    Some / most of us have tried this and had limited results ?.....Obviously there is information out on the web.....scope camera attachments digiscoping etc. Any optical engineers out there care to comment how and if you can achieve better optical performance.....the crosshair and the distant object all in focus at the same time the picture is taken?

    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid both alcohol and drugs when handling firearms.

    Don't let the side down and do anything that can be used to portray hunters and shooters in a negative light.
    How on earth can taking a photo thru a scope portray hunters in a negative light.

    That looks pretty close Grant?

    I was about to push one of these spikers over when their bigger mate showed up and he ended up on the receiving end instead.

    Mob of goats at approx 400m. Didn't take the shot, not confident the ol .223 can do it and also didn't like the thought of retrieval...

    Actually I’m scratching my head over that post too. Maybe there is something we have both missed.

    Photos through a scope where there is a ridge line and you can't see what is beyond, people, cars, houses... Anything that you wouldn't be prepared to pull the trigger on, taking into account the rules I mentioned. The photos have been excellent and none could be used as an example of hunters being idiots. I stand by my post, and urge everyone again to put safety first all the time. Remember also the forum is public and everyone - Gun Free NZ included - can access these pics too.

    Yeah, an Israeli sniper took a pic of a kid's head through a riflescope and stuck it on Instagram. Didn't go down too well...

    Don't see hunting photo's being a problem though.
