    I went ahead and bought the rifle/scope package. I'll have to stick with my Diamondbacks for a while longer :)

    My thinking is that if I had the money I would upgrade the binos first. However for a $1000 investment I will get a custom rifle that I know is a shooter, a MUCH better scope, and a weekend guided...

    Bagheera liked post by Pommy On thread : The grendal. Is it dying?
    Steelisreal and I decimated a mob of pigs at the weekend. They were 200m away and I used a 20" Grendel, shooting 100gr NBT's at 2800fps. Contrary to what Bagheera is saying, the trajectory of that is...

    Bagheera liked post by Seventenths On thread : Public perception of rifles
    As a 16 year old in the 90's I used to bike down the road with gun on my back heading off to a local farm to shoot bunnies and never ever got a bad reaction and the same goes about 15-18 months ago...

    I'm with Tussock. We've come a long way (?) since 1967 when I left my parent's home in an Auckland suburb on a Friday afternoon to go hunting throughout the South Island. Wearing a large backpack and...

    Bagheera liked post by Tussock On thread : Public perception of rifles
    No, why would I? I'm not doing anything illegal and I have a genuine reason to carry it. The old bat who pulled a face probably always does. Her mate gave us a smile and the rest of the people were...

    Shoot it out to 500m and actually see how much you have to dial for zero. Then get the custom dial made.

    Bagheera liked post by 7.62 On thread : Sako carbonlite
    Interesting. I’ve got a couple of short action 85s, one of which I‘ve owned for 12 years, and I’ve never had a problem. They eject reliably regardless of how quick the bolt is cycled

    For those of you who are interested in getting some decent peep sights, Skinner make 2 versions that fit the vast majority of rifles. The "rimfire" version fits onto a 3/8 dovetail, and will work...
