We have tests of two incredible rifles in the latest issue of Sporting Shooter magazine: The Aero Precision Solus LW Hunter and the straight-pull Mauser 25.
The all-new Mauser is the slickest straight-pull you’ll find with neat design and engineering touches that belie the fact that it is one of the more affordable rifles of its kind. And wait’ll you see it’s accuracy!
The Aero Precision represents the genius of American factory-custom rifles built on the Remington 700 footprint but taking it to another level altogether. Its lightweight action is a thing of beauty in itself.
We also go into detail about one of Meopta’s sweetest long-range hunting scopes, the Optika5 4-20×50, and review a new book that guides you through the maze of hunting law in this country (particularly NSW).
And for the hunters among us, we’ll take you on an affordable sika hunt in New Zealand, into Northern Territory public land for free-range buffalo, and give you a guide to hunting hog deer in Victoria.
We also look at dealing with a murder of crows, and follow a father as he takes his young son and a new rifle on a successful fallow hunt.
Dylan Smith visits Trophy Takers, a club dedicated to trophy hunting, to explain not only the ins and outs of measuring heads, but why the whole concept of the trophy hunter has been bent right out of context in today’s society.
Marcus O’Dean discussed three long-lived cartridges and reveals why they still work so well despite the huge number of excellent alternatives that are now available.Â
