As a matter of course I always "run in" any new scope. This is best done before fitting the scope. Sitting in front of some shit tv program is ideal. Running in involves winding the elevation and...

Love mine. Have two for our family of 4. They are big bits of kit to transport tho, so beware of that. We tend to put them up and then run a 6x4 fly over the pair for an admin area. Sent from my...

100% agreed. On top of that I have had more success of getting the majority of goats by just me shooting and taking a bit of time between shots too. Rather than 2 or 4 people bombing them up. ...

I wouldn't be using a 22LR on goats - semiauto or not. Too much opportunity for wounding. My 22 magnum will be better but is not my preferred choice. Goat is a medium framed animal in NZ terms -...

Sure, if it were me Micky Duck I would go .223 bolt action with a 10 shot mag because I back myself to cycle a well fitting, well balanced, lightweight micro action rifle pretty darn fast. But the...

I don’t really agree with the statement mate. When culling goats it’s all about picking the oldest nannies first. The yearlings and kids very rarely run away after the old girl goes down, especially...

I’ve got one here. It’s a nice stock, and it’s been well used, but is remarkably unscathed. Very tough. I’ll weigh it a bit later and let you know. Their weakness is that they are not pillar...

Have a timber boyds on my 223 and really like it, sure its heavier than the plastic but my 223 has been cut short and dpt almost touching forestock so weight is toward the rear. Durability, well...

I've got one in 7RM. Not much heavier than plastic but feels good to fire. More stable and weather resistant than walnut.

Excellent post mate. This is exactly how I've been feeling. After a few years of pinging deer and goats at 400-500m+ it all started getting a bit boring and I noticed I was leaving the properties...

Interesting poll with good and interesting answers. I would shoot a lot of my deer well under 100m. Often it is 20m. Nearly all under 200m. No matter where I hunt. I have shot them out to 500m. How...

I would think that any rim fire would lead to some pretty unethical kills / wounded goats - 22Mag would work if you could get in close but you would want good shot placement which doesn't mean fast...
