"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Boar gun
What would you wise oomans recommend as a good boar gun ? I was wondering about a .44 Magnum underlever, or maybe even a shotgun loaded with solid slugs...

Re: Boar gun
.444 Marlin in a Marlin lever. A good fast lever gun with way more muzzle energy than a .44 magnum!!! Or even the venerable .45-70, again in a fast handling Marlin lever gun.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Boar gun
BTW from my experience with the few wild boar I've popped over the years you'd want an under lever for those fast follow up shots. You may shoot them dead but it can take a while for them to get the message.

Re: Boar gun
There's been one of these at my local gun shop for a couple of years - it belonged to the owner of the shop, who said it gave him a headache after 10 shots! - I have to ignore it calling to me every time i go in there....Sim G wrote:.444 Marlin in a Marlin lever

Re: Boar gun
Seems pretty unanimous ! What's the ammunition availability like for them ? I always seem to end up with calibres that are hard to source - like 7.5x55 Swiss
