   3Ballers liked post by earplay On thread : Kaimai Deer and Wallows – Year-Round Use?

   I think it's good advice to focus more on proximity to water (during summer), and keep an eye on wind. Certain sections of Kaimai's have very little terrain (i.e. a plateau), so it can help to focus...

   I assume this what you mean dogmatix? I'll plan to give it a clean and look down the barrel with my budget borescope when I get a chance. 266297

   If you're close to a H&F or other shop that sells DPT gear, they sometimes have spare bushings available in different sizes. It's what I did when I needed a different size (and actually what DPT...

    Bit more risk potentially, but second hand options often offer much better value. I got my howa 1500 around two years ago, scope and suppressed for $1k. Apparently a "box of ammo" through it....
