I’m running 6-24 on my 300 WM great for long range but not ideal for the bush. Magnification is too high at 6 and it’s heavy.The best feature you can have is quality glass start there. I have been...

Plus one for Malcom. Give St Winifreds a look, nice hut or push up up to Veil bivouac. Solid hut well looked after by the local NZDA. In November the Thar are easy to spot with the distinct golden...

When I was looking to go to a long range tops gun I was leaning toward 7mm RM, then ended up with 300 WM. A light rifle with
26 in barrel so went muzzle break which works incredibly well on recoil...

Raising this one - looking at the doc site doesn’t look like any 1080 was dropped in the Whitcombe Mungo area - is anyone able to confirm? Looking to head in there next Easter.

Had 6 days up the Rangitata - flew in with Malcolm - beats the drive in that’s for sure. The tahr are there - spend time glassing, usually started appearing in the afternoon. There summer coat...

We got large burn 4th period. It’s late and an outer block but still very happy.

Had a good day out in block 2 yesterday. Wind was a frustration - strong easterly with gale force gusts through to lunchtime.
, made it noisy as and set the winds swirling through the trees.
Lots...

Thanks LH. & Maddog. Was google earthing but wasn’t sure if the tree state seen was similar. Will find out Sunday.

I’m a plus 1 for Woodhill block 2 on Sunday and wondered if there was any info on the block?


Conscious that I haven’t done the intro thread first so here goes - Papakura based done bit of...

I use RL 22 for my 300WM so when I saw it suggested MRP was the same I did some research. A) can I buy it and B) is it the same.

No and not really - close but different. Read info on long range...

My experience with the inreach mini has been pretty good. Number one you must load all your contacts via Garmin explore and then sync the device. Messaging and replying via text is not an issue -...

I managed to get 1 kg each of 2208, 2209 and 2217 main issue is magnum primers although some RL 22 would be helpful

I had a few days at Neilson this time last year, plenty of goats and good pig sign, no fallow seen. River was easy to cross but it’s the 20-30m down the bank that made it interesting. Flyblown great...

Yep, just needed to be tweaked. Fairly firmly

Are you running a muzzle break? I had a similar problem with my 300 WM, after much grief, mate picked up Break wasn’t quite square after 3rd shot. just wasn’t tight enough. Simple fix fortunately

Was a good read https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.25-08+.25+Souper.html

I was intrigued so googled HN 2508. It’s either a reference to a model train https://reynaulds.com/products/Arnold/HN2508.aspx or the 0.25 ‘souper” which sounded pretty interesting.

No joy for our group of six, 3 from 5 now. Odds do favour the 2or 4 groups. More chances in the main draw and the in the final sweep probably more likely as well. We’re still keen on a SI trip, will...

Only done two trips there. Softbait for blue cod- whitetail - hard to stalk for me - but I’m way too noisy in the bush anyway. Best way for me was to find the broadleaf then the sign and set up a...

Was my first visit, went down Saturday as mentioned lots of people and I thought a reasonable mix of stands. What I was pleased to see was the wide range of people attending; families and wives in...

Just got back from long weekend hunting trip there. Right Branch, Casino and Takarua burned down Duckville still there. Beyond that not sure.

Just checked in with Nelson lakes hunting@doc. Blocks will be open during the roar, Dates for Roar 23 will be posted on the Nelson lakes hunting page when available. Just getting through the current...

I took an inreach mini to Fiordland, the family really appreciated the regular contact and was also able to contact chopper and confirm pick up spot and timings. I liked the premium weather forecast...

Metvuw is good I also use yr.no. As others have said longer range is indicative. Was watching long range closely before Fiordland and the 10 days tended to be exaggerated with 3 days pretty much on...
