I stumbled onto this blog by a reference I found on another forum to which I belong. This guy is definitely one of us and has a way with words. He also has a forum attached to the blog.

The last train out of any station will not be filled with nice people.
Remember Newton and Azrak.

Kim certainly has and interesting background, and firm opinions! I like most of them. He used to call his blog "Nation of Riflemen" just like the forums, but he ran into some problems trying to get financing to start a company to sell some software he (and his wife, I think) developed. One or more of the potential financiers read his blog and was not happy, I guess, withdrew his support. Kim reevaluated his public persona, ditched the old blog for this new one, which is where I think the name "TheOtherSideofKim" came from. So believe it or not, the blog you see now is the "kinder, gentler" Kim.

While I disagree on a few points with Kim du Toit, I have enjoyed reading his blog for a couple years now. It's -his- fault I got interested in Savage 99s and -his- fault I now own a 1941-vintage 99 EG in .300 Savage... 
Complete with schnabel fore-end and the "full-length" 24-inch barrel, too.
Gotta take that ol' rifle hunting first chance I get... Kim was right on the money about that rifle/ammo combination being a sweet shooter. Plenty of power for most North American game (including elk, if you're a careful shot), yet still kinder and gentler to the shoulder than a .30-06.
Go give Kim's blog a read. It's well worth the time. And if you have (plenty) of time to burn, look through his "Gratuitous Gun Pictures" section, or "GGP." Be careful, though - you may end up with a hankering for "yet another gun."
