This was my exact load for 20 years using 139gr Interlocs. It was in a BSA Medium action and loaded to approx 3in. It was the Nick Harvey recommended load back in the day. I am now using 56gr RE16...

Had the 3-12 on my 284 and it was excellent. Nice and clear, fast focus eyepiece, was reliable. It’s currently sitting on my 22 waiting for my son to buy a centrefire and will go to him.

Just some chocolate covered almonds to snack this time along with the standard one square meals I survive on…..

Hi - yes it’s a 3-10. It’s more getting a good rest for me to keep the crosshairs from waving around when target is further away. On decent walking trips I don’t normally take a bi-pod because of...

Went back for another trip late Jan - this time on the Western Side. Again it was new country and a work friend got access through a farm saving a few hours of leg work. The plan was predominantly...

He got me interested in the 284win about 30 years ago and I used his recommended loads for the next 20

I visited a few weeks ago and it’s stuffed not far past the airstrip/DOC boundary. You would need a serious bush truck and winch to get up the huge rutted drop off. There is a side track but huge...

The rod and rifle story with you at Toka Biv looked a good spot for another day

I took this photo when stuck in the leatherwood over my head, rifle sling catching on everything and feeling...

On the way before the low saddle I passed a family group heading the opposite direction, and near the hut I passed a fit looking couple also coming the other way who were on a big 6 day...

With the stress of Christmas 2023 over and the prospect of good weather after new year I could hear Tikka 284 growling from the gun cabinet again. She wanted a walk, loves the tussock, and I had...

I still have my original Swazi Thar anorak and just sent to back to get the seam sealing done again. A robust and warm jacket that has become my ute jacket. I have also met Davvy Hughes the owner...

Pretty sure standard are +30 offset

I have similar set up (2 inch lift and identical tyres) and steel rims at 0 offset and just fit in the guard to get WOF. No issues with control arms etc - just...

Reloader 16 is versatile if you can get it

Lewis Pass/Lake Sumner. Good deer numbers and great fishing.

Did another decent mission on the weekend into Molesworth country and it snowed hard and was freezing cold but Halo Jacket kept me dry………..now I need to sort my boots as feet were wet and cold…….

Walking the dog today at Waikato river mouth on the forest side and saw this pile of carp. Have they been dumped from another spot or living in the river

The sea gulls were happy at least

Confined deer in Hunua

Notice received today to stop access while sorting

20inch as an all rounder - just running one centrefire rifle now and happy this can do everything I need….although a 223 would be useful if I lived in Wallaby country.

For cheapskates like me digital scales are affordable but have issues. They can lose zero fairly easily and wander around (the reading that is….) in certain conditions. When I lost my test weight...

Back again playing with the 284. I had used up all my 140 BTs on Fallow and Wallabies and almost run out of the 162eldx loads also. I’d also moved hose so had to set up the reloading bench again. ...

Area had been 1080d about 6 months ago so they must have come back from nearby

My wife took the Halo out on a wet horse ride over the weekend and was so happy compared to her Macpac that I may need a replacement. The next one might be camo as that will stop her using it.
