@Nathan F will need one of these packs.


Hunting mate coming off the tops in shit weather with a mate to the one I shot with the .222 when they were fighting (in the first lot of pics).


In the Pouranaki with a .222 and stag neck shot at about 50 odd yards. We had come over from the Rangi side so it was a big carry back up and down to the car. By then I was using hand loaded 52 grn Sierra hollow point match (forerunners to Barnes )and BLC2 powder. A powder measuring spoon and nut cracker hand press.


That will do. I got a bit carried away there. Someone might enjoy the history.

best thing I've seen on the forum in a while Tahr

Couple of old ones I found
Our old Forest Service Caravan it sure was luxury compared to the tent camps I started working from.

First deer I shot with a 222 it was one of three he waited to long and I shot in the shoulder and thought i might lose it but it went about 30 yds then went down.

Deer taken with my old Vixen 222
