The Turangi fishery is going well at the moment, maybe the cold snap and or moon phase? Had 4 days, landing a fish per half hour of fishing on average. Only one slab, and about 50% freshies.

Yes, 11oz to 17oz is a 50% weight increase. But, are you comparing the same models ? For example, I have two Leupold scopes of the same model ( VX6 1-6 x 24 ), one non-illuminated, the other...

I’m not sure where you have got the 50% idea from. In my experience of owning plenty of illuminated and non illuminated scopes, any weight difference is negligible. Maybe 50grams? Sent from my...

I once went out and after a very long drive and hike in, realised that I had the bolt from my 223 in the 7mm I was carrying. I store my rifles in the safe with the bolts in now. I also once went...

Factory ammo does vary quite a bit even lot to lot. 5 or 6 years ago I recall being surprised by some Sako 308 ammo, ES was over 100fps within the same box. In the weekend I tested some 22 match...

Its a silly statement and they deserve to be the ex mayor. Results in the Hunua ranges are pretty impressive though, mid 1990s there were only 25 kokako, 24 of those 25 were males, because the...
