around 30 metres. Had just carried back a yearling to the 4wd and a second one was standing behind some scrub looking at me wondering what I was doing
Best thing i like about the 17hmr is that there is no guessing where to aim. Basically anywhere within 120 metres you are just aiming at the target. I always found guessing the holdover on a .22 was...
Penn Tri Fibre rod and International 50 TW reel. Around 600 metres of 24 kg Dacron and 200 metres top shot of 24 kg nylon. Great for striped Marlin and Hapuka.
Reel has bumps and scrapes that you...
Thanks for all the feedback everyone- lots of good info and real life experience- cheers
I feed my dogs dried food and the supplier has put up prices quite a bit. Would be keen to know what others are using that’s good for the dogs and well priced. My Dogs are both labs -fit and not...
Fitted YoDave kit today
Easy process
Trigger much better now with almost zero creep and breaks around 2.4 lbs - on bench.
Might lighten a tad after a few test shots.
Passed lots of bump tests...
Ordered a YoDave kit today
Yes tried a spacer to increase the pressure on the new spring- felt good but still fired when dropped onto butt. It was close to being ok but not quite. Would be safe for a range gun but not for a...
Timney sounds like a good option!
I’m keen to get some work done on the trigger or get a replacement as factory is quite heavy and clunky. It’s adjusted as light as it can go. I got a replacement spring for it from Aussie but it was...
I have been using a small amount of that CRC silver anti seize mechanics use for many years (available from super cheap autos) for around $16. It’s outstanding and my guns get wet often and I only...
Umakarikari is an absolute dog when weather is bad. Hunted it a lot over the years and rarely done any good in the rain- its very exposed and most of the bush around the tops is very dense and...
Yes the .25 Cometa Lynx. Its been brilliant. The .25 sure has a lot of knockdown power on rabbits.
I bought a PCP off Mintie earlier this year and have decimated the local rabbit population on a small block. PCps are a lot fun and IMO a lot safer than subs in a .22. Ricochets seem very minimal and...
Yes!
My first deer many years ago was around 200 meters with a really flogged out 303 and open sights. Since then they have all been closer and at a guess the average is 30-40 metres. I have shot open...
Nice looking pups- little bricks!
I use electric reels and have always had hard wired into house battery - connected to plugs in cockpit. Mate uses a ‘standard’ size motorbike battery on his boat and gets a good day worth of drops...
I bought a slab of Falcon 3 inch steel at Fish city Hamilton around 10 days ago. They still had some left when I was there but they mentioned stocks were low
Used one for jigging for last 10 years IMO they Bullet proof reels and if well looked after should last a lifetime of recreational use
Thanks for everyone’s input and advice. Like any rabbit hole .....once you go down it the different options of which way you turn are numerous!! Unless something comes up second hand - I’m going to...
