    Gillie, I think two "Old Bastards' will definitely make it for the Saturday. I will probably use my S&L .308 WIN. I would really like to use the Norma magnum but I doubt I would be enjoying the recoil by the end of 50 rounds! Will go to the Taupo saddlers tomorrow and see if he has one that will fit Maca49. I have a good Aussie stock whip already sorted. If he founders, have you made provision for some stretcher bearers? I might need them

    Geeze @Woody dribbles on! Probably in the middle of his supper! Old folk tend to do that while eating! Hahahahahahaha, I'll either shoot my 6.5 x 55 or my 17 hornet depending on weather/wind and if I can build up enough time on the 17. I'll only shoot the hunter class on the Saturday! thanks Gillie!

    Wot about bring a Sharps buffalo rifle Maca49. 600 metres max range should be a piece of piss for it eh? Would be very good fun to watch, if nothing else.

    Yeh, it's hard to see what yer writing wen yor head is stil in the nose bag. Dammed barley straw makes me sneze too, which doesn't help much.

    How far do we have to walk Gillie?

    I really need to do some more vigorous walking than just hunting quail. Oh well, the bird season is over now, so I guess I better start humping a rifle around some hill somewhere.

    This one isn't much of a walk @Woody, similar to the Te Kuiti shoot with maybe a little more elevation to travel. That assumes of course, you bring a vehicle capable of safely getting up the hill to the first position or someone gives you a lift if you don't.

    5.5-22, 6-24, 8-32 type. I'm after a NF NXS but nothing has come up and the new prices scare me.

    Yes, those are fairly big scopes alright. Bigger than anything I've got I'm afraid.

    Scope prices are going nuts now, so I agree, sit, watch, wait and hope the right 2nd hand one pops up.

    Can't say I have seen too many of that type of scope come up at a really good price... for this medium range event you don't need that level of scope even in open class. There will only be a couple of targets past about 500 yards.
