Got to confess to being a big fan of the 7mm’s. While I have a few 30cals, 6.5 and 6mm, for me 7mms are the sweet spot in terms of a hunting rifle for NZ conditions & game. I have developed a...

Day 3 – Saturday 3rd December After a fairly good sleep, apart from the sore knees and a 3:30am teeth-chattering dash to the longdrop, I got up fairly late again and had breakfast, then headed out...
