To finish this thread... Hunted Block 1 with a mate yesterday. Saw a doe on the main road as we walked in, but shooting down the road is not allowed, so left it alone. We walked across the top of...

Howa superlite 308, 14.5" barrel, Vixen 2-8, weighs 2.45kg all up, good wee shooter and still puts the factory 150gr superformance out at 2750fps so good for 350 easy. If they made a floorplate for...

Jesus I really font like bowhunting for similar reasons. Everyone I have met thinks they are a cross between Robin Hood and Rambo.

I take them regularly appart for threading barrels. And put them back together and retime them no problem. Call the office at Dpt during working hours if you want.

I dont understand the .243 detractors. I have never found the boundaries of it. I can't see where I would shoot a deer with a .308 that would kill it when the .243 wouldn't. However, some factory...

Wow. You're going to be in trouble for saying that. I'm starting to get the feeling 223 users are a bit like vegans. How do you know they use one? Don't worry, they'll tell you. (Don't take it...

I think you'll have trouble with an objective test because of lack of data. E.g. does anyone ever put up photos of deer they missed or had to track and finish? Not impugning the skill or honesty of...

Nice first post. Search the DoC website. It has everything you need to know there to make a start. Otago has heaps of public land blocks to hunt which most are easily accessed. Look forward to...
