    I see you are in Otago, I recommend shooting rabbits with your 223. You get plenty of shots in and will be putting plenty of trigger time in. I was running a 223 for rabbits and it really gets you...

    Don’t use the .223 on deer if you are flustered or rushed. It’s a caliber for cool heads and steady hands. But on the other hand it can teach you to shoot well and make correct bullet placement...

    All good advice above. The 223 is a capable round on deer with appropriate bullets and placement. It does run out of energy pretty quickly tho and it doesnt have a hell of a lot to start with so...

    If you don’t already have good binos then that’s definitely the best investment. These are invaluable when hunting and spotting game. After that consider good scope like a 2or3-12 or 3-15 or 18. You...

    "Trophy" means different things to different people. Its contextual. I took this chap out yesterday and he was thrilled to shoot this prime meat animal in stunning surroundings. Just look at that...

    Had a mid afternoon knock off from work so grabbed my gear and rifle and went out to a local block. Arrived just after 3.30 and headed up the track which climbs fairly steeply in places. Once into a...

    The stag that I shot recently came charging across a face and headed to a wallow, where it spent quite some time before I shot it at 230 yards with my 7mm RM. I videoed the entire thing and thought...

    Absolutely and it appears theirs plenty of 147 eldm on the shelves so that’d make you the first person to buy a prc in the last 2 years that can actually fuel it without selling body parts
