My kids use a tikka, stocks are relatively short to begin with. Bergara or Rossi are nice short rifles, just heavier than a tikka if that is a consideration. Don't get hung up on single shot. It's...

Yeah pretty good. Front screw went through forward of the x forend of stock. Used the grippy nut supplied and then packed around with epoxy. Sling swivel I drilled out with 12mm spade bit, epoxied in...

Thanks Preacher. I thought that may be the case. Will need to do everything from the underside rather than using the nut supplied.

Probably will go to local gunsmith to get it fitted. Not as straightforward as I had hoped. Any ideas? Sling swivel is fine it's the second bolt that has me beat. Just not sure who to do it without...

65rounds of 73g Eldm 223, 2206H and Federal 210 primers. Hope fully in the next couple of weeks I will load the remaining 70 223 ends and 50rnds of 308
165g TGK with 2206H and federal large primers.

If your usual spots produce deer I would stick to those. My two boys are 12 and 14, both quite capable of walking 5-6hrs with rests and snacks. Kids are more capable then you realise.
Just start...

For reasons I won't get into, I will pass on membership.

Bugger if only I was a member of NZDA

Someone doesn't get sole use of that area from my understanding. It is only the ability to land there in a helicopter. Anyone can still walk into and hunt those ballots.

My 18in bergara is pushing the 165g TGK at 2650fps. Happy with mine to 500m. Any gunsmith will cut a tikka to desired length.

Bush hunting go short. Only need to stop sticks etc going into boots. Even if hunting tops now I wear short. Legs don't get as hot. Long ones good for slowing Spaniard grass stabs and protecting...

Take a hind or two. They will be better eating than the spikers. Testosterone levels go up in them as well, can have an effect on the meat.

Like any teenager, the spikers are trying to get some action but usually told to bugger off by the bigger fella. Will usually hang around the outside. Can be found in their own groups as well.

Twist rate will be your enemy. Whilst nothing wrong with the standard 55-60g variety. People (me included) prefer the faster Twist rate to stabilize the heavy projectiles available. Someone will be...

I ended up getting a brno mag for mine. The factory one was terrible for not lifting the 22 round. Had my JW for 22yrs.

Nicely done.

If I do it again I would stay either 300wsm or 300wm. I'm a suckered for 30 cals. Below is what the 200g ELD x was doing out of my rifle.

I went down this path years ago. Started with a 308 went to 300wsm. Had a WSM for close to 20yrs. Shot deer from 20m to 750m. A great caliber to own, my favorite was 200g eld x. I have now gone back...

Great write up. Nice to get your first under the belt. Enjoy the delicious venison. Well done.

Paper wasps or German wasp that is all through our bush?
Pour petrol down hole. Do it in the evening when they arrive all back in hole.

I was using one 30cal on my 223 and 308. Ended up getting a 6.5cal suppressor and it made a big difference to noticeable noise levels. This is only based on my hearing and not a decibel meter. There...

Can't wipe that smile off your boys face. Well done.

Nicely done. Young fella will be stoked.

Nice haul. I imagine it will be well received by the soup kitchen. Lots of meals there. We'll done.

Been a while since I went for a hunt. Had a busy winter, kids played football all winter and I decided I should join them. Between coaching, assistant coaching and playing my first season since I was...
