[quote="Mud Dog".270 for small to medium antelope while .303 .308 and 30.06 make good all-rounders with the exclusion of big game.[/quote]

Interesting point, Keeping in mind that the calibre that has taken more big game and big five than any other calibre ever is the .303.

Is a 243 not the minimum cal for hunting?

Ek het my diens plig in 82 op Rust de Winter gedoen by 250ADAG. Is daai Lugmag basis nog daar?

once you own your 30-06 you won't need to buy any additional rifles, if you reload, the ammo works out to be almost the same, maybe a little more powder. clover leaf grouping at 100m and 2inch grouping at 200m. At least with a 30-06 you can hunt small game right through to big game depending on the ...

Home Affairs spokesman Ronnie Mamoepa said South Africans wanting to travel to Botswana should make the necessary arrangements to acquire the appropriate documents.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the appropriate documents?

Basil, the Bots Gov have implemented the decongestion policy in Chobe - cos thats where it is really needed. There is just too much traffic (day trippers) in that park as a result of the location relative to Kasane and all of its lodges. As for Moremi and Savuti, there they havent implemented anyth...

Hi Val & James, thanks for the info. The maps and booklets that we have for planning our trip, all indicate that entrance / access fees to the various National Parks have to be prebooked and paid for before arrival, this also applies to vehicles who are only passing through a park on their way t...

Aquanaut

Thanks Val. What is the procedure when traveling through parks to get to your destination, do you have to preboook your through trip as well or do you just drive through like normal?

The MPPT controler gebruik die hoer volts wat nie gebruik word deur ander controllers, wat die paneel uitsit en skakel dit om in amps. As die paneel 18 volt uit sit met 5 amps kry jy 90 watt x ~.95% effency, dus oneveer 90/14x.95 = 6 amp is, en hy gaan altyd probeer die meeste energy uitstuur wat b...

I have a NL system fitted to my vehicle, battery is situated in the load bin and is portable if I need to remove it at a camp site. I have a 105amp Deep Cycle battery which runs my Engel fridge/Freezer, I have had no problems with mine.

Hi, we are planning our Botswana trip for June, but after reading some of the recommended books on Botswana, I see that they insist on pre-booking and pre- payment for all camping and Lodges, even prebooking to travel through some of the parks. I was hoping to do a similar trip through Botswana as w...

Ook in die winter amper die selfde roete gedoen, maar net hoer gegaan tot by oxbow lodge. Ons het diesel by Himeville ingegooi en niks probleme gehad nie, maar dan het ons low sulfur ingegooi, weet nie of dit n verskil gemaak het nie??

Dankie Johan, waar is the beste plek om so n Beton laaier te kry? Makro, Midas??

Just got the model of my charger:
MQ7933/01.54.120 240V/50-60HZ 12V 12V/12A MIN30AH MAX 200AH

Anybody tell me what that all means and how does it affect me using it to charge my 105A deep cycle Battery?
Basil

Aquanaut

Thanks Chris, I will have to put it on every now and again just to keep it topped up until the next use. The battery is sitting in the box I made for it. I don't want to ride around with it in the back of the vehicle.

Ek het een van die normale chargers wat ek by Makro gekoop het, een vir elke dag se gebruik.

They should have photoshopped a bit more ground clearance.

Aquanaut

I would suggest to check the level at your next service, the workshops fill the engin according to the volume specified, e.g. 4l or 6l. check to see where the level of the oil is according to these specs, then you can see which side is the correct one.

Aquanaut

Wanneer ek nie die deep cycle battery gebruik nie, hoe lank kan die battery aan die charger gekoppel bly?

Aquanaut

You are so right!!

Jonathan, I have got a 30.06 mauser action rifle and I am looking for a left handed stock with thumb hole (pistol grip, just like the 300swm). Do you have any available or would you have to make one up?
And of course, what would the cost be?

Yes, the pos (red) cable from the main battery connects to a 100amp in line fuse first, then from the fuse to the terminal marked main battery on the solenoid. Your box has averything included, but I don't think the solenoid is fitted into the box, the cables from your box will still be connected to...

Just received the two vents, but before I cut my canopy and regret any holes, can anyone tell me how do these vents handle the rain etc. Are they able to keep the rain out or when I am washing the canopy, will they leak???
