The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Not so much a go to as I seem to use the few rifles I have about the same amount depending on the situation and my mood, but if I could only keep one, this would be it. 274372

    Cycling the bolt is much easier if it is on the correct side. Also if there is a catastrophic failure in a bolt action its not right in your face.

    Same reason why a right handed person doesn't just use a left handed rifle. Its different. I can use both but a l/h drive is nicer to use

    $2.5k will get you a good left hand Tikka, with extras, but being left handed, you may just have to be a bit more patient until the right thing turns up. I just looked on Trade Me and there is...

    It's very old advice but still highly relevant, spend the most money on your binos, then scope, then rifle. A cheap scope might last a long time but it's a heck of a lot more likely not too. A good...

    I’m just down the road from you Likely there’s a Sako 7mm08 or 308 here that will fit your budget and I can set you up with a free scope and ammo that will get you going 274404

    Ive got a Helinox chair Zero it's bloody awesome. Gamechanger having a proper chair you can carry with you in your pack and it weighs under 500gms

    I would not do this unless you like sitting on the ground. I got a Torpedo 7 knockoff of the Helinox didn’t even last 2 days of a 5 day hunt. Im 80 kg, so hardly pushing the limits of the chair....

    It’s a pretty simple method of both formalising permission, and ensuring the hunter is recorded as agreeing to follow their rules and conditions. It could easily be a whole lot worse, so let’s...

    There’s another factor. The good old 90 - 10 rule. 10% of blokes shoot 90% of the deer, or catch 90% of the fish. They’re often labelled “lucky” or “tin arses”. There will be a massive range...
