Hey Everyone
Hey Everybody,
My names Dan, I'm 20, and I'm a helicopter pilot initiate/ground crewman in the wairarapa. I'm into all sorts of hunting, and this seems like as good a place as any to learn and read and ask. I have a ruger m77mkII in 308, a Bushmaster Ar15 and hopefully soon a 308 AR that I've just ordered, and will no doubt be looking for advice on thru here at some stage!
Cheers guys

Welcome aboard Dan. I am sure that you will find what you are after on here and we could always use a friendly chopper pilot.

-
Welcome Dan, shouldnt have to much trouble finding a deer with a heli :)
-
Welcome to the forum Dan, what Helichopper you fly?
-
Cheers guys!
yeah there are distinct advantages to working for a helicopter company near the tararuas haha. ..
7mmwsm, I had a feeling I you might be someone I know, I've been floating round here for a while and "south waikato" caught my eye... I hear you've been making the most of an influx of reds up the hill there, good on ya ;) and will do.
Toby, I'm more of a fledgling than a pilot haha, just starting on the Hughes 500Es after doing my training in deathtraps, R22s
-
You working for that big loud ginga bastard?
When did he get rich enough to get an E model?
-
Nah at Amalgamated Heli, we got 2 E's here... Haven't met any loud gingas yet but I have a suspicion I know who ya mean
-
Loud and large then:D I havent seen him since a frost season a few years ago and he was vomiting out the door of his machine.
Good on ya. Hope ya have a good career. You will have a longer one, staying away from the R22's. Going from an angry palm tree to an E is a fortunate jump
-
Haha nice, and cheers R93, I'll try keep my distance from 'em.
Angry palm trees eh, love it! :D
-
Welcome Dan - I love my M77MK2 also 308 it does me proud - great choice
-

An Anderson Manufacturing AM-10 MSR, the shipment is due in a few weeks hopefully! Attachment 3926
I know they're pretty new, but the reviews on their AR15s have gone from shit to awesome over the last few years...
-
I looked at getting one of those but they couldnt offer it in a barrel length other than 22" and i think it was a heavy barrel off memory? I think AM do a carbine version as well. So you be hanging out counting down the days hours and minutes!
-
Yeah she's eight & a half pounds dry, and heavy barrel yeah. The AM-10BD is an 18" carbine but I dunno if we'll see those here anytime soon. They must be fairly new, I can't find a single review. Everything I'm reading is about their am15, but it's all positive lately... Yeah I'm pacing I'm furious impatience at the moment, can't wait
