Best one I have used was fantastic. Could watch a hare have a pee @1100m and then see the pee spread as the hare loped off. ID Its a deer not a cattle beast @6km.:o Trouble was, it was attached...

Yeah culling jobs are getting more common even up here the neighbours had a chopper in and cleaned up a couple hundred. I think before the finger gets pointed at farmers for not letting people we...

Greetings All, 182826 This is my Martini chambered in .30-40 Krag. It falls a little outside longshot's criteria of "still out there actively knocking over critters" but this is due to deficiencies...

Inspired by Bagheera's recent post, thought I'd write about yesterday's goat hunt. As you know, we are not blessed with great hunting in Northland. No deer, just pigs and goats. DOC blocks are...

why can't our hunting and shooting forum be more like this, instead of politics and doomsdayers.... Well done, that man.

Greetings Makara, I have a B13 with the 20 inch, 12 inch twist barrel. It is fitted with a muzzle forward DPT suppressor and is still shorter than my M700 with the same length barrel and an over...

The 20" is a 1:12 twist which is far more sensible if you don't plan on shooting subsonics. It will still stabilise up to a 180 just fine. You'll get higher velocities obviously. The barrel's a...
