    I use 2 manuka sticks for spotlighting. Sitting behind a frame pack makes a good rest on the tops.

    Take this to the extreme limit. I have 75gr and 85gr Barnes-X in .257 for anyone interested. Deer bullets at an MV of 3800 ft/sec from a 25-06.

    Perhaps you would like to share your actual practical experience with killing animals with a 2506, rather than cherry picked numbers from the internet to suit your given position. A typical load for...

    Even tho I was foolish enough to part with my 25-06 a number of years back, I still have a hankering for another. I dont actually give a rats arse whether it has less oomph at 276.5 metres, or that...

    Unable to travel to NZ, I had to go to Croatia. I wasn't able to film this hunt as well as I'd like, but still some scenery here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVn5lG_9knI
