Aussie 1 · Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2010 7:29 am Post subject: Another Bloody Aussie!

Hello to all. Have been on Marlinowners for a while and was informed of this site by a bloke there. Have 2 little girls (and the cook) and am lucky enough to own and work my own piece of paradise in the South East of South Australia. We have Deer on our place (mostly Reds and Fallow) but not any great number like a bit further North from us. Go on a Pig shoot to NSW every year which is more of a holiday than it is a hunting trip.
Have four Rugers, a 22, 25-06, 30-06 and a 416 Rigby. Thought this was enough but then I hear about the Hawkeye in 264 Winny Mag. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, enough of my BS and look forward to communicating with you all.
Hope this finds you all well,
Aussie.

Thanks for the welcome boys, Sam I am a lazy prick so don't hold your breath waiting for pics of the 416. Have only had this one for a few months and all I've shot with it so far has been paper, one Roo and 3 Foxes (yeah don't waste your breath I already know I'm insane)

Very nice Aussie- A belated welcome to you. Always wanted to visit down under. Maybe I will one of these days before I get called off this earth.

That rifle would be real nice if the handle were on the proper side. Wink

A belated welcome from a lefty in the Land of (the Wizard of) Oz.
