You'll find more easy deer if you turn yourself 180 degrees from the Wanganui river bridge on SH6 and head downstream to Fontaine road. Check out WAMS, there's a shitload of easy country in that wide...

16in would allow you to retain plenty of speed/energy for 400 yds and then some. Personally I’d run a larger pill like 150ELDx or 162s. BC is the gift that keeps giving

Youd struggle to beat tikka, I have 3. Value for money vs weight they are pretty hard to beat on paper, including paper targets. Here's 2 examples 223 169633 308 Note the weight is extremely...

The price. The sako is great,and I'll never sell it . The a7 has 3 lugs on the bolt, a good magazine release system and the roughtech stock is pretty good. But the extra $1000ish would have been...
