Not much difference in quality between them, warehouse ones not quite as good.
Okuma you can get new rod sections so shouldn't cost as much if you need a new tip.

For a perfect set-up I'd be running different rods for soft-bait and bait.
Soft-bait ideally a 7'6" to 8 foot rod with a 2-10g cast weight and a reasonably stiff tip so you can impart some...
Not sure if they are still operating but Mountain Precision was pretty good a couple of years ago. Paid from memory $50 for half an hour, paper targets at 100 then steel out to 800. Had a Labradar...
I've got a Sako 85 7mm-08 with a vx3i 3.5-10x40 CDS.
I bought it because the rifle became available at a very good price and I like nice rifles, not because it performs any better than the...
If you want to make the rifle more useful without altering the originalness then perhaps consider putting a new (or secondhand) barrel on and cut it as short as you want. Keep the original barrel in...
If you're not so worried about getting something a bit older you could look at something like a surf or terrano. Spend 10k on a tidy example of a late 90s or early 2000s model then you still have...
If the rangers actually feed properly then you'll have a useful mag for a limited amount of time.
Just buy the Ruger so you have a useful mag for a decent amount of time.
If you have them available I'd be tempted to try a different projectile, if possible something that's known as being easy to get to shoot well. That way you know if your rifle just doesn't like the...
1/2x28 would be the most popular of those two, but they are both readily available.
Because we import most of our rifles and manufacture most of the suppressors in NZ all the common suppressors...
Mode showing range then drop would work with the MOA dial on other rifle.
They are awesome rangefinders and the ballistic solutions are awesome.
Operation is pretty simple if you have some basic skills with tech, you need to pair your phone and rangefinder via Bluetooth...
I've used the sierra 3 scopes and wasn't all that impressed. The optical quality lacked and the reticle was too heavy, I also didn't like that there was no wind hold points below the reticle and so...
I to find the lasers pretty hopeless. In both the gun shops I've worked in we've used a collimator and had pretty good results.
At home I typically just look down the bore and line it up with...
Sako ammo is guaranteed to shoot 1 moa I believe in all Tikka and Sako rifles. If you can find the 50 round boxes of 150gr soft point the price is quite good to.
I've never used it but have...
I've got a VX3i 3.5-10x40, It's a pretty good scope but I do find the magnification to be lacking a bit on the 300m+ shots. It still works alright, infact the last deer I shot was with it at 416m but...
It means you won't be able to use the high bc 69gr plus options.
There's still plenty of good options for killing deer that will work in the slow twist. The 50gr (approx) monos, 60gr nosler...
I just have a suppressor when I'm hunting, I sometimes carry a set of earplugs to put in if I get the chance but am bad at forgetting to use them.
For targets (rifle and shotgun) and duck shooting...
Depends a bit on what your using it for. I'd prefer 2800fps and 1moa (providing it's consistent and not just one group) for big game hunting out to 300m than 2600fps and better accuracy. For target...
I know they are still running shoots. They've got one every weekend from now until I think the end of July. Don't know if you can still get on those shoots or if it's all booked up.
The most important thing to remember is if you move addresses you have to tell the police, it doesn't matter if you actually move your firearms.
The needed security becomes the issue, sounds like...
I've caught a few in soft-baits when targeting sea-run trout and kahawai. They'll usually just chew the tail of the soft-baits, and the occasional one will actually grab the whole bait and get...
Beretta had and I think still has a gunsmith in Auckland who does stock fitting, don't know if there is a charge but could be worth looking into.
I'll join in with everyone else in saying a 4.5-14 Leupold is not the answer. I've got one on my .223 and although I don't mind it for open country the eyebox and field of view are both lacking for...
The new Bergara Crest would be a good option if you want something similar to the HMR but lighter, it's a medium weight barrel with a carbon fiber stock in the same shape as the HMR.
If you want...
I've got a load with the 150gr ELD-X and 48gr of 6.5 Staball.
Book max for 150gr Sierra (Projectile in Data) is 48.5 and the 154gr Hornady (what Hornady group Eldx with in their data) max is...
