    There are already NV option offered without built in IR units. Such as the Hik Micro Alpex, C50 Pulsar or the Pard Mini. The only issue is that NV units even without the IR are very good at operating...

    First time using a 40 grit disc on the angle grinder. Was amazed at how quickly you can shape something up compared to rasps etc. 290550

    Pretty sure you find that just by removing the IR you cannot circumnavigate the rules around NV on public land. Its still a NV device.

    Overall it's good to see this being talked about, even if it's a bit late. Part of the problem is we have seen a decade or more of promoting LR for a number of reasons, with little to no recognition...

    Watched the clip. A wee bit "click baity" for my liking, sorta over simplified. I don't recall my longest shot on game but I know I've passed up several memorable animals at 360M and less. I do...

    I've used Helisika many times over the years. Tongariro aviation before them and Air Charter Taupo before them. I've always been vocal of anything I think any could do better. I guess I'm a...

    Does a Blaser make sense? If thats what you want and can afford it,then thats all the sense it has to make. Blasers are popular here in Norway,so are Sporterised Mauser k98s. Both do the same job...

    Absolute H&F crap about blued and walnut rifles, Ive hunted for 50 years with them in NZ (and have my Dads rifle from 1952) and none of them are rusty or have ever caused the remotest issues by our...

    The key is to actually hunt, even in the height of WARO they didn't get every deer, let alone every stag, all this pissing and moaning about WARO says more about you as a hunter than you'd think . . .

    I'm Hanmer based and hunt it a bit. It gets a hammering and most of it is fairly accessible. That's not to say you wouldn't get something but in reality there are better places if your spending the...
