Ryan_Songhurst What do you prefer, the inov8s or the La Sportiva Trangos? Horses for courses or a clear winner?

I was under the impression that Loopy warranties wouldn't cover these sorts of accidents. I had a similar mishap when my sling broke on me in the bush. Luckily the scope still works fine, but...

Don't intend on letting this one go by, Micky. I was so keen on this, in no small part due to your glowing, forum wide reviews, that I was pricing up a trip down south!

Very interested, Hunty1. PM inbound.

Hey all.

Looking for a specific bit of advice regarding a trademe post.

This item looks good to...

Nevermind a bloody second one. I'm happy shooting them one at a time.
Good advice so far though, lads. No need to spend heaps is what I'm hearing. I'll have a look at those bags you suggested, Tahr.

You fellas must have spines of iron. I have a Huntech Pikau that I use for pack lunches when I take the kids to the park. No frame, seat belt straps for a harness. I can get 20 odd kgs plus of meat...

Good afternoon.

I've got a few successful hunts under my belt and I'm looking at upgrading some of the cheap (in some cases free) gear I got initially to get underway. First up is my backpack.

I got my first deer yesterday. A nice red stag.

After two luckless day trips in the Southern Tararuas and one in the Aorangis, I went for another optimistic armed walk into the Tararuas. I had...

My 30 l pack tends to disagree, though I acknowledge that might be due to its poor construction. You fellas reckon a 30 or 40 litre pack with a frame will be sufficient?

Kia ora koutou.

I have a 30 litre frameless pack which, while it has served me well, I want to replace soon. I hunt exclusively on daytrips, though I have ambitions, years away, to go on multi day...

Cheers mate. I'll play a leave on that ball, then.

Hi all.

I'm looking at a secondhand Garmin GPS 76 and I'm after some information or opinions on it.
Based on the Garmin website it seems that it doesn't display your location on a topo map, nor...

100 meters, bro.

The shot off to the left was the second in the group. One and three are touching. I'm fairly confident that shot two is down to shooter error.
And I'm awful with the batarang. That's the motivation...

I just bought my first rifle, a Tikka T3X Lite in .308 Winchester. Chopped to 20 inches and threaded by DPT for one of their suppressors. I've mounted a Leupold VX3 4.5 - 14 x 40 with blued Tikka...

Is there any way to tell if the stock is a compact/youth stock or do you just have to measure it?

You don't have to do anything stupid like dismount the scope to coat the rings completely?

Hi everyone.

I recently bought a pair of blued Tikka Optilock rings from this forum. What is the best way to clean them and prevent them from rusting? I've searched a lot of old forum posts and...

Greetings, grandpamac.
I should have been clearer, I've given up on the 6.5 Swede as my first rifle. I agree with you that I am still a fan of the cartridge, particularly if I was to hand load.

I...

Furthermore, sorry if it feels like constant nonsense updates...

But, I think I'll be shooting a 150 grain bonded bullet: either a Federal Fusion or a Sako Super Hammerhead. Whatever it is, it's...

The lack of full power factory ammo was the major factor.

I spent a lot of time considering the .243. In the end I was convinced by Nathan Foster's observations that there are no prizes for...

Kia Ora Te forum.

After you all convinced me to ditch my 6.5x55 musings and knuckle down to a .308, I have spent the last couple of months weighing up which rifle I should get

I have largely...

Correct, I won't be dialling initially. I believe I will use MPBR, stalk as close as I need to then aim for the centre of the vitals.

Why is that? Inaccuracy? Less effective bullets? 270 is easier on the shooter?
