Decent bluing and timber

whats the details on the 22, looks like something i need

CZ452 american with a Leupold 3-9-40 on it and a 5 baffle DPT

Seriously quiet with subs, tames the crack of powerpoints as well.

100yrd zero with 42g powerpoints
50yrd zero with 42g win subs

I bought a CZ 223 yesterday, another wood/blue no plastic job
Took it and the 06 out for a run , the 06 easily shot inside the Cz.
mind you the CZ was only 20 rds old and I had no reloads a only factory hornady.

In his constant pursuit of cold graceless function he has lost sight of the warmth and lustre of polished walnut next to an open fire. He is blind to the depth of deep bluing. But most of all he does not understand that 30-06 is a mans chambering. It does not need technical perfection any more than a classic muscle car needs to race a boy racer up a winding rode. Sure, the boy racer with his technofabulous car wants to race, and he might win, but the guy in the muscle car reclining on leather seats with the deep hum of his engine does not care. He is not looking to win a race to be happy, he already is.

You ruined it with the Woman's Weekly or whatever rag in the background if you're trying for any credit.

Pretty much what I was thinking; should have selected something less glossy for arse wipes.

I got a sako a7 in 3006 and bloody love it nice and light to carry kills wat ever gets in its way
It likes the Winchester ammo tho 3 bucks a pill

here is a really good article. it makes a lot of sense:

in case I did not do this correctly just google ross seyfried busting the magnum myth....guns America......you will find it and it is a very enjoyable article that full of practical information
about ordinary calibers I.E. 30-06....270win....308win... getting the job done at a lower cost and without a lot of fuss.

Been reading up on it actually and its spec makes it sort of magnum like before the term was coined. Yet I know 7mm magnums are popular in NZ, presumably by those with more money than math.....

/me runs and hides..........

Interesting read with some good banter. The poor old 30 06 has been a bit forgotten but is still very useful if your not after a magnum but still want to shoot a heavy bullet.

The cartridge and firearms industry relies upon hyping the new the latest and greatest ti gin up sales. Despite this solid performers like the 30-06, 270, 308, etc. prove to be completely sufficient to bring home the bacon year by year. Its all physics and there is no free lunch. A 30-06 best the latte 7mm-08 in every practical way, but the recoil is about 20% more. I don't know too many outdoorsmen who in the field who can capitize on a 1" flatter tragetory at 200 yards.
I can see of no advantage of the 7mm-08 vs the 308. The only advantage the 06 has over the 308 is if you need to shoot 180 to 200 gr. Bullets. I can't see where the 130 gr 270 outshines the 150 gr. 30-06.......they both are good.

Not up here (Canada) be the most recommended rifle cal by far, mind you there are bigger animals and sum with teeth and claws, five bear attatcks so far this hunting season, at I know of two run in with cats, (couger), 3006 till very strong in places. perhaps not Nz, but its likely heavier that need for most deer, waps and samber is a good choice.

Try the Hornady Interlock 150 SP - the flat base one not the boat tail.
