Thread: Aorangi pack, rifle & bullet terminal performance test

chur!

Cheers for the report. Ive been using a hunters element 25 l for day hunts for a few years now, always been good. Have prefered to go even lighter laterly with the stoneycreek bushline, been great as well but as small as you want to go for a day hunt and if you travel light if you want cart all the meat out

I hope you realise what your pictures say - you shot a deer with NO suppressor and another animal hung round for ages even with the full noise of a shot - thats not supposed to happen you know, ask any suppressor guru. Please tell us you removed the suppressor for the photos!

Haha! I have a suppressor on my Baikal motorcycle rifle, but that's because it's got a short-as barrel and is ugggly, Suppressors are ugggggly. They have alot of merit but looking good isn't one of them. I reckon if you can shoot accurately without one, your rifle will stay classy. As for the confused hind, I think she was reasonably young and not too smart on the ways of the bang stick.

Me 2 Craig c sold it for some obscure reason as you do, with a modern 150gn they are up there as a big game rifle and have legs
