   I’m glad you started this thread. Often joked about, but you can’t really go past a 7mm08 as a do all kiwi hunting rifle. I’ve used a few but only ever owned one. This little Model 7, with a carbon...

   Update for anyone who is interested. This is how the .308 came out. Overall length with suppressor is 1080mm and 910mm without. Barrel is about 16". Going to be awesome for tight bush without the...

   I think the 7mm08 is about right among the mid size cartridge class. Fits a 2.8" bolt and mag, doesn't need a fat bolt face. Marginally smaller bore than the 308 but not getting tight like the...

   Southerner223 liked post by Bos On thread : Are hunters taking longer shots these days?

   Yep, I agree. Social media has a huge influence on hunting these days. The days of inch and a half high at a hundred to shoot anything out to 300yds are gone, and most of us had a lot of trouble...

   Shot my first deer with a 7mm08. Owned a 308 for a good 8 years and then got a 7mm08 of my own. For around here in the bush and coming onto clearings it's a dag of a rifle. I'd still flip a...

   You certainly have to hit them in the right place. Regardless of caliber. But you do get a margin of error with the heavier .223 bullets. Here's an example from a couple of days ago. Head shot...

   Poor performance can happen with any bullet, but in this day and age it doesn't make any sense to be using 55gr bullets in a .223 with a fast twist barrel. The heavier 70-80gr bullets work a lot...

    Ok thanks guys, that's a bit of a bummer aye. You would think that a small screw on cds style ( not big like Swaro's current fairly large BT ) would be mint, was hoping someone skilled with a 3d...
