    Akaroa, they probably used one of those bore sighters - back when i was still guiding in africa, every time ive seen a yank with a new rifle they swear by it, get them at the start of the trip. Lets check zero, no i dont need to, its sighted in ( this is after flying and 300km plus of shit dirt roads, at this point you know the trip is gonna go to shit- YES YOU DO, 2 shots later , see why we do it. I stood in a gunshop while a salesman told a bloke his new gun been zeroed using a bore sight - he wil be right for a roo shoot that night, not been back to said shop ;p

    lol 6.5 mm haters, show me toothy clawy things - i might change caliber - luckily its nz u poor bastards dont even have snakes
    its the shot not the caliber or the gun,
    Ive shot water buffalo and killed more donkeys and camels than cholera with mine, though it is a 6.5x47 -been using it since 2003 - officially only launched in 2005, before the Cr and 260s came out.
    btw more game has been killed in europe with 6.5 than any other caliber
    only got a 6.5 Cr for this trip as ammo for the x47 u roll yourself, very lil in the shops

    back on topic
    Tx for info guys seems hardy doesn't get any mention
