Thread: The 7mm Saums First Red and Sika (video)

A few months ago I had Abe build me a new 7mm Saum which was to be my lightweight go everywhere rifle so I had him suppress it and topped it off with a march 2.5-25x42 tactical, needless to say I was stoked with my new rifle but as these things happen I got it back a week before I was to have keyhole surgery to my right knee so only got a chance to shoot some of Neckshots gongs with it before the surgery.

Anyway a month after my surgery I figured that myself and the new rifle needed a test so my mate Nick and I headed off to the Ureweras in particular Mt Manuoha for the weekend which is the tallest point in the Ureweras, after a solid four hour slog straight up to Mt Manuoha we where at the hut and in much need of a cup of tea before the afternoon hunt, feeling replenished we headed off to hunt some nearby slips. Anyway I managed my first deer with the new rifle a Red hind ranged at 220m for a difficult offhand down hill shot which my mate Nick got on film and my mate nick also shot a good stag later on that evening which I didn't manage to get on film.

After recovering from this outing I managed to get some more time off work and Nick and I decided to head into clements rd where we fly camped for a few days where he managed a nice barren hind and I shot a young Sika spiker for some meat.

All in all some great hunting and am very happy with the new rifle Cheers Abe
