Building has always been cyclic though. We have been in a frenzied patch for a good number of years.Quote:

I picked up small primer brass for less than what the retailers want.
I reckon people are shooting far less now. For myself there is less pissing about with different loads, get a good one doing 1/2-3/4 inch then load up 20 and off you go hunting. 20 deer on public land will still take a few weekends to achieve. Maybe a good weekend you get 5 or 6?
I know I don’t shoot anywhere near as much as I used to.
They'll all bugger off to Aussie for $75/hr and free accommodationQuote:

I know what I would drop my cash on that's for sure!

I think the Leupolds are overpriced too, but really I cant argue that NF are very very good, esp turrets. (Not that I can let a chance for a little dig at an unashamedly one eyed NF man go past:P).Quote:

Hey its easy to throw shit when you are one eyed about the best!Quote:

The one thing I never recommend I buying are scopes that end up having nobody in nz for warranty issues or just go out of production a business.
Weaver and nikon come to mind!
I actually do recommend Leopold vx5's to people that can't stretch the wallet to my preferred glass !

The last shipment of large rifle primers didn't last long on the shelves. Anyone in the know for when the next lot may arrive?
allegedly BRS shipment due later this year large enough to satisfy and exceed demands in NZ (I'll believe that when I see it), nothing concrete hopefully someone in the know will have more info ?Quote:

Makes my Howa look wicked too.
What else wold expect from an S&B scope? I have a S&B PM 10X42 once abused by the NZ Plod, It is as clear as most current quality scopes and tracks like a new oneQuote:

I think I have gotten to a point of deminishing return with scopes . My eyesight is far from what it used to be and I cant tell the difference between a Swaro and a Meopta. I was surprised by Meopta and Kahles though, the PMI is heavy but its a small price to pay for how cool I feel.Quote:
