   One tip - yanking frantically on the trigger (instead of the guard lever) does not open the action, no matter how many times you do it...thankfully I learnt this playing at home and not while hunting!

   XR500 liked post by Cigar On thread : Is shooting / hunting less popular in NZ these days?

   We have had two new families move in to neighbouring properties over the last few months, the fathers are both hunters so we have a bit of a cluster here now.

   I would still go with the 16' 1:8 I bought for shooting suppressed bush hunting with the dog. But I also have a 23.5" 1:12

   I have the 16.5" version, I haven't tried 125gr but it's fine with 150s. The 16.5 doesn't have open sights, but if you chop the 20 I guess it won't either!

    The Waingongoro (near Normanby/Hawera) is a pretty good trout river.

    Woody liked post by Cigar On thread : Hunting with a lower powered scope

    I had a 2.5x fixed power on my 308 for over 25 years (now it's got a 2.5-8x), zeroed at 200m and never had any issues, so double the magnification would be fine to 300m. I have another rifle a with...

    Yesmate liked post by Cigar On thread : what are people thinking the start date of the roar will be .... ?

    Me too if I can drag my butt out of bed at 2:30am. The stags were going off in my spot on the 7th of April 1994, hopefully they are doing the same 28 years later!
