    When you buy a tikka your not sucked in. You are generally very good looking with a high IQ! Sent from my SM-A226B using Tapatalk

    Sounds like a good walk. Yes I doubt it gets much visitors now the Kelly Knight Access is closed. Such a pitty, I really liked that part of the park. I think I recognise that camp site even. Must do...

    Thanks for the memories. Down on the Pouranaki faces below the Kelly Knight turn off. The same route as your trip. Mid 80's. 241316

    Quite nostalgic reading that. Bit of a sniffle from the old guy. Thanks for posting that.

    They are still a bargain compared to the $ for the SG, Kuiu etc and have a lifetime no questions/ conditions warranty so I think it's still money well spent.

    I like a larger pack. No stress trying to squeeze everything in and turn you also have heaps of room for meat. Once you synch them down they are no bigger then a smaller capacity one anyway, just...

    I have a 65l Osprey Atmos Ag and love it. Bit too many pockets for some folks but they are streamlined and it cinches down very slim when only out for a night or two

    The M77 .243 Win is a 1:9”. So the 90gr ELDX will stabilise fine (>1.8 Miller value). They can be a little fussy for optimal accuracy - you’ll need to fiddle around with seating depth to find...

    Your rifle should be a 1/10t and it should stabilize the 90gr ELDX just fine. According to my calculations at 1.1" in length and running a 2800 to 3000fps at the muzzle, your rifle will comfortably...

    Best check the rifling twist requirements of the projectile and your barrel twist. I suspect they may not be stable. GPM.
