Thanks for all the info so far, First thing then is a very good clean of the barrel. Resale value would be nil but family history is priceless. Cheers.

All the way! I'm guessing just maybe a cut an recrown of barrel may help here? Also what other checks, Headspace?
Years ago I put a couple of rounds through a ph book at 50 yards, they went through sideways. I will get it checked over one day. It would be nice to get it out for a last hunt.
Thanks for the link NZShoota, Really good info there. gundoc thanks for your input, you know your stuff. What you have said is what I pretty much read in the link. Yep it's a BSA and been rebarreled...
Can anyone identify the markings on my old 303 please? I'm guessing Boer war era for a start.

Yea I've got one too, It came on a 2nd hand .22 I purchased. Seems to be good, Not really much info on them. See if I can upload a pic.
Yea same feel like a new rifle maybe, Howa mini, wood stock, open sights, short barrel, mag floor plate in 7.62 or 450bm either that or cz527 carbine in 7.62, Will keep dreaming.
Can you get a wood stock for the Howa mini's ?
Also anyone fitted open sights ?
How loud can you clap ? No not ass clap like a stripper .... But with your hands ! That's what I done with my muts, Start by clapping softly (just once) in front of them then get louder as time goes...

Thanks to a local farmer the fallow are about but the surrounding farms get poached lots, They are trying to stop that as far as im aware, Also been told if farm workers shoot a fallow they will be...
Well Done !!
Anyone have any luck in the Te Taupi blocks or Te Miro blocks this year ? I hear there are a lot of fallow around the farms but never seem to hear of anyone doing well in the bush blocks.
So there are so many deer running around the Kaimai's now that DOC may go in and cull a few out ? I better start hunting there again.
Spot x Book will help, Also read Tracks of a hunter by John Royle, He has done a fair bit of hunting in the Rimutaka's, You may get some ideas where to head in from.
The BAKER in Featherston has...
I was using one of these https://dogmaster.co.nz/dogtra-iq-plus-dog-training-system-365m/ A good unit that works well.
I now use a Alpha 100/TT15. One push of the vibrate button and my dog comes...
Nothing wrong with a bit of goat, Good meat there. Dogs indicate and bail ?
7.62x39 or 44mag will do the damage on goats deer an pigs at close range and be cheap to run too. Other wise slightly longer ranges 243 708 or 308 or 3006 if ya feel the need. Not 270 or a tikka.
