    you will not change me I have shot a lot of deer with a .222 and 55 grain projectiles ( all factory and supplied ) but give me a 308- bigger hole- bigger blood trail - just does the job more...

    Oldbloke liked post by Mararoa On thread : Hunting with glasses/contacts

    Oldbloke liked post by bjp On thread : Is the 303 obsolete?
    I think the main point is, yes there are good 303s out there, but they are probably not the cheap ones! I sold an inexpensive Rossi 308 single shot for under $500 that shot a sub 2moa group at...

    Might be your footsteps, if I'm in the bush and someone is near I can easily hear them 100m away. And these are animals that evolved over tens of millions of years to listen out for a snapped twig
