Sounds a bit ugly...have it but never used it myself. Seems popular in US for whitetail. Guess they have a long tradition of using buckshot on bucks :) also guessing its a woods load at fairly close...

After playing around with buckshot for years in various shotguns I found that factory "modified" or half choke usually performed the best, holding killing patterns out to 40 yd max. It is...

As a student in the 70s my blokes flat couldn't afford supermarket meat, let alone local butcher's. I had a 303 and would ride the CB500F from the 'Tron out to Raglan hills to a place I could pick up...

Apparently these Haviks are a Husqvarna clone, others will know. Had a 20" for two years and never lost a beat until I lost a screw in the chain brake system and I haven't used it since incase it...

At todays charge out rates it'd be cheaper to throw a brand new aftermarket carby on a saw, if its playing up. Then watch half a dozen YT;s on tuning a saw. Its relatively easy to do...though you do...

A mate of mine has no internet, no email and no tv. Much to be admired. Wonder how the establishment expects him to be aware of the moving target that is remaining compliant

Think they have pushed the new regs into your court to find out, not their duty to inform. Surprised the numbers of hunters I meet who have zero knowledge of any changes, will probably find out the...

Lots of ex FS huts used to have racks (Caples etc) but when DOC took over and encouraged trampers to use them the gun racks got taken out - the start of Wokeness??

Last year was the first time I have been to a hut with a gun rack, but no way would my rifle fit in the slots. SAV 99 with stock pack and 2.5x10x45 scope. Other wise when in huts with trampers i...

This is why Kiwis are God's children - you just could not leave anything of value, let alone a firearm, hanging outside a hut or unattended in a hut while you went off somewhere else. It simply...
