I see its got wifi whatever it is as well
Sasquatch, I didn't know NZ had populations of feral elephant! I'm picking that is not your traditional bunny-rifle.
Come on guys it's only a 45-70 isn't it ?
Perfectly sensible caliber for NZ bush hunting
Just think of it as America's version of the 308 only twice the age
Or is it a 450 bushmaster.
Mrs said the same thing haha.Quote:

Awesome rifleQuote:

So I started a 45-70 double rifle instead
At the shop would be my guess :thumbsup:Quote:

@gonetropo It recoils hard compared to the standard Winchester white box, but the Hornady Lever groups better in this rifle.
Thanks @akaroa1 :D
@Mr Browning, haha that's what I was going for! :XD:
A well ventilated chest cavity with a .45 entry and considerably larger exit hole is the objective here.
The skin doesn't slide over the hole and the diaphragm can't pressurize the chest cavity.
Blood trail looks like a garden hole
And even better you can eat right up to the hole
best you dont shoot it in the bum then :PQuote:

But his is black, therefore more dangerous....
I want to see a picture of the first killQuote:

Nice @PommyMcPomFace, didn't realize you could get them in camo - Looks cool.
@akaroa1 will post cannons first kill most definitely.
Pommy is screwed. He'll put the yeet cannon down to take a leak, see the lion and won't be able to find his camo gun in the grass.Quote:

@Sasquatch picked up my wifi cannon in 308 and brought the barrel separately after seeing one (maybe yours?) in the shop.
Trigger kit from bellm sorts the atrocious factory trigger right out.
If reloading with 2205, be wary of lot to lot variation. I worked up a load with a 300gr at ~2150fps. Switched to a new tub of 2205 and the same amount produced ~2300fps which starts getting a bit violent. It's not so bad with irons but with a scope you gotta pay attention.
Factory Remington Defense M24, not a clone.
Chambered in 7.62 NATO, correct as issued Harris Bi-pod, Mark 4 steel med 30mm rings, and Mark 4 3.5-10x40 TMR Illuminated scope with M3 turrets.
(Original SWS issue scope was a fixed 10x Mark 4 with M3 turrets and mil-dot reticle, but this scope was seen on the odd one later in life as they used them on the M110 etc...)
Black is good!

Just in case you wanted to shoot an NRA long range match whilst deployed... I dont think would have ever been used.

Thought I'd better add a nice 22lr to the collection as I use it the most. Pretty happy , bl22 with an old vx1 Attachment 127196
You wont be disappointed (after you have lightened up the trigger). Ive had one for 30 years as an every day shooter when I was doing rabbit control in central otago and have put 1000's of rounds through it, shoots as straight as an arrow.Quote:

Nice purchase.
Well some pics of a rifle I have had for a while but only just got out of the safe and mounted a scope last year. Volquartson .22LR. Nice workmanship and shoots very well. I have one in .22 WMR with a hogue stock but this hasn't had a scope mounted yet. Also got a two stage Kidd trigger set to try. Will change this out and try it sometime soon.

Nick, very nice rifle & calibre which will serve you well!
Exactly what do you have on your scope elevation turret?
One of the Leupold factory s1 screw on dial turrets. Seems to work sweet, although maybe a bit overkill on the old 6 power vx3 hahaQuote:

New 7x57R barrel set for my fair double rifle, plus rail, rings and pad.
If it wasn't -29deg, here in Alberta, I would go and sight in the scope.
Nick. That sure is nice and light. That’d be a very handy rifle. I like it!Quote:
