Led by a cracking yarn about hunting monster buffalo on a new block in the Territory, the latest issue of Sporting Shooter also includes Nick Harvey’s review of the incredible Steyr Monobloc, a rifle built with a one-piece receiver and barrel!
The Steyr is an innovative rifle in more ways than one, and accurate to boot.
We also review the Hikmicro Stellar thermal rifle scope, an optic built to resemble a regular daytime scope but with all the advantages of thermal imaging at night.
Speaking of good optics, we also test the newly designed Kahles Helia S binoculars.
As well as our buffalo hunt, we’ve got stories on hunting big pigs, how a patient hunter scored a massive fallow trophy after 20 years, and a four-year-old’s first pig-hunting adventure.
This issue’s species guide goes into detail about chital, regarded as Australia’s most beautiful deer as well as being a serious challenge.
Uncle Nick revisits the so-called miser’s magnum, aka the .30-06 Ackley Improved, and works up brand-new loads for this highly commended cartridge.
And he sets the record straight about the difference between larger calibres and shooting skill. Yes, you really can be over-gunned!
You’ve got a chance to win a Weatherby Vanguard rifle, Vortex optics and a Garmin eTrex 22x GPS unit in the competitions we’ve got going in this issue, too.
