Interesting conclusion from the Saffa. Personally, of all the common aim points, a heart shot is about my least favoured as there’s a fair chance the animal will run a considerable distance despite...

Hey mate, I got it from Top Gear. But be advised that I think they run a “lean inventory” (i.e. I think they’re prone to having stuff on their website which they may not have in stock). After I...

Had this arrive today. First impressions are very good, the handle is slimmer than what I’m used to but feels nimble, and it won’t get lost in a hurry! Savagely sharp too, sharpest out-of-the box...

I don’t think she’s casually jumped on the bandwagon because it’s another fashionable cause for the woke to be involved in. She’s a lot more invested than that, a rabid anti-firearms zealot and one...

Nice looking blade mate, something like that would be perfect

I might have to track Bill down one of these days as I understand he’s still making knives, although he’s getting on a bit

I don’t have one, but want one!

Ground Control is your mate in Aussie? If so I guess that rules out a suppressor, unless he happens to be in NSW and can provide a highly compelling case to the local constabulary..

As others...

Dreamer as others have said, the Pureora north and south blocks are handy to Oto and are well worth a look

If you had more time up your sleeve I’d also recommend a mission down to the Kaimanawas,...

Hasn’t been a lot of BBQing happening over the last couple of months but cranked up the smoker and did a pork shoulder. Added a cup of apple cider vinegar for the final half of the cook, pretty good...

The 3-15 should be fine. I have a 2-12 and I use it on 3x in the bush, the optics are a bit weird at 2x in the bush for some reason so I don’t have it set that low. But the 2-10 will have a...

-suppressed 308 with 16in barrel for the bush
-braked 7mmRM or 6.5PRC with 24in barrel for the tops (and some ear plugs. Brake optional for the PRC)

-or if you want just one rifle: suppressed 308...

We’ve got an espresso machine at home and get through a fair bit of coffee, but when I’m in the bush I just take a container of Moccona and some UHT milk or cream. I find Moccona pretty damn good as...

100%. There would be very few scenarios where a 223 outperforms a 243. Perhaps if you were using a hard bullet in the 243 and it was pencilling through with minimal damage. Otherwise, not a chance

A Leupold 2.5-8x36 with Boone & Crockett reticle would be hard to beat (if you can find one)

Probably a VX5 2-10

2.4-12 Swarovski would also be a good option, or a 2nd hand VX6 2-12 (quite pricey if going brand new!)

Micky Duck your M8 3x will be a 3x20mm (25.4mm tube with a 20mm lens housed within)

4x28
2.5-8x36
3-9x40
2-12x42
All leupys apart from a token zeiss. If I had a 7mmRM or similar I think I would want a 3.5-18. If I had a pure bush rifle I’d be keen to try a fixed 1.5x or a red...

A fast twist 6CM with high BC bullet outperforms a slow twist 243 with a lower BC bullet, no question, especially when the range stretches out.

But I doubt that a big red hind hit in the hilar...

The 6mm creedmoor makes a lot of sense ballistically but the lack of factory rifles and ammo is enough to put me off. This could also make the rifle difficult to sell if you decide to flick it off at...

LOL, a question about barrel lengths has become a full blown 243 vs 308 debate! I own both and for me the 243 is ideal for meat hunting; it’s plenty of gun for hinds/spikers/yearlings (the 308 is a...

After passing up a young 4 pointer and then having a couple of other stags give us the slip, my hunting mate roared in this ancient 6 pointer for me (more of a 5 really but technically still a 6) on...

Keep an eye out for something that’s 2nd hand but tidy, you’ll often pay half the RRP ...

That book was only ever published as a hard cover and there was only one edition
