    Only thought of that after I got home. Will give the bipod to my mate for his Remy just for the hunt we're going on and I'll use my pack as a rest when needed.

    Love hunting in the rain. Almost always have success, especially after a bit of a dry spell. The deer love dressing on their grass!

    Light drizzle is perfect for dropping Sika in light Manuka, they observe you as if they had never seen a human.

    Probably got a BO mixed in with the 5.56 and didn't notice it going into the mag. I do wonder if he hammered it into battery with the FA. I would have thought the .30 cal would get squished in the...
