My friend has a Tikka T3 308 and he regularly takes deer out to 700yds with his. He is a very good shot, spends lots of time working up accurate loads and practicing out to 1000yds.

Drive up to advanced archery in Auckland. They will set you up.
Well done, first of many.
Nice, sounds like a good trip.
We hired one from Rakiura charters, they took us to the block.
From memory there is a serial number on an R93 receiver, but you have to take the receiver out to see it. For my K95 I just used the number on my barrel.
Well done, a good start to the roar.
This is a great resource

Shawn Carlock, a US long range guru said he always dial for the wind, even if is a 0moa dial.
Gme, not cheap. I got a set for Christmas and they are really good.
Well done.
I used to hunt with a Tasco 1.75-5x20 scope. Was fantastic in the bush, got a few deer with that scope that you wouldn’t have got with a 4x. I reckon 2x at the lower end is what you want to be...
3 pin sight, 30, 40, 50yds. Shot one pig at 27(?) yds. Been within 40 of several deer but no shot yet.
Great looking dog. I used the blue print with my dog, she turned out pretty well.
Bridgede, I’ve got 2 pair that are about 14 years old and still going strong
Hold your nose closed, make a nasally meee as you are letting go of your nose
Wicked, well done!
JohnDuxbury I’ve shot 1 stag with the ppu 286gr rn it was about 100yds and hit him in the spine just forward of the chest. Dropped him on the spot as you’d expect. MV is only about 2250fps.
Well done, that has come up really nicely
I’ve been parking overnight at the local Oxford carparks, but not the wharfdale, for years and never had a problem.
The foot traffic will be busy on the track, but once you get off the track you won’t see anyone. Your not hunting the track, but you will see way more deer by getting to the tops and glassing.
Different states have different rules too, some like WA are pretty anal about firearms and related items etc.
Try some 130 or 125gr projectiles. I used 60.5gr 2209 and a magnum rifle primer wirh125ge Sierra and 130gr Speer in my 30/06. Great on goats and less recoil.
I use 56.5gr 2208 with the PRVI PARTISAN 286gr RN for about 2250 fps. This regulates with the open sights on my Mauser.
Got and see Mathew at arrowhead archery in Darfield he will sort it for you.
