HuntEx was ‘n reuse sukses, dit het alle verwagtinge oortref en ek dink al die uitstallers sal saam met my stem dat dit uiters goed georganiseerd was. Mens kan nie anders as om vir Adriaan Woudstra en sy span geluk te wens met die hoogs suksesvolle skou nie. Ek dink dit is vinnig besig om meer en meer internasionale erkenning te geniet.

Vir WILDLAND was dit ‘n eerste poging by HuntEx in Midrand en die belangstelling was oorweldigend. Ek bedank elkeen wat van ons produkte aangeskaf het, maar veral vir die vriendelikheid en goeie wense wat ons van talle skougangers ontvang het, dit was werklik ‘n riem onder die hart om te sien hoeveel welwillendheid daar is teenoor WILDLAND.

Dit is Juniemaand en die 2014 jagseisoen is in volle gang. Geniet dit en maak die beste daarvan, want die jagseisoen is die beste tyd van die jaar en dié van 2014 sal mens net een keer ervaar – benut dit ten volle. Hou egter altyd die vuurwapenveiligheidsmaatreëls in gedagte en moet niks uit die natuur neem wat jy nie ten volle kan benut nie. Onthou die ou Engelse gesegde “A moment of madness can lead to a lifetime of sadness!”. Dit klind dalki na ‘n cliché, maar is baie ware woorde.

Ons intekenare kompetisie sluit aan die einde van Junie, so gebruik hiedie geleentheid om op WILDLAND in te teken en staan ‘n kans om ‘n Steyr-Mannlicher Pro-Hunter met ‘n Zeiss teleskoop te wen, die tweede prys is ‘n Bushnell teleskoop. Sien bladsy 65 vir meer inligting.

Ons splinternuwe jagtersresepteboek “Wild&Warm” is te koop by Safari&Outdoor en Wildman winkels, of bestel dit deur die pos (Sien bladsy 21). Die “Vadersdagmesse” wat ons bemark is ‘n “limited edition” en kom uit die stal van die wêrledbekende vervaardiger Muela. (Sien bladsy 29). Gebruik hierdie geleentheid om jou pa of man se hart bly te maak, jy gaan baie voordeel hieruit trek!

HuntEx was a huge success and it exceeded all expectations. Most of the exhibitors will agree with me that it was extremely well organised. We can only applaud Adriaan Woudstra and his team for a job very well done. I personally think that HuntEx is gaining more and more international exposure and accreditation.

It was the first time for WILDLAND to exhibit at the Midrand show and the warm reception we received was overwhelming. I thank everybody who purchased our products but the most rewarding factor was the well wishes we received from our readers. It is heart-warming to experience such goodwill.

Our subscribers competition ends on the 30thof June, so use this opportunity to subscribe to WILDLAND and stand a chance to win a Steyr-Mannlicher Pro Hunter rifle with a Zeiss telescope. The second prize is Bushnell telescope. See page 65 for more information.

It is June and the hunting season is in full swing. Enjoy it and make the most of it because the 2014 hunting season will only come along once. Firearm safety is of paramount importance and practise it at all times. Remember the old saying, “A moment of madness can lead to a lifetime of sadness!”. Though this might sound like a cliché, it is still very true. Never take something from nature which you cannot utilize to the fullest.

Our new recipe book for the hunter, “Wild&Warm”, is on sale at Safari &

Outdoor and Wildman shops, or you can order it directly from us (see page 21). Our “Fathers day” knives are a limited edition and are from the Muela stable, one of the world’s best known knife makers. (See page 29 for more info). Use this opportunity to “gain brownie points” with your dad or husband and you will definitely reap the benefits!

Vir daai 25 tree skote op groot goed was ek nog altyd goed genoeg en op die baan het ek darem gewoonlik die boonste helfte van die Big Bore uitslae gehaal. Hierdie slag was daar egter geen ander uitkoms nie; ek moes ‘n .25-06 Remington kaliber Musgrave Varminter Camo model op blesbokke op die grasvlaktes anderkant Ermelo gaan toets.

Die Varminter Camo is op ‘n VZ-24 Mauser aksie gebou wat eers deur ervare geweerbouers soos Gary Barnes en Richard Proudfoot onder hande geneem is. Die aksie is gepoleer en afgewerk en van ‘n in-huis veiligheidsknip en ‘n

Timney sneller voorsien voordat die Musgrave loop en kolf daarop gepas is.

Die veiligheidsknip sit aan die linkerkant van die grendelhuls, maar lig net tot kort onderkant die teleskoop op om die geweer te beveilig. Dit swaai nie reg oor soos wat op onveranderde Mauser K-98 gewere die geval is nie. Kom ons noem dit ‘n ‘laeprofiel’ veiligheidsknip. Anders as met ander laeprofiel knippe wat mens teëkom is die hoeke van die Musgrave laeprofiel veiligheidsknip effe gerond. Dit is nie net baie mooier as die gewone knippe nie, maar steek jou nie in die rug as die geweer oor jou skouer

is nie. Dis ‘n klein, maar uiters positiewe verandering.

Daar is min te vertel oor Mauser aksies wat nie al voorheen gesê is nie en ek loop die risiko om lesers te verveel as ek oor die aksie se tegniese aspekte uitbrei. Dus gaan ek dit nie doen nie. Ek moet egter meld dat daar ‘n paar aandagtrekkers op die Musgrave is.

Die eerste is die Musgrave kenteken wat op die buitekant van die uittrekker aangebring word en in die uitwerp poort sigbaar is. Dis subtiel, stylvol en pragtig.

Die tweede is die kolf. Dis van gelamineerde hout in drie kleuropsies;

Musgrave Varminter – ‘n Boerseun se welkom terugkeerElke nou en dan word 'n mens met nuwe dinge gekonfronteer. Ek is ‘n bosjagter en ‘n lang skoot is vir my 75 treë, want ek is nie skaam vir bekruip nie. Ek het my ook nog nooit daarop geroem dat ek klein groeperings in die verte kan skiet nie.Dit is‘n faset van my jagvermoeëns wat ek nog nooit ontwikkel het nie. Selfs vir my 75 tree skote was daar darem altyd ‘n stam of tak waaroor ek my stewiger kon staanmaak.
