    Old_School liked post by Ruger7mm On thread : Kmart/Campmaster "Jetboil"
    So is it the butane mix proportions or the cannister pressure? Do we get what we pay for when buying gas cylinders? I would be interested to know if the more expensive cans are actually better value?...

    So for facts and figures, my campmaster arrived yesterday (couldn't help myself) and with a Kovea 70/30 can up it's bum it did from 20degC to boiling in almost 4 mins flat. 500ml from the cup...

    A jetboil and a BRS-3000T, 2 different animals. Jetboil is very fast and works well in windy conditions. The BRS is very good though. Matches well with 550ml or 750ml toaks pot.

    That's what I use for hunting trips (when I actually go hunting!). People have different needs though. Back to Kmart. The plot thickens. Had the misfortune to go in to the Whangarei store today....

    Old_School This is the Te Puke Rifle Club, any shooting day can be a "three Oh" day. We are closed for the season now but resume again in September. As we are located on a working farm. We are...

    As big as Texas. At 300 they are about 18 inches across, at 600 about 36 inches. Old_School you can come along on any club day and shoot 303 or most calibers for that matter. I was just trying...

    Maybe around 30 years. Good scopes. I still have one in perfect condition, the five star model.

    Old_School liked post by 11mms On thread : best scope mount for flashlight?
    I have run two systems to good effect. One is a "45degree canted mount weaver rail" which should fit under most scope set ups and holds the torch low and off to the side. Readily available on...

    If they are the new USA Winchester subs, ignore anything being a problem except them. Absolute rubbish. The reason they aren't feeding is probably the rim is too thick on your batch. Do yourself a...

    Not really a fair comparision as I use my competition 22 for hunting but have used my 3-15 Vortex PST a lot as well as the Delta Stryker 4.5-30. The Delta actually came in very useful for a awile...

    That is to dial it in to your preferred/needed level of "blindness" (There is probably a more optometrically correct term for this) Pointing at the sky or some far-off uniform colour thing,...

    No "touch up" or "cold blue" will be anywhere near as effective as the proper thing. And certainly not "as new" Are you wanting to "near-new" it yourself, or looking to pay someone? The cost of...

    GaryP in Napier does very good blue work. Or buy a bottle of cold blue and do a repair. Theres a very recent thread on cold blue
