What's a Geordie
They hail from northern England, sort of half Welsh and half Scottish

Ha nay laddie, nay! Geordies are further up in the North East, I'm Somewhat south of there & nearer to North Wales in the West. Not so far from Manchester in rural Cheshire.

What's a Geordie
A North Eastern northerner, from Northumberland area, i.e. Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne.
They're known as Geordies.
The cartoons of Andy Capp by Reg Smythe typify a Geordie

I mostly hunt with good friends in Scotland, but will travel to other places when the desire takes me.
I have hunted in PA and France, but haven't ever hunted in Africa although I've been to East and South Africa many times man & boy.
Cheers, deeangeo
G'day mate, welcome. Now I have to ask where in the hell is PA ?

Welcome deeangeo,
Your k95 25-06 sounds like a great piece of kit and well used too! I'm about to join the k95 ranks very soon. With so much positive talk about the k95 I'm already happy with my purchase with even getting my hands on it.
Good to have you here.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your K95 when it arrives Tim. I don't know of anyone that has one who doesn't.
Whatever configuration or spec suits the individual, they all seem to work so well.
As mentioned elsewhere, I've had mine for fourteen years now and it shoots as well now as the day I took delivery, (the lead time, order-del. was six months and .25-06 was not on their available calibre list)
Lightweight and accurate also rare as rocking horse poo in the UK, so the price holds up well.
Good luck when you get it.
Cheers, d
