    Greetings All, 182826 This is my Martini chambered in .30-40 Krag. It falls a little outside longshot's criteria of "still out there actively knocking over critters" but this is due to deficiencies...

    Not going to win the oldest contest, but the oldest I have is a 1986 Remington 700 in 243. Comfortably a sub MOA gun. Obviously been very well looked after by previous owners. Trigger definitely...

    I have a full Brownells set that was presented to me by Bob Brownell when I visited in the mid '80's. I have broken a few bits as they are quite brittle when ground to suit the narrow slots on...

    I know for a fact that deer culled near chch recently had meat recovered, commercially minced and donated to a local food bank. But that type of thing is easy when close to town.

    AS linked here very recently, our local NZDA gifted processed Venison to a local charity , mainly in the form of patties. Yes, I realise that this was done by volunteer hunters, but surely the...

    Used to be chillers all round the South Island with a chiller truck from Hoki picking up once a week. Shoot your deer, deliver to local chiller then get a cheque in the mail a couple of weeks later,...

    The good work you are doing with your pest control is obviously in the same vein as this, but at least you spoke about harvesting prime cuts. It seems a shame that there is not some way that either...

    Cordite liked post by Flyblown On thread : Shooting to waste
    When venison prices are so low, the cash & effort invested to recover animals is low. Recovery of venison from ground based night shooting on anything other than flat paddock country is a total...

    I had a brief conversation with a local guy this morning, he's running a pest control operation covering 90,000ha of forest. !4 shooters, lots of thermal work, targeting mainly deer and goats. But...

    Cordite liked post by 40mm On thread : Screwdriver advice
    What @minns2 said. I mostly use a screwdriver with interchangable bits. Then grinding a bit down is not so bad if it is only good for one screw... Also whatever I find along the way. i dont...

    If you have slotted screws (lever actions...) on the firearms you want to work on, make sure you get a decent set with hollow ground slotted bits.

    Cordite liked post by Ackley On thread : Shooting for "groups"
    You are trying to over think shooting groups. All shots are relative to the point of aim, so the 1st shot does count because you don't change your point of aim to where the 1st shot prints on the...
