I have an 85 Deluxe Frodo and depending on taste etc and how good the photos are I would say the wood on mine is every bit as good the two above, it's outstanding. Sako do some good wood alright....

Understood. The advice makes sense. My concern (& why I'm asking advice) is if I spend too much on binos the leisurely rate my budget comes at the animals I'd see via good binos may well have moved...

After reading through this all I think that as a new hunter I would just be more confused than ever and possibly a little intimidated by the myriad of advice and opinions. I think that the journey to...

7mm mag is a great choice for Canterbury tops hunting. If you do get a Tikka make sure you put a limbsaver recoil pad on it. Spend as much as you can on binoculars, they are what find you deer on the...

Im 70 for fucks sake. I didn't just come down yesterday. I make my own decisions based on my own experience and observations. Like farming 3000 acres on the east coast for 20 years when there were...

I think it is a very good thing that the SPCA has spoken publicly against 1080. There has been a very obvious ploy by DOC (read Forest and Bird) recently to discredit all and any person who is anti...

I agree that you can't compare mid range with top tier, but the truth is that there are some excellent binos in the top tier that are also great value. Top tier does not mean "price" to me, it means...

It's important to just set up your rifle in a way that suits you rather than get a bush pig idea in your head Find acompromise your happy with and go hunting +/- 2 inches isn't going to matter

I didn't have time to read the whole thread but a good option is the Bergara BA13TD take downs. I own one in the 308 16.5 inch stainless. It's is a tack driver. Then there is no gunsmithing cost as...

Well looks might be deceiving - It has a 16.5inch barrel and the stock forend is shorter than most. As setup it is a 22" overall barrel length with suppressor on it. The can is 80mm back and 150mm...

I don't particularly care what people choose to call them, but I wouldn't go back to full length unsuppressed rifles now. Except if I could shell out for a really nice one in Walnut and blued steel...
