Here’s my 2c: -sell the 6.5-06. The Swede is pretty close performance-wise, but with less recoil and barrel wear -sell the Grendel. Not a great choice for varminting (rainbow trajectory). And for...

If you’re primarily a bush hunter go with the swaro 8x25s. I tend to use binos infrequently in the bush, so lugging some full size 8x42s around and then not using them much gets annoying, but you...

308 has more energy @400yd but more wind drift. A 168 eldm driven hard out of a 308 would be a devastating round in the mountains. But agree the 6.5s are very good

Yeah if you were purely a bush hunter you wouldn’t choose one. But they are an inch shorter than a 3-15 or 3-18 and and don’t have the Hubble-like bulkiness of a 50 or 56mm objective. I ran a 2-7x33...

Cheers mate. I’ve been meaning to get my kids behind this rifle; that would mean that four different generations of our family had put some rounds through it :thumbsup:

This was purchased by a family member in the late 60’s. After close to 50 years of hard use I got it tidied up and it came up mint, especially considering it’s previous condition Very well engineered...

Cracker of a yarn mate, loved it! That country reminded me a bit of a block I used to hunt near the Wanganui river; very remote and slowly losing the battle with the regenerating scrub, but a...

I found the 22mag a bit of a mixed bag on goats. As Flyblown mentions, yearlings and the like are quite diminutive in size; a 22mag will cream them at 100yd no trouble. But solid billies are a...
