Some great pics in this thread fellas
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm picking up the car from Manchester st in the city and then headed the quickest way I can to mt cook. Is the Darfield way quicker than the Ashburton way?
Last...
I'm headed over the ditch next week to spend a a week in the hills chasing tahr. I couldn't swing much time off work and I'm trying to maximise hunting time so I arrive at Midnight next Monday and...
Well for that tahr trip last november, I ended up using the 150gn ballistic tips with 2213sc nice and accurate but not overly fast - did the job though.
I'm headed over in couple of weeks to...
Stainless synthetic is practical, but walnut and Blued steel is so much nicer.
Get a CZ 527. Great little mini mauser action and it shoots thumbnail sized groups without too much effort at all.
...
tanqueray ,Just the standard SP gameking. OSA sell it as factory ammo over here, you can get it in 900rd bulk cans for about $650, it shoots as good as my reloads and is probably just as cheap. As a...
Don't know, never shot a Roe - but yearling fallow is the best venison I've eaten, and they make the carry out easy.
Warming weather and greening grass, means spring has sprung around here. Also, means the fallow does are about to drop and last years yearling's are the perfect eating size. A productive mornings...
Cool. I think I'll book the flights tonight.
Yep, I've hunted there in Springr before - the Tahr are generally nice and accommodating for an aussie who is pretty respectful of your mountains,...
:thumbsup:Already donated, and yep any trip over always ends up costing a fair bit, I try spend $$'s in the small towns on the way to the mountains and mention that I'm over hunting. It would be an...
I'd planned for the last 6 months or so to come over from Aus for a tahr trip in the first week of November, so the recent going's on with the Sage announcement have been of considerable interest and...
Done. For an Aussie the tahr hunting experience in the southern Alps is an incredible opportunity and matches nothing like we've got here. My friends and I spend thousands to come there to hunt tahr...

There used to be a thread on the other forum with pictures of live game animals which had some great pics. I searched for a similar one here and couldn't find one so thought I'd start one (if there...
I picked up this recently, it joins my plastic fantastic tikka 9.3 in the safe. The tikka does the job and is my go-to rifle on multi day sambar missions, but this one just feels like a 'proper'...
Here ya go Wildman

Yep. I'll post a pic later.
I haven't used the HD38's, but the trail xp series has a much better image than the FLIR LS both 640x480 (even though they should be similar).
What are you looking at using it for?
I've used both pulsar (Helion and Trail) and FLIR LS units a fair bit. The FLIR units are more compact and seem more robust (but have yet to break a pulsar or a FLIR for that matter), but the image...
Yep, great shop. I've bought a stack of gear off them over the years, mainly mail order. Good prices and good service.
Has to be the 460 weatherby mag - it's even IWC approved:thumbsup:
from wiki...'The .460 Weatherby is one of the very few rifle cartridges approved by the International Whaling Commission for the...
A timber stocked Sauer 404 in 6.5x55. They're a beautifully made rifle.
thanks GWH, I've heard H414 or 2209 is pretty reliable but I've got quite a bit of BM2 in my cupboard that I used to use in my .223 (which I don't reload for much anymore) that I'm keen to find a use...
Has anyone got a Hornady Manual that they could check some data for me?- I'm curious to see if it lists a load for the 123gn ELD M with Benchmark 2.
I've been trying to find a a good recipe with...
