Thread: What’s your rig?

Tikka 284, with dpt and vx5. Usually shoot over the pack but also use a bipod on occasion.

Seems to work, notice my mates 'now what?' Look after finding the deer on his first ever hunt.

Have a wee 300blk ar15 for the thick shit as well, that also seems to work

Bonus speargun because it shoots more stuff than all my other guns put together

Now I didn’t know that we were talking about spearguns 😂 what size it the wettie? I have a couple but my go to is a Rob Allen 110 roller which I’m currently converting to a double roller head mvd with an mvd inverted trigger. At the moment it can punch a hole through doggies I’m interested to see how it’s goimf to fire after. Your up spearing in North island Nick?

It's just a double rubber 110 man. Yeah in the Bay of Plenty, mostly reef or weedline work with main targets of Snapper, dory, pink mao Mao, kingfish etc.

The 110 is perfect for this.

Have started a bit of diving out in the big kingfish/pelagic waters around white island etc so am currently looking at a blue water gun. Tossing up between a pathos 110 roller or a 130/140 Rob Allen tuna.

How do you like the roller? Been thinking I might move the missus to one, she is pretty strong but vertically challenged so uses a 90. It's a bit limited on range on the bigger offshore reefs here. Thinking a 100 roller would work

Yeah I like the length I have a rock basher in 100 when I don’t want to damage my RA Spears �� pathos is a good roller a friend of my spearfishs around around the world and that’a his go to but I let him try the RA and he is currently trying to buy one. I think they work out cheaper than the Pathos and they are more customizable plus 110 roller would outshoot a 130 and have equal power as a double banded gun. Only things with rollers is how to load either a pretension shark fin or a load assist which can be a pain because you can load it and then swim off and forget it. But she should be able to get it to her liking RA come with a load assist but you can make a longer one for smaller arms. What’s the prices over in NZ was having a look and they look pretty expensive? Or I’m looking in the wrong places?

That view from the grass across the river in the 2nd photo is strangely familiar.

Yeah, good spot that. Some gc put me on to it.

Also very good of the deer to run across from the other side of the river and die on the track. I'm sure my mate thinks hunting is a doddle now haha
