They don’t allow hunting but if you are just keen to photograph you could contact https://paradisetrust.nz/ and see if you can have a look round with a camera. Saw a few whitetail when we stayed...

Yeah contents insurance will be next step. The wording in the warranty says ‘We will repair or replace your SIG SAUER product in the event it becomes damaged or defective, at no charge to you. If we...

Anyone done a damage warranty claim for a sig scope? Took a savage tumble on a river bed with my Sierra3 BDX and managed to put some good gouges on the glass that are pretty obvious when looking...

Had the chance to go turkey hunting in Ontario, I reckon the ones we have running round NZ must be some dumbed down domestic stock as these buggers were super cagey and ran or flew at the first hint...

Last time I checked varuste no longer shipped meindels - suspect local distributor put some pressure on manufacturer. Could still use a freight forwarder to bypass.

Resurrecting this old thread - how long approx does it take to get up the river bed to the DOC block- looks like around 4km? - would an hour or so get you in there? Will be up near there for the...

Go on then… a mountain bipod + one titanium and one sling rail.

Actually there is plenty of examples of the damage domestic cats do to native species, this one comes to mind from Kaikoura. Undoubtably ferals do way more damage but a domestic model with a strong...

I have been running a naturehike for around 4 years now, had it up in the snow, decent rain and tested to collapse in a 80-100km gusts of wind in the tops. Only damage was some of poles are a bit...

Double post

useraccounts only looked at them in passing, pricing is comparatively high compared with other options - not sure how much this is due to demand for anything with a Toyota badge vs better...

Cheers team good to know what to beware of.

Looking for a cheap 4x4 as a second vehicle able to handle some light off-roading for hunting trips and towing a light trailer/boat around. Anyone got any experience with these utes?

Comparing...

Had 67gr of 2217 pushing 162 eldm and eldx in xbolt 7mm RM. Eldm for the win with three holes touching then a couple of POI corrections. 230894230895 now just have to get some more rounds loaded and...

I have the serria 3 scope and rangefinder. System is pretty easy to use - have shot out to 500 and on weird angles and always seems to spot on. Scope is fairly heavy but has held its zero pretty well...

I have the serria 3 scope and rangefinder. System seems to work - have shot out to 500 and seems to hold its zero pretty well. The scope optics aren’t great - reticle is really chunky and obscures...

Awesome thanks for the info guys.

Question for south Canterbury folks - has anyone managed to get access to Blue mountain & Four Peaks Range conservation blocks without having to pay the Blue Mountain Station access fee? On the...

I bought this guys recipe book a while back - some great ideas to level up your tramping/hunting food… https://campfirecreations.co.nz/fast-light/

7mm RM with suppressor or brake is pretty tame in terms of recoil so wouldn’t discount one if you see a good deal.

Also the NZDA range next door if the Handloaders doesn’t work out - I think next open day is the 10th. 10am till 4pm - $25 for non members. Can get busy but generally some helpful folks around.

Don’t think I would rely on it to dial up on an animal but have used it to help put a pin on an animal down across a valley - range with rangefinder and use Topo50 to set bearing and match distance...

Found it pretty good for the price point. Have slept in snow on it in a decent sleeping bag and stayed warm enough. Don’t like it with quilts when cold as the groves can let a bit of a breeze in....

Cheers fellas. Nice to know my blather is appreciated. It is pretty interesting country, almost a shame we got the animals the first morning, would have been great to make the most of my two night...
