Hermitage - you were right, no shipping outta USA. I think I was thinking of Optic planet and got all excited at seeing the Arken Sale.
Oh well.

Hermitage - this site https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/. Rings also 30% off. Stuff I’ll get the MOA and low rings.

Hi all,

Arken scopes are having a run out so I’m thinking of just picking something up to replace my little Elite 3200.

I know they are nothing special, but Arken scopes appear to have good...

Thanks Micky duck. I had more luuck with open sights when I was younger, but I can kiss those days long gone.
I’m going sell on most of what I’ve have and re think this over. My 3o8 is trusty so...

Thanks Micky Duck. It does appear that I’m spoiled for choice. I’ll be honest I do like the look of the Howa carbon wrapped 6.5 with precision stock that’s for sale on trademe from the upper Hutt gun...

Hi Beetroot,

Good to know the difference between the Ctr and super Varmint. I’ve done a bit of reading on the Ctr today and most seem to put it in a KSG Bravo or GRS Bi-frostfrost and cost seems...

Hi Longranger,

I think for me it was a bit of disappointment in not being out in quite a while and suffering a back injury that lead me to think a
The Ruger Rpr would be a good entry long range...

Any thanks once again Grandpamac. I’ve got to start somewhere so the t3 and a better scope will do for now.
I went and picked up a 10kg plate today and carried it around for a bit. Absolutely zero...

Thanks Micky Duck. Yip I’ve got the t3 308 with a supressor and just picked up a new Harris bipod today for it.

Thanks for your advice and guidance. I’m going to reduce the collection of what I...

Thanks Beetroot. The CTR in 6.5 with a 24 inch barrel seems to be getting a lot of love from what I’ve read. I do like the look of the new T3x super Varmint in the rough tech stock as it’s also...

Thanks chainsaw. Guncity didn’t have any 280 at all today and 3006 was low. Tons of 308, 270 and a bit of 6.5 in store with another shipment from Hornady due in 4 weeks. I didn’t check 7mm rem mag,...

Grandpamac, thanks very much for your investigation and advise. It’s Much appreciated by me and very kind of you to do some digging around for me.
Sorry to hear that shooting prone is no longer and...

Oh and a 303 and 7.62x54r

Thanks Z, never had the pleasure of firing a 243. I’ve fired .22lr, .22mag, 22 hornet, 223, 7.62x39; 357 mag, 30-30, 308, 30-06 and 300wm, oh and the good old guncity 870 clone with 00 buck and slugs.

Thanks Steve123. Target shooting on DOC land isn’t my first choice that’s for sure.

Thanks Mikee, I appreciate your input and opinions:thumbsup:

You and mauser308 have again added value for me. Much appreciate and thanks for the welcome Granpamac.

I’ve got a t3 308 with an old elite 3200 on it. It’s been ok. But I’m really interested in...

Dam sir, that’s a fantastic group.

Legendary and I though this will be pretty straight forward. Looks like I’ve got a fair bit reading and reviewing to do (And I don’t mind 1 little bit :))

Have I mentioned this forum and it’s members are tops!?! - well you all are
Many thanks :)

I meant no disrespect to any Howa owners what so ever and I thank you for your suggestions.

It seem to be suggestions to start somewhere between a .2XX and up to the 7mm or even the 300. ZQ ...

Thank you Bol. I’m going to pass on the Howa’s as I know they can be superbly accurate for the price, but I’ve read a number of reviews on US forums where they have rusted out pretty quick from...

See more bloody good advice. I haven’t really considered the recoil to be an issue, up until injuring my back anyway as now just moving can shoot pain up the spine. I was thinking the sheer weight of...

I appreciate your openness and straight up honest advise. This is why I like this community, great people who offer ever greater advice.
Much appreciated.

On and off most of my life with small to medium game. I would switch between fishing and hunting and back and fourth.
Haven’t been out in a while and moved into Wellington for work and then stuffed...
