    Finnwolf liked post by gundoc On thread : falcon having a go
    They are not so cool when they attack you from behind and try to lift your scalp off! I was above Karamea gold panning about 1K from a marked nesting area. A totally silent attack. I have a photo...

    Watched this one chase a sparrow around my dog kennels one day. Sparrow dived into a pile of old branches. Falcon landed and proceeded to ripp chunks of wood off trying to reach him. This went on for...

    Finnwolf liked post by Backcountry Bob On thread : 222 vs 223 on deer
    Bought my Sako Vixen .222 from the NZFS in the early 70's for $180 if my memory is correct. Still got it. Had it re-blued and re-chequered a few years ago and restored the accuracy by cutting an inch...

    Well this is a cool post I'm just starting a 222 Rimmed build. Some guys would think that's odd with absolutely no factory ammunition available. I have somewhere around 25 different...

    Finnwolf liked post by Kimber 7mm-08 On thread : What magnification are you running in the bush?
    1.25-4 vx-r. Normally set to about 2, 3 as an absolute max. Should be able to pick up deer the first time you raise your rifle up. If you have magnification set too high and 'lose' the deer through...

    Finnwolf liked post by Cyclops On thread : Firearm storage near National park village
