Nice mate got to be happy with that. If the spot ya went to in the wairarapa is the one I’m thinking of then the secrets well out there compared to 5 years ago.

What load are ya running in your...

Sounds like a similar set up to myself but I’m running a lot heavier with only a 20in barrel. Your limit is pretty similar to mine of 500yards.

I’m running the 195 TMK at 2520. Shot about 8...

Got to love those easy hunts. Funny how it’s so easy to miss those under 100 shots.

Nice mate well earned. That’s a heck of a carry out

Shot a couple more animals over the weekend aiming to put the 195 TMK into the shoulder this time.

First animal was a fallow stag at 20yards, shot hit high in the front shoulder. Results were...

Looks like an awesome hunt. Do you take the veni to the charities broken down yourself or does it have to go through a butcher?

Not a bad find that wallow, will be great for next year.

Crickey sounds like an adventure bit of a shame it cost ya more than ya planned for ��.

Awesome video, good on ya making the most of the imposed restrictions.

I’ll chuck up my experiences with them too if ya don’t mind me adding to ya thread.

I’ve shot 5 deer with the 195 TMK out of my 308 doing 2520.

Animal 1/2 Fallow at 190 and 240 yards, 2 shots,...

Real easy to bump the mag release on your chest rig. Ya notice the mag falling out but ya still look like a d***head

Good bit of kit, all the issues to date have been ironed out. Only wish I could take out the ambi mag release

Congrats mate and awesome choice of caliber too

Erblestock H2 gunrunner. Far too small for what I needed. Once I shot a deer it got ugly trying to pack it out. The scabbard also ended up collecting half the dam forest and when not in use the empty...

I’m almost certain I’d shoot better with the 6.5 than the 300. For me I hate recoil so I know my groups would open up on the 300 especially doing something like a gong shoot firing 30 odd rounds.

Hey mate some interesting options there. Ya mention professionally so I’m guessing you’ll be shooting for pet food.

If that’s the case I’d hands down go Marlin, I’d avoid the mossberg and...

Both using the heaviest Hornady super performance for each round at the published velocity

300WM 180SST at 3130 = 16.7in wind drift
6.5CM 129 SST at 2950 = 18.0in wind drift

A difference of...

Will be really interested in this thread as I’ve just started using the .308 195 TMK

Too much bloody time in lockdown decided to turn my 308 tikka into a long action DIY style (aka bubba as hell). Was too far gone before I realised my mistake. So 1 finishing nail latter...

I’ve only got 2. First is plains game in South Africa primarily aiming for a big Gemsbok. Was meant to do this trip in 2014 but the old man spoke his words of wisdom and ended up buying a house...

Well that could work out better as it would be easier to get past the other half being cheaper. How do you find the reticle being FFP for Hunting? Isn’t too hard to pick up the crosshairs at low...

Digging up this old thread as I’m hoping a few more people have em nowadays. For those that have em (hopefully someone) how do you find the reticle for Hunting? And what’s the clarity like on the...
