO, never had grief with it and would gladly own another one.

Re: Removing rear sight from a mod 2
I,ll post one up to tomorrow night, but yeah the mount is fixed to the barrel. I thought the drifting would be an option, I just get cautious as that little bigger Murphy seems to appear every time I attempt stuff like that.

Removing rear sight from a mod 2
Anyone know how to flick the rear iron sight off a Mod 2 Brno, I just need it off to get the eye relief right.

Re: Making a knife - sort of
My young fella uses Gilly Stehenson Carbanuba wax on timber handles on the say of a few of the long term knife makers , Tung oil is also popular, I think most decent quality finishes would be suitable.

Re: Making a knife - sort of
You're rooted now mate :D it is an addictive past time that gets a hold on you, next you'll try different styles, making sheaths for them and get curious about grinding and heat treating. Good luck with it and enjoy, I used to scoff at blokes who said there is a certain amount of pleasure in using a...

Re: Marlin 17HMR
I got one for my young bloke a while back, synthetic stock, heavy barrel, goes well, good honest rifle, and I'm far from a 17hmr fan, we did take it to the local gunsmith and spent the best $50 you'll ever spend, and had the trigger done. Put some good mounts and a reliable scope on it and you'll ha...

Re: New 22Mag
Slick mate, I always wanted one of the XTR's when I did buy a magnum in the mid 80's I flipped and bought a Krico, still have and still love it........but I do a soft spot for a nice clean lever, look after it.

Re: Latest one
Kickinback, TUS Industries in the states do one of the better stencils that we've come across. Longer lasting provided you clean them and look after them, nice and clear and they are good to deal with.

Here’s a few pic’s of one I finished last week, it’s a style of knife I’ve always had a liking for and along the lines of the knife that I bought almost 30 years ago, which cost me a fair portion of a week’s wage as an apprentice Panel Beater.
