$5K into the kids horses? So they've only just started then?

No horses yet, just a couple of saddles and bridles

I brought my rifle through Holts. There are a few tricks.
If you go into there archives you can see what the prices of previous sales are.
It gives you good idea on what to spend.
You should also jack up shipping and export because they do charge for storage which soon is adds up.
But you can soon find some rather good stuff.

Philip C.

the man has an opinion @Tentman and i want to hear it, thats why i come on a forum . . . are ya not alowed to say nasty things about Leupolds, Norincos etc etc because you might hurts someones feelings .. sad day if thats the case

Dry bag images as requested.


Close up of bag, butt and Niggeloh sling showing cartridge loops and small dome closer pouch thats good for a range chart.


Bags with rifle stowed. 3 full roll downs to close and loops on edges to put pack side compression straps through for extra safety.


And another helpful tip for K95 owners ( and other oil finished wood stocks ) is to use "Scherell's Premium Gold" stock oil before and after hunts.
Its the best stock oil I have found. Keep the rag in an air tight jar between use and you don't waste any wetting a new rag every time.
My stock is still in relatively good condition despite the abuse its had over the last 10 years.

Cheers

Bags look good. I'll have to get some sorted. Ordered a K95 standard in 7x65R today. Now just have to wait4-5 months. Might be here in time for christmas. Brass and dies also ordered.

So you went with the 65R not the 57R
Its a significantly bigger case and in the K95 action you can load to bolt action pressures.
Good choice !

7mm rem mag equivalent?

280, rimmed version of the 7x64 Brenneke, but loaded down a bit.

Very nice calibre, what a outstanding "plan". I'm guessing you're pretty familiar with 7x64 from the Big Bore Shoot . . . I really like my CZ 7x64, dammed near 7mm Rem mag velocities, easy to reload for and great to carry. According to Quickload 7x65 (69.8) has just smidge more capacity than 7x64 (69.0) but runs at 55,000 psi compared with 60,000 psi. 280 Rem is 67.8 and 284 Win 66.0.

Cheers

@Tentman got any predictions for loads with a 162 a-max with 2209 or 2213sc?

barrel length ?? And then I'll run it for you. Send me an email foster@pricefencing.co.nz so I can send the whole results page.

Cheers

Done

A cool calibre. Can you post up predictions @stug? I am considering 7x64 in a 26" as my alternative.
