Had a couple of 6.5 Grendel's out this week with a few mates chasing some fallow. Great time had by all, such a pleasure to carry and hunt with. S&B is a 1-6 power and gets me on target to 500m. ...

One of the nylon 'fold into their own pocket' jobbies is the way I reckon. They are not super water proof after a while, but the 'roof and gutter' silicon + turps fixes that. In fact they turn out...

Back yesterday from a week up the rakaia. No chamois harmed but what are we thinking for size? 1st picture unicorn. My guess was a good 10.5 or so. 2nd buck about 8-8.5 small bases. 3rd buck...

Just snuck in between rain showers. Final sight in for 59gn 143gnELDX. Will drop the March 2 clicks and all done. Very consistent speed with previous loaded rounds. ...

Nice one. I shot a fallow doe on Friday at 649 yards, took two steps and fell over. My furthest shot with my 6.5 PRC so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have two 1-8 FC-MOA reticle scopes, use them a lot. I don't use the hashes, just dial to 500m on animals. When I'm walking I put the throw lever vertical at 3x and the reticle is very fast to...

I highly rate them that much I’ve got two of them, parallax is handy for a 10 power scope, 2 illumination colours for day and evening shooting, bomb proof reliability as I’ve had mine bounce of the...

Well I’ve managed to source one - 2.5-10 NXS that is, thanks to one of the members here. Everything in life is a compromise, period. Like choosing a woman, it just comes down to what are your...

I agree with you that Zeiss are pretty amazing in low light. From ones I have compared / used I think that they beat all others. The East German Zeiss are quite something, made for shooting in...

That NXS does come in at a good weight. I liked my NX8 but I did notice the extra weight and it was enough that I no longer enjoyed carrying the rifle compared to when it had a VX5 on it. Was an epic...

I have one, awesome scope. Just a touch lightweight on zoom power for longer range but the crosshairs(IHR reticle)on mine are nice and fine so up to 400yards is fine. Make sure you get a Zero stop...

Ooo I like the sound of that. It's what NF needs to release.. I also looked at the 2,5-10 NF but sika and chammy are pretty small animals, I like the extra zoom.
