    Like father, like son; 400 yard .284

    I’ll post a report and some photos of this weekends trip to a block in Kaikoura that I’ve shared information with a few of you in the past.

    In the meantime here’s a hind that came home with us. 😎

    Cracker shot, that's one caliber I haven't had but think it would be pretty good.

    It was fashionable when I had it built, it’s popularity promoted by its success in F-Class shooting competitions at the time. Like anything fashionable it seems to be surpassed by other calibers lately.

    None the less it’s my favourite rifle, it just happens to be a .284.

    Yeh I think with a shortened barrel, suppressor with a 150- 160 class bullet at 2750-2800 they would have plenty of knockdown. Ideal for bush hunting and for when the longer shot presents itself on a slip or up a long river bed.

    You know it! You should fully convert to .284 WIN :-)

    I eventually found my 7mm Rem Mag to be too long to carry comfortably.

    The shockwave is one of the more dramatic that you’ll see...

    how far did she make it down the hill?
