I fitted a t3 limb saver to my Sako 85 in 7mm08. The limb saver fitted straight into the stock with no problems and looks good. Only noticed a slight improvement in recoil though. Perhaps it's the...

Did you not have to pay NZ tax and duties?

I've moved away from the dry bum pants and sold all my ones as they were too hot. Ive gone back to lightweight nylon shorts from Macpac. They are great matched with marino boxers. I dont like hot...

Back from a weeks hunting the Gold Creek Block in November - blocks had a bit of pressure with hunters and dog in for the week before and another group in as we went out (Helisika must do ok on all...

Hunt there most years and are back in again mid November this year for a week.
I'm also a fisherman so this is a good block and hut for that reason. You can also hunt across the river on the DoC...

Bugger, some great footage though and plenty of deer. A rushed shot on an animal moving away is always risky.... Many of us have been there and missed that sort of shot as well. As I have got more...

Just take the bolt out and look straight down the barrel at the target and then check your scope, it's surprisingly easy to see and do. Your just trying to get onto the paper at close range (say 25m)...

I spent $100 or so on a tapered red dot laser one that you insert into the end of the barrel. It has different plastic fittings for various bore sizes. It was a bit fidly and worked ok but I wouldn't...

I love the .243 but have recently gone to 7mm08 in a sako 85. I notice the difference in recoil. Anywhere from 6mm to 308 will serve you well.

I've been using a Garmin eTrex20 for the past few years and it's been great. Locks on to the Russian satellites as well as the normal US ones as well and gets a quick fix. Works amazing well under...

Winter hunting in Kaimanawas...brrrrrrr. Need to be careful with gear selection and the weather especially if one of those southerly blasts comes through. I've hunted the Kaipo saddle in winter snow,...

Years ago I remember hunting goats with a friend using a Parker hale .2506 and it wouldn't put the aminals down. I remember thinking at the time that either the bil lets were going straight through...

My plain stainless one from dfmaisey cost $26 delivered by courier. He will help you with sizing. I got a micrometer and measured the barrel diameter just behind the thread and the overall length of...

Just got a stainless thread protector end cap from dfmaisey. Nice tidy plain stainless end cap - looks a berlody treat, personally I like it better than the ones with knurled ends. If you need a nice...

Recently got barrel threaded and a new MAE supressor fitted. My question Is how important is a thread protector cap when not using the supressor such as in more dense bush hunting or shooting at...

I've hunted in the Kaimanawas in the winter - berloody cold camping out in the snow but all the animals were exactly where Zamkiwi said, on the sunny faces in the creek heads where the sun can get...

Just picked up a new MAE suppressor for my Sako 85 finnlite in 7mm08. Need to get back out to the range to test it out.
Hoping for a good reduction in recoil and noise. The guys at MAE...
