It ok Ryan, someone will post a link to the Tardme auction shortly

Bloody stoked I got to meet you all. Brads and Mel, take a bow, you're gold-plated good sorts of the highest order. A South Island version meet would be fair, it's a long way for all you alleged main islanders to go every year, and in keeping with the Toby Tour. Wherever it is, I'm keen as aye

Good to meet you @Tommy although I was slightly disappointed that you are not in fact a tall black man in a yellow suit. Cheers for the burn on your rattle gun, very cool!

Yeah @ebf the Kaituna range, other than a station up the Awatere etc that would be easy for us N,I's to find ( and us ex S.I's )

Yeah, with a manual box. Handles well for an AWD van.

Far enough to hit a 3" little red ball

that one is a bit short (900 yds max) for the toys some of the guys bring to these events.

at least 2km targets, varied terrain with gullies etc would be good

I wouldn't have believed such a range would be necessary until this weekend gone, quite an eye opener. Still stunned that you got to 1800m with a 7/08!

it was 1815 yards / 1665 m

been a work in progress since last year's shoot. got pretty close to 1275 yards about a month ago, and we had absolutely perfect conditions on saturday.

Who took out the trophys lads?

I could actually see the elevation on the barrel compared to where the target was haha

Alonzo took out the 2k challenge with a Sako TRG .338 Lapua Magnum with his elevation maxed out and holding 9 mil of elevation in the reticle which had to be backed off to 15x to see enough reticle for holdover.

Most consistent was taken out by a guy with a 375 DCM, unsure of his forum handle.
