Anyone have any idea on a DS score? If you need measurements I’ll get them. Think I might need a bigger shed:XD: Pretty stoked! With rifle that I put together, roll your own ammo and free range...

Here’s to 2022 and to kick it off on the trophy front for everyone. Well my best head yet. He tried to give me the slip as the heard he was with went right. I dropped back into the woods to...

TeRei unfortunately the old timers who tell you things like that, forget to mention how many times the bullet didn't hit the exact spot required to kill a deer with a 22 short and a deer ran away...

Dropped a deer 20 mins up the Te Iringa track not long ago, so yeah they are about. I think the AK lock down will have had an impact on deer behaviour and numbers over the central NI with a lot of...

Well done. Nothing wrong with the area you were hunting. It is as good as anywhere at Clements as a lot of people drive right past it. The deer don't seem to suffer from the presence of a few...

Yes it will do everything you need it to from 0 - 500 if suitably scoped and drop chart sorted. Recoil is a step up if you've been used to a 6.5cm, 243 etc but completely manageable, no dramas at all...

That looks like it did in the bad old days in Sussex / Surrey on the dairy farms, before myxomatosis struck. What cartridge did you shoot them with?
