Now I can resume my quest for my first deer

Ok admittedly I did book this up with forlongs seeing they gave me access to my card again so I can keep saving for other things and scratch the trigger finger while I am at it. Was originally going to get a ruger american in 7mm08 but temptation got the better of me and could not resist the rifle rings and GPS (garmin Etrex 20) package I saw and I deserved something worth a bit more than $600 for the rifle after all of the shit I have been through.

Can't wait to get into them fecking hills after finding somewhere to sight it in rather than heading to the taupo range even though it would be a good road trip and i do have to go there in a few weeks to pick something up that has been waiting down there for me to finish paying off and collect for a while.

Thanks @Toby as you probably guessed it is a remington 700 with detachable mag the scope is a bushnell trophy XLT with DOA600 reticle (didn't have enough for the Loopy VX2 I was going to put on it) and the caliber is .270 as they did not have one in 7mm08 available that was not stainless so I settled for next best in my caliber choice.

Got 9 norma 270 cases in perfect condition (someone must have chucked them at the range, could not find #10 hehe) if you want them. Just flick me your address and I'll put them in the post.

Hi Tahr
I really appreciate that if you want I am happy to pay you for them but will be a while before I can do any reloading as I have to get that gear back together once I have sorted out my truck license upgrade and a few other things.

Spent shells are just another form of litter Rushy. Therefore, I pick them up. Trying to be a tidy Kiwi (pomwi)

I understand that Pengy. I pick them up as well. Just don't keep it.

The tricky bit I find is that I accumulate the brass faster than I shoot the rounds. Must be time for another big reloading session or four.

It is my first brand new remington centerfire last one was a 788 and it is my first rifle that cost more than $800 even though I got it on HP I thought it was about bloody time to get out of the cheap seats and into something better I was wanting a ruger M77 the remington was the first model 700 I have shouldered and it fit me nicely, I want to give the trigger a tweak down to below 3.5 pound pull to around 2 pound but the trigger can stay like that for now till I get to know the rifle a bit better.

I wont get to do a hard out hunt durting the roar due to having to work weekends at the moment (joys of earthmoving) but will try to get a sunday in somewhere like wairere falls or thompsons track (or in the vicinity) @7mmsaum unless Te Awamutu has been shifted from the waikato to near the hawkesbay I won't be heading through there unfortunately.
