    Yeah, part of the reason we made the move was that we could buy a better farm yet reduce debt considerably. Helped by the high prices carbon forestry were paying in our area at the time. We were...

    Well, if it "fair" or not doesn't come into it. IF they leave their firearms unattended for all to view the consequences are self made. Don't have to agree with it but it's the law that we now have...

    Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that an example of what led to the last register being disassembled by police ? To many inaccuracies, combined with false or misleading data that was to...

    I recently purchased a Smith and Wesson revolver, ex- NZ Police (the handgun that preceded the Glock in their armoury). The advertisement displayed the "serial number" (let's say it is 78******). Got...

    One of the very first times I took a thermal monocular out in the field it was a cool but sunny day in early winter. I got to the top of a spur that overlooked a gully and sat down and began glassing...

    I have found a termal handy if you hunting pine forests during the day if its not too hot. In a block where you might get a deer if your lucky without one, with a thermal you end up seeing 10-12 and...

    Greetings, I have not used slugs but from my reading, in a smooth bore, they are a short range option, very short. Fifty years ago a .303 was a cheap option hunting rifle but no longer. They are no...

    As a student in the 70s my blokes flat couldn't afford supermarket meat, let alone local butcher's. I had a 303 and would ride the CB500F from the 'Tron out to Raglan hills to a place I could pick up...
