I could not help but admire the No 1's shown here on the campfire.
Where I live down here in Australia I am fortunate enough to have enough land to go for 30 minute stalk at dusk or dawn and get a chance to run into foxes, wild dogs or feral pigs or "hogs", & can do it all year round.
Larger (meaning older) hogs are extremely alert, never stay still for more than a second or two, and are difficult to stalk. Generally there will only be the opportunity for one shot.
I recently purchased a used 300H&H, the first No 1 I have owned.
They are great rifles!
I have loaded up some 165 NBT's, this is three sighting shots @ 55 meters, the rifle shoots nicely, better than I can. Some recoil off the bench...
So far one hog taken last weekend
Good Hunting Guys!
