Thread: .222 turning back the clock

.222 Brno circa 1968 meat hunting. 50 grn Sako and Hirtenberg (sp?) ammo. 4 x Tasco 'scope (Jap, they were ok). Deadly rifle and caliber. Wish I had taken more pics.

Mangahao Tararuas. 30 yards


Ruahines coming off the tops. 150 odd yard shot during the roar. He was one of 2 fighting. Mate got the other.


Tararuas. easy shot at 100 yards and missed with the first shot


The last deer I shot and sold with that .222 - neck shot at what I thought at the time was was 275 yards. Probably closer. Up above the Waipakahi. Kaimanawas.
