The short answer is no.
I don't see the need for any covers or caps when I'm carrying bino's in a pouch.
You can dummy cord kit to the rig if you are worried about losing it.

This is a subject I've been playing around with for a while.
I'm not a fan of the bino harness I prefer the smaller chest rigs. I would rather carry gear to the side than have too much stuff at the...

I always thought that a LRF could be useful when doing a resection. However the range is too short on most LRF.
This one seems to have solved that problem.

I think the short answer is wear what you want so long as its not noisy and avoid UV brighteners. I have a wind shirt in tigerstripe that I wear sometimes not because it makes a difference. I just...

Supposedly that's due to the flex in the stock. With our laws on OAL it would be better with an AR style collapsing stock. I'm sure Lefty's would appreciate that style more as well.
Its definitely...

It's tough to beat the .223 for versatility especially on smaller game.

These are great bits of gear. I got one in the mid 90's when I was in the Army and still have it. Its been used on dozens of repairs over the years, I even modified a set of webbing with belt loops,...

Hit me up if you want a crack with the Utas. It's been growing on me, might be a bit Army barmy for some though.

I've got an HMR they are great rifles, but whoever came up with the "H" is either an optimist or a masochist :D

To the OP I say go for it. 30.06 is a great round and heavy rifles are character...

I use them on my scout rifle so I can access the iron sights if I need to.
They are also a good option if you have two scopes for one rifle, kind of the opposite of what you are doing.
I have never...

I met Fitzy on a long range shooting course. I was impressed by his commitment to bringing quality outdoor gear to NZ. His background is military and he's also a hunter so he knows what works and...

Thanks for posting that. I love hearing about the history of the deer cullers.

Part two of a TVNZ doco on the subject (no idea where part one is).

Deer hunting I'll take a mags worth.
But goat shooting I take a minimum of 40. The first time I went out I rattled through 20 rds on three mobs in 15 minutes.
Its no big deal to bring ammo home ;)

This is a pretty cool video for a Sunday afternoon.

I love the history of these old rifles. Its interesting to see that 100 years later they haven't come up with anything significantly better.
I...

On a long enough timeline, mother nature always wins ;)

I have a jetboil I have been using for about 10 years. I like it but it is optimized for boiling water.
It comes with a little fold out pot stand, jetboil accessories are pretty expensive so I just...

If you don't get a bite here, it might be worth putting up on one of the FB airsoft pages.

Thats great advice. If you cant join a club try and do a course with Sparrowhawk or somewhere similar. The more experience you have the better decisions you will make when it comes time to buy. Its...

I am big fan of .308 and at risk of starting a caliber debate it might be worth considering 6.5 Creedmoor.

I have shot .308 out to 1000 yds and while it can be done if you are shooting distance...

So if I am understanding things correctly, .50 BMG is best used from a belt fed. You know for health and safety :thumbsup:

Years ago I spent four days on Sailsbury Plain shooting the HMG and GMG....

It's the nicest scope I have so I would say its above average. I shot it out to about 500m at dusk and didn't notice any issues.

I have the Vortex and I'm pretty happy with it. I was looking for a lightish scope with MRAD and mid range magnification. It works well on my MPR. The farthest I have shot it is 880m it did OK but...

I replaced the Ruger ranch with the UTAS. If you don't need AR ergos, get the Ruger.
They are both great goat guns but you might want to mod the charging handle on the UTAS.

I always take manufacturers accuracy guarantees with a pinch of salt as I figure they are shot from a rest. I just want to know the rifle is more accurate than I am.

This is a pretty interesting...

I have been using a harris knock off for zeroing and long range. It works well enough. If I was going to hunt with a bipod I would use the QD type. I just cant think of a time a bipod would be useful...
