On the back of Grampamac's advice above I measured all of my shell holders and there certainly is a lot of variation especially between the Hornady and Lee versions, so I have incoming a set of 5...

My Sako AV Finnbear in 30-06. I put a DPT on it and it is a joy to shoot. With 180 grn SST it will easily do under .75 of MOA if I do my bit.

Hi Bluebaiter222, #11 is marked a Vixen L461. It was interesting comparing the three sako's we had chasing sika last week, one was called a Vixen/Hunter apparently mean't for the american market but...

Vixen 222 and red stag at Ruahine Corner, and we all took Sako 222s in for a week sika hunting this year and it nailed a small 8 and 2 hinds.249111

Last year Mangaturutu received 4 airborne visits, and to date this year has received 5 visits. A mate of mine walked over from Venison Tops to Mangaturutu a few weeks ago and spooked a stag about...

The huts cannot be booked, however the helipad becomes unavailable to land on when booked, so other parties should not be landed on top of a legitimately booked party. Anyone can walk in and stay at...

Thanks Tahr, I am looking forward to being dry again! Did you tape it as well?

This feels like a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. Do you apply on the outside or the inside, or maybe both? I have a good hunting coat that now leaks through the seams so have ordered some of the...

Hi all, the research shows the April 19th as the peak of the first cycle, and 22/23 days later (11-12th May) would be the peak of the second cycle. May certainly is a good time to target stags. My...

I used to have bike inner tube rolled onto the lenses and when it was wet just unroll them and they stop quite a bit of water, but it still gets in. On this occasion I had a shot through a gap in the...

Hi all
I was in the Kawekas in November and the weather was a little damp and I couldn't shoot a deer 20m in front of me due to the wet rear lense of my scope which was totally blurred. A bit gutted...

Hi Tahr Are these packs quiet in the jungle? They look good
Cheers Ruger

Here is a link to a photo of the Bruce hut, which eventually fell into disrepair and was removed. The hut in the Rabbitor's Reserve is known as the Miracle Hut, the original can be seen in this link,...

The hut on the photo in the Rabbiters Reserve is managed by Mokai Station who have developed it for their own use and is part of ongoing discussions with DOC. The access through Mokai has just been...

Hi Gary
Can you recommend a Pachmayr for a Benelli Vinci?
Thanks

Hi Dombo
Just wondering where you purchased the recoil pad from, as I haven't been able to track one down in NZ?
Thanks

Hi Dombo
My Vinci has the same issue, was the Limbsaver easy to attach? Any photos?

Micky, you are correct if you use your range finder the distance will be the same back to the firing point, however if you use your GPS to measure the distance it will be the horizontal distance that...

Using a sighting compass is many times more accurate than a basic silva compass. I got a Suunto one last week for $55 and will get you into the search area, and using any other clues like trees,...

Another way is to use your compass(a sighting one is best) and take a bearing on the shot animals last position, then save a waypoint of where you shot it from, and then "GoTo' your shooting waypoint...

Such sad and unfair news. I always stopped in Taihape to chat with Giles and usually made a purchase or two as he always had something that was below the competition. If you had something in mind he...

The Northern Ruahine operation missed its window so has been postponed until next year. I heard they are going to wait until the roar is over and then will try and get it completed. Call the palmy...

Well done Grandpamac! I met you on the track a couple of years ago and we had a good ole chat about everything and reloading. That beech patch is a fair hike so well done! I hope to be over there...

Thanks for the replies and advice, much appreciated. Shearer is your scope a 40 or 50 objective and how do you rate the glass? I think I will start looking for a replacement scope with Rainguard for...

Hi all
Had a few days in the Kaweka's recently and the weather was shit and when I was wet through so was my scope which required continuous cleaning which is a pain and I wondered if it was also...
