I flip a coin :D The 243 is for meat hunting when I’m targeting smaller bodied animals (red yearlings/spikers, or fallow). The 308 is for anything else (stags in the roar, or open country where...

There's two separate issues going on there. Firstly tyre construction. If your tyres are the originals they will likely be lower thread count, maybe 27tpi or possibly 60tpi if you're lucky. You...

Those goats were shot at about 40 metres. Head/neck (high neck). Distance 60-80 metres (max) so long you can place the shots as mentioned before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've fallen sideways onto a carbon pole with the end jammed in rocks, felt it bend like a banana and thought I was about to get a bunch of carbon splinters embedded in my ass. But even with that load...

I’ve been using them in a 7mm08. Its not my main hunting rifle so I’ve only shot a dozen or so animals with them but I have yet to have a result to make me question their performance. I’ve used...

Awesome cheers all for the input! Some great info there. I’ll have a bit of a yarn with the fellas and make a d around whether we stick with Cascade or do Oamaru. Sounds like either way is a win,...

i had both and rate the leupolds above the swaro, Glass was very good on both. The features of the leupold (to me) make it a far better scope. Alumina caps, the zero stop dial system, and firedot...

Swaro Z5 definitely has better optical performance to my eyes. Have both as well as VX6. Swaro has the edge. You can buy a 2turn turret for Z5 from a guy in Tauranga, either custom or moa for about...
