    Salomons are great boots. Straight out of the box comfortable. They dont last too long though.

    In the nztopo50 app, you can use the option in the bottom left “Go To”. Just enter the distance and bearing and it’ll project a point, which you can then go directly to or save as a waypoint.

    Hi Taka, I think the answer to your question depends a lot on how you hunt, where you hunt and how you do your holds / dial. I've been using NF and Leupold optics for 19 years and only use NF...

    251921 Sika vs 75gr eldm yesterday. Amazing the expansion even with a low muzzle velocity. At 20 odd yards no part of the bullet exited her head.

    Mostly bush hunting you need minimum 3x or lower in the bottom end. You want good glass for low light and if practical, illumination is a nice to have. You've said you're mostly bush hunting which...

    The ideal scope would be something like a 2.5 to 10. Or something like the March 1.5 to 15 but with a 30 mm tube in first focal plane instead of 34mm tube. Also if Swarovski could have done their old...
