    And in English what does that translate to?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Tell the lazy old (but younger than me) bugger that we will go down through Murupara to Minginui. There are no hills down there. Mountains and sheer cliffs but no hills. If I can still do it then he certainly can. There will not be any racing done.

    Can you elaborate on that a bit LR308? I'm saving for a brand spanking 6.5, but undecided on make & model as yet. Wondering about latest Sauer or Mauser. When you say "Stoke the shit out of it", what do you mean. Want to share your favourite loads?

    Its not what you hit them with, its where you hit them, I remember my first deer, shot it with a 270, shot was slightly rear of the front shoulder and to my dismay it bolted.
    Searched for two hours before finally locating it. The red had run about 100m and fallen under an old log. I was convinced the good old 270 would stop them in their tracks instantly but not so all the time. Had a few different calibers and ended up with a 243. Haven't had one run away even with this small caliber but I make sure I get the shot dead right or I don't bother taking it. I agree with others though, 308 is a good all rounder and have also mates that rave about the 6.5 x 55

    A guy asked me on Sunday what gun he should get when he upgrades his 233 for his son, he was thinking .243. As luck would have it I brought my 6.5 with me, he only took one shot and seemed rather happy about it. Can almost grantee his son will likely have a 6.5x55 in the future

    My first rifle was a 300win mag, have used a 7.62x54r, 30cal m1, 7.62x39 and have to say the .303 is my favorite, nice calibre with good knock down power but nice recoil and not too big.
