Busy time for Malcolm

Definitely works - no question
Tried this about 12 months back and thats how I treat all my backsteak now
Once vacuum packed, it can stay in the fridge up to 3 weeks, and then freeze if necessary

6.5 06
143 GR at 2850 fps

Makes sense Gimp
Probably 1 - 2 m/s so 25- 50 cm roughly would be about right

Shot a hind on Sunday night at 540 yds across a gully with a 143 ELD-X. Elevation was spot on but ended up hitting her bit to far back of the shoulder. Light southerly blowing down the gully but not...

You're absolutely right
Heres a few things I've learnt the hard way in recent years-:

Don't try and beat your grandson to the top of the ridge - its just not possible
Slowly walking uphill is...

Thanks for that. Should have said that I'm looking at a thermal monocular rather than a scope. Can see that without a dog, they'd be handy for, apart from the obvious, locating animals that run in...

Never thought Id say this but thinking about making the leap
Anyone got the good, the bad, the ugly on either brand.
I've done a bit of research and there doesn't seem to be much in it. Pard use...

The PRC range is a great marketing ploy from Hornady
Having said that, mate if thats what you wanted then you'll be wrapped with it. Anything in 30 cal with a bit of oomph behind it will shoot long...

Would depend on condition and age
Way back in the day, Bushnell made the "Banner" and the "Scope Chief". Both were very good scopes, but then again so were Nikko Stirling and Tasco. Not so much now

Like as said above
Are the rounds factory loads or reloads. I've seen poor reloading produce results like that. If they're not your reloads then use some factory ammo for a start
If its not the...

Got to be an animal in there somewhere

Heres a 6.5 06 that shoots 143 gr ELD-X's very tight- Just a 25.06 necked out to 6.5
No factory ammo available so need to reload for it

Buy privately if you can
There are literally hundreds of rifles on the site for sale that, for the most part, are in pretty good condition. Add to that, you'll be buying off some good bastard...

I would think that a Vixen in "good" condition for its age would be worth $1800 - $2200
Worse nick then less
New cond, as in brand new, probably more. That seems to be about the range they sell in

Pretty sure you'll come up empty handed.
Carbon wrapped barrel and CF stock with a NF on top, so even with a lighter scope you won' feel any difference. These are the three major weight components...

Sounds like nothing has changed since I was last there in the late 90's. Could also see a fair few pigs from the road as well

Have a look at Ken Tustins latest interview
No question he's a believer, but how he explains the moose story has some practical arguments; eg the impact that red deer have on the mooses habitat
He...

19.5 G 2207 with 50 Gr Hornady SP's work real good in mine. Doing around 3050 fps
As has been said, the 1:14 twist wont handle any of the longer projectiles , eg Barnes. I even had the 55 gr Barnes...

Thats bullshit - just one guys opinion
Just go buy a Tikka in 6.5 x 55 or .308 and you'll shoot anything you come across here in NZ. End of story

Yip, Colorado Spoon or silver zeddy with a bit of red. A silver ticer for out in the surf
The old man used to make his own lures (feathered) with a fairly substantial hook

Heres a few from when I was a kid - probably 70's vintage. Top left is my 32 lb'er, all from Rakaia where we had a bach
6 Fish was a limit bag on any day, then it was reduced to 4 in about...

Can land you wherever you want. They use their Squirrel so you'd want 4 of you to make it worthwhile

Amuri would be closer in Hanmer - depending on where exactly you want to go
