thanks @anthony

You will find it pretty slim pickings there but the odd goat probably still wanders in from surrounding farms and forestry.

lots of people in Auckland and they don't want to drive far = not many animals

not to mention doc and their cullers

haha yeah im loving it it is real easy to aquire the target with the open sites only thing is it kicks she shit out of you ive been shooting some 180gr and some 150gr and the 150gr shoot way better and not as harsh on the shoulder especially with the brass butt pad

Good stuff master it & youl be able to shoot anything these days with all the mods you can get to reduce recoil , man I remember getting a bunch of ex army ammo in the cotton bandoliers took it all up to awakino with a few mates & started blazing away at big mobs of goats over a weekend wondering why not many where falling over ! , soft point ammo is good ...

yea i heard the fmj rounds just pass through with not much internal damage but that army stuff is way cheeper than the soft point stuff round 40$ for 20 as apposed to the army stuff at 30 rounds for 32$

Well instead of buying a box of beer buy some good bullets instead

After reading all this thread i gather Dome valley is somewhere near Auckland, when you guys ask about places could you put in the general area that it is so a dummy like me who hasnt travelled much will be able to work out where you are talking about. Thanks.

@Martin358
Dome Valley is between Warkworth and Wellsford on SH1.
How do I know this?
Drove that road at least 5-6 times a year for family
Later 1-2X per week on a owner/operator contract.
