    I'm in

    I've managed to acquire a few big bores over the last year. Be great to see what they can do and catch up with some forum guys I haven't met

    I'll put my hand up for this, might as well justify buying a 'silly' calibre.

    @ebf - Eb, my finger won't fit in the barrels of my pea shooters.
    Dependent on funds, may just roll up on the day for a m/cycle ride and meet a few forum members as well.
    PM the address and I'll use Google to guide me.
    Be nice to put faces to avatars and nicknames - not that I'll remember them 5 minutes later .
    @Martin358 - here's a good place to have some fun buddy.

    I’m in! Cash payment on day? Scored myself a very nice 416 Rigby. Thanks @Friwi for the heads up when I swung by last week. I’ll be coming down from Auckland so could do a carpool or something? Would likely drive down Friday and back on Sunday.

    Hey boys, quick update from my side.

    Heading up to the farm this weekend to have a look at the range layout and sort out arrangements with D.

    Should be in a position to start opening up entries etc in the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye on this thread.

    Unfortunately I am between large bores at the moment

    Could bring the 30-30 as it generally sits in the dark corner of the safe and seldom comes out.

    I would be happy though just to watch and help on the range, maybe help with drinking the beer after and perv over some large bores that should rightfully be in the tropics somewhere?
    @Savage1, @Tommy, @Gibo you be keen for a road trip down? Maybe tie in a hunt?

    Maybe we should have a go with a 12 gauge with slugs? Pretty similar to an old BP double

    You need to talk to @oraki about the .700 load. He was shooting pretty well with his. Made the shots pretty easy to spot on the target.

    When it hits, things stay hit. I did feel sorry for stug though, all his art work.....
