    This will be a trip down memory lane. The first rifle I had was a .243. Shot a few deer with it. Then went to a sako .270. Then a sako 300 wsm. Then a hs precision 7mm ultra mag. Then a 7mm08 and a 7mm mag both sakos. In the last few years I’ve mucked around with .222’s , 243’s and 7mm mag. I’ve gone the full 180 over the last 20 years. At one point I liked to get further away from deer to shoot them. These days it’s all about the full outdoor experience and getting up close and personal.
    For me this is the ultimate all round Nz hunting rifle. It’s cost me a shitload to arrive here
