    Hello everyone.

    New to the forum and am looking to making some new friends to share experiences with, listen to stories, receive and give tips etc. I have just bought a Remington 700.270 and sighted it in at the tect park in Rotorua. It groups within quarter of a minute. I have not fired it at a deer yet and am very keen to get a chance. Today I went for a walk up the Papamoa hills and saw some fresh sign but no deer. On holiday now in Te Puke and keen to chase a Fallow or Red. Anyone else keen let me know. I live in the central Hawkes Bay usually. Cheers all.

    Welcome to the forum and you can tell Toby to pull his not so wooly head in. I too have a Remington 700 in .270.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    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 alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It might be a clip round the ear if you keep paying out your elders

    You cheeky young bugger. I can hit something with any one of my rifles (well at least inside the first 3 feet).
