On a mission to find some good all round hunting pants, not too warm and easy to move in.

what do you guys run? is there good NZ brand ones or are the US ones the way to go?

Cheers

Agreed with the above. I'm loving mine

I got a 75L but can handle like a 35 when its packed down. has made a significant difference in lightening my overall pack weight.

He is also saying that new cartridge designs are SAMI spec'd for faster twists and the correct throat depth to make the most of modern bullets and powders. these are off the...

I think there is a future in 25 for LR competition and hunting again with these new projectiles on the market (there will surely be more projo options available soon enough)

For hunting a 130 ish...

It very doable mate.
the fundamentals are running a pic rail, using high quality rings, using a torque wrench and mounting the scope with forward pressure in the same pic slots each time.

Some carbon stocks aren't that lite, you might be able to save a few hundred grams in changing to an NZ made one?

Otherwise optics is the obvious one. nightforce isn't lightweight.

for a cheap option I have been running a set of these for a couple years and have had no...

Agreed at around 60gr is the top end. mine are seated long though it will be over pressure at short action mag length

damn there are some light rigs on this thread..

this is 3.7kg as shown. its a 284 and about as lite as I want it to still be able to shoot respectable distance and spot hits on target

Have come across a tidy Winchester mod 70 all weather which I don't tend to see often anymore

who has one and what do you think of them? looks really handy

Over all length is the critical thing with that bullet to avoiding pressure in a 223. You’ll get over pressure fast if you have to run close to SAMI length for mag feeding

That being said I run...

It’s based off the mk5 erector system which has been extremely reliable on multiple scopes for me. I’d be surprised is there are any issues

agreed, they have been a little behind the times.

from what I hear the quality of these is the same as the Mk5 which are very nice (I have had a couple) I have an older FFP mil/mil Mk4 and it is...

These could be high performing at a respectable price here (going by US retail prices some will be less than a VX5)

MK5's are amazing but expensive.. I can imagine the 2.5-10 going well for...

for hunting for me its;

22
223
284 win x 2 (one set up for bush and one for open tops)

I think that a talented shooter and...

at least with a 223 factory ammo is reasonable and it would be quite usable with forming loads. 223 is cheap to run and I reckon Youd loose that with 204

I'll be in touch Jaco if i do want to...

Wondering if anyone has played with the 223AI?

Particularly interested in fast twist 80gr plus type setup

Seems to me it would be an ideal economical long range plinker/all rounder

I feel they are top of their class in terms of value for money.

the titan is a big step up in glass quality from a Helix. I haven't handled a HDLR helix though.

I have a 5-25 titan and rate the...

i would sell it and get a fast twist t3 in 223, cheap to run and handy if you dont feel like using the 22-250. you have all the other bases covered though

I ran some through A 6mm GT at the weekend in training ammo. shot well, ES was as expected and no unexpected primer flow/pressure. Id say you're good to go with these

you want to crush you primer slightly for consistent ignition

its only 0.15mm in reality, I wouldn't worry. just seat until just flush or below

An arca shouldn't be too finger biting/catchy. some of the nicer ones have a smoother edge that isnt too bad to hold. I have a henderson one that i dont use but has a smooth finish.

It only needs...

For a capable LR scope that doesn't break the bank I'd go for a element Titan 5-25

I run a lot of High High end optics but I wouldn't hesitate to run one of the above.

Id recommend FFP but you...

My geovids are no longer under warranty and got broken over the weekend...

anyone have experience with Leica repairs? is it expensive?

the binos are old so am wondering if its worth it.
