Nice cheers grabbed the x500, x1000 still available

Yup sold out just like that. I do wonder why they don't split up the pack into 100's and then put a limit of two or something so at least it can get shared around a bit, plus they'd be able to charge...

PARD is another really good option, save yourself a grand as well. If you're mainly using it in the bush and don't need it for spotting at long range then I'd make sure your field of view is as wide...

Thought I'd share a little project I've been working on, had the issue of trying to mount my coyote cannon IR torch which weighs in at 840g (with a centre of mass far forward of the rear tube)...

Taken from the Ruahine Ranges looking over Pohangina Valley with Mt Ruapehu and Mt Ngauruhoe in the background248108

Roared this fella in first thing in the morning came charging down 200m of elevation, shot him 30m from our tents, an interesting old character head from the southern ruahines248030

Sounds like you are a cautious person - that's a good start for staying safe in the bush. I would say a PLB is an absolute must, as mentioned above it gives you a bit of confidence where you might...

While it is possible to use a clip on NV without parallax adjustment on your scope it's certainly no where near as clean and your range is limited. I would actually steer away from a dedicated NV...

That just seems straight up wrong to me, must be a bug. I would abandon that app and try one of the other ones. Everyone used to recommend strelok which isn't available anymore on the app store but...

Thanks for the all the input fellas very helpful, I've made a bit of a list easiest and cheapest first and started with pulling the stock off - first thing I noticed was the action screws were snug...

I'm trying to figure out what the cause of these split groups could be, they are consistent across other groups as well to the point if you overlay other targets you see straight through both of...

If $2600 is for the scope and rifle perhaps you have money set aside for a bipod and suppressor as well? If so I'd take a look at this, gives you far more than a beginner setup for $3400...

Just to cover your top priority about coming home safely, I would second one of the above comments about not going alone. Both the terrain and the weather can be extremely wild down there and it...

I think 2217 will be on my shopping list but happy enough for now, thanks to the above advice very slowly worked up to 68.3gr (RL22) and finally started to see some pressure signs, dialled back to...

My mate and I use our enduro e-bikes, it's pretty good but if you haven't got one already and you just want to use it for hunting I'd recommend an electric off road dirt bike instead such as the...

Thanks for the input fellas, went back to the range today pushing the loads up a bit 0.5gr increments from 65.4gr to 66.9gr, the 66.9gr just got me to 2800fps. The cases looked identical throughout...

New to the whole reloading game, went to the range to start my first ladder with RL22 and 162gr ELD-X and went all the way to max (Alliant)/ 2gr above max (Hornady) and I was only pulling 2689fps,...

It's a beautiful rifle but it sounds like when you built this you didn't have the above concerns re: weight in mind , I'd either put up with it knowing that you are benefiting when it comes to...

Winchester 2950fps and Hornady 2975fps, so the Winchester is pretty close to its stated muzzle velocity from the standard barrel. Someone showed up with a tikka 270 standard length throwing...

Those Winchester rounds were indeed flying, they had a pretty tight SD as well with the longer barrel, unfortunately they grouped very poorly compared to the Hornady. All were shot with a DPT...

Ran through my first set of handloads today, unfortunately ran out of time to do the full ladder but very satisfying to send my first handloads down the range (and not have the gun blow up on me...

Just thought I'd throw some data out there for those interested in FPS after being chopped

Tikka T3X Aspire 7mm RM
Original length: 24.3"
Shortened length: 20"

Hornady Precision Hunter 162gr...

I've got the spika 25L I really rate it, nice angled back for crawling under scrub, enough space for a fully loaded day pack, very durable. I loaded up two red stag back legs (had them strapped to...

What's the running etiquette for leaving targets on the ply at the range? Usually run by "leave it as you found it" so I always take mine down but sometimes it feels wasteful as I've only put a few...

Just ran through a few rounds of precision hunter 162gr 7mmRM with my Garmin c1 and got 2819fps out the muzzle with a SD of 1.7. Box states 2975fps. T3X Aspire factory length
