Hi guys. I’m looking at importing a rifle if and when my FAL arrives one day. Possible to do it yourself or agent? If so what agent?

Would really appreciate you guidance around hunting boots, what to consider and what models or brands to potentially consider.

Other challenge I’m somewhat faced with is I’m a size 14 boot and...

Seems like 25/08 IMP and myself share the size issue, so worth continuing on this thread. Something you guys would recommend that is also a little more water resistant and can also support a little...

If you subscribe to the theory of accuracy nodes normally linked to velocities, you will find that in normal barrel length you normally can’t reach the next node in a 308 with the 150gr, in which...

The intended purpose for this rifle will be to hunt stags with, but also be able to double as a bush rifle. So in my mind looking for something with enough punch, but still enjoyable to shoot. Yes,...

Considering factory options to turn into a 20” hunting rifle that you can stretch easily to 300m with up to 140-150gr bullet but also trying to find a balance between recoil. So been playing with the...

Thanks guys.

Any NZ agents for Kahles and or a shop with a good selection of Kahles scopes that you guys can recommend?

You have to start from scratch, but you are only allowed x6 rifles in your safe to cover all possible hunting in NZ as well as a little target shooting. Which x6 calibers and rifle setup will you...

My first option would be a 6.5x47 Lapua, then 260 and lastly 6.5 CM. Based on optimal barrel time with a 140gr bullet, you really have to push the 260 to reach the next node and theoretically they...

Will most likely be a howa mini action yes, but think Ruger also manufactures a short LOP rifle. The most likely solution would be a chassis, just which one.

I'm considering a setup to upgrade my 6 year from his daisy to something a little bigger that he can also potentially use on goats once he has proven himself. Not much worried about what caliber and...

Pommy, the job that I’m trying to fund my passion with includes a lot of modelling, specifically flood (hydrology and hydraulics) modelling. In my experience like any other modelling Quickload should...

I know some guys are of the opinion that longer barrels are sometimes challenging. Are you able to calibrate Gordons reloading app? The approach has only failed me in the past as a result of some...

Anyone else here also use Optimal Barrel Time and Quickload with load development? I’ve attached a link for the guys potentially interested in it.Optimal Barrel Time Concept . Although referred to as...

With the help of OBT. Barnes was the second load I tested and Nosler the 3rd load I tested. Large calibers don’t always need to be accurate, but they can be.

Replacing a barrel, is it worth considering some locally manufactured barrels considering cost, accuracy, fouling and barrel life? For a target rifle, target/hunting rifle or for a hunting rifle.

Although I will most likely reload, lets go for both reloading as well as factory ammo.

I've had great success with Barnes and Nosler Accubonds with body shots, mostly out of 375 H&H and 308 back in Africa. For me success was measured by the "killing"power as well as minimising the...

Thanks Tahr. Optimum Barrel Time = OBT. Theory suggest that each barrel length has accuracy nodes associated with time (milliseconds) that a bullets travels through the barrel as a result of the of...

Thanks guys. Quickload suggest that one will be able to push both the 75gr and 80gr around 2900fps, both on the same OBT node of 1,014ms for a 24" barrel, but with relatively high pressure close to...

Most shops have at least one 1:8 twist 223 (mostly Tikka) for sale so would assume there are a few doing the rounds? Any one care to share their experience with them and what velocities can be...

I also had my eyes on that 22-250 but still waiting for my FAL. Use to shoot a 1:8 twist 22-250 AI. The lightest bullets I tried was 75gr range. I would recommend looking at 75gr bullets plus given...

Micky Duck, I owned a 1:8 twist 22-250 AI and shot 80gr ELDM out of it without any trouble. My challenge with the lighter and shorter bullets that you can stabilize with a 1:14 in a 224 is wind...

The 1:8 twist T3 in 22/250 would be my first option. Perhaps worthwhile getting in touch with Beretta NZ or anyone aware of one floating around in NZ? Agree with the upgrade options. I owned a...
