Thread: South Island gun

Fuck, we sound like yanks all of a sudden 30-06, 300Win mag. Jesus.
Maybe there needs to be a few more dorklanders migrate south cause they all swear by the mighty 708.
That 30-06 will do everything. Just load another round type if shooting 1000-1450yards.
284 loaded with 140AB & 162. Definitely not a further rig than a 30-06 however shooting a higher bc projectile, but it will be a new rifle, so we will all be happy.

A 30-06 is more than enough. The whole NI vs SI thing is a load of shit anyway. 99% of my animals would be shot at under 100m.

I would have to agree, I didn't realise your "Northern" gun was a 30-06. If you want another gun and call it a long ranger my suggestion still stands but the 30 will work well anyhow.

Hey Full noise,your .30/06 looks like a very nice outfit. Should be great for just about anything.
Maybe spend ya money on rangefinder,binos,4WD tyres chains & snorkel,decent boots...
If you decide to start sniping tahr at 900 yards then build a .338 LM or whatever,for that purpose.

Hey full noise....where u at mate?? Wat u looking @ hunting(poaching) down here? 30-06 will be fine for anything down here in the south just practice at some long range shots then feel free to buy a nice pair of binos and let me look after them for u....also if u must spend ya money u could buy a 4wd quad....I'll make sure it gets a run once a week...lol

Got all the other gear jacked up ranger with 33s snorkel etc
More of the 3006 is set up for that 3-9
Wanting another set with more powerful scope but unsure of calibre to run
So maybe 7rm with a 4-16 or 5-25 hd5 is sounding like the choice to have

I must be really old for my age , because I remember a time when a 30/06 with a 3-9 scope was considered some serious long rang gear that me and my hunting mates only dreamed of one day owning and more importantly , actually needed .

Youve been stringing us along havent you ?

Assuming you want to shoot smallar stuff bit further away then you need a rangefinder and a dial up scope.no point trading down so a dialling zeiss or swaro z5 3.5 to 18 or a mid size nightforce would be best use of your money. Also spend it on ammo , trahectory test and practice. You already have a good rifle for the job.

Next you will tell us you really want to shoot moose whitetails or wallabies and we ll all be scrambling to tell you something different.

Laughs on us
