If you change from a bolt to a lever or semi you need to retrain your instinctive shooting or you will fire one shot and grab for the bolt handle.

Ive pondered this many times in last 35 years since I swapped it for bolt action .270 and if completely 100% honest with myself at least 75% of animals Ive shot in that time I could have done just...

Yes and no. Might do the job but definitely not equal or near the .243. As have been mentioned, modern rifles with fast twist barrels and better powder options breath new life into older calibers....

Fed blue box. If a gun doesn't shoot fed blue box well then it doesn't shoot full stop.

On a recent hunt I had to cross about 300m of wide open country where the deer had clear line of sight right at me. I already knew this was likely to be the case so I dressed accordingly. I wore...

I feel weird wearing camo, and generally don't see the point of it. Just a way for hunting brands to sell more kit. Far too much overseas tacticool influences coming into the local NZ hunting scene....

The way I look at it is whatever you hunting doesnt wear camo and they are hard enough to spot without it. More just dull browns and greens seem to work usually your movement is what will get you...

I wasn’t specifically thinking of a remmy when I approached him about it. It was an action that he’d built up years ago for himself, and it had all the custom work already done. The price was a steal...

Could care less about calibre. The aim of the game is to get as close to an animal as possible and put the round where it counts. Long-range target shooting on live animals where ballistics is the be...
