Hahahaha okay Bradly, but as long as it's on your farm and nowhere else. Bwahahahaha hot barrels. Now fuck off and let this newbie go pay for his 308 come back when he's asking if a Burris Eliminator is a good first scope

Now if he puts an eliminator on a 308 he'll have something terrible Gwen

I think bush hunting you also have to take into account branches/twigs etc that may be in the flight path which heavier projectile are less effected by

Starting on first and last names now??????

Yep, I did it. I'd do it again. the 243 is a machine.

Buy the Leupold 2-7x33 on here for $250 and some leupold rings - Bloody good fit for a 308 and keeps the weight down
Better scope than these combo types IMO.

This would be great for all nz hunting, not sure if it sold or not?

I reckon TyrinnS made a great choice for a first hunting rifle - so many options for a scope and they will all do the job - just buy the best you can afford and you will have a great rifle

Using a Pentax 3-9 x42 on my 308 Ruger and cant fault it.

Dougies on deer number 5 and shes writing the book! Ask me how many deer I've lost with the .223!

Daylight kills deer. The more daylight you can put into them then quicker they die. Use as much gun as you can handle!

100 percent agree Brads. Sample of one isn't very scientific.
