    Same. Missed a Hind and yearling late one morning on a river. ( about 10 am and I had my rifle on the pack as we had already done a walk through at sun rise then back to the hut for breakfast). Dog...

    Thanks for the extra Dog info. I had an idea that the trails/hunting sector had accepted them. Your Ms Scarlet was a lovely looking dog. Looks about a similar size and coat weight to the Welsh...

    Moa Hunter liked post by ZQLewis On thread : DOC land claimed to be private land?
    Had that experience years ago on the north face of Pirongia. Had the maps etc, they disputed it as their land. Was a good spot for goats as rough grass and scrub over a large area, so you could...

    I fitted an SM to a Laminated stock. Was a rem 700 SA laminated thumbhole. Had to take an extra 4-5mm out at the front as the action is a little longer. Also had to carve a little out to let the...

    Horses for courses. Target and long range in good light needs a fine cross hair. However for my hunting I really like the German #4 type. Heavy enough to make them out against shadow and the...

    dannyb liked post by ZQLewis On thread : Suppressors - one size fits many? - is it 'safe'?
    I would not say anything grey about it. The hole size has to be spec'd for the largest Bore/Calibre projectile you will use and the silencer body has to be rated for the largest powder capacity...

    MB liked post by ZQLewis On thread : Which 4 guns do I need in NZ?
    Yes if you have a 7mm RM you like then I can't see any point in the 308 or 30-06. 22rf, Shotgun make sense. A 223 is a good choice for a volume shooter, easy on the body, accurate and cheap. 7mm...

    Moa Hunter liked post by ZQLewis On thread : H414 powder in 45-70 ? Hodgdon data
    H414 is the same as W760, spherical ball powders. If you check all the load data as well you will find it is identical. Nb if you go back a long way it may be different. Z
